 During MT. Burdick's period of au- thority he has been responsible for many of the modern improvements in policy as well as system. He is thoroughly progressive and Is said to be responsible for the Saturday half holiday. employees insurance plan. an- nual vacation for salaried employees. etc. As warking man himself he Is said to feel the keenest interest in the needs and problems of his fellow workers. As an official his interest in the concern to which he has dedi- cated the best part of his life, Is shown when 1t is stated that to him goes much of the credit for the world wide reputation for precision, accu- racy and superior quality Of Stanley tools. To his unswerving policy for | 100 per cent. efficiency in its finished product, the name Stanley Tool" owes its present position as house. hold word.

 Forgot the Children.
 The official board of the church, Of which he is treasurer. had de- c'ded to present bouquets to every person attending the Mothers Day service. These flowers were given out by young women, who, unfortunately, overlooked a good many children, who also attended the service. Several youngsters, including one little miss fully at the flower girls as they con- fined their attention to adults.
 Making Someone Happy.
 Tears gathered in the eyes of the 1 little girl referred to, when MT. Bur dick, who was taking up collection, had his attention called to her dis appointment. Securing a substitute to finish the collection, he immediate ly went out to the lobby, procured a, bouquet and carried it to the front pew where he changed the tears of his little friend to smiles of happiness "Oh, that's nothing" he said, when some one commented upon it after the service, I'm always glad of a chance to make the children happy"
 MT. Burdick is first vice. president of Everyman's Bible class, and pre- sided over the original meeting when the class was launched last Novem- Der.
 His whole secret of success is found in motto which is said to hang over his desk, "1he man who stops never reached home" He is fond of quoting for the benefit of young men, the creed recently adopted by Every mans Bible class, at his suggestions: My Creed By Harold Arnold Walter T would be true, for there are those who trust me; I would be pure, for there are those who care:
 would be strong, for there is much to suffer;
 would be brave, for there is much to dare.

 I would be humble, for I know my weakness;
 would look up and laugh-and love-and lift"

UNIDENTIFIED MAN

New Elements of Mystery in Strange Case at White Plains-No
 One, Has Clue.

White Plains, N r., May 19-New elements of mystery today enveloped the murder of the unidentified young man whose body was found near here last Tuesday.
 Sheriff George J. Werner of Vest chester county was informed that a telegram signed with his name had been received by the city marshal of Haverhill Mass, and that the mes- sage declared the dead man was sup posed to be Clarence Peters of Haver- hill.
 Sheriff Werner asserted he had never sent such a telegram and that no identification had been reported 10 him. It was possible, he said, that such telegram had been sent in his name by a deputy, but it was prob- able that such action would have been reported 10 him.
 The body was found on a lonely read near the northern end of the kensico reservoir, north of White Plains The man had been killed by gunshot wound in the chest

Mary Garden a Success.

The Chicago Opera is to have new director;
that is, if there is to be any more Chicago opera
Mary Garden, versatile seintillant, and aberrant,
says fatty she will never again direct the destiny,
the maneuvers or performances of the company.
Her place, she says, is among the artists, and
there she proposes to remain. At that it must be
admitted that Mary has been brilliant success
as head of the organization. She not only kept
the affair well up on the front page by reason
of her differences with other artists such as
Muratore, but she succeeded in doubling the
deficit for single year. Regularly the Chicago
opera has been coming out $s00,000 in the hole
at the end of each season. The gifted Miss
Garden could not be bothered with such triAes
as this; patry half million is almost insig-
nihcant when compared with grand opera sea-
son, especially when there are such things as
"The Love Of Three Oranges" to be produced
and why should art be trammeled by such sordid
conditions as mere money? Therefore Mary
presents the hackers of the enterprise with nice
little red ink balance Of $l,000,0o0 ,s the net re-
suit Of her career as director. The figures are
eloquent of Mary's ability as business woman,
and may possibly serve to support her statement
that she will not again be bothered with the man.

The Bills" and Their Bonds.

Omaha Elks have entered on the interesting
stage of an important program, that Of raising
the money whcrewith to finance the building
of million-dollar club house. That it will be
successful is admitted in. advance, for it is
characteristic OF the order TO put through what
ever it sets about doing. While it will primarily
tie for the benefit OF the members of the Or
ganization, it has some connection with the city
OF Omaha Elks as rule are "ye ones,' and
city which can boast Of lodge with member
ship as large as that OF No. SO in Omaha need
only point to the fact as proof Of the enter
prising character of its citizenship. One OF the
essential factors in the proper equipment of a
regularly ordained Elks lodge is club room,
where the members can meet, enjoy little re-
Taxation, where meetings may be held and busi-
ness transacted, and where sojourning brethren
may be made welcome and cared for. Omaha
lodge has long had such a place, but it is too
small to take care of the legitimate needs Of
the institution, and therefore the new building
is to 20 up 4 million dollars is large amount
OF money, but it is nothing when compared TO

Russo-German Window
Dressing

Germany and Russia are busy seeking new
ways to pay old debts. Not paying them at
all is the way both would like best to take
Pending further progress in that direction they
have made treaty which cancels outstanding
| claims which either may have against the other.
Both sets of claims are practically worth
less, tor neither country would think OF paying
the other except in stage money But the two
debtors are glad to indulge in an inexpensive
gesture of debt cancellation, hoping that it may
have moral effect on real credit nations which
would find similar gesture good deal more
costly.
The mutual sponging off of German Russian
reparaton claims is window dressing. The real
purpose Of the treaty is TO excite western Euro
pean fears that Germany will secure preferred
position in the Russian market. In that Ger
man diplomacy is at its subtlest. The Russian
market is nullity. No outsider can trade there
unless he is willing to sell on credit of a pre-
carious Sort Yet the soviet bangles conccs-
sions before the eyes Of western SPECTATORS
and investors. The GerARns wish to excite
jealousy by seeming to get into the Russian
field ahead of other nations.
This advantage, however, is worth nothing
to the Germans except in the theory that
Hugo SHINES and other German capitalists are
able to rush vast amounts of capital into naked
Russia. Yet if Germany has these vast sums
to spare-if she is in fact preparing to grow
rich by exploiting Russia with her surplus re-

she is on the brink of insolvency; that she can
not pay reparations; that she can not balance
her budget or impose adequate taxes on her
citizens?
The Russo-German debtors alliance is there
fore either a fiction or a fraud. If Germany
actually can't make payments on reparatons she
isn't in position to grow fat eventually by ex
plotting Russia, hazarding an enormous capital
in the process, she is able to keep on paying her
debts.

Farewell to Fatima.

Our old friend Fatinaa, she OF the dance orien.

Constantinople is that Fatima has been given

bravery in action against the Greeks.

her torrid posturins, now Fatima is leading pa.

in attacks on the enemy. On one Of these ocea
siohs she returned with Is prisoners. Whether
they were captured or merely captivated is not
told. At all events it is pleasant to view Fatima
who once received quarter per head from the
public, now herself giving quarter.
America has its hooch, but is now without its
cooche. Fatima is gone and all that remains is
the comfort Of jazz.

An All-Around State.

Every now and then dispute breaks out as
to which is the most valuable 10 humanity, a
man who only knows one thing and leads the
world in doing it. or the man who can do several
different things, any one Of them we'll enough to
bring fairly close to the specialists who excel in
a single accomplishment. Generally. the
all-around man has the better Of the argument,
for the reason that when the specialists fall
down in their particular line, they are out, while
the generally developed individual has some.
thing to fall back on.
What applies to men may also apply to COM
munities and to states. Take Nebraska, for ex-
ample: Iowa is first, Illinois second, and Ne
braska third in the number OF brood sows, which
means hog raising; Iowa is first, Illinois second,
and Nebraska third in corn production; Kansas
is first and Nebraska is second in winter wheat
production; Kansas is FIRST North Dakota Sec
ond and Nebraska third in all-wheat produc-
tion, and finally, Nebraska is fourth in oats pro-
duction There are four marks worth noting.
As an a-around producer Of food, Ne
braska tops the list. Iowa, Kansas and Illinois
may lead this state in specialtes, but in the di-
vershed agriculture, that finally makes for pros
perity and happiness, we have outdistanced
them. All Nebraska's eggs are not in one
basket, and the result is safety.

COn0ress Must Do Something

The present merchant marine is temporary,
ruinously expensive, and rapidly disappearing
for lack of plan of maintenance. and opera
ton. The drain upon the treasury is enormous
in spite of the reforms instituted by the board
under Chairman Lasker. What will congress
do? Will it grapple with this uneconomcal, ex-
travagant makeshift situation and transform it
into merchant marine sytem that will be per-
manent, economical and efficient? That is the
course to pursue if it is the wish of congress to
make showing Of economy and a curtailment
of taxes.
The shipping bill is the result of long inquiry
by experts who have done the work at the in
stance of President Harding. Possibly the plan
may be improved upon. 1t is before congress
for that purpose. The best possible plan is the
one that should be evolved and adopted. If con-
gress can evolve plan that will avoid paying
a subsidy and will achieve the desired result, it
goes without saying that President Harding and
the shipping board would welcome the new
plan and would eagerly put it into operation
as soon as it had become law.
Here is a golden opportunity for making
real record for economy while at the same time
providing for the security Of the nations COM

Credit for Farm Operations.

Various measures are being presented in con-
sress. dealing with the problem of the farmer s
credits. all aiming TO supply al reasonable rates
and on favorable terms the capital needed 10
carry on iatm operations. Measer outlines OF
these measures, passed along by the ,elesraphie
news, gives the impression iha, none OF them
wholly eompfebendS the fundamentals OF farm
financing On the surface they all parake in
some degree OF the nature OF the Simmons bill,
which is obviously designed to make borrowing
easy for the farmer. This is not the worst OF the
farmers problems.
Underlying the agricultural industry is the
great question OF working capital In a large
measure this is secured through borrowing, and
as rule the farmer borrows the entire amoun,
oi his working capital, only few providing any
part OF il Tor himself The banks have always
provided this and one effect has been, as ex-
emplihed by the experience of 1921, that when
money is scarce or crops move slowly, or all era
of low prices prevail, the farmer suffers unduly
because OF his eurtailcd borrowing ability. Per-
manent relief from this will como only when the
farmer is enabled to finance his own operations
TO much greater extent than he is at present.
Where the entire profit on his operations is
rsed to pay interest on borrowed money the
farmer is unable to accumulate capital. There
fore the first great need is an arrangement
whereby the agricultural industry may be put on
a basis OF ability 10 finance its own operation, to
the extent of at least 50 per cent OF its needs.
When thus provided for, and with improved
methods Of marketing that will give a more
stable price condition. the farmers money prob
len, will soon be sofened il not entirely relieved
Unless this is done, any measure to facilitate bor-
rowing will merely continue situation that is
preventing progress in agriculture.
Farmers today bave tremendous sums Of fixed
capital invcstcd what they need is liquid capital,
and they need it on terms that will enable them
to share TO greater extent in the profits Of the
farm If congress can devise measure that will
satisfy this need, it will have served the country
we'll If it is only planning to turn the tide OF
borrowing from one channel to another, little Of
permanent good may be expected from any of
the measures that may be passed

What Is the Ideal State ;

If Prof Frederic Bass Of the University OF
Minnesato municipal and sanitary engineering
department is to be credited, the present day is
seeing the fufllment OF Platos ideal republic.
Politicians, who are elected to office simply be-
last dropping into oblivion, according to this
view. The tendency today is in the direction of
placing experts in charge of each phase of gov
ernnent work. Professor Bass asserts. .a
Plato did not consider himself dreamer, but
actually believed that eventually state resen-
bling his ideal commonwealth would arise. What
he attempted TO outline in his dialogues was a
form Of society in which the ideal man might find
himself at home. Then would philosophers no
longer watch from their hilltop Of contemplation
while the rest of the world rolled by, but with the
consent of mankind they would rule by right Of
wisdom.
The present tendency toward specialization,
the Minnesota engineer says, will make for bet
ter government. Carried to the length outlined
by the ancient Greek, however, something very
different from democracy would result The true
government, to him, was the rule, not Of many,
but of one or few. "And they may govern,
whether poor or rich, by free will or compulsion,
and either with or without law, so long as they
govern scientifically" he wrote.
In its broader aspects the republic Of Plato
was actuatcd by love Of truth and zeal for human
improvement. These fundamentals of good gov
ernment are increasing in extent today faster,
however, than is rule by experts or philosophers.
So long as the choice lies between freedom and
efficiency, most nloderns will prefer the former.
