Its Wheat Growers Edition, in which
was presented a mass OF detailed In.
formation. carefully prepared. to
show Just what the wheat farmers
face and the remedial program neces-
sary.
Impressed by Facts.
The appearance OF this edition IN
Washington excited much attention,
Mr.. Coolidge being particularly In
terested As result of the inquiry
made by the tariff commission. II
was developed that the cost of pro.
ducing wheat In the United States is
considerably more than so per cent
higher than in Canada. This report
was presented 10 the president and
made public about 10 days ago. On
the facts then developed. and the IN
formation contained in the special
edition Of The Omaha Bee. the presi-
dents action is based.
In this campaign The Omaha Bee
has had the support OF many OF the
newspapers published In the interior
of Nebraska. whose editors understand
and appreciate the problem. 1t has
also had the support OF many business
men In Omaha. At first this paper
stood alone. but by It's persistent ef-
forts and direct arguments was able
10 convince even the most despairing
that something could be done for the
farmers.
No greater service could have been
done for the farming region than to
improve the situation OF the wheat
growers. Their plight affected all
other elements OF business.
Other Changes Needed.
The broader program set out In the
special wheat edition issued by The
Omaha Bee must be put into practice
IL the condition OF the farmers. par
ticulariy the wheat farmer. Is TO be
permanently improved.
This program. in addition TO an IN
creased tariff. calls for a readjust
ment OF export freight rates. This
will enable the American farmer tc
&c, his wheat TO tidewater at q rate
commensurate with the EXPORT rates
In Canada.
Next there must be 4 reduction ir
wheat acreage to the extent OF 20 tc
a5 per cent.
Finally. the present situation could
be relieved and a fine piece Of hum
gress should appropriate funds 10
take over whatever surplus wheat is
now in the country for the relief OF
starving children in the cities Of Eu'
rope.

of April each year with the opening

cover the difference in conversion
costs in the two countries.

duefion OF mill feeds between the
United States and the Dominion OF

A Puzzle


A certain "Hocum Company" man
ufactured a common product, which
however, was of a very poor stand
ard being, in fact, nothing but col
ored water. An enraged customer
pasted a piece of paper over their
label, bearing the significant words
BUNK and LIE" which expressed
his opinion of the company's guar
antee." Those two words tell what
was in the bottle Simply re-arrange
the letters BUNK, LIE" and you
viii discover Hocum's alleged prod
uct, the name Of which was printed
on the label
Answer to previous puzzle:
The mans viii stated that a son
should receive twO-thirds of the es-
tate of the widows one-third: or a
daughter one-third to the widows two
thirds. As both a sen and a daughter
figured in the division, the affair
seems rather complicated. Matters
are Strengthened very simply, how
ever. The daughter would naturally
receive the smallest share. So call
her share one unit The widow is
entitled to twice as much as the
daughter, so she receives two units
and the son, who should receive twice
as much as the widow, gets four
Thus the division is as follows: Daugh
ter, one-seventh; widow, two-sevenths
son, four-sevenths.
