We are sure that live stock com munion men, who are member of the Lire Stork Exchanges, are entit led to much credit for the work which they are doing In the Interest of their customers, the stockmen. There Is certainly necessity for lire stock commission merchants. To successfully handle live stock, it has been found that it takes talent, com bined with honesty. Ingenuity and "re sponsibility. It Is surprising how many people lack information on this Important subject, who ought to be posted bet ter in regard to the methods of mar keting lire stock at the open mar kets. Some of the things that a member of the Live Stock Exchange may not do and maintain standing and mem bership are: "He shall not be guilty of Improper conduct of a personal character." "He shall not wilfully violate a business contract or obli gation." "He shall not be guilty of any act of bad faith, or of any dis honorable or dishonest conduct." These, it seem to us, are very good rules to be applied to any business man. To be found guilty of any or all of these things, subjects the mem ber to fine or expulsion from mem bership in the exchange, as may be determined from the nature and gravity of the offense. Officer of the Exchange Following are the oflicers of the Sioux City Llvo Stock Exchange: Thoma Dealtry, president; V. C. Hudson, vice president; M. W. Bald win, traffic manager; Paul H.

Some Important work has been done by the Sioux City Exchange, of In terest and benefit to the stockmen of Nebraska and other states who ship to this market, which we hope to mention more fully and in detail at some future time. KAMI MA H NAME TO HTtX'KMEN Peter Prominent in Northeastern as Well as Northwestern Nebraska One of the names familiar to the people of northwestern Nebraska is Peters, prominent as ranchmen and business men, of whom there are a number of families but not all relat ed.
