A traveling salesman was at Ne

writer that in making a trip from
Louisville to Plattsmouth last Wed
nesday when the storm was raging,
he put in just six hours in making
the sixteen miles. We know that the
road over there is not the very best,
but we did not think any Ford would
take that long to make the distance,
and he sure drives a Ford. With our
car, which has been driven over 50
thousand miles, we can make better
time than that, even on that stretch
of road.

hif duties every day. He complained
little and not even his relatives real

Two weeks ago he submitted to a
physical examination and was advis

ment. Thursday a gall-bladder op
eration was performed. Unable to re
sist the toxic condition which had
r.ssailed him for months ho failed to
respond and death came shortly after
the end of the third day.

FACTS ABOUT NEBRASKA
Over two-thirds of the food con
sumed on Nebraska farms is home
produced. The average adult farmer
consumes in a year 295 pounds of
meat, 57 dozen eggs.. 336 quarts of
milk, 3 pounds of butter and 7
pounds of cheese. Also the average
per-capita consumption of flour is
227 pounds, of vegetables 166 pounds,
17 quarts of which were dried or
canned. Of canned fruits and vege
tables combined there is an annual
consumption of 291 pounds per man.
Most of the 91 pounds of sugar con
sumed per-capita is made in Ne
braska and practically all ef the
meats, vegetables and fruits, as well
as dairy products. The farmer eats
more than the urban dweller, but
pays out less than half as much in
cah for his food.

The court sustained a plea that
