Phone AT. 4361 Snap corn la corn which remains in the ehuck. Texas cattlemen use it for feeder cattle brought in from the range for the winter. They grind it up, cob, shuck and all. Shucked corn or shelled corn can not be used in Texas because of a weevil which thrives on unprotected corn. This weevil, however, cannot live in corn in which the shuck re mains. Texas does not raise enough corn to supply winter feed for its cattle and ordinarily draws upon Oklahoma. The Oklahoma crop this year was short, with the result that the Texas cattlemen have come into this part of the country for their corn. Freight rates to Texas are favorable and the farmer gets an additional profit eince he does not have to go to the expense of shuckirfg this corn. t Women Show Political Zest Republican Field Worker Finds West More Active Than East. Women are showing murh more in terest and are taking a greater share of the responsibilities in the 1924 po litical campaign, according to Louise M. Dodson, national republican chair man of field activities, who was In Omaha Friday on her way to Lin coln. Louise Dodson is associate member of the national committee from Iowa. Although she has lived in Washing ton for the greater part of the time since the 1920 campaign, she retains her residence and vote in Des Moines. "Tiie republican national commit tee considers it Important to develop the political instinct in women,” said Miss Dodson. "The members of the committee realized that to have only a central point of contact wag not the best way of stimulating interest. They believed that a personal visit would help. “I find the women in the west and tniddlewest much more active In poli tics than their eastern sisters. They ere making the proper connections between polities and economic condi tions in their vicinity. They are bet ter able to bring out the feminine vote than the men and are very use ful in bringing out the male vote. "Loyalty to party Is growing among women. Before the franchise was granted them, they knew llttlfe or nothing about parties and party prin ciples.” Snows, Colder Due Next Week Washington, Feb.

Johnson state headquarters here. Issued through the malls as the opening gun of tbe Johnson eamnalgn In Net^s kn. The administration’s stand on' adjusted compensation and the south ern delegate question also come in for Its share of criticism. The state ment follows In pari: "The trohble with the Mellon plan is that it Is drafted to help the very lleh. Very few of them live In Ne braska, and they could afford to wait a year or two longer. The last con gress reduced their taxes materially. Now they are Insisting on another big reduction. "Under this Mellon law the laboring men, the tenant farms re, the small farmers and small operators get no tax reduction whatever. "The man who has a taxable In come of $3,000 (over and above his legal exemptions) will get his tax re duced by $3. IIow many of you who read this are in that class? "An Income of $4,000 will have a reduction ofk$15. "An Income of $5,000, a reduction of $25. “An Income of $10,000, a reduction of $160. "An Income of $20,000, a reduction of $460. "An income of $100,000, a reduction of $33,900. “An Income of $500,000, a reduction of $63,000. "An Income of $1,000,000, a reduc tion of $252,000. "An Income of $5,000,000, a reduc tion of $1,350,000. "In which class do you figure? I^ave out less than two doxen Omaha and TJncoln men, and the reduction on Mr. Mellon's personal Income Is larger than the reduction for all the people of Nebraska combined. Nice old ‘tax reduction’ scheme!"
