PVom a 8taff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Jan. . SpeclaI. An at
tnpt of Trumble to have Indefinitely
rtponed II. R. S3 53 wa unsuccessful
. the lover house today. The bill limit
lie membership of engine. hose and
Ire companlea to twenty-five and re
ulrea companies to have , a certain
mount of property. The discusslm was!
fought on by an amendment of Dafoe
thlch waa adopted.
This waa done over the strenuous pro
s of the bill's Introducer. Messrs.
fostetlcr and Harris, and also by Messrs.
tlchols and Broome. The vote on adop
dn of the amendment was 40 to 35r
ifterward a proposal to require ten
pars' service In a volunteer fire t'epart
ent. Instead of five years, to s-cure
ie benefit of exemptions from military
id Jury service and payment of poll
x was rejected, 33 to 36.
Mr. Trumble, eft or complaining that
lie bill waa unfair to the farmers, at
tmpted to have. It Indefinitely post
bned, but only thirteen votes wera cast
favor of this motion. The committee
I the whoe a row and reported progress
flthout -taking final action on the bill,
ta supporters will try to obtain a recon
(deration on the Dafoe amendments.
During the discussion Mr. Broome as
prted that "3,000 volunteer fireman of
rebraska are demanding the passage of
he bill in the form It was Introduced.
o this Mr. Dafoe retorted that the pres
Sent of the fire department In Mr.
froome's home . town. Alliance, had
fcreed to oia statements, and that Fire
ommlssioner Rldgelt, who Is also from
illiance,. was satisfied with them.
A little later Mr. Trumble spoke against
he bill because the exemption from poll
kx take money out of the road fund,
ie estimated that exemptions for 75,000
jremen In twenty-six years, the average
eriod of service, would mean a total loss
f J4,0oe,000 to the road funds of the va
lous counties.
"Let the cities and towns pay for their
iwn fire protection." wa his plea, "and
lot stick it Into- the farmer every time
ju get a chance."

Scott's Bluff -Sugar
Factory Turns Out
Half Million Bags
SCOTT'S ULCKF, Neb., Jan. 28.-(Sne-clal.)
The sugar factory cloeed up the
Job of slicing beets at S o'clock Monday,
finishing the biggest crop of the best
beets evr grown In the North Ilatte
valley or Nebraska. As Is usual on such
occasions the factory whistle Is blown
for a half hour. Manager Plmmons say
that In many way this has been the
most satisfactory year since the factory
was established.
One million, four hundred thousand dol
lar wan paid to the beet grower of the
Scott's Bluff country. Two hundred and
ten 'thousand" tons were sliced at the
Scott Bluff factory, and about 40.0M
taken to other factories. The campaign
haa lasted 117 days of twenty-four hours
each, and "CO men have been employed
In the mill. After a short rest the greater
part of these will go to the beet fields
for the" summer.
The crop grown In this vicinity for
1914 Is the largest grown under any one
supervision in the United States the last
season, and there was less waste acre
age; tho beets were better taken caro of,
the tonnage per acre wa larger and the
sugar content better than any previous
year. The total output, which exceeds
500,000 bags, will fill 1,000 freight cars.

PROBLEM, DEMAND AND SUPPLY
CHICAGO. Jan. 3 Optimism and pes
simism have a direct, bearing on the price
of grain, according to James A. Fatten,
veteran gruln dealer and Hoard of Trade
leader, testifying today In the government
suit for the dissolution of the "call com
mittee" of the Hoard of Trade.
The government's contention In the suit
was that the committee arbitrarily fixed
grain prices.
The chief font lire In fixing prices, Mr.
Fatten testified, was the problem of sup
ply and demand.
"There are other causes beside supply
and demand," sold J!r. ratten. "Take
for Instance In the year ISM to 1SWS, the
entire country wo.s In pessimistic state of
mind. If the people feel well and sleep
well at night they will be In an optimistic
state of mind. They will be more willing
to look at things In nn optimistic, way.
Consequently prices will be good. In 1W3
to ISM the prices all over the country
were in a very imor state."
"Give us your iw-st Judgment as to the
amount of speculative buying on the
Hoard of Trade hern as compared with
the actual transactions?'" asked tho as
sistant -attorney general.
"That would bo almost Impossible," re
plied the witness. "For Instance the
corn market at present Is moving very
freely, r The merchants in Duluth are
collecting a largo supply from all over
the country. They nro storing It ther
and will put It on the Chicago Board of
Trade next spring. Not a single car. 1
venture to say, will be shipped tQ Chi
cago. They are buying the corn now at
a price 7 cents beneath what the price
will b In May. These price must come
together. They always do. ' They will
either sell the corn through the Hoard of
Trade for eastern consumption or for
export. They are not greatly concerned
a to whether the price rise beyond the
certs or not. Seven cents will cover
the Interest and storage charge until
May. Their chief almr I to avoid a decline."
'I do not call that speculation." con-
(inued Mr. Fatton. "That Is legitimate
business."
