this year Instead of 19,000,000, aa reported
hy the State Agricultural board, accord
ing to emphatlo states by Food Commis
sioner Harman.
Here la tbe way the latter figures It
out: Each person In the state averaged
twenty-five pounds of butter used per
pear and that butter averaged 25 cents
a pound a year-round price. That would
make a total of SS.000,000.
Then added to this, according- to Mr.
Harman. was a 115,000,000 total of other
butter shipped out of the state, butter
at wu over and above that needed
here.
And then in addition to that waa 12,000.
000 of country butter sent to big stations
for work-over and from there sent out
side the state for storage and ultimate
ususge.
On top of all this, says Mr. Harmnn,
then is a $16,000,000 total of cream anJ
milk that is used In the homes of the
state day by day and which goes Into
ice cream and so forth.
Figures in Mr. Herman's office show
that the creameries of the state have a
total yearly production of $15,000,000 a
year and -what- they work with const!
tutea about 40 per cent of the total pro

The National Reneflt, Health and Ac
cident association of Omaha hsa appealed
to the supreme court from a judgment
secured in the Douglas county district
court by the heirs of the estate of Albert

Mr. Rswltier waa a member of the as
sociation and held a policy for $5,000 in

Too Many Aaonymons Letter.
Attorney General Reed la very often
the recipient of letters Informing him of
violations of the law in certain towns
and asking hint to get busy and have
Nebraska
the vlolatera brought before a tribunal
of Justloe and given their Just deserts.
This morning he received one of them
stating that a certain unnamed Individual
waa violating the law In a certain town
to beat the band and If the attorney gen
eral would only come there and hang
around for a few days he could get all
the evidence needed to convict.
IJke most of the writers of these kind
of letters, he failed to subscribe his name
and therefore the state official does not
know who to go to get Information re
garding a like unknown Individual who is
breaking the law.
The attorney general would like in
dlvlduala sending In these letters to slirn
their names, not for publication, but as
evident of good faith and that he may
know who to take the matters up with.
Other departments, like the hotel com
mission, the Inbor commission and the
fire commission are constantly reoelvlng
complaints of this kind, but have no way
of knowing how to get started on a
prosecution and the state has voted no
funds to enable them to go to a town
and "hang around a while" In order to
discover what is doing.
