THE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6. 1917.
NEBRASKA NURSE -LEAYES
FOR FRANCE
Hiss Hope Richardson Soon to
Begin Her Work There;
father an Early
Pioneer.
Mr. and Mrs. George Richardson of
Lisco are at' the Paxton hotel in
Omaha for a short visit with their
daughter, Miss Hope, who leaves soon
to begin active work as a Red Cross
nurse on the battle line in France.
Mr. Richardson owns a ranch of
many hundred acres in Garden county.
He feeds many thousand head of
cattle.
"Our county has been transformed
in the last few years," said Mr. Rich
ardson. "Such wonderful progress, has
been made it is scarcely believable.
-Automobiles go right over our did
sand hill trails and tractors are in
general use we'll be using airplanes
next.
"Crops are excellent in our part of
the state. We are doing our bit to
prevent a sugar shortage. There are
two new sugar factories in little towns
in our vicinity. Many of my cattle
are fattened On sugar beet lops.
"Nebraska is a wonderful state,"
mused Mr. Richardson. Mrs. Rich
ardson and I settled in Council Bluffs
m 1868. How weU I remember how
we came across the river to attend
the opening celebration of the Paxton
hotel Let's see, that must have been
more than 35 years ago, and what a
treat we thoueht it was."
Mr. Richardson has an intense in
terest in the war. He was born in
England. Many of his cousins are
in the trenches. Two of them have
been killed. His grandson is in train
ing at Deming. His daughter received
her commission to go to the front as
a trained Red Cross nurse in June.

Packers Think Hog
Price is Too High
Packers did not greet the news
of the government hog price fixing
with enthusiasm.
"I think a mistake was made in
fixing $15.50 as the minimum price,"
said General Manager Howe of Ar
mour's. "Las . year's com price was
used as a base for this minimum
price. Corn last year was the
highest in history. This year it is
lower and the crop is much larger.
I am puzzled as to how the govern
ment will apply this theory in actual
practice."
"My opinion is only personal,"
said General Manager Murphy of
Cudahy's, "but I believe a maximum
price would be more fair to the
packers than a minimum.
Utile Likelihood of Coal
Shortage, Say Freight Men
Omaha railroad freight officials re
port that information from the ,ra4l
road war board indicates slieht orob-
ability of any serious coal shortage
in the central west.
Railroad men show that the rail
roads are bending every effort to
'ransport an, adequate coal supply for
domestic and .industrial , purposes.
They add that while a greater quan
tity ot coal has been mined and dis
tributed during the last summer and
this fall the consumption of the coun
try has been the ereatest ever known.
During the season, with five weeks
remaining before the close of navi
gation on the lakes, 23,348,100 tons of
the 29,000,000 tons of eastern coal, es
timated consumption for the. west and
northwest, has been docked or is in
.transit at this time.
Cornhusking Progresses
Rapidly, Railroads Report
Railroads operating in Nebraska re
vive reports from agents that corn
husking progressed rapidly last week.
It is said the short spell of cold
weather dried up the husks and put a
large portion of the corn in prime
condition for husking.
Reports to the railroads indicate
that the quantity of soft torn is con
siderably below the normal and that
everywhere the yield is fully up to
forecasts. .
Winter wheat is reported to be do
' ing well, but over most of the terri
tory rain is needed to wet the ground
tj prevent it from blowing away from
the roots of the plant, expected after
freezing weather unless there is the
normal quantity of moisture.
' .
Firemen Given Boost in
Pay of Ten Dollars Month
The city council", committee of the
whole voted to grant firemen an in
crease of pay from $90 to $100 a
month, beginning January 1, 1918. A
recent decision of the state suoreme
court sustained the district court in a
decision that the city must pay fire
men a maximum of $90 a month and
may pay a maximum of $100. A dele
gation of firemen called on the city
commissioners;
Members of the police department
now receiving a maximum' of $90 a
month have been promised a maxi
mum of $100, commencing January 1.
State Teachers
Registering For
Big Convention
Registration of Omaha teachers for
the state meeting has started at head
quarters at the Rome hotel, with
Belle M. Ryan, secretary, in charge.
J. F. Mathews, treasurer of the Ne
braska State Teachers' association,
has arrived from Grand Island.
The sessions will be held on
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
The first general session will be held
on Wednesday evening in the Audi
torium. It is proposed to have all local
teachers registered before the visitors
begin to arrive on Wednesday morn
ing. New Term of Court Finds
Dockets Less Crowded
District court of Douglas county
began its new term with the dockets
somewhat less crowded than usual,
but still sufficient to guarantee that
the judge'f bench is no sinecure. The
drafting of important witnesses and
of parties to -impending actions has
had the effect of decreasing litigation
to a certain extent. ,
Ninety-eight foreign born residents
of Douglas county who have enjoyed
the limited citizenship privileges given
under "first papers" were granted full
citizenship in the United States by
Judge Sears, when they presented
their applications for "second papers"
in court yesterday.
