BEST PLUG TOBACCO MADE
Thf natural juices of choice to
bacco leaf have an appetizing,
wholesome relish and the only
way you can et their full benefit
is to chew good plug tobacco.
The choicest Hurley leaf pressed
into gohlcn-brown plugs of Old
Kentucky makes a chew that has
never been equalled for mellow
quality and pleasing taste.
The pressing of Old Kentucky
is done so slowly that not a par
ticle of the juice escapes, so that
every chew of Old Kentucky is
full of the wonderful fruity flavor
and wholesome quality that nature
put into the leaf.
You simply can't get so much
delicious appetizing flavor out of
any other chew.
Try a toe plug of Old Kentucky
and you'll get more solid tobacco
enjoyment out of it than you ever
had before. Ask your dealer for
Old Kentucky.

that the Judge likes fish he likes
some kinds better than others, but
he likes fish. In order to gratify his
natural affection for the little swim

provide a little sport with the rod,
he has re-stocked his private fish

BOX GAR SHORTAGE
IS MORE CRITICAL
AND RELIEF DISTANT
Currier Unable to Cope with tierce
IKemaiul and Commission Still-"
Keeking W'uy out of Tangle
T. A. BLAKESLEE, PRESIDENT
Cor. 0 and 14th St.,
LINCOLN, NEBRASKA
Strenuous efforts were made by
the Commission and its transporta
tion expert, to relieve the critical
shortage in box cur equipment on all
roads operated In Nebraska. During
most of the month every mail of the
Commission was filled with appeals
for aid. Three separate personal in
spection trips to terminals and over
the lines were made by Kate Expert
Powell, and in the light of his re
ports the Commission did its best to
secure relief.
An all-day hearing with transpor
tation officials of the various roads
was held on call of the Commission
to discuss the trouble and remedies.
The Commission was prepared to is
sue an order requiring roads to re
turn each other's curs received in
.witching service. Not a traffic man
except those of the Burlington but
said it would do more harm than
good.
At the close of the month the
Commission was preparing to issue
this order anyway, basing that order
n the studies of the department
rather than ou the opinion of the car
rier experts. It was admitted that
the Burlington would be the great
est gainer, but It also tapped the
i ost grain territory. A study lot
six dayo in the lust of September
showed. that the Burlington shipped
into Omaha 444 cars of grain und
handled over Its lines eastward 297
cars In the same time. Where the
reir.aln.lng grain cars went is shown
by the fact that the Chicago Great
Western shipped into the terminal
eleen crs of grain and carried out
213. The Missouri Purine shipped
in t wt r.ty-lhrce curs and shipped out
155. These cars once oft the orig
inating road are lost for u considera
hie perlol to the shippers.
The I'nlou Pacific amended its or
der fr sending box cars west so as
to take some from Kansas sonn
from Colorado, und to reduce tin
draft on Nebraska. At the sum
time it reused, at the urgent repre
sentation of the Commission, from
taking box cars off sidings where
they had been set for the harrassed
shippers. A careful analysis of the
figures showed the Commission's ex
pert that Nebraska had more than Its
share of cars and that the order to
send some west whs probably justi
fied. So heavy was traffic on the
t'nion Pacific at the close of Septem-I
ber that it required thirty-eight
switch-engine crews to handle tho
cars incoming und outgoing.
Steel coal curs with temporur
roofs were pressed Into service but
were not effective because so iuan
trminul houses ref-used to accept
them or made a $10 churge on the -shipper
for unloading. This mutter
was being Investigated by the Com
mission as the month closed.
On September 27 the Burlington
had about a hundred elevators on its
line completely blocked, as follows:
Lincoln division. 36; McCook divis
ion, 33; Wymore division. 31; Ster
ling division, 16; Holdrege to Cur
tis, 12. On September 27 the Bur
lington was loading 216 grain cars
at all its stations while its orders
for that day's loading were 13.16.
more thun could be loaded in one
day, of course.
The later part of the winter of'
191.1-16 saw a shortage of box car.-,
such as has not been seen before .
since the creation of a regulatory
public body und possibly not seen be
fore in the history of the state. It
was acute, but not to be compared
with the present situation because
not extending over so long a period. !
Prices have been high, the weath- ;
er hus been Ideal for threshing. ,
Farmers have been ouring the gold-1
en flood info the elevators of the
state. Dealers have been anxious to :
unload and take their profit rather,
than to run the risk of a falling mar
ket. Since late July the demand j
has far exceeded the supply of equip- ;
ment. The pressure of the shippers j
on the curriers has constantly grown i
heavier. Not only has this been true j
In Nebraska but the Commission has '
evidence thut It hus been equally se-i
vere In states to the west and south. !
The Commission has spent its .
funds freely In telegraph and tele
phone efforts to secure relief. That t
relief has been at best only tempor-
ary and some shippers have not ap-'
predated it. In the main, the ship
pers have, however, been extremely
fair. They have asked only what
others were getting.
The month saw the carefully plan
ned campaign of the Burlington with
its thousands of miles of trackage
within the state fall to pieces and its
customers suffering hardly less sev
erely on acoeunt of lack of cars than
the Union Pacific, although not for
so long a time. The cry for help.
beginning in the west, has spread at
the close of the month onto every di
vision of that road's lines.
On September 23 the Omaha Grain
Exchange, receiving but a part of the
production of wheat in the state, re
ported that it had handled 3.679
cars of grain in the month as oppos
ed to 2.627 cars in the same period
of 1915, and 43,194 cars of grain
during 1916 up to September 23 as
opposed to 26,347 cars the preceding
period.
A distressing feature of the situa
tion was the order of the I'nion Pa
cific to send 75 to 100 empty box
cars out of the state west each day.
To fill this order dispatchers were re
quired to send extras over the line
and even pull empties away from in
dustry sidings This visible fact
pins the trainloads of empties going
past the famished shippers caused a
tremendous furore. To meet the
condition and to furnish some effect
ive relief has been the chief consid
eration c.f the Commission, mingled
as It has been with much activity in
litigation In state and federal courts
over the proposed heavy Increase in
freight rates, and the litigation in
federal court over proposed lnc roas
t's in passenger rates. At the closw
of the mouth the Commission, a
hurnih.sed as the shippers, has not
found a true ct.urse out of the dilfl-cu'iy.
