Following sfllcn of Investiga
tion rtirtood ty C. C. lllnklcy,
chief tpnf'nerr of the Chalmers Motor
Co.. and J. C. McCabe, Detroit city
engineer, the city of Detroit has
adopted a set of standards for gaso
line which must bo strictly observed
by nil dealers In tho city.
Designated as "Detroit City Stand
ard," tho new type of gaaollne In de
fined ns a liquid hydro-enrbon obtain
ed by straight distillation or by the
cracking process and having: a boil
ing temperature not exceeding 4 50
degrees Fahrenheit. It must distill
at least 20 per cent at 220 degrees
Fahrenheit and SO per cent under
300 degrees Fahrenheit when tested
by tho (list Illation test provided for
In the ordinance.
Any mixture of gasoline and ker
osene which does not measure up to
this test tnuct be labeled "Mixed G
K" and sold as a mixture of the two
oils. Signs designating the quality
of the gasoline sold must be plainly
displayed on tho pump from which
the liquid is drawn so that tho cus
tomer knows which type ho is paying
for.
With the constantly decreasing
quality of tho gasoline being sold on
our city Btreets to-day, we decided it
was time to stage a campaign of edu
cation for the benefit of motor car
users" said Mr. Hinkley discussing
tho new ordinance. "For test pur
poses we purchased samples of gaso
line at different stations around De
troit and tested it for kerosene We
found that from 8 to 23 per cent of
the liquid was kerosene. The big oil
companies blame the various dealers
for the adulteration and have O. K'd
the Detroit City Standard as a meth
od of protecting the public from an
nlferlor product.
"We are sending the Detroit form

That the Omaha federal farm loan
bank will not be making loans for
some thirty days, is the opinion of Di
rector Frank Odell, in an Interview
with a representative of tho press.
Mr. Odell is now opening a tempor-
ry ofiice in the Woodman of the
World building in Omaha.
"Many farmers are confronted to
day with the expiration of their farm
mortgages, and will be forced to a re
newal with tho loan companies If they
cannot secure an extension," said
Mr. Odell. "It will be necessary for
them to arrange for extensions of
from 30 to 60 days before the Omaha
land. bank will bo able to accommo
date them.
'I will say right here that the price
of farm land In this district is going
o Increase considerably. In my opin
ion."
Several thousand letters have ac
umulated in the mall of the Omaha
and bank, while a great number from
Washington are being forwarded
here.
The offices will bo fully equipped
nd ready for business by the end of
he week, meanwhile Mr. Odell is at
he Commercial Club.
There will be no clerical appoint
mcnis made until tho next meeting
of Ui board March 15. Uecommen
dations for the appointment of three
appraisers, for South Dakota, Wyom
ne and Nebraska, have been for
warded to Washington. Thia posi-
ion pays $2,4 00 a year and expenses
No appraisers for Iowa will be recoui-
nemlcd until later, when the husi
ness from Iowa warrants the appoint
ment. The Nebraska appraiser will
are for Iowa temporarily.
Mr. Odell says farm laud associa
ions are forming in practically ev
ery section of this territory. He ro-
eived a letter yesterday from Seneca
where 30 farmers are affecting an
association which will ask for loans
o thp amount of $50,000.
From C. W. Pugsley, director of
agricultural extension at the Univer
sity of Nebraska, comes a letter as
serting that he has received 400 In
quiries from farmers in tho state per
taining to the methods to bo employ
ed In organizing associations.

TOPS HOG MARKEI
Not An Accident but Natural Coiiho-
quiM'e in the Development of a
til-cat mid Growing Country
Not for the first time but again,
western Nebraska hogs top tho mat-
ket at South Omaha. They used to
say this wasn't a hog country but
then they used to say so many
things about this part of the Btate
that later developments proved to be
Incorrect. Except for the fact that
the production of corn is yet below
the demand for home feeding, this is
ono of the best countries in the
world for raising hogs.
The South Omaha Daily Drovers
Journal-Stockman of March 5 con
tained the following:
B. F. Hobbick of Mlnataro Is on
the market this morning with a load
of hogs, seventy-eight head that
weighed 220 pounds at home. They
were pure bred Poland Chinas of his
own raising, and brought $13.80, top
price for the day, and a new record
price for the yards. They were fat
tened on corn, and were about nine
months old. Mr. Hobbick has had
between 500 and 600 head on feed
this winter, and he still has about
f00 to ship. Ho lias also 110 sows.
Scotts Bluff county has been on
Joying a pretty good winter this year.
It has been rather cold, but dry, and
the stock has wenthered It very well,
there having been very few losses.
Though there were a good many
more sheep than usual fed up that
way this year, they are being shipped
out pretty rapidly, Mr. Hobbick esti
mating that there are not more than
f0 per cent of them left on feed. Cat
tle are still plentiful in that section
and aro just being started on the
move.
Though Mr. Hobbick has lived In
that part of Nebraska only during
tho last seven years, he is an enthus
iastic booster for it, and believes that
the country has a great future before
it. He says that the growth of
some of the towns out thero Is al
most unbelievable, and their growth
seems destined to go on. Before he
moved there, Mr. Hobbick lived in
this part of tho country, a good part
of his life having been spent on the
ground on which tho Yards now
stand. He can remember the time
when th hog yards were but a col
lection of sheds, and the highest
block number they h.id In the yards
was number 9. He was a dealer
here at the Yards for a good many
years, and said today that It seemed
like coming home to be back in the
old territory. He will bo on tho mar
ket again either in May or June with
about 160 head of cattle that ho has
on feed.

How to make an Inventory of the

in No. 41. "The Farm Inventory,"
Just issued by the Agricultural Ex
tension Service of the University of
Nebraska, Lincoln. Blank forms for
use during a four-year period are
Included in the bulletin, which may
be had free upon application to the
Extension Service.
Reasons why the farmer finds the
keeping of farm records advisable
are summed up as follows by the
farm management department of the
university: (1) it provides a means
of studying the farm business; (2)
it often settles disputes, that is, if
questions arise in dealing with oth
ers. the man who has kept records Is
best able to make his claims stand;
and (3) carefully-kept records Im
prove credit.

Long Distance
Telephone Service
Means a Clear Track for Each Call
For each long distance call, we must set aside
an entire circuit made up of two wires.
Enough of these circuits must be built, oper
ated and kept in repair to provide service to
any point at any moment. For many hours each
day the wires are idle, but they must always be
ready for service should anyone want to use
them.
Telephone calls" cannot be hung on a hook
to be distributed out through several hours, as
operators may have time, or wires may be clear,
to send them. Every call must be handled, as
quickly as possible, because there is a party
ready to talk.
The large majority of long distance calls are
handled in a few hours during the busy part of
the day. The rest of the time an expensive
equipment is practically idle.
Only One Conversation On a Circuit
If a railroad company were forced to keep a
track clear from one end to the other for each
train and haul but onecar at a time on that
train, freight rates would be extremely hih.
Only one telephone message at a time can be
carried on the telephone track of two wires. For
every telephone call we must have a clear track
from one end to the other.
Many long distance lines carry very few
calls not enough to pay the cost of keeping the
wires in repair yet to give a universal service
these lines must be held ready for such calls as
our patrons want to send.
