Government Crop Report
A summary of the November Crop Report for Nebraska and the
United Slates has been compiled by UM Hureiui of Crop Kstlmates,
United State Department of Agriculture, and la given herewith. It
is interesting to note that a comparison of the potato figures with
the eatimatea made by the Potato Committee in Omaha laat May at
the big convention held by tin- State Conservation and Welfare Com
tnlsMon ptiowa that had it not been for the extremely dry weather
during the growing aeaaon In Nehraaka the potato yield would have
equaled or been better than the eatimate of the committee.
The committee's eatimate of the 1917 Nebraska potato crop was
14.473,439 husbela. The government report given below shows a
yield of 13.900,000 bushels.

IMPRESSIONS OF WAR
The Typographical Journal Publishes.
Following Letter In Printer's
Language, from soldier
The editor of the Toronto Weekly
Bun, an agricultural paper. sendB the
Journal a copy of a letter recently
received from a member of Typo
graphical Union No. 91, now fighting
to the world battle for democracy.
The letter follows:
Frnnce, September 6, 1917.
Dear Old Ilomb-Proofer As we go
to press the artillery Is pi-ing Fritz's
defenses, and, judging by the noise,
a good bit of the die. is going Into
the hell box. You can't see anything
for smoke and I ust . A year ago I
thought wo should have had the job
run off by this time, but all I enn do
Is give you ii few impressions.
I have had a very lucky streak
discomfort, we perhaps gain a couple
of points. In fact, you hear more
grousing when ihints are el their
best than hen we i re really la 41f
Acuity. Sometimes the uii.ti-:s
won't r i p . or the in'; ll too stiff, or
there is too much reducer, or the
stock is full of electricity. Occasion
ally the whole job Is oul ol register i
or the Russian halftone doesn't show
up, but ws keep on smiling and
working. I think we are nearly on
the kist form, and are going strong
on the make-ready. Rerensky't plate
mny have to be re-etched or changed
here. Seldom does any one hold
down a job In this shop for eighteen
monthB. That has been my good for
tune, and I have helped on a few of
the special editions the third battle
of Ypres, the Somme and Vimy
Ridge and only once, when I took
an impression too literally from a
whizz-bang, have I been sent to the
bank. I've dodged a lot of minion,
nonpareil, and all the way up to
forty-eight point bold face, and am
still live matter. But war certainly
knocks the serifs off a fellow's civil
ization. I don't suppose, though,
that there are not ways in which we
are improved by it. In resourceful
ness and cheerfulness in all kinds of
for v. new one from lokio, but we are 'riMtmoro-Mmuuii
'ion ng lor the best.
The next job will be our peace
Jubilee number, and will be pub
lished next year at the latest, in
, Toronto. The Yankee insert will only
; be a supplement to our war number.
It will be mostly color work; I don't
Sxpecl they will add much to tHe text
1 of the edition.
1 hope this will find you and your
"staff" In the best of health and spir
its. I am happy as a lark myself.
Drop mo a line whenever you get an
inspiration,, Your ol l pal,
F. L. HOLLINGSHEAD.
The Journal is informed that the
I writer of the foregoing has a wife
and six children in Canada, twins
, having been born shortly after he
left for the war front. In the days
before the war Mr. Hollingshead had
worked in Toronto and Winnipeg,
Where be was well and favorably
known among the printers.
That the Chalmers Motor Cur Com
pany was never bo linantiaiiy sound
and settled and is at this moment al
ready on the highway to a new and
greater era of successful production,
are the high-lights of a statement just
released by Lincoln Lowry, of Lowry
c Henry, Chalmers dealers for th
territory.
Mr. Lowry'B remarks were 'nspired
by the $200,000 challenge just issued
in the form of a national advertise
ment by the Maxwell management,
now controlling Chalmers produc
tion; and further continued In a per
sonal communication from T. J.
Toner, Chalmers sales director.
"The abuorplion of Chalmers con
trol by the Maxwell company," Mr.
Lowry explained, "is a mere matter
of finance. In no way has it retard
ed production or changed essentials
at the Chalmers plant. In financial
circles it is considered a remarkable
coupe, in the motor world it has been
bailed as a distinctive precedent that
will redound to the benefit of own
ers, dealers and both corporations in
volved. "Unfortunately, all such far-reaching
moves are accompanied by un
founded rumors and groundless pre
dictions. Some are well meaning
and others are deliberately malicious.
It has been said in certain quarters,
for instance, that have gone so far as
to predict the closing of the Chalmers
plant. Why, I have even heard such
reckless statements on local streets,
far removed as we are from Detroit,
the only source of accurate and offi
cial information.
"It is not the intention of the Chal
mers authorities to resort to argu
ment and discussion in the columns
of the press, but for fear that silence
at this time may create a wrong im
pression the final answer, now pub
lished, to all such ridiculous asser
tions, is not only assuring to the
skeptic but a stone wall to the tongue
of gossip and backed, if you please,
by two hundred thousand dollars.
"This security, posted In a state
ment over the signature of Walter
E. Flanders, the best evidence of
Maxwell intentions and Chalmers
plans for five years hence. There
are thirty automobile companies at
the present time making touring cars
and roadsters in the Chalmers class,
and it is with $200,000 worth of con
fidence that Mr. Flanders has set out
to out-produce fifteen of these makes
in 1918 and twenty of them the fol
lowing year."
Mr. Lowry then enumerated some
of the outstanding features of the
combine. The
'Maxwell Motor Co., Inc., Walter E.
Flanders, president, has taken a five
year lease on the plant and equip
ment of the Chalmers Motor Co.. and
the deal having been already consum
mated, Chalmers production is going
forward uninterrupted under the di
I reel control of the new administra
tion. Durine this five-year tenure it is
the intention of the Maxwell officials
'not only to retain all the character
istic qualities of the Chalmers car but
to 1 ..:vp undisturbed all established
policies, particularly as concerns the
organisation Of Chalmers dealers and
distributors, considered one of the
model developments of the automo
bile industry.
Chalmers produc tion Is to be push
ed with untiring effort and it is this
announced program of intensive man
ufacturing that most emphatically
answers any and all questions of
Chalmers stability.

A promising industry has been
started in Gage county through the
activity of the county agent. Early
in the season enough seed was put
out to plant 35 acres of cane and a
number of people were interested in
the establishment of a sorphum plant.
A tine quality of molasses is being
turned out and it is believed that
next year will see the can acreage
doubled.

AN ENGINE
YOU'LL NEVER FORGET
The great Chalmers engine, now featuring the cur
rent Chalmers car, arrived at a rare time in history.
With war on, and gasoline in use now as never
before, there has been one result evident probably to
most every man that drives a car the rapid decline in
the grade of gasoline.
Engineers never expect to see a high-grade gas again.
In the face of this condition now comes the great
Chalmers engine, which makes high power out of low
grade gas.
It makes "one drop of gas now do the work of two.'
It makes gasoline work as gasoline has neverworked
in an automobile engine before.
By means of an ingenious device known as a "hot
spot," the gas, after leaving the carburetor, is warmed
up (but not overheated) just before it enters the intake
manifold.
Then by means of another ingenious device known
as a "ram's-horn" manifold, it is skillfully passed on to
the engine combustion chamber.
The secret here is in what are known as "easy air
bends."
The result is that at the time when the gas is
touched off by the spark plug it is "cracked up" into a
perfect vapor for 100 results.
This device in particular is one of the most notable
achievements in automobile engineering in many years.
Not only do these improvements on the engine
create more power out of less gas, but they also make
possible a quick starting engine on a cold day.
When you step on the starter button in a current
Chalmers, you get results right off. And your engine
begins to run with midsummer smoothness no miss
ing cylinders no spitting no hesitating no backfire.
So noteworthy is this great Chalmers engine that
one is tempted to overlook other notable improve
ments and perfections in the current Chalmers.
They are numberless, and once evident to the eye
of a wise buyer, they win him.
To miss seeing the current Chalmers at our show
rooms is to miss the most recent and most talked-of
car of the day.
