Shortly i arter the civil war came were iraueu , out of Texas to railroad points and held at the larger Industrial centers waiting killing by the local butch ers. The Atlantic coast seiners, ai this time, through the farmers and planters killed and packed their own produce In a crude way and took It to market. In those days It was the practice to take slock to market and have It killed by the local butchers or men who made a specialty of that business In exchange for supplies. As the Ohio valley settled the pro duction of corn greatly stimulated the live stock Industry. The first stock was driven over the Appalach ian mountains to the eastern cities, but soon meat packing plants were established on the prairies and by 1820 Cincinnati surpassed Boston and othereastern cities as a market for cattle and hogs. I 1850 Ohio and Indiana packed over one-half the provisions In the country. The result of this early activity has resulted In Nebraska shipping to day to the following points: Denver, Kansas City, St. Joseph, Chicago, Omaha and Sioux City. In 1868 refrigerator cars revolu tionized the cattle Industry. Rapid settlement of the west at the close of the civil war supplied ample live stock for the meat packing Industry. Today there are ' fifty centralized stock yards. A much larger num ber of animals pass through these markets each year than are slaugh tered by packing houses because many of them are bought as feeders and stockers. While there are fifty centralized markets for live stock more than 69 per cent of the total number of ani mals' so marketed pass through the following twelve markets: Chicago, Omaha, Kansas City, St. Louis, St. Joseph, St. Paui, New York, Fort Wortk. Sioux City, Oklahoma City, Denver and Wichita. Of the total stock yard receipts more than 52 per cent of the cattle, 43 per cent of the hogs and 61 per cent of the sheep are received at the Chicago, Omaha, Kansas City and St." Louis markets. Chicago alone re ceived 19 per cent of the cattle, 21 per cent of the hogs and 22 per cent of the sheep which pass through the fifty centralized stock yard markets. An Intensive study of centralized markets indicates the receipts come from the territory immediately sur rounding it! A study of the map will indicate Alliance is the one log ical point for commercial yards and a packing ouse. .his product. Ills customers know he I can be depended on, know they are In good hands.

Ralph W. Ransom was the first ing office by signing up for a course to start the week off at the recrult in wireless telegraphy at the signal corps school at Camp Vail, N. J. Ransome has had some experience in the electrical world, but had not settled on any one branch. He ex pects to start bis theoretical work about the first of the month and by the Fourth of July he will have fin ished his laboratory training and will begin the practical end of the busi ness, lie will receive in detail the construction, maintenance and oper ation of the wireless Instruments as well as a course in typing which will enable him to receive on the machine. The opportunity of enroll ing in the signal corps school will be closed about the fifteenth of De cember, and not wishing to let this slip by, Ransom finished his business in Greeley hastily In order that he would be sure of being admitted. The recruiting office is in re ceipt of a bulleting from Washing ton stating that 253 railroad men are needed in France to operate ti e roads over there. The bulletin states that a man wishing to be sent t othis branch must produce con clusive evidence that he is qualified as one of the following: Dispatcher, locomotive engineer, conductor, yard- master, telegraph operator, boiler- maker, pipe man, switchman, round house foreman, brakeman, station agent, machinist or tower man. Ap plicants accepted under this author ity will be sent directly to Camp A. A. Humphrey, Va. It should be gen erally understood that former mil ltary service will not be required, thus giving a man so qualified an op portunity to see France for one year and still work at his own trade. In formation may be had by applying at the recruiting office at 101 Box Butte avenue. SOME WAYS SOMH PEOPLE GET SOME BUSINESS "I can give you much better serv ice at the same price." (The better service should be worth more money.) "Smith is doing you a mighty poor Job; I can do it better." "Jones can't handle that Job; you'd better give it to me." "My price is $5.00 cheaper than Compets." (He gets the Job and substitutes an Inferior grade of stock.) "I used to be foreman at Blank's. I am the man who was responsible for you getting good work and serv ice; besides I can make you a better price." How much better Is the rating of he who has really something to sell. The man who builds up a regular clientele by anticipating their wants I and by giving them service.

They look well enough, but the metal isn't there the strong, durable Vana dium steel that goes into the Ford chnssis and every Ford part. Ford parts are specially case and heat-treated, each according to its use. Some require a hard, flint-like wearing Burfacc, others need rcsilcncy, and some need just "toughness." , Ford metallurgists have been studying those problems for sixteen years and know just ow each unit should be made to endure a maximum of wear and tear. They know that best results can be obtained only by the use of special formulas for different parts, and that honest Ford parts wear from thirty-five to one hundred per'cent longer than counterfeits. Ve carry complete assortments of genuine Ford parts for both passenger cars and trucks. And our garages are equipped to give careful, prompt Ford RPrvice from minor adjustments to complete overhauls. Drive in, it s better to be safe than sorry. Come to the Authorized Ford dealers for service.
