whistle will bo. given each time one
half hour before water is shut off so
that consumers may draw sufficient

as for as short a time as possible.
Any one having n hot fire in tho range

Ford Assembling Plant at Denver.
Chas. Hendy, Jr.. general agent for
the Ford Motor Co., at Denver, who is
now traveling ovor Nebraska inspect
ing all Ford agencies, and placing more
for 1913 whore they are needed, is or
dered to be in Denver Thursday, Aug
15th, to mpet Mr. CouBins, secretary
of tho Ford Motor Co., who has the
plans for a largo assembling plant in
that city and purahase a site for same.
This means that all Ford doalers east
of tho Missouri river will mako ship
ment from Denver, making deliveries
much more quickly than heretofore.
This should make people see that the
rumor that John D. Rockefeller had
purchased the Ford factory or that tho
Ford would not be sold through agents
in 1913 is incorrect and without foundation.

The Cattle Famine.
The scarcity of cattle has thoroughly
alarmed tho officers of tho South Omaha
Live Stock company and also the pack
ers, and a few days ago the manager
for the Cudahys said thoy might be
compelled to close their cattlej killing
houses entirely. He pictured a very
pessimistic picture of the future if the
farmers did not pay more attention the
production of cattle.
General Manager Buckingham of the
stock yards also talked in severe terms
of tho beef shortage, of its consequences
to trade and labor and of possible nieans
of correcting the evil. Ho advocates
tho' passage of laws prohibiting the
saje of cows and hoifors and providing
a.penalty for it for a number of years.
He criticises tho public, which he holds
responsible for some"of the shortage.
He says the public demands veal and
will have nothing else for months lot a
time, and says the country needs a
lesson or two in the matter of conversation.
Price Record Smashed.
All local previous high records for
beef cattle sales were smashed at South
Omaha yesterday when a shipment
of forty-six steers from tho farm of
J. Thorman, Elgin, Neb., wns sold
by J. M. Cook of theJ'.Great Western
Cummission comnanv at IS10.00 ner
hundred, or 35 cents a hundred more
than the previous top price.
The record herd was made up of histh
grade Durhams and has been on full
pasture for the last ten months. They
tipped the scales as three and 4-vear
olds at an average of 1.5C9 pounds each,
costing the packing company $15G.G0 a
head or a total of $7,217 for tho forty-six.

southern witness and a lawyer. Some
matter of boundary was In question,
and n certain witness, nnlmnted with n
lnudablo desire to mako things smooth,
turned to tho Judgo with tho confiden
tial remark:
"You see, your honor, that there house
always was cattawampus."
"What did tho witness say?" nsltcd
tho lenrned Judge, not quite ccrtnln
(lint he had beard aright.
Whereupon n smart young lawyer
Jumped up and explained with a pat
ionizing nlr. half for the Judge who
couldn't understand plain English, half
for tho Ignorant witness who couldn't
clioo.so mora ologant languago:
"Your honor, tho witness said catta
wampus, but what ho meant to signify
was that tho house was built snatch
wise." St Louis rost-Dlspatcli.
