Among the posslblo successors to
Presldont Mohler, of the Union Pa
cific, the Omaha Boa mentions W. L.
Park, now vice-president of tho Hllti
oIb Central. It .would certainly be
fitting that Mr. Park bscomo presi
dent of tho Union Pacific, for It was
with this great trans-continontnl line
(hat ho began his career as a frolght
brakefiian, nnd ascending thttough
tho various" positions to that of goner
al 8uporlnlendon.t which ho resigned
to go with tho Illinois Contral. It
would not be unreasonable to surmlso
that Mr. Park might havo a deslro to
becomo tho active head of the gront
road which ho once served as brake
man, thus covering positions at both
ends, an ascendancy any man, no
matter how influential, might well
fool proud.
Certainly) .tho people of North
Platto, and particularly his old-tlmo
trloiulR, would bo henrtlly glad to
havo him named as the successor to
Mr. Mohler.

A (J rent Combination.
Hogs, Corn, Tankage, and Money.
But you will not got nil tho money
from your hogs unless you use tank
age. Read tho following from a firm
you all know:
North Platte, Neb., May 18, 1910.
Mr. R. N. Lamb, City,
Dear Sir:
Believing that tankago to be good
food for hogs, last fall wo purchased
somo from you to feed a bunch of "hogs.
Tho corn wo wero feeding them was
exceedingly poor, very soft nnd chaffy
and not marketable.
Wo fed this soft corn with cround
wheat of a poor quality, too poor for
market purposes, along with tho tank
age of about a quarter pound per head
ner dnv.
May state that tho gain oh those
hogs was remarkable and far nbovo
our expectations. Thoy made us big
monoy, and realized us a good prlco
for our poor grade of corn, which was
unmarketable and we feel that by us
ing tho tankage as we did tho gain was
a great deal lurger than it would have
been without It, and wo aro well paid
for our investment in tankage.
lours very truly,
BRATT & GOODMAN,
By E. R. Goodman.
Most experimental farms ,wlll tell
you that It will pay to feed Tankage
to pigs from tho time they are weaned
until they go on tho market, why not
get an the money from your hous.
