Many Cattle and Hogs Being Fed North Nebraska’s Great Corn Crop— Prices Favorable. Battle Creek. Neb.. Nov. 20 (Spe cial).— Hess than half of the oOrft crop remains In the field of north Ne braska. Clear, sunny and calm wea ther has sent the farmers back to work hcrvestfng the crop. For sev eral weeks the snow and rain has made the fields muddy, but the dry ing process has begun and wagons can once more get through the fields. Higher prices for the corn is an in centive to get every ear Into the cribs. Very little or the coen Is being hauled to market at this time due to the bad condition of country roads all over North Nebraska. In many places the i oads have been almost Impassible and It is only at this time the road patrolmen are beginning to float the highways. Where this work has been done, automobile travel Is fairly convenient, hut where there has been a lack of dragging, trans portation conditions are miserable. This lias resulted in keeping consid erable grain from the smaller towns where the let-up in 'ho corn from the farm has come as ft lelief rather than a disadvantage. Kiev atom are “burnt - Ing full of grain due to the shortage of grain cars. In many places corn, oats and wheat are plied on ground exposed to the weather. This is caus ing some complaints from farmers who are anxious to market their pro ducts at present good prices. Livestock feeders are paying around 80 cents a bushel for corn, but few are venturing to buy in heavy supplies the feeling being gen eral that a slump In prices may be expected. Corn producers, however, believe corn prices will remain high because of the heavy feeding In rural communities and >he heavy demand for corn from the east. Feeder cattle by the thousands continue coming to north Nebraska from the west to be fattened. Along with heavy purchases of thin cattle, farmers and feeders are adding large numbers of stock pigs which add to tht outlet for the corn of this locality. The moisture has put alfalfa, rye and wlter wheat In fine shape. =t= MAKE PLATTE VALLEY INTO REAL GAME PRESERVE Fremont, Neb., Nov. 20 (Special).— The Fremont chamber of commerce and the Rotary and Kiwanas clubs are behind a move to turn the Platte valley Into a game preserve from Kearney to 1’lattsmouth. George Staats will Introduce a bill in the leg islature. It is claimed by sponsors of the move that ducka and geese have been nearly wiped out by hunters, whoso traps, lodges and decoys fair ly dot the stream through Nebras ka, Beauty of Mud Roads. From the Cedar Falls Record. One Cedar Falls couple sat 1n their car on the road all night long. At 8 o’clock Sunday morning they decided to take a chance by ^riving across a field. In some way they reached the little town of Solon and from there they man aged to drive through to Cedar Rapids, which city they reached In time to leave their cgr and catch the 10:30 Interurban for home. More than 20 slept In a haymow on one farm. Arch McParlane, of Waterloo, de serted his car when It went Into a ditch, rikI taking charge of a rescue s<iuad spent most of the night in helping others get over one particularly dangerous spot.

The foregoing is just a small portion of the story. The suffering, the damage caused to property, and the inconven ience In this one instance would more than offset the cost of paving the en tire highway between the two cities. It is difficult to realise that this thing occurred In a state that claims to be civilised, in a state where millions upon millions yearly are collected in automobile license fees for the perma nent Improvement of primary highways. This so-called highway between Cottar Rapids and Iowa City Is a death trap, nothing more or less. In dry weather It undoubtedly makes a splendid roadway but the slightest shower changes a smooth hard surface Into a soapy, slimy mess which defies navigation.

MAN YE NT ERTl STSTO MARRY INDIAN HEIRESS Muskogee.—Hundreds of fortune hunters from all parts of the world are seeking the hand of Exie Fife, 18, beautiful Creek Indian girl, whose oil lands are valued at $30,000,(100. Six months ago Exie's name was barely known to the postmaster of Fame, the little Indian village near here, where she gets her mail. Now the volume of the incoming corre spondence threatens to swamp the rural carrier. Each mail brings a fresh batch of proposals and scores of other letters, asking charity donations, etc. The self-alleged suitors mean noth ing in Exie’s young life, for she has her farmer boy, Burlin Jackson, 21, to whom she Is engaged. Burlin is not a fortune-hunter. The 30,000,000 is merely an incident in Jjjs romance with Exle, which started four years ago, before the girl even dreamed of ott or riches. Many of the applicants for the In dian girl’s hand would be interested, perhaps, to know what becomes of their photographs. Tacked on the wall of the cabin, they compjse a unique “gallery.” Exie's Indian friends gather before the ’‘gallery" and indulge in Creek wit. Exle was born in a one-room shack, tp which has been uddied three rooms. She was born a year £efore alloting of land to Indians ceased. She was alloted 160 acres in Creek county. Oil wus discovered upon her allotment six months ago. There are three produc ers and several more wells being drilled.

A commission from this country is how in Florida to determine how that garden spot ‘‘is run,” with a view of proceeding to Quintana Roo to lay out plans which will turn that secluded land into the public eye. Recent explorations in Quintana Roo have convinced the Mexican gov ernment that the deserted corner of the Yucatan peninsula has many of the same natural conditions as has Florida and that this section of the republic could he made so attractive as to induce colonists to establish and build up a land as beautiful and pro ductive as the American peninsula. * it is reported that the territory of Quintana Roo is to be made into federal reserve lands. In France this year the dumber of births fell 70,000 below last year. In Germany the number of births in ti eases. In a short time Germany will have five times the population of France.

THEN BRITAIN WOULD COME IN, HE SAYS '‘Tiger of France” In Impas sioned Plea at New York Luncheon Begs for Ameri can-French Understanding. BY GENE FOWLER. Universal Service Correspondent. New York, Nov. 20.—Georges* Clemenceau, declaring he was here to "speak a word in time" to forestall a desparate situation, today said that Frunce wanted the United States to execute America’s aims. The “Tiger” pictured the Unite* States as "having stopped with the* armistice.” He added that a very grave situa tion 1b comipg. Speaking, he explained, not na ark official representative of the French government, and entreating his audi tors to remember that he knows* nothing about conditions in the Lfnlted States, the aged statesman, recalled the days of international un preparedness beginning with 1914, He went on. "Sometimes it seems we are not: prepared now.” 8peaks at Luncheon. Clemenceau's address was de livered at a private luncheon at the* Ritz Carlton hotel. He had require* that anything he had to say would be regarded as a confidence, not wish ing to sound the keynote of his mis sion before his public address orv Tuesday evening at the Metropolitan* opera house. In the evening, however, persona* close to the "Tiger” of France com mented on his speech at the Ritx Carlton. Newspaper reporters upon* whom no real of silence had been, placed, received the gist of his com ment from an authoritative source. When Clemenceau was informed of this, he authorized the release of a. brief summary of his speech. Clemenceau told the luncheon guests that what he is here for Is to tell what he thinks of the European* crisis and he Is not prepared to sug gest fiduciary arrangements, includ ing the question of International ob ligations. That, he went on, is a thing: for financial people to settle. In an Impassioned plea he asked that the United States and France "get together” in "our own way” and then England would follow suit. If the United States would take cog nizance of the situation, it was the* opinion expressed by Clemenceau that England would join. It was here* that he asked that America carry out her war alms. What Is happening in Europe wilR form the principal topic of his lec tures In this country. It was indi cated. Clemenceau added that he will study what is going on in Amer ica and will report when he return* home. The French visitor had been ad vised to speak for 16 minutes, so hl» voice and strength might not be taxed too heavily. He became so deeply stirred, however, that he spoke for 62 minutes. At the close of the luncheon formalities, Clemenceau, who earlier in the day had undergone a medical examination, was forced to* retire to the home of Charles Dana, Gibson, where he lay down for ai» hour and a half. Believes America Misled. Yesterday was the first time that Cleinenceau came out of his shell of silence on International questions. From an authoritative source the* New York American learned yester day that Clemenceau charged that the American people have been mis led on true conditions in Europe. Certain of Clemenceau’s visitor* have Implied that complications’ might arise from too drastic remarks’ on his part, and It Is indicated that, the "Tiger” will begin roaring tomor row night at the Metropolitan opera house. That he will have a lot to say Is admitted by those who reveale* that he has been preparing notes irx the dead of night for his Metropoltaix address. Although he has slept more soundly than is usual for him, the "Tiger” has been rising at 4 o’clock, some times earlier, clad in a long flannel night gown and a gray night cap and car pet slippers. Then he has poured over' volumes prepared by Roosevelt, Wil son and others. Only occasionally does he turn to Balzac or other French novelists to give his mind a rest.
