Car Situation Very Acute
The matter of securing cars for the
shipment of grain from this, as well
as other elevators, is very acute at
this time. Trying as hard as they
can, the elevator men have been un
able to secure cars for shipment ejf
corn which they have in their eleva
tors, as well as that which they
would like to "receive from the farm
ers and which the farmers are very
anxious to deliver. Some of the far
mers have been hauling their crop
to Plattsmouth where, on account of
the repairing of the same, the cars
can be obtained and the. grain shov
eled into them. The situation Is los
ing money to the farmers, to the
shippers of Murray and making ?
very-stringent money market for the
community, as all of the proceeds
of last year is tied up in the crops
which it is wished to move.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Minnie
