GOVERNMENT RE
PORT SHOWS AN IN
CREASE IN SHEEP
Number in Nebraska Shows Increase
Over Last Year Marketing is
Brisk Over the Country.
Nebraska had 697,000 lambs and
shiep on feed, Jan. 1 aa compared to
762,000 head December 1 and 556,-
000 head a year ago, according to
estimates released today by A. E. An
derson of the division of crop and
live stock estimates. Nebraska mar
keted 145,000 fat lambs and sheep
during December and received 60,000
at feeding station In addition to
those driven to feed lots at Omaha
The report for all states show a 30
per cent increase over January 1
1922, due largely to a 40 per cent
Increase in western irrigated sec
tions. Since the supply on feed dur
ing the first four months of 1922
was. greatly under that of 1921, the
present supply is not expected to
vary much from that of 1921.
The two principal feeding areas of
the country are the corn belt states
and the western irrigated region
There is an increase of 40 per cent
in the number of sheep and lambs
on feed in the latter over Jan. 1,
1921. For the corn belt states, the
area west of the Mississippi river, is
c-stimated at 11 per cent above Jan
uary 1, 1922, and the area east at
14 per cent, as compared to an in
crease of 10 per cent on December 1,
1322, above December 1, 1921, for
both areas. Of the corn belt states.
Illinois shows the largest increase
over January 1, 1922, being 30 per
cent; Nebraska, 25 per cent; Michi
gan and Wisconsin, 20 per cent.
In the western irrigated region,
Colorado shows an additional in
crease due to the continued in move
ment of feeders during December.
Colorado had 1,500,000 sheep and
lambs on feed, January 1, 1923, com
pared to 1,000,000 a year ago. They
are distributed as follows: 1,175,-
000 in northern Colorado, 275,000 in
the Arkansas valley and 50,000 in
the San Luis valley. While fat stock
has been moving freely from Utah,
theer appears to be nearl twice as
many on feed as a year ago. Idaho
is estimated as having 15 per cent
more than on January 1, 1922, with
Pcf-ific coast buyers seeking supplies
there.
A total of 145,000 fat sheep and
lambs weer marketed from Nebraska
during December as compared to
121,000 a year ago. During the same
period 60,000 sheep and lambs were
shipped into feeding stations as com
pared to 46,000 the previous Decem
ber, in addition to those driven out
from Omaha to feed lots. The num
ber of sheep and lambs in Nebraska
feeds lots -on January 1 was ds fo'l
lows: SeottsblufT section, 150,000,
compared to 110,000 a year ago;
Platte valley, 280,000; Douglas
county, 70.000; Humboldt, Neb.,
30,000 and 29,000 a year ago; other
sections not included above, 167,000.
According to expressed intentions
of corn belt feeders, 45 per cent of
the number on hand, January 1 will
be marketed during that month, 23
per cent in February and the bal
ance in March or later. The move
ment out of the irrigated region
while starting in January, will not
be in large volume before February
1 and, as most western feeders have
eonfidence in the future market, it
is thought the supply wil move in
fairly orderly volume.
Altho present estimates indicate a
large increase over January 1, 1922,
attention is called to the fact that
sheep and lamb feeding was on a
much restricted scale a year ago, due
to unprofitable outcome of the previ
ous year's operatfbns and to the fi
nancial situation which made the se
curing of funds difficult. Present in
e'ications are that the supply of fin
ished stock during the first four
months of 1923 will approximate
that of the same period in 1921. Fur
thermore, economic conditions are
better, and as the ability of the con-
sumer to buy is often as important
a factor in future prices as the sup
ply, this should also receive due con
side-ration.
FEENCH HEAR THEY ARE FAC

i
Dortmund. Jan. 16. French gen
eral headquarters has information
that 25.000 men of the German
reichwehr are concentrated south of
Muenstcr. less than twenty-five miles
north of Luenen, to the north of
Dortmund. The French have advanc
ed to both Dortmund and Luenen,
and the outposts of the French and
t.erman forces at some points are
only from eight to ten miles apart.
The French by advancing to Dort
mund and Luenen, passed out of the
neutral zone fixed by the Versailles
treaty on the right bank of the
Rhine, from which German regular
troops are barred, into the territory
wnere tne reicdwsnr holds sway.
The French are continuing to send
up reserve's which are taking up po
sitions behind the river Lippe.
The occupation of the Ruhr basin
is now complete, and the French de
clare that not a single pound of coal
can get out of the Ruhr into the un
occupied territory without their
checking it up for the coal tax.

TRUTH TRIUMPHS
DUWrn.m.it r.'f,v... t 4Va
Public Eeneht.
A truthful statement of a Platts
mouth citizen, given in his own
words, should convince the most
skeptical about the merits of Doan's
Kidney Pills. If you suffer from
backache, nervousness, sleeplessness,
urinary disorders or any form of
kidney ills, use a tested kidney medi
cine. A Plattsmouth citizen tells of
Doan's Kidney Pills.
Could you demand more convinc
ing proof of merit?
Wm. Hassler, proprietor of black
smith shop, corner Fifth and Oak
streets, says: "I know the straining
work that I have had to do most of
my life as a blacksmith is what
caused my back to weaken. Many
times I have been down shoeing a
horse when a sharp stitch would
take me through my kidneys and
hurt severely. My back was stiff
and lame at times. I started to use
Doan's Kidney Pills and they soon
corrected the trouble and made my
back strong again. About two boxes
of Doan's bought at Weyrich & Had-
raba s drug store, was all that I
nad to use- I csm work every day
now and give Doan's the credit for
my good condition. I always keep
Doan's on hand and take them occa
sionally to keep my kidneys well and
they never fail."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy get
Doan's Kidney Pills the same that
Mr. Hassler had. Foster-Milburn

A TRIBUTE
A sincere tribute to Mrs. A. H.
Knee, my friend of many years, from
Mrs. C. E. Wescott, L03 Angeles.
I know not where in the glory
world her spirit was borne by angel
bands. But this I know. Her soul is
freed from earthly limitations and
the sorrows and sufferings which
marked her pathway along the jour
ney of this life will never be her por
tion in the life upon which she has
entered. In the years of my acquain
tanceship and friendship with Mrs.
Knee 6he was faithful and loyal to
the interests . of the church and
whenever her health permitted she
was attendant upon the means of
which resulted from the actor's col
lapse when he endeavored to break
off the use of narcotics.
Rcid, who was six feet tall and
whose normal weight was la
pounds, lost sixty pounds before the
end came. Up to about a week ago
ily made public the cause of h'U
breakdown, Mrs. Reid declaring she
believed the information migh aid
in arousing the American people to
the necessity of suppressing the nar
cotic traffic. ....
Reid was born in St. Louis in isl
and was educatefl in New York. His
stage career began in vaudeville
with his father in "The Girl and
The Ranger," and later he entered
the motion pictures in the early days
of this industry, associating with
Selig, Vitagraph and Universal.
His entrance was as a general
utility man and he wrote, acted and
directed. He was later employed by
D. W. Griffith in the production of
"The Birth of a Nation," and entered
the Lasky employment in Geraldine
Farrar's "Carmen."
His ascendency in the motion pic-

tures was rapid and he became one
of the best liked actors in Holly
wood and New York.
Reid was remarkably versatile.
He was a deep student and, lover of
books. lie was deeply interested in
chemistry and psychology and was
an accomplished musician, the vio
lin vind stringed instruments s- well
as the saxoplione ranking among his
favored interpretative instruments.
He was married to Dorothy Daven

he met years ago when she was star

an assistant director and utility man.
They had one child and adopted a
second.
grace. She had an ,unusual Insight
into the word of God, especially the
prophecies from which she often
quoted. Truly the bible was a' "lamp
to her feet and a light to her path
way." As a member of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union, Mrs.
Knee, when able, was always In her
place ready to work, but she felt
keenly her inabiity to help in many
ways. Her eagerness and whole
harted devotion to the cause was ever
an inspiration to others. She was
especially interested In the Loyal
Temperance Legion and it was a glad
day when she saw the nassinsr nf th
saloons and the open doors of temp
tation closed to the youtli of Platts-
mouin. siy friend nosspssed a- re
markable memory and her friends en
joyed her company because of her
cheerfulness and her. quick sense of
humor. She dearly loved her frion 1 j
and her mother love was continual- .
iy maniiested m her unselfish devo
tion to ner children and granlchild
ren. They will miss her: w win
miss her, but she will not be forgot-
It'll.
It may truly be eaid of Mrs. Knco
she hath done what she could" and
now "hath entered int
which remaineth for the. nonr.iQ r
God."
