Tho unusual situation is due to a ch-ire on the part of the farmers to save their corn. The experts say that if the feedlots are to be mostly vac ant, corn prices will drop for lack of buyers. Cash corn is now over a dollar on the Omaha market, and a lot of hog feeders have concluded there is no money in the business when hogs bring only about eight times as much pr hu-.;lrd as a bushel of corn costs. They contend that the ratio ought to be thirteen to one to make feeding profitable. They prefer selling corn to feeding it. as a matter of profit. This has resulted in a lot of hog., wi ighing around 200 pounds beinp ;. arketed. Thre is no money ill that, as it represents only a few weeks of intern ive feeding. Minnesota reports that the corn crop is deteriorating, being late and chaffy in most cases. Iowa reports bushing In full swing and proceeding rapidly. Xew corn is beginning to be marketed and is grading 4 and 5. Under favorable weather conditions hogging off and gr-'zing of corn has proceeded With a minimum loss. This practice is unusually popular this year. There arc reports that, due to thr low feeding value of corn, many farmers have already exhaust ed their supply. .Missouri reports tlat torn gathering has only well i gun. A nrich larger proportion of th' crop than expeeted is now ready and can be cribbed. Seed corn will be sufficient for general state needs ani will not need to be bhippeH in from outside. In South Dakota the supply of seed corn is sufficient if properly cared for. In Nebraska bushing is well advanced in the southern part of the state with yield and quality meeting expectations. Kansas reports husking general with s,tuc movement in carlo ta and some cribbed. MiSSOURi ON TOP OF VALLEY PILE Tigers Trim Jayhawkers in the Final Game of the Season Defeated Only by Nebraska. Kanms Cfty, Hfo.f Nov. 27. The University of Missouri today emerged from its annual clash with Kansas with the laurels or the Missouri valley conference the mythical val ley championship. Pounding the Jayhawker line for two touchdowns in the third period, the Tigers garnered the only scores of the game that meant for jthem the leadership of the confer ence, a place behind Nebraska, the only tram that defeated them this season.

LIST CF OFFICE HUNTERS GROWS W. W. Cole of Neligh latest Appli cant for Chief Game Warden or the State. Governor-elect McMullen's front yard at Beatrice will have to be re sodded soon, in consequence of the grass being trampled out by throng:; of office-seekers congregating there while waiting their turns to inter view him. according to the report brought to Lincoln by a man who was at the McMullen home Tues day. There must have been 150 to 200 swarmTng around the house at one time," said this man. "And in addi tion to those who are trying to see the new governor personally, he has piles of letters stacked up whit h would take him a month to answer if be attended to all of them him self." Three weeks have passed since election, and still no announcement has come from Governor-elect Mc Mullen as to a single appointment. Meanwhile, the number of candi dates and applications for jobs is in creasing day by day. After Game Warden's Place. W. W. Cole of Neligh, former member of the legislature, is ask ing to be given the position of chief gmo warden, held for th" last eight yea IB by George Koster. under three successive administrations. Cole has some very influential republican leaders behind him. including mem bers of the state committee, various county cha:rman. state senators and representatives, and others. This is the same office which Buck Taylcr of Lincoln, is said to be after. The salary is $3,000. A new entry for state agriculture secretary is Georre C.

Mayer of BeaVrice. and a few others. It is believed by some republicans close to Governnr-rlect HfcMullefl that he would name Dwight S. Dal bey of Beatrice, former speaker of the house, as head of the agricul ture department if he could get the httfeV to take the place. Dalboy orWns a number of farms in Gage county and has always taken a strong interest in agricultural mat-tors-. New Control Board Asp-rant. The list of candidates for the board of control to succeed Chair m :n A. E. Allen, who expects to re tire at the close of his term. June 30. has been increased by the ad dition of Roy Becker, a traveling salesman, who resides at Battle Creek; Others anxious to land the $4,000 job are Lieutenant Governor Fred Johnson of Hastings, T. E. Williams of Auburn, and H. L. Hai per of Beatrice. There is still some expectation that Marcus Poteet of Lincoln may be the n,3w governor's private secre tary, to serve- at least during the : "illative session. Poteet's friends . v he would not care to serve per manently in that position for the :?.640 salary, but that he would be -.. iilinc to help M-Mullen get started. FEEDING STOCK PcJtcr Than Do ar Corn Cannot Be Fed Profitably to $9 Hogs, So Farmers Sell Both. Nebraska farmers and hog raisers are much concerned because of the disparity in prices of corn and hogs. With corn ranging around $1.00 and hogs between $S and $9 on th- Oma ha markets, many farmers are get tiiisr rid of their hogs as rapidly as possible and putting their corn on the marke'. An auto traveler who m in from the west on Monday r ports that lie passed fifteen loads of corn on the way to market be tween Harvard and Grafton. In 1919. on this date, corn was quoted at f 1.35 Ti 1.43 ; wheat. $2.32 02.5S- hogs. $12(312.95. In 1920 corn was 62 ? 67 cents; hogs, $9.25 (7f9.75; wheat. $l.K01i 1.57. Tn 1920 hogs brought a better price than now and corn was an av erage of 40 cents less per bushel. In 191'J hogs broi aht about $4 more than .now and torn about 30 to 35 cents more. Farmers say that if the hog raiser broke ven in 1919 he made money in 1920 and is losing a lot of it now if he is feeding his corn to his hogs. The result is that many farmers are selling theii- hogs before fatten ing and some are even disposing of their breeding stock. One farmer who is keeping li is broo l sows sees no hope in the immediate future for th.' hog raiser but he is keeping in position to re-enter it when the prices are better. DE VALERA RELEASED FROM ULSTER PRISON Belfast, Ireland, Nov. 2S. Eam onn De Valera, the republican leader, who on November 1 was sentenced to one month's imprisonment after enering Ulster territory in defiance 'of a warning from the authorities, was released at 6 o'clock Friday moraing. He was placed on a train for Dublin and escorted to the border. JUDGES URGE DRY UNIT TRANSFER TO ! JUSTICE RANCH Federal Jurists Believe the Change would Eliminate Prosecution of Trivial Liquor Cases. Washington. Nov. 26th. Bodily transfer of the prohibition unit from the Treasury department to the De partment of Justice is among the recommendations adopted by the ju dicial conference of senior circuit judges it became known today when Chief Justice Taft, as chairman of the conference, addressed a letter to Attorney General Stone, transmitting a request that he embody the pro posal in his annual report to con gress. The senior circuit judges, familiar with court conditions and reflecting the opinion of federal district judges, take the position that the transfer should be made at once. Basing their recommendation on abundant ex perience with prosecutions arising under the prohibition law. the JtMgea' with Chief Justice Taft concurring, declare that such a transfer "would make much for effectiveness In en forcing the law." Drop Trivial Cases In the statement which they ask to have transmitted to congress the judges asserted that "all the appro priations for such enforcement should be expended under the direc tion of the attorney general." In that way, they said, "the attempted itrosecution of trivial, futile and un important cases which now crowd the dockets through the ill-advised zeal and practical ignorance of pro hibition agents can be avoided, and only those cases taken up and press ed which will really deter the prin cipal offenders and in the prepara tion of which district attorneys will have a personal responsibility. Renewing their recommendation for the addition of two new circuit judges in tho eighth circuit, two new district judges in the southern district of New York and a new dis trict judge in the northern district of Georgia, the conference at the same time urged the creation of a new district judge in the western district of New York and an addi tional district judge for Maryland. The conference also has recom mer.de 1 that the bankruptcy statute bo amended so that all judgments, decrees, orders and proceedings in bankruptcy shall be reviewed by ap peal only and then only when the appeal is speedily taken. SOUTH AND EAST . Ticulty in Plowing and Planting Indicates Lessened Acreage of Wheat Eas Been Sown. The excellent weather conditions that have prevailed until the last few days, according to the govern ment report on the farm situation, was very favorable for farm opera tions with the exception that a con dition of drouth has prevailed of late in large areas of the east and south. This condition has made ! plowing and seeding quite backward in numerous localities. Recent rains have broken the drouth in some sections but large , areas are still affected. Corn husk ing is rapidly nearing the end. The : warm late fall and lack of rain have greatly helped the drying out of the1 grain and resulted in much less soft. J bafty corn than had been expected. BUIo ui me ci up lias ut-fii ira gi wu and hogged off than in a usual year. The seeding of rail sown grains is somewhat backward due to la-k of moisture in tho soil and dry hard baked ground and in some instances io excessive rainfall. The acreage of winter wheat may not be as large as expected. Late potatoes are still being dug ii.. . i i . . . i ....... I in tfome areas. The quality is gen erally good and yields have mostly been high. Considerable rotting due to blight, has been reported. Livestock is generally in good con dition and supplies of feeds are suf- ! ficient as a rule for the winter, al though in some sections feeds are 'short and the farmers are reducing the numbers of cattle and hogs quite j decidedly. j Except in drouth affected sec tions pastures and ranges are hold-i ing up unusually well for the season! :of the year. Fields of fall grain are affording good pasture in the south west. In Minnesota the weather has been favorable for fall plowing and .other farm work. Warm, dry, windy weather has prevailed in Iowa and rain is now needed. Missouri has had : temperatures above normal with the J drouth conditions relieved of late by; general showers.. Weather conditions: have been fair in North Dakota with practically no precipitation and farm work has progressed unhamper ed. Some snow in the north. South Dakota also reports some snow and temperatures average about normal, j Plowing is somewhat backward. In Kansas the weather has continued dry with some local showers. Mois ture need is urgent in about fifteen north centra! counties. While the weather has been ex cellent for fall plowing in Minne sota the reports indicate a decrease in the rye acreage and an increase! in winter wheat seeded. Grain mar ketinsa still continue heavy. Some j winter wheat was seeded in western Iowa the first part of the month, but dry weather and some freezes are! preventing germination. In Missouri Wheat seeding continued into Novem-t ber. The crop has tome up to a ' good stand and with the pesentj moisture 6hculd go into the winter-' in good condition.

Now Robinson knew that he wanted a ship, and he put up an ad for one. He hun up a shirt on a pole at the top of his island, and that in the language of the sea, was plain to every seafar ing man. The circulation was small (there was no other medium) but Crusoe kept at it persistently, despite the fact that one garment after another frayed out, and in the end he got what he wanted. But had he taken down the signal af ter a time and declared "advertising doesn't pay," where would Robinson Crusoe and hi3 history be to-day? early sown crop. North Dakota re ports the weather as most favorable for winter rye, which has rooted well and made splendid growth. It is now in splendid condition to go through the winter. Winter wheat and rye are reported as showing up well in South Dakota. Nebraska re ports winter wheat as suffering se verely by drouth in the southeast ern quarter of the state, but in ex cellent condition in other sections. Wheat has made splendid progr M in Kansas in all except the north central district. Growth has been too heavy, however in south central and northwestern counties. Some soft wheat jointed in these sections during the first half of the month. Weather has been so mild and favor able that volunteer barley has head ed out. Hessian fly damage has been quite severe in the early sown and volunteer wheat in most of the east ern two-thirds of the state. In the north central district wheat is very spotted and poor with only about half of the seed germinating. BEGINS DESIGN OF BLIMP TWICE AS BIG AS ZR-3 Akron. O.. Nov. 25.

The desire to prot.tt the British bridegroom's pocket from too many financial in roads, which it was contended mii;ht prove a serious deterrent to raarraigc already affected by unemployment and the housing shortagt led the clergy today to reject a proposal re quiring men as well as women to wear wedding rings. The question, arose during discis sion of the revision of the marriage service which earlier had been al tered so as to eliminate the time-honored word "obey" from thf bride's response in one of the two passages in which it OCCUres in the ritual, al though it was permitted to remain in the other. The revised ritual, which must be finally accepted by the house of bishops, and the house of laymen, now reads in the section where both respond "love, cherish and sevre," substituting "serve" for "obey." The bride, however, cannot escape entirely from the word which the feminists so tirelessly oppose, for she must reply "yes" when asked if she will "take this man to he thy wedded husband; wilt thou obev and serve him?" The proposal for the double ring ceremony aroused a heated discus sion in which many arguments, eccle siastical and practical, were pres ented but tbe opponents had the final say and the motion was rejected.
