They Will Pay the Bills!
Give the Pigs and Chickens an opportunity and they will pay
the bills. As they are the best paying proposition on the farm today,
you should by all means provide them with houses that will protect
them and enable them to work even more efficiently for you.
See us for Individual Hog Houses and for Brooder Houses
for the chickens. We can show you how you can have the best in
this line for your flock and herd at a very moderate cost.
We have the plans from which you can construct these your
self at a great saving over having to hire the work done.

Plan to Clean
Up Lots Where
Taxes are Back
County to List Property in Cities
and Villages for Lump Auction
and Clean Up.
From Wednesday's Dally
There are in the cities of Platts
mouth and Weeping Water as well
as several of the smaller places over
Cass countty, a large number of lots
and small tracts of real estate where
the taxes have long been delinquent
and where the taxes in many cases
have more than equalled the value
of the property.
It is being surveyed at this time
and from this a plan will be devised
that will allow the county to place
this- property on sale and have it
cleaned up and once more placed
on the tax lists under parties who
might purchase the property and
keep the taxes paid on it in the fu
ture. The property in this class are
usually small lots that are scattered
over the cities and towns and which
under this system of sales would at
tract a purchaser and wipe out the
immense array of taxes that have- in
the past accumulated on the prop-
erty. i
This plan was successfully worked
on Sarpy county and resulted in a
greater part of the property being
placed in the hands of persons who
have looked after the payment of
the taxes and kept the property off
the delinquent tax list after it was
purchased.
The amount of property that
would mount into thousands of dol
lars and should be a real move on
the part of the county and various
city governments to clean up a lot
of very bad tax property over the
county and give the purchasers at
the auction of the property a clear
title to the various pieces of real
estate that are purchased.
The plan looks good and after a
more ttiorougn investigation win
probably be adopted and suitable
parties secured to get the property
in shape for the listing. i

James Dooley, who was employed

hawka last summer, has been working
at the home of C. V. Flaischman for
some time and on last Monday evening
, received a call to come to Syracuse
to again begin the season's work on

' constructing a cyclone cave. Fourteen
I years ago, March 23, was the time
j of the cyclone which demolished the
house where Mr. Flaischman at tnat
time lived and where Mr. Peter John
son now resides. When the cyclone
had gone over Mr. and Mrs. Flaisch
man concluded they would make a
rave so as to be safe in the future. On
the 23rd day of March this year just
fourteen years to a day they began
the construction of the cave and ex
pect to have it ready when the next
storm comes. The excavation is com
pleted and ready for the mason work.

The gas method for ripening fr nt -'r. :
and vegetables was originated Ly Dr. nipnni,in
R. B. Harvey, plant physiologist of MS MOTHi! Jf UVyfltHJsH Y
tne .Minnesota agricultural eipen-
meet station.
Dr. Harvey expects the use of
ethylene to lengthen the growing
season by ripenening immature fruit?
before the regular season and also
to save fruits caught green by frost.
Expense Small.
'The e'xpense of the treatment is
negligible," says Dr. Harvey. "Ethy
lene gas costs about $4 for 25 cubic
feet, which is sufficient for 10 or
more carloads of celery, tomatoes or
bananas.
"A single dose of ethylene of about
two to three cubic feet, costing less
than 10 cents a carload, is sufficient
to produce a remarkable change in
their color, flavor and texture to that
of fine, ripe fruit.
Sugar Content Increases.
"In the commercial treatment of
celery with ethylene it was found
that the sugar content of the stalks
increased 20 to 30 per cent over the
untreated m,a t e r i a 1. Immature
fruits, men as preen tomatoes or
muskmellons. can be made market
able, their acidity decreased and
their sugar content increased by the
u?e of ethylene.
"At the Minnesota station we have
ripened practically all of the im
portant fruits and vegetables of
trnnirnl and tpmnerate climates. Of
the tropical fruits we may now hope
to have a greater share available in
the north, as they may now be ship
ped in a firm, green condition."

The annual report of the Ameri
can Telephone & Telegraph company
shows that it is owned by 399,121
stockholders, and that no stockhold-
r owns as much as one per cent of
the total stock outstanding.
President Gifford defines the ideal
and aim of the company, as a tele
phone service for the nation free from
imperfections, errors or delays, and
enabling at all times, anyone any
where to pick up a telephone and
talk to anyone anywhere else, clear
ly, quickly and at a reasonaMe cost.
The United States now enjoys the
use of 17,574,000 telephones. It has
led the way in long distance voice
transmission ever land and sea, and
established a commercial service for
the transmission of pictures by wire.
In no branch of industry does the
United States stand out more strik
ingly as a leader, in contrast with
the rest of the world, than it does
in telephone achievements.
