The Women and Men of Nebraska Should

. Humane and Sensible.
ALFRED E. SMITH has done more to promote human welfare
and social justice In New York than any other man In public life
throughout the history of the state. His record of accomplishment
la behalf of the sick, the poor and those with physical or mental
disabilities and his success in improving the living conditions of the
people as a 'Whole mark him as unique among our statesmen for his
contribution to social progress. To the service of those who are out
of step in the march of life he has brought a warm and sympathetic
understanding, aided by keen Intelligence, practical common sense
and a passion for facts.
. For Economic Justice To Farmers. AJt&&ith
GOVERNOR SMITH recognizes the fact that no family or group of families can be truly happy
when they can not enjoy the same privileges of life as their neighbors and cannot give their children
the same opportunities in life that their neighbor's children have. HE KNOWS FROM THE STATIS
TICS COMPILED BY THE UNiTED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE THAT IN 1916
THE FARMERS OF THIS COUNTRY RECEIVED 20 PER CENT OF THE TOTAL INCOME OF ALL
THE FAMILIES OF THE NATION, AND THAT IN 1S27 THE FARMERS' SHARE WAS ONLY 7'2
PER CENT OF THE TOTAL INCOME, ALTHOUGH THE FARMERS REPRESENTED ONE-THIRD
OF THE TOTAL POPULATION. Governor Smith has pledged himself to correct that Injustice and to
place the farmers among the happy families cf the nation by urging and signing, not discouraging
and vetoing, the legislation which is capable of bringing economic justice and equality to agriculture
21e has premised to sign the bill to be prepared by the representatives of agriculture. He has never
broken a promise made the people. Remember that the representatives of the forty-nine farm organ
Isatlons In the United States havs u.-.cr.:r.-tously indorsed and are supporting Governor Smith.
. For Public Education.
ALFRED E. SMITH is a true friend of public schools. In 1925, in the state of New York, he pro
cured 19,000,000.00 additional appropriations fcr rural schools. During his eight years In office, he has
procured an increase of many millions of dollars of appropriations for public education. He has placed
the country schools of the state on substantially tlie s.-sme bacis as the c'ty schools.
IV. Opposed To The Saloon - - Favors Honest Enforcement
GOVERNOR SMITH has raised a line lamily of children. It is therefore not surprising that he
said: "When I stated that the s:!con is end ought to be a defunct institution in this country, I meant
It. I mean it today. I will never advocat; nor approve any law which, directly or indirectly, permits
the return of the saloon. I shell to the very limit execute the pledge of our platform to make an hon
est endeavor to enforce the EiIj.csrth Amendment End all laws enacted pursuant thereto. THE
CORRUPTION IN ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITIES I WILL RUTHLESSLY STAMP OUT. Such con
ditions can not and will not exist und:r any administration presided over by me."
V. Progressive.
GOVERNOR SMITH has made statements on all Issues that are clear and not open to double con
struction. He has the support of the prosessivea of the country. Senator Norris has endorsed his
position on the Important questions of agriculture and power. His candor and directness have brought
him the support of all forward-loolzin-; vc!.-.rs of Shis country, irrespective of past political affiliations,
VI. Humble Origin - - A Great Leader.
ALFRED E. SMITH was born in hurable surroundings. He has never lost touch with or failed
In sympathy for the poor. His record as Governor of New York for four terms, his public activity as
a member of the legislature of Nov.- York, his adilrces in the pending campaign and his state papers,
prove that he is a great leader. Very re-.u'nlly Chark-s E. Hughes, the former Governor of New York
and former Justice of.the Supreme Court c liie United St::tts and a republican, in speaking of Gov
ernor Smith, said: He Is an expert in gCY;rnms:ii. Ti:e title he hold3 is the proudest title that .
any American can holdy because it is a tii!e to the ectccm and affection cf his fellow citizens."
A ballot cast for Alfred E. Smith for President is a vote for an
honest, capable, humans, fsr-sccing man. Co to the polls and let
honest argument; net prejudice rule your decision.

Paving Work
Will be Complete
in a Few Days
Busche Construction Company Will
Take Up Last of Work Today
and Push Rapidly.
From Wednesday's Dally
The twelve blocks of new paving,
contract for the construction of which
was let to the F. L. Busche Co., of
Omaha, several weeks ago, will be
completed within the next few days
and make a fine addition to the paved
sections of the city, in several cases
connecting up previous paving pro
jects and eliminating many very bad
streets for travel in the rainy and
wet seasons of the year.
The contractors completed the
Marble street project after some delay
and have been able to make rapid
progress on the Granite street paving
from Third to Sixth street and this
afternoon were well on the way with
the work on the Fifth street paving.
The paving in the south part of
the city which was delayed by court
action will have to be taken up later
by the city as will the proposed dis
trict on North Eleventh street where
the property owners, or sixty per cent
of them have petitioned for the pav
ing. These districts were all created by
the property owners with the excep
tion of the North Fifth street paving
and where the district was created
by the city under the due process of
law.
The merchant who advertises reg
ularly the year round, knows of no
slack business period.

More Eye Being Planted Feeder
Cattle Hhigh Hog Prices
Are on the Wane
The average corn yield in Ne
bra.ska this year will be 21.7 bush
els, and SI percent of the entire crop
will be merchantable, said bankers
of the state in their mid-month crop
report to the state and federal divi
sion of agricultural statistics.. One-
nfth of the intended wheat acreage
was yet to be seeded on Oct. 15, and
rye seedings showed approximately
the same reduction over last yea
Feeder cattle are costing nearly $3
per hundred weight more and lambs
approximately the same as last year
Moisture is short over the entire
state except in the east central, or
eastern Platte valley counties and the
southeastern section of the state. In
places there is a surplus of moisture
reserve, and over the rest of the state
small sections report a sufficient sup
ply but generally rain is needed.
The corn yield estimate of 21."
bushels per acre is in close agree
ment with. the first of month esti
mate by farmers and predicates
state production of 195,204,000 bus
hels this year as compared to 291,
446,000 a year ago. Of this crop 81
percent will be markatable banker?
say, the three southern districts
having very little unmarketable corn.
Yields range from 15.7 bushels for
the central countries, hard hit by the
drouth of late summer, to 30.2 bus
hels per acre for the coutheast corn
counties.
The northeast section, the eastern
Platte valley counties, and the south
west all reporting near the statf
average of 21.7 bushels per acre. All
corn will be ready to crib by Nov. 1,
and in many counties of the state the
majority of fields will be ready on
Oct. 15. OH corn, where it is for
sale Is bringing 77.5c per bushel as
compared to 74c a year ago at this
time.
Two of the important wheat sec
tions, the southwest and the south
central, still have a third of theii
winter wheat to seed according tc
the bankers. The dry weather held
up plowing and seed bed prepara
tion and some farmers have delayed
seeding even further, waiting for suf
ficient moisture to properly germin
ate the grain. In the southeast
where there has been an abundance
of moisture, 90 percent of "the wheat
is in the ground. The 21.5 percent
of the proposed wheat remolning to
be seeded compares with a figure of
6.2 percent at this time last year.
Wheat is bringing the farmer's t
weighted price. One year ago th'
weighted price was $1.10 per bushel
A , decided increase in rye seed
ing was planned by" farmers earrlier
in the fall, according to reports
Bankers believe the rye seeded tr
date is about 81 percent of last year'r
planting. Some of this reduction may
be due to the lack of rainfall in the
same way that wheat planting ha.'
been retarded.
Catle and lamb proces are reason
ably uniform over the state, and the
average for feeder lambs shows little
difference from a year ago. Feeder
cattle prices average $11.40 per hun
dred weight now and one year age
the average was $4.55 per hundred
weight. The greatest difference if
reported in the southeast. Bankers
were paying around $8. 30 for theii
feeders, and now place the average
at $13.40 in that section.
One-half of the hogs in the south
eastern counties and 34 percent or
all the spring pigs in the state could
be made ready for market by Dec
this year. The seasonal decline in
hog prices is usually in full swinf
at that date. The farmers In th
northeastern corner of the state have
the smallest proportion or hogs that
could be marketed by then of any
part of the state.

a demonstration of
SKELGAS
The Skelgas cabinet and
cylinders take the place
of city gas mains in sup
plying you with steady,
dependable gas service.
SKELGAS is real gas in compressed, bottled form.
Come in for a demonstration. Compare all re
sults with those of city gas. In every way SKELGAS
operates exactly the same except" that it gives a
hotter flame.
The reason? SKELGAS is made from selected parts
of natural gas. Only the hottest elements are used. By
means of this separation we can concentrate about
375 burner hours supply of Skelgas in each steel
cylinder.
Probably you have always wished you could have
gas piped to your home. You have wanted the
quick, clean heat which only gas can give in kitchen
range, water heater or other appliance. Ycu have
wanted a cool, clean comfortable kitchen.
SKELGAS brings all these advantages to you. Plan
to have Skeigas installed in your home. See a dem
onstration, pick out the appliances you want, and
we can make your installation in short time.
