2 They were twins; Essau was born
first, hence the birthright, which al
ways went, to the eltest son belonged
to him; 3 He sold his birthright for
a mess of pottage, when he was hun
gry. That is what we do when we
let earthly things claim and occupy
the place in our lives that should be
occupied by heavenly things.
Afterwards, Essau wished to have
the blessing, the right to which he
had sold for temporal gain, but he
found no place of repentance, though
he sought it carefully with tears.
Too many are letting the hunger
for material gain, both financial and
social, keep them from seeking an
experimental salvation through the

are selling their right to heaven for
the pleasures and social standing and
financial gain of this world. If this
is continued there will come a day
when they will seek the blessing of
heaven and they will not find it.
There is only one way to receive
this blessing and it is not by tears or
carefulness, but by the new birth,
which gives us a living faith in
Jesus Christ, the divine Son of God.
Stop selling your birthright to
heaven for the perishable things of
this life or one day you will seek
with tears the very blessing that you
are now setting aside for the pass
ing pleasures of this life, and you
will not find it.

Beet Growers
Upheld in War
on Sugar Firm
Department of Justice to Act Unless
Company Changes Its Tac
tics in Nebraska.
Washington, Dec. 11. Legal pro
ceedings shortly will be taken by the
dpnartment of. iustiee aerainst the
Great Western Sugar company, charg
ed by tne NebrasKa uo-operaiivq
Beet Growers' association with mono
polistic practices, it was learned to
day. While no official statement was
forthcoming it was decided by de
partment officials that officials of
the sugar corporation had been giv
en an opportunity to appear at a
conference Thursday and accept a
consent decree in lieu of prosecu
tion. Large Losses.
The complaint alleged that an
agreement existed between the Great
Western Sugar company and the
American Beet Sugar company by
which they divided the Nebraska
beet crop and fixed beet prices. All
the beets produced west of Hershey
were taken over by the Great West
ern, while those produced east of
Hershey were bought by the Amer
ican, it was claimed.
Growers Upheld.
It was further alleged by the co
operatives that, when the Holly Su
gar company arranged to build a
refinery and contracted for a large
portion of the beet crop, the Great
Western forced the Holly company
to abandon the project by reducing
the price of sugar 85 cents a bag
and subsequently lowering the price
of sugar beets when theindepend
ent company' was forced to with
draw. The transaction cost the North
Platte Valley growers a $1,000,000
this year and will hit them as hard
again in 1929, it is contended.
hTe contentions of the farmers'
complaint have been borne out by
investigations, of the department of
Justice, it was stated at the depart
ment. It is understood the govern
ment is ready to take action against
the sugar company unless it speed
ily and voluntarily changes its tac
tics. Omaha Bee-News.

Flu Epidemic
Spreading Over
Entire Nation
Five Maj'or Schools In Far Sep
arated Regions are Closed
California Recovering
Washington, Dec. 11. Although
J. J in the epidemic stage in some sec
tions, public health service officials
'do not believe the present outbreakk
I of influenza is as widespread as those
that swept the country in 1918 and
11920. Nor is it considered as vir-
ulent in character for the death rate
sDonsible for the closing of five
schools in widely separated section
ito that.
The University of the South at
Sewanee, Tenn., Culver Military aca
demy, Culver, Ind.; the University
of Missouri, Columbia, the Seminary
at St. Therese near Montreal. Q.; and
Levis College, Levis, Q.. have sus
pended classes because of outbreaks
of the disease.
No deaths were reported at any
of the schools, but at Sewanee half
the students were said to be ill. One
hundred and fifty had the disease at
Columbia and at Culver 68 had re
ported to the infirmary since Sat
urday.
Classes Continue at Iowa
Three other schools also reported
that influenza had made its appear
ance on the campua. It was charac
terized as an epidemic at the Univer
sity of Iowa, but classes have not
been ordered to suspend. Classes are
also meeting at Virginia Polytechnic
institute, . Blacksburg. Va., but stu
dents may leave for home after pro
curing the permission of health au
thorlties. At the University of Geo
rgia, Tthens, 37 were in the infirm
ary with 67 cases reported, but class
es are being held.
The latest deaths attributed to in
fluenza were reported from Kansas
where 13,956 cases are on record.
Mild forms of the disease generally
prevail, but three deaths at Wichi
ta and one at Parsons are said to
have taken place. Five thousand
cases alone were reported from Kan
sas City and the absence of 2,400
pupils and 42 teachers at Wichita
was laid to the disease.
Movie Stars Recover.
Health service officials said last
night that the malady was first no
ticed in epidemic form on the Paci
fic coast, particularly in California,
where 9,000 cases occurred during
November. It was first called gen
erally to the attention of the public
when a number of motion picture
stars took to their beds. None ap
peared to be seriously ill and the
majority has recovered.
From California it moved eastward
and now is widely scattered though
no virulent outbreaks have been re
ported along the Atlantic seaboard.
The malady spread along lines of
travel, according to health officials.
here, and warnings have been issued
to physicians and beaitn oniciais gen
erally to be on their guard.
Advice given the public nas ueen
to advise those stricken to "go to
bed and stay In bed."

City Council
Discusses Sixth
Street Paving
To Meet With Property Owners on
January 18th and to Discuss
the Matter at Length
trom Tuesday's Dally
The city council held a very in
teresting Bession last evening with
not a great deal of legislative mit
ters coming up but a great deal of
interest in the way of street im
provements that were discussed by
the councilmen and which will later
be taken up in the course of time
with the people most interested the
taxpayers, in the Sixth street dis
trict from Vine to Pearl street.
The reports of the various officers
of the city were received for the
month of November.
Chief of Police A. R. Johnson re
ported that in the month there had
been $42 in fines and costs collected,
this also being the tenor of the re
port of Police Judge Charles L.
Graves.
i City Clerk H. L. Thomas reported
'that in the past month he had re
ceived the sum of $802.31 and which
had been turned over to the city
; treasury.
j City Treasurer John E. Kirkman
reported that at the close of business
on November 30th that the funds
overdrawn amounted to $27,054, the
balance in the treasury $15,497 and
deposited in the various banks as
follows: Plattsmouth State $5.
938.03; Farmers State, $6,812.15,
First National, $2,747.52. The regis
tered warrants outstanding amounted
to $79,800.
j The street, alleys and bridges com-
. mittee, wnicn naa naa unaer us wine
ithe investigation of the petition for
paving on North 11th street, re
ported that the committee found that
there had been the required sixty
per cent of the resident property
owners sign the petition and under
the law it was manditory for the
city to order the district to be
created. On motion of Smith seconded
by Blunt, the report was accepted
and the district ordered created as
under the state law, all of the coun
cilmen present voting aye except
Hayes who opposed the motion.
There was a general and informal
discussion of the matter of the re
surfacing of Sixth street from Pearl
to Vine and which the city engineers
had prepared an estimate of the cost
which was read, showing that of re
inforced concrete to be $9,421 and
that of three inch brick block and
concrete base to be $12,834.30. The
question of widening the street was
also discussed but as many of the
buildings have area ways that would
have to be changed by the city, the
box sewers extended and the elec
trolier system changed, did not meet
the approval of many of the council-
men. The question of the present
from of the street or a slightly
crowned street was also discussed.
Council Kunsman thought that
the matter should be thoroughly dis
cussed by the council with the pro
perty owners before any definite
action was taken and accordingly
it was decided to hold a meeting on
Monday, January 14th at the city
hall with the property owners as to
their wishes in the matter.
Mayor John P. Sattler then pre
sented the name of Charles L. Graves
as police judge to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of" Judge Wil
liam Weber and which was unanim
ously confirmed by the council.
The matter of the indiscrimate
buying of stuff and charging it to
the city was brought up by Council
man Kunsman and after some dis
cussion it was ordered that all pur
chases must be approved by the
chairman of the committee in whose
department the purchasing was to
be done. Mayor Sattler reminded
the council that this was about the
twenty-fifth time that this resolution
was passed and that the city had
order blanks printed that were never
used and approving" strongly the
sentiment of checking the city pur
chases he thought the council should
see that the rule was rigidly en
forced to the letter.
The following bills were ordered
paid by the council:

RATE CUTS UNWARRANTED
Washington, Dec. 6. The inter
state commerce commission in a re
port to the senate today declared
that while rates on wheat and other
grains moving to export from the
American northwest were upon a
higher basis than like rates from
Canadian producing territory a low
ering of the American scale was un
warranted. The commission's report was made
after a special investigation request
ed by the senate last May. Among
instructions in the proposal was one
directing the commission to make
rates over American roads on grain
shipments equal to those prevailing
on Canadian railroads, if such re
ductions should be found possible,
and the commission responded that
railroad revenues would not stand
any such reduction.
