M. yiW . . I rar e, six shooters and some mighty
thrilling stunts of the star Ken May
nard are all combined to make "The
California Mail" an unusual western
motion picture. It opens at the Par-
mele theatre on Friday and Satur
day
"The California Mail," a First Na
tional picture is a story of the west
during the Civil war and points up
the fact that the western gold mines
played a tremendous part keeping
the union army in the field and main
taining the credit of the nation dur
ing its times of stress.
This is not to be construed to
mean that "The California Mail" is
u story of the civil war. Far from
it. This point is only referred to
in several lilies to give iue siury
impetus. The main theme has been
built around the first express com
nanies operating their stage coach
Huts in and about California and
the trouble caused by road agents
and bandits.
The entire picture has been care
fully made and well blended with all
tae elements of good red-blooded en
terlainment. Ken and his partner
Turzan provide plenty of action and
th ills of the type for which they
huc become famous wherever pic
tures are showr.
Possibly the most outstanding se
quence of the entire film is the stage

auguration of a fine new basement
department where a large stock of
goods can be handled and shown to
the best advantage to the patrons.
The new departmene in the base
ment is reached by a stairway from
the main salesroom on the first floor
and it has been arranged in a very
cozy and artistic manner that makes
shf oping there an added pleasure.
The walls ar.d ceiling of the new
room are finished in soft tones of
cream and have a splendid lighting
system that makes the room as light

opportunity of seeing at the best ad

one of the features or the new
basement department is the ventila

had arranged and which keeps the
basement fresh and cool all of the
time and the room is one of the best

ARGUE FOR HIGHER RATES
Washington Representatives of
western railroads on Tuesday .argued
before the interstate of higher
freight rates on livestock. They con
tended that the rates recommended
by Chester E. Stiles and Arthur S.
Parker, examiners for the commis
sion, after their investigation into
the present rate structure under the
Hoch-Smith resolution were inade
quate and should be raised by the
commission.
K. F. Burges3, of the Burlington,
representing western trunk line car
riers contended rates suggested by
the examiners were too low and
would produce little if any increase
in revenue. Any increase, he said,
would be "negligible in Importance."
Explaining that rates on livestock
were reduced In 1921, on account of
depression in the industry, D. F.
Smith of the Union Pacific, who also
represented western trunk line car
riers, said that rates should be rais
ed now that the depression has ended.

start qf the trip of the Pioneer Pro
fitable Pork special train which will
traverse Nebraska on a three-day
tour.
He stressed that the percentage
of hogs that died enroute to mar
ket cut deeply into the profits of
the raisers, and that one of the
prime reasons for the special train
was to show the farmers how to
feed and prepare their hogs for ship
ping in order to reduce the mortality
rate.
Governor Weaver addressed the
more than one hundred persons at
the sendcfC just before Miss Helen
Schweiger of Chadron, University of
Nebraska coed, christened the train
with a bottle of pork lard.
The fact that the railroads during
the last few years have dropped their
political string pulling and started
an Intensive drive in co-operation
with one another and with farmers
to bring greater prosperity to the
state was cited by the governor. He
said the railroads had played a large
part in bringing about the rapid
growth of Nebraska in the sixty
some years of its statehood and to
day there is annually over $1,000,
000.000 produced by the industries
of the Etate.
Systematic, scientific hog raising
tnru the introduction of better
strains and methods has increased
the value of the industry and it now
brings one-third of the farm revenue
in the state and Nebraska stands
third in the nation in hog produc
tion, the governor pointed out.
The important part that the uni
versity and the college of ' agricul
ture have played in developing agri
culture was depicted by Chancellor
Burnett of the university. He urged
the application of two methods for
bringing a greater return to Ne
braska farmers. The first was sys
tematic production and the second
was the stablizing and bettering of
marketing conditions.
J. R. Webster, senior regent of
the university, and Dean W. W. Burr
of the agricultural college were in
troduced to the crowd and made
short talks. Frank D. Eager, presi
dent of the Lincoln chamber of com
merce, introduced the speakers and
Miss Schweiger.
The Burlington band played sev
eral selections during the program
and the christening.
The nine car train was filled
with exhibits dealing with all phases
oC the hog industry. The proper
methods of raising, feeding and pre
paring for shipment are dealt with
