THE TOURIST SLEEPER WAY
TO CALIFORNIA
The BURLINGTON’S Personally Conducted Tourist
Sleeper Parties to California are one of the best patronized fea
tures of its Passenger Service. You should arrange to join these
parties and go in this comfortable way.
BURLINGTON Denver train No. 3 along the Omaha-Ox
ford line carries these sleepers for California; they all go via
the Rio Grande through scenic Colorado by daylight, and direct
to Southern California via the Salt Lake Route, or to San Fran
cisco via the Southern Pacific and Western Pacific roads. Con
nections with these tourist sleepers are made daily in Denver
from Southern Nebraska main line train No. 17, and every Wed
nesday on the St. Joseph-Denver main line No. 17 there is a Per
sonally Conducted through tourist sleeper to Los Angeles, via
the Southern Pacific and San Francisco.
U Ask for “California Excursions” and let me as
sist you to join these parties at the first available
place en route.

Union Stock Yards, South Omaha,
Nebr., December 12, 1916.—The week
opened out with a very respectable
run of cattle, 389 loads, or about
10,500 head. Strictly good to
choice beeves sold from $10.00 to
$11.00, and the bulk of the fair to
good 1,050 to 1,300-pound cattle went
at a spread of $9.00@10.00. The mar
ket for cows and heifers was about
the same as the latter part of last
week. Offerings were by no means
excessive, and the demand was very
good from both local packers and out
side butchers as well as considerable
Inquiry from feeder buyers.
Quotations on cattle: Good to
choice yearlings, $10.00@11.00; good
to choice beeves, $10.00® 11.00; fair
to good beeves, $8.75@9.75; common

choice heifers, $6.75®7.65; good to
choice cows, $6.60 @7.50; fair to good
cows, $5.75® 6.50; canners and cut
ters, $4.50@5.75; veal calves, $8.00@
10.00; bologna bulls, $5.00@5.50; beef
bulls, $5.50@6.75.
A liberal run of hogs showed up for
Monday, estimates placing the supply
at 150 loads or 11,300 head. Shippers
bought hogs freely Monday, paying
prices that were all the way from
strong to a dime higher, or generally
a nickel higher than last week.
Packers’ early bids were around
steady to if anything a little lower,
and quite a bit of stuff was bought
steady on the less desirable kinds, but
anything on which there was compe
tition sold strong to 5c higher.
A very light run of sheep and
lambs was on hand Monday, arrivals
counting out thirty-nine cars or 9,000
head. Sellers started out asking
sharply higher prices, some of them
pricing their holdings as high as
$13.00. Movement starting in good
season with some lambs selling
fully 30 cents higher than the close of
last week. Ewes were generally
called about a quarter higher, one
string of rangers bringing $8.50, a

FEEDING MOLDY CORN.
Feeding moldy corn to horses often
causes blind staggers or similar dis
eases, says the college of agricul
ture, Lincoln. Several fungi are known
to be responsible for mold, according
to the agricultural botany department
As moldy kernels are lighter than wa
ter, they may be separated from the
sound ones by placing the grain in
water and skimming off the kernels
that rise to the top. Mixing moldy corn
with bran and oats appears to lessen
danger to animals that consume it.
Specimens of moldy ears may be sent
to the agricultural^botany department,
University Farm, for examination.
THE PARTY STILL COMPACT.
There is one comfort. The republi
can party is practically reconstructed
and compact. The practical, sensible
men in it, both regulars and wander
ing but returned progressives, can
and will shape its future. The best
field in which to hope and work for
any betterment of human conditions
is still in and witfi the party of Abra
ham Lincoln. We have carried *most
of the old republican states except
for president. Most of the “Kept us
out of war” element will return; wo
will sweep the country in 1918.—Leb
onan (N. H.) Free Press.
GREEN STUFFS FOR WINTER.
Many of the green things of the
summer garden may be had for little
cost even in the winter if one takes a
little time to care for a hotbed, says
the horticultural department of the
University of Nebraska. Hotbeds ai
the university farm are doing fine
and it is expected that there will be
plenty of lettuce to offer for the
Christmas trade. While the growing
things in cold frames were killed (fur
ing the recent zero weather, every
thing in the hotbeds came through in
good condition.
SHOULD FUTURE GENERATIONS
PAY?
In all large public undertakings
where permanent improvements were
sought to be made it has become a
custom to isue long-time bonds in or
der to secure the money with which
to finance the work. Probably nine
tenths of the counties of nine-tenths
of the states of the union are bonded
to a greater or less extent, and scarce
ly a city or town of any importance
in the land but carries its bonded debt
that has gone to pay for public util
ities.
But in many cases the advocates of
the bond issue have had hard fights
to carry their projects through. One
of the most serious objections has al
ways been from the man who “does
n’t believe in saddling a debt on fu
ture generations.”
Now let us see about this. Sup
pose, for instance, our country has no
railroad. For generations our ances
tors, and we ourselves, have laborious
ly hauled In our supplies and hauled
/
out our products, realizing, when all
expenses were met, but a meagre pit
tance for our year’s work.
But a railroad is projected and we
are told if we will bond our county
for a few hundred thousand dollars, it
will be put through This we do.
Now arises the objection that we have
placed a heavy debt on posterity.
Have we?
Yes. But at the same time we
have given posterity the means to pav
that debt and then be infinitely better
off than we and our fathers were.
Compare for a moment the differ
ence in their condition, and ours be
fore the road was built. The average
county is about twenty-five miles
wide. Suppose that represented the
nearest shipping point. Do you see
the enormous saving we have effected
for posterity in bringing the road to
their doors?
Again, the question of roads. The
same reasoning will hold good there.
Whereas we and our fathers toiled
through mud and mire to drag fifteen
or twenty bushels of grain to market,
our sons can hitch up an ordinary
team and take a load of two or three
thousand pounds with ease and in less
time than we needed.
And so on through the list oP'all
permanent public improvements.
But the work should be permanent,
or at least as nearly permanent as our
best judgment can make it. When
we have builded to the best of our
ability and have lain a groundwork
on which our children can continue
to build, we have not only benefited
ourselves and not injured them, but
we have benefited them, and made it
possible to attain to conditions that
were entirely beyond our reach.
A debt on posterity is just, provided
it represents a tangible asset.

In the ultimatum which the presi

whose First Chief isn’t recognized as
possessing some kind of authority—
which he is unable to exercise over

term, there is none.
