S\VANSON, Druggist jj Loup City, Nebraska 1 BROKEN RLEbGE# IxROEEO I I Pointing out in detail the extra va‘j gance of the Democratic-Republican control, Representative Martin B. Mad den, of Illinois, delivered an address during the recent revenue debate which evry voter should secure and, read. Among other things, he said: ( “You have squandered $162,000,000 to no purpose in the Mexican-bordero fias- j Co, $25,000,000 in the Vera Cruz inci dent. $35,000,000 in Alaska, $11,000,000 : in an armor-plate plant. $20,000,000 in a nitrate plant, $50,000,000 in a ship-1 purchase scheme. $50,000,000 in a1 j scheme for flood control, which means i nothing but the reclamation of private-1 ly owned lands. You spent last year $40,000,000 on the river and harbor j bill, much of which went into dry j creeks, where you were compelled to I dig artesian wells to furnish the water You have increased the number of men on the pay roll at an annual cost ! of $50,000,000.” ' ORIGIN OF FELT. Many centuries ago a poor monk I was compelled to travel upon a long and arduous journey. His road was rocky, his sandals were worn, and lie suffered agonies as he trudged grimly : upon his holy errand. One day as he [ sat by the wayside resting a sheep . came up to him, bleating in the most j friendly fashion. The good monk pet ted the sheep, and was grateful for its dumb friendliness, when suddenly he • had an inspiration. He took out his j sheath knife, sheared two handfuls of i : wool from the sheep and placed one | in the heel of either sandal. That af-1 | ternoon as he trudged along his feet | seemed light, his step springy. The wool took the jar from his spine, the i impact of the stony road from his ach ing. swollen feet. The next morning as he started out | he thought to rearrange the wool pad ! ding and discovered that the friction ! and the movement of his feet in the | sandals had reduced the wool to a | sort of a cloth. Thus was discovered j felt which to this day is one of the! j most effective substances ever dis- j | covered for padding purposes. WOULD SELL SCHOOL LANDS. Former Land Commissioner, E. 9. ; Cowles sums up the proposition to sell ; the state's school lands as follows: “The total acres under lease is 1, 650.000. The rental runs from 3 cents to $3 an acre, the total income being $195,000. If all of this land was sold for cash at the minimum price of $7 ; an acre it would produce $11,550,000, j one-fifth of which. $2,310,000 is the as sessed value for taxation. Suppose that | the state levy is 7 mills and on this | sum the state would receive $16,170. i If the county taxes averaged 12 mills,! i the counties would receive $27,720. If | the school levies averaged 15 mills the | school districts would receive $34,650. If the land -were sold for cash and the sum was invested in bonds and other securities at 4*4 per cent interest the income would amount to $519,750, | which added to the income from taxes ! gives a total income of $598,290. From 11his substract the income of $195,000. which the state now receives, and there is a difference in favor of sell | ing of $403,290 per annum.” Unless there is some defect in Mr; Cowles’ argument not visible to the naked eye it should not take the legis lature very long to decide what is the right thing to do. In this time of stress and excitement we should remember that wre are all “Americans,” and that we are all loy al to the home that shelters us, clothes us, and guarantees us liberty and freedom of thought. We just can’t lose sight of Carran- j za. No sooner did the shadow of Ger many darken our horizon than the old 1 duck conveyed his profound admira-' tion and good will to the kaiser. And j everybody laughed.

Union Stock Yards, South Omaha, Nebraska, February 27, 1917. The .smallest run of cattle for about three weeks put in its appearance here Mon day, arrivals counting out about 253 loads. There wire no strictly choice or prime cattle in the yards here Mon day, and very few that could be grad ed as good, the best only bringing $11.05. The larger part of the receipts were of the fair to medium grades and the offerings even of such were not very large. Demand was very brisk, however, and fully 10c higher than the close of last week, and everything had changed hands at an early hour. Of ferings of cows ana heifers were net very large, but demand was very brisk and buyers cleaned up every thing early ai fully 10c, and in some cases, higher prices, than last week Quotations on cattle: Good to choice beeves, $10.50(§ 11.50; fair to good beeves, $9.75 y 10.25; common to fair beeves, $S.5O@p.50; good to choice heifers, $S.25'u 0.50; good to choice cows, St’.75@9.00; fair to good cows. $>775'a 7.75: canners and cutters, $5.25 @6.50; veal calves. $9.n0@ll.50; bo logna bulls, $6.50@17.50; beef bulls, $7.50'88.75. Just a fair run of hogs showed up for Monday, only about 127 cars, or 9,200 head. Demand for hogs w:s very good from all quarters, and with a light supply and bullish reports from outside markets, movem nt started very early. Some of the first sales were no more than 5® 10c high er, but owing to the keen competition, prices rapidly moved to 10c and then 10® 15c higher levels, some sales being as much as 20c higher. Bulk of the hogs sold at $12.65® 12.90, with full loads as high as $12.95, and half a load of good heavies at $13.00. The week opened out with a rather generous supply of sheep and lambs, estimates calling for fifty-eight cars or 14.000 head. Supplies of limbs were fairly decent at all the markets and early rounds of the lamb market had a rather weakish tone. Packers seem ed to be more or less indifferent even towards the good, light lambs, and did not even make bids on some of the handy weight and heavy lambs. Quotations uu sheep and lambs: I-ambs, light and handy, $14.00@14.65; lambs, heavy, $13.50@14.15; lambs, clipped, $11 5ti@12.75; lambs, feed< rs, $13.00® 14.25; yearlings, good to choice, $12.75@13.50; yearlings, fair to good, $11.50® 12.75; wethers, fair to choice, $!0 50@12.00; ewes, good to choice. $11 25® 11.60; ewes, fair to good, $10.00® 11.25; ewes, plaiu to culls, $7.00® 9.50. Washington. Feb. 28. — Calling trained men to the colors by wire is the novel method adopted by the Cnited States marines who, today, are sending hundreds of telegrams to for mer ‘‘soldier of the sea” whose ser vices are especially desired in the face of a national crisis. Telegrams sent from headquarters to individual ex marines read as follows: “Marine corps needs her trained soldiers. Please communicate with nearest re- j cruiting station. If you cannot return to colors yourself, please secure one recruit for marine corps.” The tele Sram is signed by Brigadier General lohn A. Lejeune. i 1 ” “ Classified Advertising KODAK FINISHING.
