Consolidation of several stato de
partments, a move calculated to make
for more efficiency in state govern
ment than tho primitive methods
which have prevailed for many years,
has been shown to bo worth while to
the taxpayers. In the past year the
associated departments of food, drug,,
dairy, oil and weights and measures.
Inspections have collected $15,000
more fees than under the old system
nnd nt the snme time have operated at
a less outlay than under the scheme
of diffusing activities. Food and oil
inspections for the year of 1912, un
der separate departments, brought in
fees to the amount of $69,100 while
for the present year the total has run
up to $84,230. The November report
of the department shows that of the
$8,771 fees received, the oil division
contributed $7,816. Inspections made
included 161 cream stations, 203
hotels and restaurants, 177 meat mar
kets, 377 grocery stores, thirty milk
wagons and dairies, most of them in
Omaha, fourteen saloons, fifty-eight

oy the state board of Agriculture,
farmers In Arthur county are prepar
ing to prevent waste on the farms in'
that region by utilizing potatoes that
cannot be marketed. Many of the

moved from a suitable -aarkat. For.
this reason thousands of bushels or
potatoes are wasted each year. The
.farmers have conceived the Idea of.
'manufacturing denatured alcohol from
tho waste. Twenty-five farmers have
banded themselves together to erect
denatured alcohol factory.
