U. O. Howell mado u trip over tho
Wyraoro division of tho Burlington
last weok, checking up tlio car rec
ords at as many stations aB possible
It has been suggested to tho car
riers that tho distribution of empty
merchandise set-offs bo controlled by
tho chief dispatchers In order to equal
lio tho liumbor Instead of leaving It
to tho discrimination of trainmen.
Tho mombcra ot tho conimlbslon in
dlcato tnat tills was not being dono
as It should be.
Tho presont crisis Is attributed by
the carriers' to tho fact that many of
tholf cars aro In tho east and that
on account of the high prices of crops
there happens to bo an unprecedented
demand for cars right now In the ag
ricultural sections of tho mlddlo west.

Personnel of tho Legislature About
Equally Divided But Drys Confident
That Both House and Senate Will
Favor Laws to Enforce the Amend
ment Lincoln. After a caroful scrutiny
ot tho Nebraska houso and Benato,
prominent dry workors In tho stato,
decided that rcganlioss oi poiiut-i
faith, both sides would favor adoquats
laws to enforco tho amendment. Ths
dry partisans claim a decided major
ity In tho house and a working ma
jority In tho senate. When It be
camo known that tho democrats would
control In both branches tho Impros
alon prevailed that dry legislation
would meet some opposition. A care
ful perusal of the llstsof men and
their motives, however. Indicates that
tho house' Is decidedly dry and a
majority ot the souato leunlng In that
direction.
11. F Carson, superintendent of ths
Nchrnska anti-saloon league, has pro
pared from returns furnished a table
showing where and how tho members
of the house and senate stand. From
theso figures, It would appear that
t)ie house will contain at least fifty
Boven outspoken dry adherents and
tho senate a small working mujoriij.

tho secretary of etato.
Yield Shorter But Price Higher
NobraBka farmors will not ralce as
many bushels of grain and other farm
products this year as last, according
to tho latest govornmont crop estl
mato, but tho higher prices will moro
than ovorcomo the difference. The
corn estlmato for this year Is 194 mil
lion bushels, whereas In 1915 tho crop
yielded 213,000,000 bushels. Tho corn
In tho southern counties is bolow tho
average, whllo tho eastern and north
ern counties havo excellent crops.
Tho estlmato of tho wheat yield for
this year is approximately G.000,000
less than in 1915. This is largely duo
to a smallor acreage this year than
ono year ago.
Tho estimate of tho oat yield Bhows
that oats Is tho only grain that will
havo a larger ylold than In 1915. Tho
estimate for this year 1b 79,662,000 aB
compared with 70,4000,000 in 1915,
Tho potato yield is about 3,000,000
bushols loss than last year, while tho (
apple crop 13 less than half as largo
as In 1915. Nobraska had 1.2G7.000 bar
rols of npplCB n 1915, whllo tho estl
mato for this year Is 570,000. Accord
ing to Aaron E. Anderson, flold agont,
thiB Is mainly duo to tho many farm
orchards that aro infested with fung
ous diseases.
Tentative plans for tho social
science and teachers collogo build
ings at tho stato unlvcrsty havo been
approved by tho board of regents.
After tho meeting members of tho
stato board went to tho state farm
whoro thoy wore guests at luncheon
with tho Omaha stock men. There
is yet a great deal of work to bo
dono on tho plans of the two pro
posed buildings. Tho architects will
proceed with moro detailed plans
and -then ascertain If tho structures
can bo erected at a reasonable figure.
It will probably bo months beforo
any definite stODS looking to the
actual eroctlon of tho buildings can
bo taken.
State Corn Crop Is 8hort
Although Nobraska farmers this
year raised 250,000 acres loss corn
than a year ago, tho valuo of tho
crop 1b as great as a yoar ago, ?114,
042,269, according to crop roport by
W. It. Mellor, secretary of tho stato
board of agriculture. This year's
acrengo was 0,720,803 which produced
190,070,449 bushols. Approximately
.88,000,000 bushels more wore raised
in 1915. Tho ylold per aero this
year averaged 28.2 bushols compared
wlth.,UG bushQlB for 19J5,

How It Is Done.
A mnn, engaged In buying n necktie
for himself, turned tho illo over und
over nnd at Inst put nshlo two ns not
worthy of further consideration. The
salesman phiccd tho rejected ties In
a separate box. The man asked wheth
er they had been pluccd by mlstuko
with those ho l'uid been examining.
"Oh, no," was tho polite response;
"but wo havo .orders when llvo or six
men turn down a tlo to tnko It out
and put It aside."
"What becomes of them?"
"We soil them to women who como
In hero to buy ties for men."

Mother Wanted the Pleasure.
"Molly, love," Huld Molly's smart
mother. "I do hope, when wo'ro at
Mrs. Jiinson's this afternoon, that you
won't think of letting out that tcrrl
blo story about tho poor deur vicar's
wife that we heard yesterduy."
"Oh, of courso not, mother I It
would bo so wlcked.'us well us ungen
erous. I shouldn't dream of speaking
evil of anyone'
"Quito right, my dear quite right!
You always havo such nice feelings
nbout everything 1 Besides, I want to
tell Mrs. Jlmson myself 1"
No Precedent
Llttlo Thomas, aged four, has a will
of his own which doesn't unbend eas
ily. One day It took about llvo minutes
of argument nnd nppllunco of tho rod
by his mother before ho was flnully In
duced to tibey In a smnll matter. Even
then It wus not easy.
"I'll do it this time," ho Informed
her with a lordly sir, "but I won't do
it next time l"
In Doubt.
"You had a narrow escape from the
sharks this summer."
"Yes," replied Mr. Meckton.
"Your wlfo must havo been very
grateful to the lifeguard who rescued
you."
"I hope-so. I saw her tnlklng to htm.
But I'm not suro whether sho was
thanking him or scolding him for but
ting In."
Hard to Explain.
"Mother, how do they hang people?
asked Wnlluce.
"I don't know, dear, and I should not
tell you If I did know. Don't let your,
thoughts run on such awful things."
"But, mother, tho boys say that
Sheriff JnckBon does it, and he's a real
nice man. I was going to ask him to
let me sco him do It some day."
"Oh, theso terrible man-children,"
said mother, as sho put her flngcra la
her ears.
Constant Peril.
"Do you fear for tho future of your
country?"
"Of course," replied Senator Sor
ghum. "My country has always to
face tho chance of ray landing In the
minority or even being retired to pri
vate life."

Think oi It
People cut out tea or coffee before retiring when these
beverages interfere with sleep. In the morning they
drink freely of them, strangely overlooking the fact that
at whatever time of day the cup is drunk the drug,
caffeine, in tea and coffee is irritating to the nerves.
More and more people are turning to
Instant Postum
the drug-fn, nourishing, comforting cereal drink.
