High Priced Mutton
Joe Perry and Walter Thomas werd
brought into county court yesterday
afternoon, charged with stealing
sheep. Several witnesses were exam
ined and sufficient evidence furnished
to hind them over to the next term of
district court. They were both re
leased under bonds of $500 each.
From what we have learned the two
men in question secured an auto and
drove to the Wade Koontz farm west
of town, caught two sheep and made
their get-a-way. That" tho sheep had
been slaughtered was evident as two
pelts were found under tho bridge
near Guide Rock and an effort to dis
pose of tho meat was mado in Super
ior. A mark on the ear enabled Mr.
Koontz to identify them as his prop
erty. We fear this will bo pretty expen
sive mutton 'ere tho case has been
put thru the channels of tho district
court.
Free Market Bulletins
Tho United States Bureau of Mar
kets Is offering to send free to any
fanner or live stock feeder in tho
state daily bulltins showing tho live
stock loadings and condition of the
meat trade. Nebraska farmers "de
sirous of being placed on tho mailine
list are invited to send their names to'
tho Bureau of Markets. 4980 South
Twenty-fourth street, Omaha.
Christian Church Notes
Special meetings nt Indian Creek
closed last Sunday. 42 people lined
up for the cause of Christ and Indi
cated they would stand for simple
Christianity free from all denomin
ationalism. Bible atudy will bo hold
Thursday evenings and preaching ser
vices on Sundays.
Tuesday evening the Indian Creek
people gave the pastor a happy sur
prise and did not forgtt to leave
many things to eat. Come again.
J. L. Bccbe visited relatives In Alma
the first of the week.
Cradle roll service Sunday after
noon at South Side Mission.
Mr. Curtis Friday of Austin, Texas,
formerly of Red "Cloud, writes a very
interesting letter and .sent a number
of pictures showing positions and
drills of the boys In camp.
"A sixty-five year old disciple"from
a neighboring town writes the. pastor
congratulations for his position on the
church question and added a check
to show appreciation for the article
recently published in tho Chief.
One of the best doctors of tho state
said after reading the article that ap
peared in tho Chief on the church
question, "That is one of the best
discussions of the church situation
that I ever read, and I agree with Mr.
Bcebc that sectarianism must go."
The churches this year should not
squander money for Christmas can
dies while the world is starving for
bread and sugar is needed for the war.
Everybody should be American and
everyone should be Christian only.
Raise More Pigs
Eighteen farmers and agricultural
workers have received appointments
as special workers in the pork cam
paign which has just been started in
Nebraska. Each one of these rep
resentatives will have a section of the
state to look after.
In case the number of breeding hogs
is not increased this winter, an acute
shortage of pork products is sure to
result next spring. Nebraska's quota
has been set at a 20 per cent increase
over last year.
With the Government backing them
thru emergency legislation as it never
has before, farmers have never had
greater assurance that their efforts
would be justly compensated." The
Food Administration has said that, un
til further notice, prices, so far as it
can influence them, will not go below
the minimum of about $15.50 a hun
dred, for the average of the packers'
droves on the Chicago market. Fur
thermore, it has said as to hogs far
rowed next Spring: "Wo will try to
stabilize the price so that the farmer
can count on getting for each 100
pounds of hogs ready for market 13
times the average cost of the corn
per bushel fed into the hogs." Exper
ience lias shown, specialists of tho De
partment of Agriculture say, that this
ratio of 13 to 1 is liberal ,and that it
should stimulate hog breeding now.
The Nebraska College of Agriculture,
with increased forces, also stands
ready to aid fanners in and way it can.
The Revcnna News tells tho story
of a chicken shipped from that place
to Anaconda, Mont., in whose craw
was found twenty or thirty sapphires,
evidently picked up by the aforesaid
chicken while foraging along tho
banks of the south fork of the Loup.
Huh, finding a handful of sapphires
in a Nebraska chicken's craw isn't
anything! During 1916 automobiles
and phonographs and sewing ma
chines, and surreys, and silk dresses,
and fur coats and pianos and univers
ity courses and trips to the Pacific
coast and a whole lot of other things
were found in the craws of Nebraska
chickens about $35,000,000 worth
Mrs. Biddy Hen of Nebraska tip
your hats, please contributed moio
than 200,000,000 dozen eggs to the
prosperity of tho state, and 75,000,000
dozen of them were sold at an aver
age price of about 22 cents per dozen,
or about $17,000,000. And she con
tributed something like $17,000,000 or
$18,000,000 worth of "fries" and
"boils" and "stews" to the gustatory
joy of tho country. A mere handful
of mcasley little old sapphires in a
Nebraska chicken's craw is hardly
worth mentioning.
- Transportation of Troops
Troop movement figures to date in
dicate that tho railroads of this coun
try have saf61y transported approxi
mately 1,500,000 soldiers to training
camps and embarkation points. Sinco
Aug. 1 five hundred thousand of theso
men have mado journeys necessitating
over-night travel and have been moved
in tourist or standard sleepers fur
nished by the Pullman Company.
On one of the long hauls 8,000 men
were moved from a training camp
on tho Western coast to a point on
the Eastern coast, a distance of 3,700
miles, in a little less than a week. Tho
men traveled in sixteen sections, each
section comprising 12 tourist cars and
2 baggage cars.

Cross Christmas seals on Thursday,
Dec. 13. They will call on you.
