stock men are .main on their feet,

Douglai county are displaying proof
of real prosperity by allowingathcir
county commissioners to expend
more than $1,000,000 for paving of
county roads during 1 92 J.
With contracts awarded for 12
paving projects, the commissioners
also have opened a way for the em

who otherwise would have been idle.
This $1,000,000 will pay for

crs and the local packers have not
been slow to take advantage of this
situation. In discussing Omaha
livestock with an caster.-i killer a
few weeks since he said: "We never
had such cattle as are comifig from
Omaha this year."
From the East.
There is probably a considerable
portion of 1921's corn crop still in
the hands of producer?.
. We may look for a continuation of
tru run of fat cattle at this market
for some few weeks. Prices have
on thc whole been remunerative.
Sheep feeders have do.ne extra
ordinarily well. Most of the cattle
feeding operations have showed a
profit. Hors have held up their
own to a surprising degree.
The net results of these conditions
can not help but be pleasing to Ne
braska's stock men. We ;iote an
increased tendency on the part of
the Nebraska feeder to patronize his
home market, and with the increased
orders which arc reaching this mar
ket from the east, there seems no
I emnA rpaenn whv the natrons of the
Omaha market should not continue
to prosper.
Never Looked Better.
A delegation of Omaha stock me.n
visited the western part of the state
last week in attendance upon the
Western Nebraska Stock Growers'
association annual meeting. The
sand hills of the western part of the
state never looked better.
All of those stock men with whom
we talked said: "Conditions are fine.
We have almost a normal supply of
catthy in this portion of the state
plenty of grass, plenty of water and
we will soon be back to" old-time
conditions."
We can all of us see the "silver
lining" to the cloud which for years
hung over Nebraska's chief indus
try. It is indeed fitti.ng that The
Bee should publish a Prosperity Is
sue at this time. We want to join
The Sec in congratulating Ne
braska's stock men on present conditions.
Barnyard Mourns Loss of
Mule, Maude, by Lightning
Sistervslle. W. Va., July 1.
Maude, a maiden mule, is mourned
in a barnyard at Friendly, a small
town near here. Maude passed out
quickly. A storm brewed. Light
ning crashed through the heavens.
Through the space thunder roared
intermittently. To safeguard Maude
from the ravages of lightning the
mulc'i owner took her from the pas
ture and placed her in a barn. Fire,
originating from a bolt of lightning,
shortly thereafter destroyed the barn.
Maude was killed by the stroke.
Bordeaux Mixture Used
to Combat Insect Pest
Washington, July 1. The potato
Icafbopper, an insect pest which is
a serious menace to potato crops,
can be controlled by using Bor
deaux mixture, according to the De
partment of Agriculture.
"Results of two years' work," said
an official, "have shown that Bor
deaux mixture will repel the leaf
hopper, control 'hopperburn' and is
the best remedy."
Roadi Handling 800,000 Cur
Pcr Week, Compared to
1,000,000 During Train
portation Peak.
By J. DAVID LARSON.
rwnmlMlanrf (hanilw of I'tmnm.
According to C. F. Childi, man-
i ngcr of the traffic bureau of the
I Omaha Chamber of Commerce, the
1 railroad! are handling approximately
NK),0Oi) cars of freight per week at
(his time. Thi ii without the maxi
mum shipment- of coal which have
been curtailed because of the coal
imjirrs' strike. During the trans
portation peak at the time of the war
there were approximately 1,000,000
cars of freight per week handled by
the railroads, and this included the
coal shipments.
lly this statement it will be seen
that the country is fast gelling back
to normal production. There is prob
ably no better barometer as to the
trend of business than the amount
of freight handled by the railroads.
Mr. Child j also gave warning that
within the next 60 day! there may
! be a car shortage due to the fact that
l he nmnlier of cars in hart order is
surprisingly large, about 15 per ccnt.l
when the normal average is only
about 8 per cent.
Business Revival.
It will be seen by these figures
that business of the cottntry has re
vived and there is every reason to
i betieve that it will continue to im
1 nrove. Especially will this be true
' if congress will complete without de
lay the various projects it has in
: UnA .n that hnsiness wil lknow
I just where it ttands. There can be'
no dount nut mai mere is some Re
tardment in various lines at this time
because with the tariff bill in a
chaotic state business does not know
just what, move to .make. This
should be settled, however, at a rea
sonably early date, and it will have
its effect in adjusting some unset
tled phases of business at this time.
There can be no question but that
Omaha is reaping the profits of thu
improved conditions of business in
general. The improved conditions of
the aRricultural situation nave re
flected into the manufacturing and
jobbing institutions of the city. It
has also shown its effects in retail
trade. With a continuation of the
onward trend, fall and winter may be
expected to be normal in Omaha and
the adjacent territory.
Dependent on Farms.
Whether the business men realize
it or not. Omaha is dependent unon
the agricultural situation surrounding
it. Its trade territory is basically
agricultural. Therefore the business
of Omaha is agriculture, and any
movement which has for the devel
opment of agriculture means dollars
and cents to the business interests
of this city. It is the practice at the
present time of the Omaha business
men to render as" much assistance
as possible to the farmers. Not in
the way of giving advice, but prac
tical assistance which will return sub
stantial profits. ,
Omaha is a man-made city. Had
it not been that the first transconti
nental ruilfcad trted the river at
thit point Omaha might have hem
located at rome othrr point aliu
the river, It hold a uritrgical por
tion hrcauer of in railroad faeihtiri,
and buinr! men oi Onulu who ha l
vition from the urt have developed
the trade territory. Other cil'ci tip
and down the river might have been
the sie of Omaha and might have
become the remarkable bunno. ecu.
trr that Omaha ii. provided that they
had the vition. It i the foresight
and continunui elfort on the pari
of theie humien men that hat made
Omal.a what It it.
Muit Extend Territory.
The prosperity of the future will
be continued provided Omahi will
continue the development of the
trade territory. She trnitt work to
dig the trade channel! deeper. She
must extend tin? territory westward.
It is not enough to be satutifd with
the butineM of the immediate terri
tory. There arc competitive ftcldi
farther west which will open up for
the Omaha market provided they are
consistently worked. At the present
time some of the larger institution
are working these western field. It
will be necessary for tome of the
smaller inititutions lo join with the
arcer ones in developing the
Omaha market in this territory, Thc
larger institutions have always n
sisted the smaller ones in the de
velopment of the near by territory,
Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Idaho
and parts of Montana are Omaha
territory, providing umana manes n
so. Hundreds of buyers pass through
Omaha each week bound for eastern
markets for goods that might well be
purchased here. The increased de
velopment of the territory mentioned
will permit Omaha to become even
a greater business center. Omaha
is a market that has been developed
through trade extension tours, mar
ket week. Ak-Sar-Bcn, assistance
from the Chamber of Commerce and
persistent effort on the part of
Omalia men. An increased market
and a Rreater market city depends
cn the development of new territory
Foundation Solid.
There is every reason' to expect
that Omaha will continue to con
sistently arrow. It is not a boom
city, but its foundation is solid. A
city which is only 46th in popula
tion and yet has bank clearings
which run from 13th to 18th every
week in the United States indicates
a healthy business condition. This
will be increased provided Omaha
continues in the development of thc
outside territory, for no- city is

in a marked degree.
"It is a fact that many of the most progressive business

towels are delivered daily or at any interval desired.
Such a service is further removed from the old roller
