Endangers Wheat,
Says N. B. Updike
Spring Wintis Will Be Disas
(rous Without Rain. Asserts
Omahan Back from
Cuba and South.
X. B. Updike, head of the Updike
Grain company, who returned a few
days ago from a trip which included
Cuba and some of.the southern states,
is vitally interested in better prices
for tile grain growers of this state.
11s stated that cotton prices in the
south have reached a level com parti
ble with prewar prices, whereas he ob
serves that corn today will buy only
half as much cotton as it would In
19l3.
"I never, since y lived in Nebras
kaj heard-so much about dry weather
as we are hearing at the present
time,” said Mr. Updike. ' Farmers in
general are very pessimistic over the
wheat crop. It is hard to find one
that thinks his wheat will make mote
than 30 per emt of a crop if we had
plenty of moisture from now on. If
we do not- get rain before our spring
winds start, I believe Nebraska will
not raise much wheat this year, as
the ground is as dry as powder and
the wind would be very disastrous.”
"I agree that March will be a criti
cal month for the wheat,” said Jo
seph IT. Wright, jr., of the Nobras
ka-Iowa Grain company, "if wo can
maintain the present values of wheat
at $1 and corn at tin cents, I believe
that the farmers will be In much bet
tertfinancial condition next year, pro
vided they raise another crop. As to
wheat, there must be a demand in
excess of the supply to obtain high
prices. Wheat is different from cot
ton-in that there is more competi
tion in the marketing of the former.”
Edward G. Taylor of the Taylor
8w$nick Grain company asserted that
this is a critical time for wheat In
Nebraska.
Farmers in the district around Uottp
City are holding their grain on an
count of conditions, and I believe
they will get better prices. I agree
that, the piircnuvng power of wheat
and grain for cotton or machinery is
only nbout one half of what it was
during prewar period.”
Cbmnicntlnfr fttttner on the situa
tion, Mr. Updike said:
‘‘I believe that the United States
will be able to use whpt wheat the
farmers ratse this year without ex
porting very much regardless 6f vvliat
happens from now on."
Use a fork when creaming blitter
and sugar? and the process will be
hastened?

Leavenworth. Kan., Feb. 27.—They;

thy Daniel Murphy a bit.
“Big Tim," famous "joiner.” was
still "Big Tim” after he had affiliated
himsulf. by government request, with

“dressed in” as prisoner 1S990.
Mr. Murphy, distinguished in well

prison yesterday.
“So this is the hoarding house. Some

strutted, imperious as a peacock, up

"Hey, you bozoes, be sure youse

and the. prisoner beginning a four

a game smile.
The denim uniform made “Big Tim" 1
awkward; the rule book orders made |
him humble, the guards saw to it '
that he was a “pattern” man," but hoi
was still tile genial, picturesque boss i
to the prisoners who maneuvered for
a place near him. Guards boasted that
they knew him, life-timers almost gig
gled as he exchanged Jokes with (he
boys he knew.

Consolidation ol
Railroad Lines
Carl Gray of Union Pacific
Says Linking System Willi
Northwestern W o u I <1
Prove Advantageous.
Washington, Feb. 26.—Prospects for
consolidation of western and south
western railroads, which have been
tentatively prepared since the passage
of the transportation act. were favor
ably discussed by officials of major
carriers in that territory appearing
before the Interstate Commerce com
mission.
Carl Gray of Omaha, president of
the Union Pacific, said the linking
up of that system with the present
line of tlie Chicago & Northwestern
would probably work out (o advant
age, inasmuch as the two carriers at
present interchange a large volume
of their traffic. The Union Pacific
which lias hitherto sought to have
the Central Pacific included with Hi
in any consolidation protect, would
now be satisfied to leave that line to
the Southern Pacific, which owns it
at present, under terms of a recent
decision providing for traffic inter
change between railroads involved.
Hewis J. .Spencer, director of lruffle
for the Southern Pacific, which, under
the government consolidation plan,
would he combined with the Rock
Inland, stressed the necessity which
he said existed for keeping all the
component parts of the first named
railroad together in any consolidation.
The Rock Island could he merged
with the Southern Pacific safely, he
concluded, only if tire atlantic steam
ship lines of the southern system
were continued in operation with the
railroad as at present. Th° Central
Parifio, likewise, ha contended must
ho included in the new combination
as it has been held in the Southern
Pacific system, in order to provide
efficient transportation machinery.
T, M. Sohmacher, president of the
Ml Paso and Southwestern while hav
ing no particular objection to the
proposals to consolidate his lme In the
Rock Island-Southern Pacific merger,
said (he whole theory of < onsollda
(ion was wrong. It would, In his
opinion, decrease competition, lower
efficiency and bring into existence
transportation units too unwieldy
and cumbersome for management.

Lost Tapestries
Found in Home of
J. D. Rockefeller
Works of Art W oven in 1 450
for Duke of de la Roche
foucauld Hanging in Rcsi
dense of Oil Magnate.
New York, Fell. 27.—Six tapestries
woven about 1450 for the Duke de la
Rochefoucauld, the whereabouts of
which recently was made the subject
of an official inquiry in Paris, are
hanging In the home of John D.
Rockefeller, jr., the New Yorlf Eve
ning Post said it had learned yester
day.
According to the newspaper. tli»
tapestrlA were shown In the Ander
son galleries here last November and
admission was by card only. On the
third day the tapestries were sudden
ly withdrawn by an American collec-,
tor for $1,000,000.
Although something of a mystery
was made of the matter at the time,
no general interest was aroused un'il
disappearance of Jhe tapestries was
noted in Paris and the Don Soir and
other publications addressed various
questions to the minister of fine arte,
with the usual protest against France 1
losing Its art treasures.
Controversy then developed over the
question of whether Count Gabriel de !
la Rochefoucauld ever had promised
not to permit the historic tapestries
| to leave France, and whether a sale
would not violate French law.
Miles Bosworth. architect, admitted
that the tapestries had been pur
chased by Mr. Rockefeller through
himself as agent. He declared, how
ever, that the tapestries were now in
transit from London and had never
been in the Rockefeller home.
