' am THE FALLS CITY TRIBUNE , FRIDAY , APRIL 24 , 1908. Farmers Receive High Prices for Dairy Products. There are approximately i > ,000 creameries in tlie United States , making a total of 5,000,000 II.s. of butter annually. The average net price per pound paid fanners for butter fat ranged from 4 to 5 cents higher in 1M07 than in D0t- ( This would bean increased return of 20 to 25 million dollars to the patrons for the 3 car just passed. An interesting thing about the creamcrv business is the fact that 1,800 of the 0,000 creameries arc co-operative plants , and the num ber of co-operative creameries is constantly growing. The greater number of creameries that have gone out of business for one reason or another in the past few years have been the individual creamer ies , owned by individuals or cor porations. Something over a thousand creameries , mainly in the middle Northwest have reported the results of the past year's business to the department of agriculture. These reports arc nearly all from sections where the local creamery ( cither co-operative or individual ) predominates. Careful estimates have been made from these re ports which show that the net price paid farmers for butter fat at these creameries averaged be tween 28 and 2'J cents for the year 1007. The lowest price paid was in June , when the average was between 24 and 25 cents. These prices are true only for tlie local creamery which receives its cream or milk direct from farmers' wagons where there is neither commission to pay for buying cream nor freight or ex press charges for transporting it to the churning plant. Commis sion and freight average from 2 to 3 cents per pound. Farmers selling cream to agents who have to ship the cream to distant churning points may expect to re ceive 2 and 3 cents less per pound for butter fat than prices paid by local creameries. The United States department of agriculture is desirous of get ting additional intormntion con cerning the net returns farmers are receiving , where by reason of of their location they are obliged to sell through cream-buying agencies rather than to a local creamery. It is requested that all farmers willing to assist the department of agriculture in securing information mation on this point will mail to the department at their earliest convenience a report of the net price per pound received by them for butter fat for each month dur ing 1'JOT. If original statement slips giving price per pound can be forwarded these will be copied and returned upon request. Correspondence should be ad dressed to the Dairy Division , United States Department ol Agriculture , Washington , D0. . Market Letter. Kansas City Slock Yards , April 20 , 1'XKS. The treatment given the cattle market to-day in the shape every very light receipts at all poinU has been most beneficial , price ? are 10 to 15 cents higher. The market continued unsatis factory nearly all of last week due to the fact that coolers an well supplied with heavy cuts of beef which have been slow to tnovo. Heavy steers therefore got the greatest decline last week 20 to 25 centsj while light steers and the stuff lost only a small amount. There was some im provement Thursday and Friday as the supply was small. With light runs almost a certainty for the next several week prices should not go any lower , but on the other hand with the decline prosperity latelv particularly in east no great increase in con sumptive demand can be expeted- Prices are still at a money-making basis for the feeders and the only ones to get scorched since the re action set in is the speculators. The supply to-day is 6,000 head , smallest run for many months on Monday , nothing choice here , top steers Sft.ho , bulk Sfi to fi.55 , cows $3.50 to 5.40 , heifers $4.50 to C..25 . , bulls $3.40 to 5.25 , calves $3.75 to 0.00 , stockcrs $3.00 to 5.40 , feeder $4.HO to 5.05. Host demand from the country is for good light weight slockcrs and ilcshy feeders are slow to move. The hog market made a net loss of 21 cents per hundred last week , although closing a little better than the low time , presu mably with the idea of stimulat- ng heavy marketing this week H receipts dropped off after the niddle of the week. The supply 5,000 to-day light for Mon- ay ; market 5 to 10 cents higher , op $5.80 , bulk $5.55 to 5.75. Sup- ily last week was 58,000 head nbout the same as corresponding veek last year , but several housand less than run first of he week indicated. Receipts for Vpril show a small increase over ame days last April. Packers complain loudly of poor sale for he product and argue against ) robability of much higher price * Sheep and lambs closed last week with a small net loss and with a general feeling of wcak- icss , The supply has been liber- il , showing a good increase over > ame period in April last year , the run is good to day 10.000 lead , market 5 to 10 cents lower. Best woolcd lambs sold at $7.45 to-day , clipped weathers $5.75 , ewes bS.35. grass Texas muttons worth $4.75 to 5.75 , goats $3.50 to125. . The same complaints ol stagnant markets is made re pecting mutton as other kinds ol meats. Mollycoddles. The eminent authority on adol cscence , G. Stanley Hall appears in a magazine article as a chain pion of corporal punishment obeys boys , but for a different rcasoi than is usually assigned. He would have the boys of ou race be a hardy , self-reliant lo and whenever a pampered molly coddle shows his Fauntlcroy head among them Dr. Hall would take a bed-slat and make him ac quainted with grief , thus bring ing him in touch with the hard things of this life and training him in the uses of adversity. We can see the argument all right and there is something in it. A lady-like boy is an abomi nation in the sight of everybody but his poor young mother. Hut it will be observed that Dr. G. Stanley Hall would tharsh out of him the very thing that his moth- c to loan on good farm security. Call on or write l * i i IL IT H t 1 1 Office Over Korncr's Hardware Store k V Falls City , Nebraska or mid his school teacher would thrush into liini , namely , the gen tle amenities of the parlor tea party. It will also be observed that we might save trouble by turning the mollycoddles and the Iltick Finn kind together and letting them lick each other. World-Herald. Majors For The Senate. Kansas may boast of a "Sock- less Jerry , " but it is up to Ne braska to furnish a checkered shirted Tom. The Lincoln Star has this to say of a new bee found in his bonnet : One of the interesting political announcements of the week just closed comes from Peru , Nebras ka , to the effect that Thomas J. Majors intends to try for election to the next State senate. Some political pyrotechnics may be ex pected if this proves to be true for there is no other man in Ne braska who can draw more lire oren on the other hand command a stronger measure of support from his friends than the pictur esque "Tom Majors of Peru. " Mr. Majors was for years in the thick of all political fights in this State. lie had a few distin guished enemies who made things hum whenever he sought prefer ment and no doubt has fallen heir to the enmity of some of those who represent the foes of other years. Majors is a fighter and in the State senate he would be tie of the commanding figures. The most attractive features of lis candidacy is that he will help o make merry a campaign that night otherwise lack lively inci- lents. Majors running for the State senate will mean busy times ARENA 16105 , HIIJ Horse ) Trotting race record 'Irtl heiit of ? winning race in 2 Ili4 trial 2U8l : , las1 naif in 102 , has trotted dozen quarters in !

The American population , from the greybeards down , is interest ed in a contest for athletic su premacy such as lately took place between the great wrestler of America and the great wrestler of Kuropc. We follow the prep arations for the battle , and we rejoice when the palm of victory oes to the American representa- ive. Hut there are some things which ve would like to forget in collection ection with the wrestling match 11 Chicago. Tlie Kuropcan ath- ete has sailed for his home across he waters and he sailed with the ame opinion that he formed on he mat in Chicago , namely , that Vmericans arc not gentlemen and re not fair. What real found a- ion he may have for this opinion s a question of fact and we have 11 the facts. The American vrestler may not have been at ault in any way we do not know , nit the visitor came out of the ontest with his eyes bruised and cratched up and he says the Vinerican used his fists and fin ger nails to that end. The yisi or was hissed by the American udience when he had not done nything to be hissed for and it lurt his feelings. lie sa's he was compelled to do all his train- ng for the contest in his room at he hotel and was insulted in a hicago atheltic club. We are not acquainted with all he facts in the matter , but it is rue that American sporting men ind audiences are not always as egardful of the amenities , not to say the proprieties toward a vis- ting adversary as they might be. This robs us of some of the joy which we could otherwise feel over the victory. World-Herald. Blind Girl Learns Typewriter. The modern education of blind children aims to give to thorn the capacity to become wage earners. The system has been especially successful at the New York State school for blind the at Uatavia. Not only has it trained a large lumber of young men and womcr along industrial lines enabling them to earn their living , but it las also four graduates going through college , some of them earning their way. It has opened the way to the employment of blind persons as [ stenographers and typewriters. Miss Elizabeth G. Miller of Buffalo , is said to be the first blind woman to earn her living by stenography. To quote O. II. Burritt , superintendent of the Batavia school who directed her training , there is "no other young woman who is totally blind who is similarly employed anywhere in the United States or anada. " But the girl who would follow in her steps must possess the genuis of hard work , unlimi ted patience and at least be endowed dewed with intelligence eqiml to the average. A great misfortune of the blind is their frequent feebleness of mind. Miss Miller worked hard to ac quire her ability to compete with her seeing sisters. She had the handicap of being obliged to use a shorthand writing machine , where the seeing writer is bur dened only with pencil and pad. Miss Miller must write her notes in embossed dots , the lan guage of the blind known as Braille , the dots must be trans lated into written language at the typewriter. The picture of Miss Miller dictating in the office of the Batavia school before she secured work in a mercantile house gives a fair idea of what the Braille typewriting machine is- Miss Miller has passed the same tests given to seeing students of stenography. Before her gradu ation from Batavia at the regents' ' examinations she passed with honor both the 50 and the 100- word-a-minute test prepared by the department of education of he State. Then cams a long and trying eriod of waiting before the head f areponsiblc business establish- ! nent had sufficient faith in her vork to give her a place. She is iow earning $10 a week in a tner- antile house in Buffalo and liv- ng at home is practically inde- endent. Christian Church.

Humor may not be a sixth sense or a seventh , but it ought to be one of the senses of a well-order ed human being. The man who uts no sense of humor and who joes ; humorless and laughtcrless through his dreary existence may lave the comfort of knowing that inimnls do not laugh and that he bra } ' of the donkey comes icarcst an expression of laughter n the animal creation. He may : iave comfort if he wants it , but : ic should not want it. The thor oughly serious man is of a piece with the patient and somber post hat stands in the ground and lolds up part of a fence until it rots off. He has a mission but it s not a specially enviable one. Blessed are the cartoonists , the satirists and the fun-makers for by enlarging on our follies and foibles they awaken us to thier elements of the ridiculous. Bless ed is the saving grace of humor. For where humor is treason finds no fertile soil , deceit nourishes not , hypocrisy withers and dies , greed is tempered and reason rules. Exchange. A Falls City school girl was required to write an essay of 250 words about an automobile. She submitted the following : "My uncle bought an automobile he was riding out toward Bena- do when it busted going up a long hill. I guess this is about fifty words. The other 200 are what my uncle said while he was walking back to town but they are not fit for publication.1' - THE BOWELS AND WORK OFF A COLD a WITH THE ORIGINAL BEE'S LAXATIVE COUGH SYRUP.
