MANLEY NEWS Business called Mr. and Mrs. John C. Rauth to Lincoln one day last week, they making the trip in their car. Mrs. Herman Bergman is reported improving from a very severe attack of the flu that kept her down for several days.

Rauth. Mesdames Huse and Rauth are sisters. They drove back to Om aha the following morning, and con cluding their business in the metropo lis continued on home. Stockyards Dismantled An example of the changing modes of transportation is brought close to home with the dismanteling of the stock yards and loading chutes that for years were maintained here by the Missouri Pacific railroad. Late years have witnessed the shipping of stock to market almost exclusively by truck and the road has found lit tle if any need for its yards, as the commercial truckers have gone direct to the farms after the stock. So, it is but natural that the rail road should conclude to do away with the loading pens and they have been torn down and the lumber moved to Falls City. It is a part of our changing method of doing business, just as the rail roads came to supplant the overland trains and the pony express. Nothing can be done but accept the inevitable situation that has arisen. And so Manley is deprived of its stock yards and loading chutes, that in the last few years have only con stituted additional property on which to pay taxes so far as the railroad company was concerned.
