Nebraska dollar volume dropped 4.4 percent and physi cal volume, 1.2 percent, accord ing to the report put out month ly by the college of Business Administration. The report how ever, cautions that the indica tions may be false because of the up and down trend all year. Retail sales in November were generally down from October as well as from the previous year. But the result was not entirely true in Cass county. Retail sales in Cass county were actually up 3.5 percent from November 1952, but dropped 3.4 percent under Octo ber, the report shows. Cass was one of four counties to show an increase from the previous year. Only two counties had November business increases over October, the report indicates. Cattle raisers should see that supernumerary teast are re moved from calves at four to six months of age. If done by per sons skilled in surgery the oper ation should produce no complications. ..:-:r?--j: .;:: : :y '.. .v y-yy x -yyy, -:::Yi...':. .
