MILK IN NORFOLK HENCEFORTH
IS CC PER QUART.
CREAM JUMPS TO TWENTY-FOUR
More Prosperity Has Arrived for Mr.
Nebraska Farmer Around Norfolk.
He Could Get Enough for Butter-Fat
to Beat Old Milk Price.
Milk 1ms Joined the upward pro.
cession. First It was thread , then In
terest rates , then meat , now milk , nil
cost more this fall than they did last
spring. Norfolk milk men who Inst
week niul In times pnst sold milk nt
five cents a quart have added an extra
penny to their charge. Milk was ntl
vunced this week in Norfolk from five
to six cents. The price of cream waa
pushed up from twenty cents to
twenty-four cents.
The milk retailers explain that the
advance results from the great cream'
cry business that is growing up in
the northwest. Conditions arc such ,
it is said , that if the price of milk did
not go up farmers would cease bring
ing milk to town , preferlng to realize
a greater profit In selling butter-fat tc
the creameries and making one or two
trips a week Instead of the dally jour
ney to town with fresh milk.

WAVE OF INDECENT CARDS HAS
REACHED NORFOLK.
ARE SENT TO WASHINGTON
The Norfolk Postoffice Hna Begun tc
De Bothered With Obscene Posl
Cards , All of Which Are Destroyed
Has Become Chicago Pest.
The Indecent post card nuisance
which has been bothering poHtolIlce
people In Chicago for some weeks , lint
swept westward until the edge of the
wave Is Just lapping up against Nor
folk. A few of tills clnHS of post cardf
have bjjcn conflHcnted In the Norfolli
postofllco and sent to Washington
where they are destroyed.
The postal oillclals have the right tc
seize and destroy any obHceno picture *
or other matter neiit through the mails ,
It might go hard with the senders II
they were found out.
There Is a largo class of rather vul *
gar post cards which can hardly be
said to be obscene , and many of these
continue to go through the malls.
It Is said that the suggestive and
Indecent post cards In Chicago have
filled bushel bankets when confiscated

HELPS SMALL CREAMERIES.
New Rates In Nebraska Will Benefll
Norfolk Industry.
Norfolk as a creamery center wll
bo benefited by the schedule of crean
rates announced by the state rnlhviij
commission this week. The rates are
placed on a mileage basis and replace
the old special rales.
Short haul tariffs arc reduced ant
long haul tariffs altered and subjectei
to some Increase. Whllo Norfolk wll
benefit by the now rates as agalnsi
Omaha competition the new schedule
will ntlll not be quite ns favorable as
the Norfolk and other north Nebrns
1m creameries had hoped for. Thus
under the now schedule a ten galloi
can Is transported 1120 miles for 2) )
cents and 240 miles for 38 cents. This
It Is pointed out , Is an improvement
over the old schedule but still means
that after ten gallons of cream has
been shipped to Norfoll ; at a cost o
28 cents it cost only 10 cents more U
send it on to Otnnlm. But the differ
ence formerly was less.
What Is thought to be the dilef merl
of the new schedule is that shipment !
can be made to any town from anj
other town and the same rate will be
effective in each combination. The
rates are strictly on the mileage basis
There will bo no special rates te
Omaha , Lincoln and other cities will
centralizing creameries. The commls
slon announced that there will be 810 ,
000 combinations that can bo riind <
under the new schedule. Under the
special rates in effect now , 357 sta
tions have the benefit of the specials
Under the new distance tariff , eacl
station has the advantage of the rates
