My co-operative organization is the greatest of its kind in - 1. the world made so by my special representatives in all parts of the United States , Canada and Mexico.

I say I CAN SHOW you how to branch out , start a business of your own , with practically no capital , and make a big success. Just get the red blood in your veins to moving and go after it tooth and nail It is your opportunity just what you have been looking for. TODAY it is yours yes YOURS. You know as well as I do that this is the age of real estate.

You can't show me a man who has no ambition and is satisfied with his present condition who ever achieved success. If I had been satisfied working in a factory in Monmouth , Illinois , I would be there now. The discontent with what you are doing now , and the ambition , grit and determination to accomplish more is what brings success , and the time to start and build your foundation to success is RIGHT NOW. HERBERT HURD , PRESIDENT , KANSAS CITY , MISSOURI GRAY REALTY nf\ . & XTV Make Maple Sugar Here. Norfolk has a sugar camp In full operation only a few blocks from the business section of the city. Sap from 100 maple trees Is dripping Into 200 tin buckets and already the "boiling down" of the sap has commenced. James Gray of South Fifth street and his son , Luke Gray , who own the the sugar bush , tapped 100 trees on their property and in Pasewalk's grove. A brick stove was built and already about fifty gallons of sap tak en from the- soft maple trees Is boil ing down to be turned to pure maple syrup or maple sugar. James Gray , who Is an old experienced Canadian sugar maker , and who claims the own ership of the only real hard sugar maple trees iii the county , says that , although he only produced thirty gallons lens of syrup from his maple trees last year , he will undoubtedly double that amount this year , owing to the additional trees tapped. A visit paid to Pasowalk's grove and Mr. Gray's property by a News rep resentative found Mr. Gray and his son busily engaged In boiling down the first sap , which they had just tak en from the trees this year. The scene , with the little buckets hanging on the trees and the boiler in full op eration , reproduced the. old eastern "sugar bush" in all its reality , not even letting out the swarm of boys who always inhabit the sugar bush. About three feet from the ground , the tree is "tapped" by boring a hole about a half-inch deep with an auger , on both sides. Little galvanized tin troughs are inserted in the holes and buckets of n gallon capacity are hung on the troughs. The sap from the roots and branches of the tree oozes from the holes and runs down the trough into the buckets , which are emptied into the boiler twice a day , morning and evening. According to Mr. Gray the tapping of these maple trees does not harm them in the least. "In fact , " said Mr. Gray , "it does the tree good. It helps take the sap out of it each year. The larg er the roots and branches , the more sap we get. Out of an ordinary tree we get from two to four gallons of sap , and estimate to make from one pint to two quarts of syrup to the tree , according to the size of the tree , its branches and roots. The soft maple plo here Is not as good as the hard sugar maple , but nevertheless wo make some very line syrup from these trees , which is almost as good as sy rup made In Canada from the regular sugar maple. " FIREMEN HOLD SOCIAL MEETING Hose Company Joint Meeting Ends With Feed In City Hall. The city hall last evening was the scene of merry making combined with business. The entertainment was giv en by the joint hose companies who hold this social meeting every month. Much regret was expressed by the hose men present at the small attend ance of all the hose companies and the failure of the hook and ladder mciu- bers In accepting their Invitation to participate in the social meetings giv en by the hose members. The question as to what prize is to be given the firemen who have the best record for being iirst with hose laid at a lire , which has been offered by the lire and police committee of the city council , was discussed. The firemen also appointed a committee to wait upon the fire and police commit tee to ascertain when the contest for the prize went Into effect , company No. 3 claiming three points to the good. They , however , are willing to start all over and take their chances with the rest , provided the committee sets a more recent date than when their scores were made. After the business part of the meet ing the firemen marched into the re ception room where a spread fit for the gods was awaiting them. Over their coffee the llremen discussed the question as to how fires should be put out and prevented. Cards followed , a pleasant evening being enjoyed. CORNER IN PORK ? South Omaha Men Think Market is Being Handled. Omaha , March 12. Fifteen dollar hogs ! That's the prediction made by a South Omaha man , who Is In close touch with the market. Ho says It will not surprise him if hogs go to $15 per 100 pounds "before the bubble bursts. " "Of course It is a bubble right now , " ho argues , "for even $10 is an unnatu ral price for hogs and it is not war ranted by natural conditions. So long as the price was going up a nickel or a dime at a time , It seemed like an outcome of the scarcity , but when It begins to jump by quarters , then the only rational conclusion Is that there's something back of It all more potent than Just supply and demand. "Who do I think it Is ? Well , It's somebody not far away from the Board of Trade buildings In Chicago. The South Omaha boys have had this in mind for several days , and arc keeping as close to shore as possible. It is the general belief hereabouts that one of the big packing firms , whoso name has been much in the papers of late , Is getting beautifully squeezed In a pork deal. The head of this firm thought when hogs touched $7 it was too high , and said ho was willIng - Ing to sell provisions on that basis. When the $8 mark was reached , ho was still of that opinion. Now It Is up to $10 and is going up by wild jumps. Ho Is said to have sold a lot of pro visions on the $7 and $8 basis , and just how ho is going to get out Is now keeping him up at nights. "Not n great deal of this $10 pork Is going Into the collars. The supply of hogs on the market is scarcely moro that what is required for the fresh meat trade , so that the actual stock of provisions Is not bolng ex tended by the costly pork. But a lot of stuff packed months ago is coming out now at tlio fancy figure. How long it will keep up can't be told ; but the short supply of hogs Is favorable to the corner that is apparently in full swing , and it's no wild guess to say that somebody's going to get an aw ful bump when the blow does fall. It will be worse than the lard deal one of the packers tried to pull off some years ago. His firm still has some of that lard for sale. " Hogs sold In South Omaha yester- aay for $10.45 , the highest price ever paid at the local yards. On other mar kets the upturn was still noticeable. Another feature of the situation is that animals that a year ago would not be looked at by the packers are being sold now at fairly good prices. For example , sheep that wouldn't have been touched last season , being worth less than a dollar a hundred , are now going at $4 and $4.50 , and cows that were being turned over to dairymen are being taken on by the packers at prices around $5 and $5.50. Norfolk Avenue Ordered Paved. The city council last night passed the ordinance ordering that Paving District No. 1 Norfolk avenue from the river to Seventh street be paved. This ends the paving work for thir ty days , during which period property owners have the right to designate to the council the material with which they desire the street paved. A ma jority of the property owners in the paving district , by coming to a deci sion and properly notifying the coun cil , may select the material they de sire and this decision will hold good. In case the property owners fail to so notify the council , the council will decide the material to be used. At the end of that time , the council will call a special bond election to vote bonds for the paving of the street intersections. Council Proceedings.

Thurston was in Omaha as the guest of Richard S Hall. He Is enroute west on a bus ! ness trip which will take him as fai as Phoenix , Ariz. "I should like very much to have moro time to spend in Omaha , " salt ! Senator Thurston. "Coming back 1 may be able to do so , but of that 1 cannot be certain. I shall bo In Ne braska next fall , however , to take t part In the campaign. " On the matter of insurgency in the west , the senator said he knew toe little to be able to speak at length of it. "This I do know , however : Presl dent Taft , before ho finishes his term is due to make the country realize that he is really a great man. H works slowly , but with a sure pur pose. He has a steady hand and si wise head and ho will develop his pol Icies and carry them into effect wltli a tenacity and determination that can not bo denied. "Many of the people of Omaha and Nebraska will remember that in 1894 when I. among others , was argulnp with Mr. Bryan , ho complained bit terly that prices wore too low , that wo must have high prices to benefit the farmer , and through him the whole country. Well , we luivo the higli prices now with a vengeance , and the farmer is getting his full share , not only through the $10 hog , but by all other avenues that run to the farm through what its owner has to sell. Surely the farmer will not back track on what he has been contend ing for a generation or more. "In those other days of the great fights in Nebraska the laborer and me chanic had little or no work and wages were not what they are today. At that time high wages was not the question , but men wanted any kind of work and any kind of wages. It may be admitted that living costs more today , as it does , but that does not change the fact . .hat the working of the McKlnley , the Dlngley and the Payne tariff measures has brought the prosperity to business and industry that Mr. Bryan was pleading for so mournfully in his early campaigns. "Prosperity always has a tendency to make people forget their days of tough sledding , but it will be an amaz ing thing If the fanners and the work ers can be made to take any stop backward toward the days of idleness , soup houses and low prices. " BABE'S STEPS TO RIVER. Bloodhounds Follow Trail Twice and Leave no Doubt of Fate of Boy. Worthing , S. D. , March 12. Traced to the edge of a swollen stream , a half mile from the homo of his par ents , there no longer remains any doubt that the little 2-year-old boy of Mr. nnd Mrs. J. W. Dickens lost his life by drowning. Thursday afternoon the bloodhounds brought here by Elmer Noffsinger from Beatrice , Neb. , were taken to the Dickens' home , and starting from the doorway where the little tot was last seen by the mother , they traveled n distance of more than a mile to a point In the field on the bank of the creek. Not being satisfied with the one trial , the spectators asked the owner of the hounds to make a sec ond. They were started In at the house and followed accurately the first course nnd stopped on the bank of the swollen stream , leaving no further doubt of the fate which overtook the little boy. The stream is being drag ged , but exploration for nearly a mile below the place where the victim fell in falls to reveal the body. The search Is still kept up with a large number of friends and neighbors , whc have spent nearly all of the past three days In the search.
