Live stock shipments within 'the
state of Nebraska during the fiscal
railroad year ended. June 30, 1915,
amounted to 65,284 carloads, being
nearly 7,000 carloads more than the
preceding year. Shipments of live stock
from Nebraska to other states aggre
gated 41,970 cars, an Increase of nearly
3,000. ,
Lumber shipments, both state and
interstate, have been decreasing al
most steadily for the past six years.
Last year the number of cars shipped
within Nebraska was 2,028, being less
than in any former year since 1908, in
clusive, and only one-fourth as many
as In 1911. The shipments of lumber
received from other states last year
came to 21.586 carloads, which was the
lowest number in eight years.
Coal shipments in Nebraska for tho
fiscal year of 1914-15 were only 1.158
carloads, or only a little over half as
many as in the preceding annum.
Shipments from outside the state to
Nebraska, however, reached 71,721 car
loads being 5.000 more than the year
before and the largest of any year
except 1913.
The foregoing figures are exhibited
in a tabulation made up In the office or
the state railway commission.

"The Melting Pot"
At this time "The Melting Pot" is
particularly appropriate. All the world
is looking to America as the land of
hope. Such is the picture that Israel
T. Zangwill has painted in his won
derful work. America stands for the
land of relief from the sufferings of
the old world. Russian and Jew, Ital
ian and Greek, see here a land of
promise. To them it means a new
home, with new standards of living,
with brighter prospects for a livelihood,
and greater opportunities for the edu
cation of their children. All these
things and more the great author has
woven into this play.
While we see something of the sor
did background from which these alien
millions come, we but begin to appre
ciate the hope the new home brings.
We can see as through a glass dimly
the struggle they are making against
new surroundings to prove themselves
worthy of the citizenship which this
new and great land is giving them.
Out of this seething mass there is to
come a new world citizen, more cap
able and more serviceable. The amal
gamation of the hatreds of the old
world are fusing the Incoming multi-

However, this report is only rumor,

who has developed the high tenor
voice will be amply repaid for his ef
forts. The Pi Phi's have a new dumb
waiter which carries fudge from a
second-story window to tha tantaliz

in working order the night of the first
