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.

"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.

Pains taking hours of practice on that Christmas ukulele from "Dad" will not bo without reward and that freshman 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 ing nightingales below, which will be in working order the night of the first spring serenade, while the Alpha Phi's claim to have a more original method of dealing with the serenaders which must be tried out.
