Approximately TOO men will be needed
for tho local ice harvest today. This
number will he Increased by 3 Thurs
day, unless the weather should turn
warm.
The Cudahy Tacking company has
fctarted marking off its Ice fields on Sey
mour lake, at Halston. Swift & Co., and
the Umalm Ice and Cold storaxe company
began marking ice at Cut-off lake. All
three companies plan to start the har
vest today. The Omaha Ice and Cold
Storage company will need about l. men;
Swift & Co., 2i0 men. and the Cudahy
1'acklng company, 2")0 men.
Armour & Co. are clearing the snow
from their Ice at Memphis, expect to
maik It tonay and to bcKln cutting
Thursday. They will need from 3v0 to
K0 men.
Ice on Cut-Off lake Is cluht to n ne
Inches thick. When it Is marked, the air
will enter the crevices made by the plow
and add one to two inches to the thick
ness. The ice at Memphis Is not so thick,
by an Inch, as the Cut-Oft Ice, so Armour
& Co. are a day behind the others with
their Ice harvest operations.
Several smaller companies are busy
marking un Cut-Off lake and buslns ad
joining the lake.
A full Ice crop for Omaha and South
Omaha is about 400.000 tons, the capacity
of the storage houses. This year, on ac
count of the low water, the concerns
operating on Cut-Off lake fear they will
not get their houses filled unless the
weather allows two cuttings of ice.

The Northwestern Is working as many
men as it can handle on the reservoirs at
Belle Fourche, Hapid City, S. 1). and at
Valentine and Long Pine, Neb., where
lurge ice houses are located. The present
cutting of South Iiakuta ice Is suld to
be about fifteen Inches in thickness,

Abandonment of the custom of having
all Douglas county district court criminal
cases tried before the presiding judge, a
custom which lias been In vogue for
years in the district court, has been de
cided uimn by the Judges. lteglnnlng
with tho February term of court a new
plan will be put In effect which the
Judges believe will result In less waste of
time and bring cases to trial more ex
peditiously than In years.
Criminal cases will be tried by the
three regular law division Judges as well
as by the judge of the criminal court and
the Judge of the criminal court will try
civil as well as crlmtit.il cases.
Heretofore it has been the business of
the presiding judge to assign cases for
trial to the Judges of the law division and
to try all criminal cases In his capacity
of Judge of the criminal division. When
there have been no criminal cases ready
for triiil the criminal division Judge has
had practically nothing to do except at
tend to his duties as presiding Judge.
Frequently parties and attorneys In civil
suits have been anxious to get to trial,
but unable to do so because all the law
courts huve been busy und the criminal
division Judge has been trying no civil
cases. At other times no civil cases have
been ready for trial and the law division
Judges have been Idle while the criminal
division Judge lias been swmrd with
work.
When the new plan Is put In effect
criminal and civil law cases will be as
signed Indiscriminately to all the law
courts and the crlmal court.
All the' Judges will co-operate to secure
greater expedition In the court. At
torneys' pleas for continuances on trivial
grounds will not be listened to. Cases
will be forced to trial as soon as the
Issues ure mude up and the judges will

ability, smoothness of
operation, silence, ele
gance and power.
It made a deserved reputation
in 1911 as the one really Im
proved automobile shown at
the big shows and added lustre
to the thirteenth year of Olds
mobile fame. The new series,
improved to the minute in
engineering and in elegance of
equipment, surpasses any
thing we. have ever seen in
the form of an automobile.
One must see this car to
complete an automobile
education in the artistic
development of the body lines;
one must ride in it to appre
ciate what advances have been
made in easy-riding ability;
one must drive it to under
stand the pleasure of a really
responsive and flexible engine.
We are always ready to
demonstrate these facts.

Causes of Typewriter Noise
A writer in a recent publication, divided type
writer noise, i. e, that referring to the typewriter
itself, like old Gaul, into three parts.
Fir6t, that produced by the spacing mechanism.
Second, that produced by the impact of the typo
against the platen.
Third, that produced by the shifting of the car
riage to make capitals.
An analysis of these divisions, with reference to
the "Smith Premier," discloses:
Ab to tho first (thy noise produced by the ipacing
mechanism) the Smith Premier is as quiet, if not
more quiet, than any.
As to the second (the noise produced by the im
paet of the type against the platen) it' is less on
the Smith Premier than on any other, because tho
Smith Premier prints with a high tpeed, light
weight, single type bar, against a platen, firmly
supported in a rigid carriage.
As to the third--(that produced by the shifting
of the carriage, or basket, to make capitals)
there is no such noise on the Smith Premier, be
cause it has no shift.
Come Into our office or send for our man to go to your of
fice and have a demonstration. You are entitled to knowledge about
this machine you may have It. too. without danger of repeated
dosaa until you become sorry you Inquired. We don't "harass."
