16 THE BBEi OMAHA, RATI RD AY, JANUARY 10, 1014. SO FEAR OF ARGENTINE CORN Grain Hen Say Shipment is Not a Drop in the Backet. ONE COUNTY RAISES MORE Ther Snr the Shipment linen Mot Jantltr tht? Recline' In Price Which Wan Kelt .an Chicago Mnrket Thnrmlnr. Neither Omaha railroads nor cratn men re alarmed on account ot the shipments of corn that have begun to come to tho United States from Argentlno on account of the removal of the duties of the cereal raised abroad. The grain men point to the receipts ot 800,000 bushels and the K.OO0.O0O additional bushels afloat as being ao Insignificant In quantity that they are not worthy of consideration. The entire shipments, they say, do not aggregate as much of the crop of one ot the conn ties of Nebraska during a normal year. Drain men Add that the receipt of the Argentine corn docs not justify the de cline In price In Chicago Thursday and that a not tho real cause for tho drui. They say that what Is forcing the corn down Is tho fact that tho spread between wheat and corn hns been too wide. Corn, they add, Is now getting down where it should be, with tho prospect exce'.lcnt for the crop ot grain of alt kinds next season. Would Sot Affect Price.. Railroad men contend that IC .Argent'ne "at 1U entire corn crop to the United Btatea It could have but little effect upon prices In this country. They take the position that tho United 8ta(es Is growing so rapidly that if the population Increases as rapidly during tho next ten years as It has In the last, the corn raising nrca hero would not raise enough of the cereal to supply the home consumption. They look to see eonio of the cereal and food products mills along tho Atlantic coast use the Argentine corn, but do not think much, If any of It will get Into the In terior. Discussing the outlook, the railroad men aro of the opinion that the market for Nebraska corn will always continue strong, and that as tho country Increases In population (ho nearby market will keep getting better and at the same time tho market to tho south Will bo widened, furnishing an outlet for all corn raised In Nebraska and nearby states.

U. Office on Roller Skates A school of roller skating was estab. tithed Tuesday in the telegraph operators' room ot the Western Union, on the slx teenth floor of the Woodman of the World building, and Is being conducted night and day under the direction of J. W. Dudley, chief operator. The school Is being run to perfect rlvo girls and hoys in the gentle art of rolling, In order that the efficiency of the message re lay servlco may be Increased and the time required (or relaying may be cut down. Indications are that the Innova tion will be entirely successful. "The only trouble la that the skaters enjoy It too much," sid W. J. Ihtsland, one ot tho hcadi ot the department. "Skating makes their work so plcasnnt and easy that when they get ahead of their work they aro liable to take n Joy roll down the aisle, Just for the fun of It." Ruth Anderson and Margaret Erlek eon, IS and ptetty, are the day skatorlat artists, while ahi Wlntroub and Joe Kuklen, aro on the night "sltate, ' with Earl Kahre to relieve them and roll out the work during the wee small hours They all say tho roller skate make t MAY EVADE PARCEL POST Business House Clerks Have Found Way to Circumvent Law. WOULD USE WRONG ADDRES3 Ily Hemline t'ncUwjtes to flordcr of Third .one rtnil Later llnvliix II I'orvrnrded to Declination In Adjacent one. If tho mafl order business of Omaha business houses becomes extens'lve In the employment of tho parcel post, It seems likely that accountants will learn the legal way to circumvent the postal regu lations and send matter Into the fourth zone without paying the full fourth zone rate. This can now be done by sending the packages to any town near the outsldo limit of tho third zone and there again mailing it to. a town , in the sec Aid zone. When packages are so sent and relayed a saving of from 1 to IS cents a package ,may he made, depending on tho size ot the package, because tho second zo.no rate added to the third zone rate Is less than the fourth zono rate. The limit ot the second zono Is approximately 100 miles, Tho limit ot tho third Js 300 miles, and ot the fourth COO miles. In the event that tho destination ot a package were tuoro than SOO miles and less than 430 miles from Omaha, the system ot relay ing tho parcel will result In a saving ot from 1 to IS cents each on packages, weighing from six to twenty pounds. A package ordinarily mailed to a point more than 3X) miles from Omaha would bo required to pay tho'fourth zone rate. Any distance up to 100 may, be covered by remalllng the package as described above and the difference between the original postago tp tho third zone, and from there to the destination In the sec ond zone from that point, added together, nroylesa than the original postage would nave ucen to mo acnimawon which wouia be In tho fourth zono from tho office fit which tho mall originated, 1'oatmastera aro required to forward packages wrongly addressed, when post age Is supplied by tho sender nnd If many heavy parcels were sent It would pay the firms mailing them to Intentionally ad drew them to thu Wrong office nnd then send postage and ItaS'e thim forwarded to their proper destinations'.

As every second counts In the relay work, tho Western Union officials are highly elated with the possibility of a thirty :er cr.nt cut In the time' required. A number of other girls and boys will bo trained to efficiency In skating on the relay work, so that the Increase In cffl cli ncy1 , may be continued. Tho skaters are rill between 1$ and IS years of age. and were familiar with the sport befoitf tho Western Union adopted the skating scheme." so they only have to learn to navigate successfully up and down the alslqs and around the turns, without din turldng tho many wire operators on every nand.

The J16P.CO0. Police Commissioner Ityilcr says, will fumlMi sufficient money to build two Incinerator plants and pun chasa locations. ' "We will build the plants on the unit Plan If the bonds carry." said Commis sioner' Ilye'er, "so that they can be In erased In size as is necessary , nt a minimum expense," 'Commissioner Hyder believes tho plants will represent small outlay .for operating expenses. No attempt will be made to conserve, by-products, but the ashes will be sold for fertilizer. Several requests have already been received for these ashes and If the bonds sre voted they will be sold on contract. Commissioner Ityder spent somo time last year Investigating Incinerator plant In the east and became convinced that this was the only safe and sanitary method of disposing of garbage.

The most noticeable change In price this week was the drop of 3 cents In the cost of fresh eggs. Fresh eggs are now selling at 33 cents a dozen, whereas last week they brought 29' cents a dozen. The re turn of the mild weather, which Is always an (ncentlve for hens to lay frequently, brought about the drop and eggs will probably continue to drop If the mild weather continues.

FINAL WINDUP Lambert Denies Rumors of Delay in Dollar Gas Case Rumors of further delays In the dollar gaa case. In which the Omaha Gas com pany seeks to Invalidate an ordinance reducing the prlco of gas from $1.15 to $1 per l.QOO cubic feet, were denied by Assistant City Attorney W. C Lambert. "The caso will come to trial within tho next few weeks,' sard City Attorney Lambert "Unless, the gas company takos n new tack, which we aro not expecting, there will be no further delays. We aro ready to fight the case out and will re sist any attempt at delay." The death of "W. D. Marks, the city's appraisal expert, will not Interfere with the trial. If the gas company attacks Mark's figures another expert will ho asked to Investigate and approve the method Marks pursued. It is understood that the gas company will make no attempt to forco the lsstio on the value of the gas company's prop erty, which Marks reported at 'one-half the valuation On which the company hail been paying taxes,-'or $1,500,000.
