EXPECTS MORE CORN ACREAGE Winter Wlirnt In In Ksrrllrnt ("on. illllnn mid There Was I'rnctl cnllr 2Vo I.o of I.Itc StocW Durlns the Winter. Genernl Manager HoldroKO of the Burl ington Is In from an Inspection tour that took Iilm over practically all of the corn pany lines wot of the Missouri river. Always an optimist. Mr. Holdrego re turn fcollng more optimistic than ever over the crop outlook ana the live stock i-ondltions. Speaking of the situation, ho says: "Winter la over and the stock on the ranges and on the farms la in the very best condition. Losses have been tho lightest In the history of the central west. As a matter of fact, really there have been none. Cattle have como through the winter In splendid condition and they will bo ready to take on fat as soon as the grass starts. This ought to result In th. run of range cattle starting to mar k t much earlier than usual. "I have never1 seen fall wheat look as well at this season of the year as it docs right now. The stand Is excellent and In no place does It seem to have been killed out during tho winter. The fields aro beginning to turn green and. with a few days of warm sunshine, the plant would take on a wonderful growth. With the rains of Ust fall and the fairly heavy snows of the last winter, tho ground is thoroughly wet down somo dis tance below tho roots of tho Browing gram, and with normal weather and nor mal crop conditions, there seems to be no reason why Nebraska should not har vest an Immense wheat crop this season. Larue Corn Acreage. "Going through the country and talk ing with farmers, I am led to believe that the corn acreage this season will bo atiout tho largest in the history of tho state. I find that everywhere tho farm ers uro paying special attention to se curing good seed. They aro testing tho seed nnd 1 urn Inclined to think they will plant only that which will germin ate. Besides, they Intend to plant varieties that are recognized as the very best. "The country towns lopk prosperous and from what I could gather, I think bi'sIneBs generally In very good. Kvery thlng the farmer has to sell is bringing a good prlco and thcro Is a good demand, not only for the grain nnd cattle, but fo the produce." More (HI Well. While out In Wyoming, Mr. lfoldrcSa vltllcd tho new oil flolds that arc at tracting attention and found a great deal of activity. Speculators and men with money for Investment are flocking Into th' districts and whllo lie does not anti cipate n boom, ho looks for somo won derful developments before next winter. According to Mr., lloldrene, the new oil field starts north of Cowley, twelvo miles south of tho .Montana line, on tho Thermopolls-Caspcr brunch of the Bur lington, and extends as far south as Basin. Within tho Ust six week, says Mr. Holdegc, a number of wells havo been brought in around Cowley and Lovell and still more aro being drilled. The oil Is struck at a depth ranging from 70) feet to 1.M0 feet and tho quality Is about tho same as that of tho Casper fields. Drill ingix now going on In the vicinity of Uwiln and the prospects, Mr, Holdrcgo siys, arc pronounced excellent. The cxpeotcd sometimes happens the crooked lawyers indicted by the grand jury are trying to get away hy interposing legal technicalities. The noisy demand for immediate vindication turns out to be only a cover for an attack on the selection of the grand jury, although chosen in precisely the same manner as all tne other juries, and. in point of membership, ranking higher than most previous grand juries. The recent grand jury was drawn by County Clerk Dewey and Dis trict Court Clerk Smith in the pres ence of Judge English. If the panel is illegal, so is every jury in every lawsuit tried at this term of court. If none but common neoDle had been caught in the net the -work would have stood without miration. but the crooked lawyers seem to think themselves entitled to spe cial privileges and immunity. The labored efforts of those in dicted to shift the blame for their own misdeeds onto The Bee and its editor are too eauzv to en down with any unprejudiced person. one thing, however, in the attack on the grand jury panel demands attention, namely, the assertion that the county attorney tried to shield certain of the indicted par ties. We do not know whether this is true or not, but if true the attorney should let some other law yer prosecute these grand jury cases.. KNIVES STOLEN AT SIOUX CITY FOUND ON B. THOMAS Bennlo Thomas, Thirteenth nnd Nich olas strcts, was arrested by Detectives Ulng and Van Duson Thursday night on suspicion of huvlng something to do with tho recent holdup of Krlcml Bros.' store, 401 I'cnrl street, Sioux City, Two knives bearing tho name of tho abovo firm wera taken from his person, lie Is welt known to the pollrc and has served several sen tences In the county Jail. TRIAL OF T. H. MATTERS SCHEDULED FOR MONDAY Trial of T. H. Matters, lawyer Indicted by the Douglas countv cm ml lurv rn charge 'of embezzlement, has been post- poned until Monday morning. The case was first scheduled for hear ing Wednesday, but because una nf th. defending attorneys was occupied with another case tlicn in court, It was laid asldo for several days. SHEEP MAN LOSES ARGUMENT TO WYOMING CATTLE MAN LIFE SHOULD LAST 100 YEARS Best Work Is Done After Korty, but Don't Quit the Job at Seventy. "Don't stop work at 70, do moro of It," remarked Sir Gilbert Parker a fe,w days ago, and Sir James Crlchton-Brownc, an acknowledged authority on longevity, agrees with air Uilbcrt thoroughly. "It you want a feeble and miserable old age, give up working," sail Sir James, who, although born as long ago as IStO, Is one of tho busiest men In tho kingdom today, "The most vigorous period of human life In Its entirety U obviously between twenty-five and forty years of age," he added, "but to say that men abovo the latter ago are comparatively useless Is to fly In the face of tho bio graphical dictionary. Much of the best work of the world has been dono by men over forty, and we should by no means stand where we are but be back in the twilight ages If bereft of what these men accomplished. "Musical expression, like speech, reaches Its acme In late mlddlo life. But higher In the cerebral hierarchy than speech or muslo centers are others concerned In the manifestation or purely Intellectual powers, such as reason and judgment which como to perfection late, and may long preserve their IntegrlU. A prepon derance of the work Involving calm and powerful reason Is done by mean liom fifty-five to seventy years of ago. Our Judicial system in this co;n ry hus been built up mainly by Judges from tlfty-flvo to elghty-flvo years of age, and In al most all countries the most momentous ef fairs of state have been rervcd for the decision of men at this tlma oi life. "And oven memory, so often irovshei ous In old age, may be preserved Intact. Dr. Dolllnger. when 70 yeara old ami cursed by Insomnia, learned by heart threo books and the 'Odyi.v.v In order that he might be able ia repeat them to himself In the silent watc iti of the night. Henry Dandolo, Gibbon tells us, was clocted doge of Venice wlion M. nnd lived till 97. shining In his last yoira as one of the moat Illustrious men of bis ;lmo. ' The way to make old age peevish and repulsive Is to rob It of the hopes by which It Is sustained and tranqulllied. Depend on It. the best antiseptic against senile decay is an active Interest in hu man affairs, and those keep young long est who lore most It Is a cogent argu ment against celibacy and the limitation of families that they deprive old ao ot mose vernal influences In which parents renew their youth. "We are Justified In holding that, given favorable conditions and barrlnr nccl. donts, 100 years Is the normal duration of man's life, the goal which wa should hold In view and at which, If we gu'Ce our footsteps aright, an ever Increasing number of men and women should ar rive." Sir James added that very often old age wss made feeble and deci-enlt Im. cause of the maladies of early life. All thee maladies leave thlr footprints be hind them, and In aged men were often found the tracks of measles or the marks oi wnooplng cough. london Correspond e&t tiew York Sun.

Good Eating at Low Cost We eat far too much meat. We cat meat to excess under the mistaken Idea that It is necessary to nourish our bod ies, while we continually pass up food stuffs that (weight for weight) contain .more nutriment and cost considerably lesH than meat. Take Faust Macaroni for instance. A 10c package of this macaroni contains as much nutriment a four pounds of beef, and has another big advantage, too, in that it la much easier digested. And consider the many savory, appe tizing dishes that can be made from Faust Macaroni. Write for free recipe book today. Your grocer sells Faust Macaroni 5c and 10c packages. Buy today. MAULL BROS.
