CORN CROP BRINGS

Shortage Elsewhere Cauiei Good
Demand for Nebraska Grain,
Adding: Wealth to State.
PRICES HOLDING UP WELL
Regardless of the fact that some
of the lata corn In the Nebraska
fields was caught by the frost last
fall and Injured so that It was des
ignated as "soft" corn, the farmers,
assert the grain dealers, are realis
ing more out of tho crop than any
one previously raised.
After the first killing frosts came
last fall. In some localities In Ne
braska there were areas of consid
erable extent where the late corn
was caught. However, tbls did not
apply to the state as a whole, for
through nearly all of the central and
orthern sections the corn crop was
pretty well on toward maturity
when the first killing frost came.
In sections where the corn was eaurnt
'y the frost, both farmers and train men
t the time exprteeed the opinion that
the corn would hardly be marketable,
and If so would grade so low that the
price received vould hardly pay for the
harvesting and marketing.
Weather Helps Oat.
However, the warm weather that fol
lowed the front and the cold that subse
cuently came along worked wonders. The
corn dried and without shrinking very j
much or becoming chaffy. The weather;
teemed Ideal and. continuing until late I
In the fall, it added rundreda of thouran 3s
of dollars to the wraith of the farmers of !
the state, for it made the entire corn crop
In nearly every locality marketable.
Added to the perfect weather conditions
that prevailed to aid in curing and ma
turing the corn crop, it was gathered
without being subjected to the snow of
winter and went into the cribs in the best
shape of any crop In years. The result
of all of this nas been that when the Ne
braska corn raised during the season of
I?1S reached .the market there was very
little of it that was classed as "soft."

the lt'15 corn crop of Ne-
lcrcest ever raised. There
were few poor spots, so, as a whole, the
bumper crop was general over the state,
all the way from the river to the Colorado
line and from Kensas to South Dakota,
Many of the rtates to the east and
south that In past years had been raising
corn had almost a complete failure dur
ing 1915. This resulted in an enormous
demand for the Nebraska corn and con
sequently changed the course that for
merly It had been taking when going to
market.
In past years the corn raised in Ne
braska went to the extreme south or to
.Chicago, m the south it went to the
plantations, and when it went to Chicago
' It was sold by brokers there to go east

dealers of Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois. Wis
consin and Indiana, usually all bumper

buy com to take home 'to feed or work
up Into cereals. As a result most of the
tt'IS Nebraska corn drop has been sold on
the market and at prices equal to, if not
higher, than during former years. Be
Tides this, it is estimated that during 1915

LANCASTER DEMS IN ROW
Meeting of Wilson and Marshall
Club Windi Up in Little
Typhoon.
BKTAJT MAN CAnSES TROUBLE
fom a Staff Correspondent)
LINCOLN. Jan. 2.-SpscisJ.)-Th
same kind of harmony which baa been
notoriously apparent In the democratic
Party for the last year was again In
evidence at a meeting of the Lincoln
Wilson and Marshall club, which met at
the Llndell hotel auditorium last night.
Such expressions as "We don't want
anybody In here unless he Is a gentle
man." "Anybody who opposes President
Wilson and his preparedness program is
a worse traitor to his country than Aaron
Burr." "Put him out." and other indi
cations that somebody was not satisfied
were heard.
Last night W. B. Hester, who for
twenty years hsd been the chairman of
Lancaster county democracy, was the
thorn in the flesh. He frequently ex
hibited a petition numeriouely signed by
those he called "the beat democrats In
the county." for Mayor Charles Bryan
for the democratlo nomination for gov.
ernor, but was warned before the meet
ing was called to order that If he per
sisted In presenting his views he would
be thrown out of the meeting. He "per
sister." but was not thrown out. al
though one man told him that nobody
but gentlemen were wanted in the meet
ing. Hester Called Don.
The chairman of the meeting persisted
in declaring Hester out of order, and
finally, when the latter suggested the
names of a couple of democrats for the
offices of president and vice president
of the club, the chairman declared the
meeting adjourned In a more high-handed
manner than Uncle Joe Cannon ever
dared attempt when speaker of the
house of representatives.
Colonel John O. Maher was the real
orator of the occasion, although John
M. Pevlne went him a close second.
Colonel Maher told of his recent trip to
Washington and explained the president's
preparedness program. He soored demo
crats who were opposing the prepared
ness program of the president and said
they could not be for the president and
against his program at the same time.
He made many a veiled charge at the
Rryans. and closed by. saying that "No
democrat can be agnlnst President Wil
son and his preparedness program and
be a good citizen, but on the other hand,
would be a worse traitor to his country
than Aaron Burr."
Being refused the free speech vouch
safed by the constitution and repeatedly
reiterated in democratlo platforms. Mr.
Hester served notice on the meeting
thst there would be a meeting soon of
the Wilson club, another democratic or
ganisation, and 'democrats would be
given a chance to stand up for the prin
ciples of the party.

STATE RAIL BOARD
RIDDLES WILSON
Statement by Member of Body
Shows Stromibnrg Man Hat
Another Speech Coming;.
CITES WHAT IT HAS DONE
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Jsn. .-(Speclal.) The
State Railway commission has issued a
statement in reply to the speech Victor
Wilson was given leave to print at the
banquet of the Democratlo Editorial as
sociation early In the month. It fairly
rlddlea the statements made by the
Stromsbtirg aspirant for a place on the
commission, and shows he either doesn't
talking for political effect end not for
the sole purpose of getting the facts be
fore the public.
First Job te Kaforc Cat.
In the commission's statement Is set
forth, first, that the same legislature
that passed the law creating the com
mission, under the constitutional amend
ment, did a little rate regulating on its
own account. It passed a law ordering
a general reduction of 15 per cent in
certain commodity freight rates. 25 per
cent in express rates and 3S per cent i
In passenger rates. It was up to the
newly created commission to see that
these rates were enforced, and It did.
making the necessary fight In court, and
eetaollshlng the validity of the laws,
which are still In force, and which hare
effected a saving to the people of 12.800..
one a year, or 30,onn,ooo In the eight years
since the commission was cereated. As
to other activities, the commission shows
speciflo Instances In which It has en
forced orders for lower rates, so that the
saving effected on milk and cream Is
pT,eoo since 190"; on oil, f200.(mo since
1P08; on Pullman service, I2rt.ooo since
1909; on apples and other fruits. $C5.M0
In the two years the order has been in
effect.
As to Oil Rare.
Moreover, the commission began its ef
fort to get lower ratea on oil two years
before Mr. Wilson filed his complaint.
ana nas in its files a letter from Mr. Wil
son, expressing his appreciation for the
effort of each member of the commis
sion in the work carried on. Twice hss
the commission made an order lowering
rates on Portland "cement, end on the
traffic in the state at present the saving
to the shlppen is running close to $25,000
a year.
Success attending the establishment of
General Order No. 19, which fixes, the
Nebraska classification, and effected a
reduction on more than 10,000 articles
subject to freight taffcf within the state,
is referred to. This order received ocm
mendatlon from Commissioner Prouty of
the Interstate Comerce Commission, al
though It overrides portions of an order
of that commission, written by Mr.
Prouty himself. It hss also been highly
contended by heavy shippers outside the
state.
Roads Coaataatly Appeal.
The record of a number of appeals
taken by the railroads is cited as dis
proving Mr. Wilson's statement that the
railroads are satisfied with the orders of
the present commission and never resist
them.
Altogether, the commission's reply
doesn't leave much of the fabric of the
statement of the aspirant from Stroiim-burg.

"I was a sufferer from catarrh'.
My general health was impaired.
Peruna cured me and I am rec
ommending it to all sufferers."
C. P. Bartholomew, Orlando, Fla.
HERE'S another of the many hun
dreds of comments about the work
of Peruna. Catarrh is silent and
insidious in its ravages, but it pervades
nearly every household and hovers like
a pestilence everywhere.
Catarrh may end in deafness, blindness,
loss of smell, loss of tasto, or the entire
loss of voice.
Diphtheria, bronchitis, pneumonia and
pleurisy begin almost always as a result
of a catarrhal attack.
Even those with acute catarrh, who es
cape the above, may in the end have
chronic catarrh. Even then there is
hope, because in Feruna you will find a
remedy that has a most desirable effect. ,
Peruna strikes at once at the root of
catarrh by restoring to the capillary ves
sels their healthful elasticity.
Peruna, Resdy-to-tsks. is a dependable rem
edy that will quickly and surely help you back
to health and keep you at your best.

Afraid of Going Into Debt
We believe that ono reason, mora than any other, that keepa
the average man from buying a home is tha fear .of going into
debt.
Isn't that true in your case? To show you how little ground
this Is for such fears, compsre buying with your present situa
tion. You are now renting. You already hare a debt hanclas
over you of, let us say, Z& per month, due every month, to your
landlord. ,
As long aa you rent you will always have this to pay (per
hsps more); for you and your family must live somewhere.
You couldn't go any more Uto debt If yoo bought the house.
In fsct, much less so.
Let us see. A house renting for 125 is likely to sell for
sround $3,000. You probably havo a few hundred dollara saved
so that you csn nay 10 cssb. The balance you can pay at the
rate of 1 (In this case, $30) a month; only $5 a month more
than you paid for rent.
In four years you will have paid 68 of the total amount.
Of this 18 Is interest and 40 le principal. In other words,
you will have paid $1,740, of which $1,200 Is principal, coming
bsck to you in the value of the house. Your only expense in four
years has been $540 plus the taxes and Insurance.
But," you say, "supposing I get sick, 'or lose my Job, what
then!"
You must admit' ihat such misfortune Is equally possible
when you rent. You know that at such a time, no landlord will
wait very long for over-due rent.
On the other band. In buying you will find that many of the
leading real estate companies have a clause In their contracts,
providing that In cases of sickness or other good reason for in
ability to pay, they will only require payment of the Interest.
But even if there were no provision' of this kind, at the end
of four years you csn no to any bank or loan association and
borrow' CO of the value of the house, in thla esse $1,800. The
interest on this will be only $9 per month.
Where csn you find a landlord who will take $ a month In
time of distress for a $23 house?
nest of all. buying a house on these terms you don't go on
vaylng the rest of yo'ir life In seven to ten yesrs you axe
through the house Is yours.
It's tho nun who lcnts who Is always lu debt. Own your
home sod you will soon owe no man.
