PIG, TOO .By A. R. GROH. Come, people of Nebraska, let's gloat today over our wealth. We haven't time or space to gloat over all our wealth but we'll-just take out our live stock and goat over that. We hav,e 2,443,760 cattle of all ages and sites. What does that mean? I'll try to give you a graphic idea ot this bunch of steers, suppose each animal averages seven feet in length from head to tail. Placing our cat tle, then, one behind the other, they would form a line 4.240 miles long. This line would reach from New York to San Francisco and fifty-seven miles out into the Pacific c:ean. Take an express train and travel for live days and nights and-every mm ute you would be flying past these nebraska cattle lined up, one touch ing the other. Through Chicago, Omaha. Denver. Ogden. across plains and mountains and rivers, the line of Nebraska's cattle wpuld never be broken. "Pigi Is Pigs" When you have that journey com pleted we'll line ud Nebraska oies, of which we have 1,542,303. We'll ligure that they average only three feet from snout to tail. Let each piggy take the tail of the piggy in tront ot him in . his mouth and as. sume a fat and smiling expression The line would be 876 miles long, or as tar as trom here to Chicago and then from Chicago to Cleveland. O. "Cock-a-doodle-doo I" Chanticleer flies up on the fence to announce that he and-Mrs.Hen and all their family together with their cousins, the happy ducks, the pompous turkeys and the noisy guinea chickens number 12,298, 452 in Nebraska. If you doubt it, go and count them yourself. That Hen Family. We'll line them up, one directly back of the other, allowing four birds to every jard. This will make a line l,4 miles long. How would it look to put a border of chickens all around the state of Nebraska? All right, we'll just do that small thing, all the way up the Missouri river on the eajt, along the South Dakota line on the north, Wyoming and Colorado on the west and Kansas on 'the south. But this has used up only 1,256 miles of our poultry. We have just exactly enough lett' to make a line from Omaha to Chicago. Horses and Mules. "Giddaol",-We'll trot nut nnr horses and mules'now. In spite of the fact that " nearly every Nebraska farmer has an automobile, there arc 89,696 horses and 113.913 mules here, a total of 1,013,609. Allowing ten feet for an average length from head to tail, these animals .would make a line 1,919 miles long. It's 1.782 miles from here to San Francisco over the Union Pa cific. So, you see you could look out continuously oil an unbroken line of Nebraska horses and mules durine the whole journey and have 137 miles of the animals still left over to extend out into the Pacific or in some other direction, where they could stand on dry land. 1 We might line up our 18Z.429 sheep and make another long line and our automobiles and talking machines and money in the bank but, as stated be fore, we have time and space here for the contemplation of only a small part of our wealth. Road Economics- r Make Report On Highway Finances (Correspondence of Tht Associated Press.) Washington. Nov. 4. Financing of highway improvements has been thoroughly investigated bv exoerts of the Department of Agriculture s di vision of road economics who recom mend to people of counties and muni cipalities intending to rise tunds tor the .advantages of the deferred serial plaji over the ordinary sinking-fund plan. Under the serial' plan, certain amount of bonds is retired each year and the bonds sa- retired cease to be an interest charge- on the community. Under thf sinking-fund plan none of the bonds is retirable until the end of a definite period, and the entire sum raised bears interest for the entire life of the bond. The department s experts say un der the ordinary sinking-fund plan communities ' pay interest on the money borrowed and in addition set aside each year as a sinking fund an amount sufficient to retire all the bonds when they become due. The sinking-fund is deposited with banks and cams' some interest. That in terest ordinarily is only 3 per cent, whereas the communities pay 5 or 6 per cent to its bondholders. The serial plan is much cheaper, even though the sinking fund earns inter est as high as 4 per cent, and in the opinion of the road specialists should be utilized whenever it is possible to market serial bonds. A report ,on the subject has just been published by the Department of Agriculture, which is distributing it to interested persons upon application.

HOWELL PLANS CAMPAIGN Omaha will have the pleasure of an other election, which is scheduled for Tuesday, December S, three weeks from next Tuesday. The campaign is now on. The issues are not whether General George Harries of the Omaha Electric Light and Power company kepfOmaha out of war, or whether K. B. Howell, general manager of the municipal water plant, is too proud to fight. The issue is, will the voters of Omaha aDorove or reject the five- year street lighting contract allowed the light company Dy hc city coun cil? s ' I The fight against the contract is being made by R. B. Howell from his office in the city hall. His purpose is to defeat the contract and thus make the way easier for him to put through his f plan of maintaining a municipal light plant in connection with the municipal water plant. Legal Opinion. Mr Howell announces he received from Attorney Webster of he Mefc ropolitan Water district an opinion, stating that the city has no power at this time to acquire the plant of the Omaha Electric Light and Power company by condemnation proceed ines. but the city has power to con demn land for use in constructing a new plant. Mr. Howell wants the city council to appropriate the light ing fund for his proposed municipal lighting system, instead of spending the money as proposed in the five- year contract, which will be contested at the forthcoming special election. Claims of Defense. Those who are defending the five- year street lighting contract claim the following: . There will be a total of 2.488 lamps as against 1,417 now in use, without increase of cost to the city. The in crease ot lamps will be 1,11. A com plete, efficient and-,decorative orna mental street lighting system for the business section of the city without any investment on the part of the city or merchants. The entirs cost of additional installation is borne by the company. Reduces the cost of lighting a street intersection about 34, wmcn means that almost two intersections can be lighted for the present cost of one intersection. About 75 per cent of dark street intersections can be lighted without additional cost to city,' thereby giving better police protection throughout the entire city. The de mands for more street lighting con stantly made by the people can be met without immediate increase in our lighting fund. The contract docs away with the present old-style arc lamps, which are obsolete, and secures for the city (he most improved arc lamp known to the electrical industry -for street lighting purposes.

Hiram Johnson Can Be Governor Year Longer San Francisco, Nov. 11. Hiram W. Johnson, United States senator-elect from California, can keen on beinir governor of California until Decem ber, 1917, if he wants to, according to a statement today by U. S.
