"Why do you sell your land if
two-fifths of the crop will pay for
the land in two years ?" This
is a question that is constantly
asked us.
The answer is: "We have' more land
' than we can possibly raise money with
which to buy machinery and pay hired
: help to Work and put into producing order.
We find that we will make more money
to sell this land off to you in small tracts
and get you to paying In your payment
with which money we buy up-to-date ma
chinery and seed and pay hired help to
put large acreage under cultivation, de
riving our benefits and profits from our
three-fifths share of a large harvest each
year, than we could possibly make in hold
ing the land and just farming small tracts
of it. which we are able to farm with
our limited capital." Instead of organising
a company and selling blocks, of stock to
men who have large capital, we detdd
' to make It "The People's" association.
An association of "The People," by "The
People," for "The People."
It la an opportunity for the wage
earner. It Is an opportunity for the man
. who hasn't enough money to buy a farm
and move upon if, buy homes, machin
ery, build a home,1 etc. Many a man who
today owns a farm of his own and rents
it, would be mighty glad to have this
association farm his farm for him. We
do not do this, but we do farm the farm
we sell you and farm it under the best
plan and the best system to bring forth
the best crops.
Come in and get one of our books and
then get a contract on one or more tracts
right away so as to get in on Uie 1017
crop4 Only a limited number will be
contracted for work this year.

GERMAN CHEMISTS
TOKINGWOHDERS
Scientists Find Substitutes for
Saltpeter, Alumnitram and
Even Foodstuffs.
BMW TEA FROM B SERIES
(OorrvapoBdsnos of Th. Associated Pres..)
Berlin, Jan. J. The extent to
which substittitea and imitations arc
rampnt in Germany today form one
of the most interesting subjects of
the now seasonable reviews. The
"crsati" the Germain word for sub
stitute is now common not oqly in
the line of foodstuff, but in the chem
ical industry, textiles and metals.
Though from time to time indications
of this change in German life have
become known abroad, there have
lately appeared interesting summaries
which afford a sharper focus on the
situation. Some of the items in this
development, under their respective
heads, are as follows:
Saltpeter: Before the war Ger
many imported annually $40,000,000
worth of saltpeter." for agricnltural
and ammtmition) purposes, "mainly
from Chile, and all of' this regular
supply was lost at the outset, of the
war. Today countless factories in
Germany are manufacturing saltpeter,
whereas befo-e the war there were
only a few such experimental estab
lishments, and Germany is now able
not only to supply the increased
amount of saltpeter necessary for am
munition, but also has been able to
furnish all that is necessary for fer
tilizers. ,
' Aluminum: Before the war the sup
ply of bauxite for the manufacture of
aluminum had been imported from
France, and the ratting off of this
supply led German scientists to dis
cover a process of aluminum manu
facture by electricity from ordinary
clay.
Extracting Oils.
Mineral oils: Chemical experts in
the German coal fields have discov
ered new wiys of extracting oils from
their coal, partly relieving the serious
condition resulting from the cutting
off of mineral oil imports which, in
1913. amount to no less than $277,-
000.000. , .
- Rubber:, Germany lost practically
all of its imports of rubber, and to
offset this shortage it has substituted
steel for rubber in innumerable cases
where rubber had been used purely
tor its elasticity, further, the per
fection of the submarine merchant
ship made it possible to bring in
enough new rubber to mix with the
old in the creation of a regenerated
or synthetic rubber. The supply of
this has been developed until now it
is said to be sufficient to last for an
other eight months.
Graphite: Ceylon was the exclu
sive source of supply of graphite used
in , Germany before the war. because
the Ceylon graphite was 99 per cent
pure. Since the beginning of the war
Germany has been "dependent entirely
upon the inferior Bavarian graphite,
but German chemists have been able
to find a process by which the Bavar
ian article can be purified to a 97 per
cent standard.
Rosin: Supplies of this had come
exclusively trom America and France,
but Greman chemists have now be
come able to produce all that is
needed from the German forests, or
are able.to use as a substitute for
rosin the byproducts of wood ami
coal.
Paper as Cloth.
- Textiles: Paper has been adapted
in innumerable instances to serve foV
cloth. By using protoxide or sodium,
sulphite cellulose1 and paper, a very
durable and satisfactory thread has
been evolved, which, in turn, lends it
self to the creation of sacks and bags,
girdles, doilies, apron S working gar
ments, wrapping cloth and thread and
string. The inventors have discovered
a way to give the "paper-cloth" great
resistance to dampness. Cellulose has
been found to lend itself to the pro
duction of gun .cotton when combined
with other chemicals, and nettles have
proved themselves to be the source
of cotton batting, thread, yarn, ccjlor
inf? and even feed stuffs. Dresses and
other clothes are being manufactured
out of artificial cotton and wool, a:
they sometimes were in peace times
liven tile reeds that grow on tht
banks of lakes and ponds are bcin
used to make artificial cloths.
Copper; Almost the only "tinsiib-
stitutablc" substance has been copper,
but there lias been found to lie plenty
of that on hand in German industrial
plants and elsewhere. In place of the
copper thus taken by the government
there have been installed aluminum
and zinc, out of which wires and nlcn-
sils of various, sorts have been
fashioned, with perfect success In
addition zinc has been found to do
just as well as copper in the manu
facture of a score of articles in every
day use, and is a good substitute
also for brass and bronze. Iron and
steel also substitute satisfactorily in
dozens of other cases, and are now
largely used in installing apparatus of
all kinds, in place of rubber, copper
and brass. Zinc and aluminum and
zinced iron find their use now in
switchboards and the like in place of
marble or slate.
Imitate Foods.
Foodstuffs: Imitations have played
almost if not quite as large a part
as substitutes for foodstuffs of which
a shortage has been created by the
war. Many of the limitations are of
doubtful nutritious value, some of
them have proved dangerous, but the
authorities have kept a watchful eye
on the situation and have promptly
put the ban on the bad imitations and
required the proper labelling of the
good ones. The grain supply of the
empire, originally not near enough
for the consumptiomof 70,000,000 .peo
ple, has been "stretched" by potato
flour. And now that the potato crop
is almost a failure potato flour will it
self be substituted by barley during
the first half of 1917.
When the coffee began to run
short its consumption was reduced
and Germany took recourse to ad
mixtures of chicory, roasted grain,
so-called "fig coffffee and coffee ex
tracts. Tea, which also is short and
expensive, has been gradually replaced
by extracts from home-grown berries
and herbs. Germany has learned to
alter its tastes somewhat and to be
content with brews that arc probably
just as wholesome as tea but not
quite the same in appearance and
contents. v

In Central
Opened for
Free
Seven lllioii Mres
Grass Covered, SM Raising Lands
The new 640 Homestead Act ia now a law. Application for lands should be made as early at
Sossible, owing to the great demand for these enlarged homesteads, They are located in Central and
fortheast Wyoming, generally north of the North Platte River and east of the Big Horn Mountains. ,
How Reached:
Some of these lands are reached via the Burlington's Omaha-Central Wyoming Main Line to
Donglas for Converse County, to Casper for Natrona County or Glendo for Platte County.
Another large area is reached by the Burlington's Northwest Main Line to Ardmore or Edge
mont, S. D., Newcastle, Upton, Moorcroft, Gillette and Cleannont, in Northeastern Wyoming.
All of these towns are points of divergence for homesteaders to these new lands ; there are f acili-ti-
in each of them for the assistance of homesteaders, who may either employ the services of
reliable locators or accept the direction of the Government Land Officers to the various interior '
settlements. , -
How to Obtain Title: .
This new 640 Acre Law is an amplification of the 320 acre Mondell law and is intended to pro
vide tracts of more appropriate size for the live stock industry. Residence required, three years,,
with five months' leave of absence allowed each year, or -twenty-one months' residence within
three years; permanent improvements to the value of $1.25 per acre required; final proof must
be made within five years. Residence must be taken up within six months of date of filing.; Gov
eminent Land Offices are located at Douglas, Sundance and Buffalo, Wyo. There are land
commissioners at the points of divergence. . ' ' ,
When to Co:
Many thousands of acres, largely additional filings to the 320 acre Mondell tracts, are now being';
filed on. This new area, however, is very extensive. It contains large bodies of excellent gracing
lands, and naturally those who come j first may obtain the better choice. The present season or
the early spring permits a satisfactory inspection and an accurate judgment as to soil and gen
eral characteristics of the land, BUT IT IS WELL TO QO AT AN EARLY DATE.
Information -:
and assistance will be readily furnished to applicants either by 0. S. Land Office officials or by
the undersigned. Apply early for our circular of information and instructions regarding the
taking up of these homesteads. ' ''; -

It is proposed that all of the reve
nue received through the application
of the wheel tax shall be used for re
pair and maintenance of streets, al
leys and boulevards, the street de
partment to receive 60 per cent and
the boulevard department 40 per cent.
Complete descriptions of each ve
hicle shall be filed with the city clerk
and registration tags must be dis
played on the vehicles, the ordinance
reads.
The schedule of rates quoted are
approximately the same as are in
force in Kansas City and are lower
than those in Chicago.
The ordinance is ready for intro
duction to the city council. Com
missioner Jardine suggested a confer
ence between the commissioners and
vehicle men, in order that several
mooted points may be straightened
out
It is estimated that under the pro
posed schedule of rates the city would
receive between $60,000 and $75,000 a
year wheel taxes.
Demand for Coal, ,
Heavy, but Good
Supply is in Bins
The change in weather, bringing
on zero and below temperatures, has
caused an enormous demand for coat,
but. dealers assert that there is no
possibility of a fuel famine in Omaha,
unless the cold weather should
quickly be followed by another
storm, something that is not antici
pated. They assert that right now
the supply on hand is sufficient to
run the city at least two weeks in
the event that shipments should not
be received in the meantime.
The supply of coal on hand refers
to that for domestic purposes. The
poorer grades used in steam heat
ing plants continue low, as is always
the case in winter, it coming from the
mines daily. Of this there u the nor-
