lating the ordinance.

"These men are not only doing an
injustice to their patrons but also to
their competitors who will not lower
their standards and therefore cannot
sell as cheaply as they do," said Pros
ecutor McGuire.
Three offenese of this kind cause
the dairyman's license to be rebuked.

NEW TRACKAGE IS
PLANNEDBY THE U. P.
Railroad Buys Land and Will
Install Four Tracks at
Once for the Peters
MiU.
Extensive trackage and other de
velopment is planned between B and
D streets, South Side, on Twenty
ninth street. The Union Pacific has
purchased of the M. C. Peters Mill
company twelve lots lying on the
west side of the mill, which will be
developed with trzekage. The deal
involves some $20,000. 'The negotia
tions were conducted through the
Byron Reed company.
Four tracks are to be laid here for
switching facilities for the immedi
ate convenience of the Peters mill,
where some extensions are being
planned. The tracks will be used for
inspection of alfalfa used at the mill,
and some time in the distant future
it is thought the hay market of
Omaha may be developed here. Union
Pacific officials, however, say the idea
of making this the hay market is not
contemplated at this time. It has
been suggested by some hay dealers
that this would be a good place to
develop such a market, however.
Peters Mill Expands.
Mr. Peters during the last year has
made some large extensions to the
Peters mill, which makes alfalfa feeds,
and handles grain, hay, bags and bur
lap. Furtlier extensions are planned
mw in connection with the increased
trackage that is going to be available
when the Union Pacific completes its
work there, but M. C. Peters says
he cannot tell as yet how far he will
go with his extensions until he knows
whether or not he will be compelled
to serve on the exemption board, to
which he and Frank L. Kennedy have
been appointed. Mr. Peters would
like to be excused from serving on
this board if possible.
"It is a big work I am undertak
ing in the way of extensions here
said Mr. Peters, and 1 cannot go
ahead with it until I know whether 1
will serve on the exemption board or
not.

DIGEST, greatest of news-magazines, puts you in

the words of the periodicals published on the spot,
voicing no views of its own, being content to record

and thinking, leaving you to form your own judg
ments. Why not read this week's number?
