Gty . by many thousand head. Kansas City has a slight edge on Omaha in cattle receipts for the first five days 'of the week, with 48,000 head, against Omaha's 45,900 head. But the Gate City runs away from the Missouri city in receipts, of both hogs and sheep. Receipts of hogs in Omaha were 85,000, against 57,500 for Kansas City, Sheep receipts for Omaha were 45,000 and for Kansas City 13,700. Prices have soared to an unprece dented figure, and this is given by itockmen as one of several reasons why shippers are rushing their stock to market. Cattle prices are $4 per 100 pounds higher than a year agq, hogs $2 higher and sheep $6 higher. . Another reason advanced is that shippers fear the government may soon fix prices for live stock, and they are' taking advantage of prevail ing conditions to market their stock at stiff prices. Get, Cars Now. Increased car facilities also is an Important factor. The difficulties ship pers have had in obtaining cars in the past have been in a large measure eliminated since the government has taken, over the control of the rail roads. Cars are now easily obtained, although the shipper sometimes ex periences difficulties at certain water ing and feeding points enroute be cause of the time limit set for hold 'jjgr cars at these points. Many shippers who ordinarily mar ket their stock in May or June are influenced by prevailing conditions to market it now. , , Stockmen say that the receipts for the month will 'eclipse all April rec it i .

And if he should get drunk on the officially purchased booze, what would be done to him? A "Portia" is needed to untangle the law whi-h applies to the case. The laws are: - "The prohibition law of Nebraska forbids the sale of intoxicating liquor within the state." "The United States postoffice build ing is under exclusive jurisdiction of the United States." "There is no United States law prohibiting the sale of liquor in the postoffice building." There is a federal law, however, which provides that where an offense is committed in a building over which the United States has jurisdiction and there is no federal law to cover the offense, then the state law shall apply. to Strike Fritzies' Heart i -1 , " rrrji ji iji i' I ..
