Auto Truck Business Increases
and Stock Yard Facilities
Enlarged to Handle
Receipts.
The popularity of the auto truck
as a vehicle for bringing live stock to
the Omaha market has grown to
uch an extent that the Stock Yards
company has found it necessary to
add a new auto truck division.
Plans for the division were made
last spring, but labor and nu :rial
were hard to get on account of the
war. The Addition will be about the
samesize as the old part. There
wil! bit a driveway between the old
and new part, so that half a dozen
trucks can unload at one time. This
will make it possible to take care
of 1,200 to 1,500 auto-hauled hogs
daily. Work will'start on the im
' provement in a few days.
The growth of the auto truck
business at the Omaha stock yards
market has increased greatly dur
ing the last year. Market bureau
men say Omaha gets more stock
by auto than all the other western
markets combined.

CECIL DE MILLE and Milton
Hoffman were at lunch the
other day and the topic of
conversation was Ethel Clayton's
newest play, "Vicey Van." As
part of the stage effects of this
tale one must know that a few days
previous there had been a murder
committed in Los Angeles.
"Did you see the murder commit
ted?" asked Cecil. J'How was it?"
"Fine," says Hoffman. "The body
fell out of sight and you could only
see the feet."
They did not notice that in the
next booth was a wildeyed middle
aged woman, who immediately tip
toed carefully to the telephone and
called up the Hollywood police de
partment. In a few minutes two
breathless policemen arrived on the
spot. Mr. De Mille and Mr. Hoff
man were still engrossed in the dis
cussion of the murder and Mr.
Hoffman had just remarked: "I
don't like committing murders that
way, it's getting too monotonous.
We ought to find some new way of
getting rid tof the victim." Just
thetrthe hands of the law fell' upon
his shoulder, but as soon as the
two suspects looked up, the police
men recognized them, laughed and
turning to the excited informant,
said: "Them fellows commit mur
der every day and we can't do noth
in' to stop 'em," and departed,
leaving the tourist openmouthed at
the freedom and license of crime in
southern California.
Earle Williams was married re

"The Silent Woman," a story of
the great northwest, with Edith
Storey in the leading role, is the
photoplay attraction at the Empress
theater for the last half of the week.
It is a play which deals with the
strong emotions which govern the
lives of strong men and women. A
Fox comedy is also on the program
as well as the regular Pathe News
Weekly.
Ye movie scribe attended a pic
ture palace the other night. The
show was probably good, the music
might have been in tune, and the
probabilities are that the scenic ef
fects of the theater should have been
restful to the mind. We'll never
know, for some kind friend behind
us was busily reading in our ear the
titles as they appeared and telling
his idea of what was to happen next.

What Determines Meat and
Uve-Stock Prices?
Some stock men still think that Swift & Company
and other big packers can pay as little for live-stock as
they wish.
Some consumers are still led to believe that the packers
can charge as much for dressed meat as they wish.
This is not true. These prices are fixed by a law of
human nature as old as human nature itselfthe law of
supply and demand.
When more people want meat than there is meat to be had, the
scramble along the line to get it for them sends prices up. When
there is more meat than there are people who want it, the scramble
all along the line to get rid of it within a few days, while it is still
fresh, sends prices down.
When prices of meat go up, Swift & Company not only can pay the
producer more, but has to pay him more.ioc some other packer will.
Similarly, when prices recede all down the line Swift & Company
cannot continue to pay the producer the same prices as before, and
still remain in the, packing business.
i
All the packer can do is to keep the expense of turning stock into
meat at a minimum, so that the consumer can get as much as
possible for his money, and the producer as much as possible for his
live-stock. !
Thanks to its splendid plants, modern methods, branch houses,
car routes, fleet of refrigerator cars, experience and organization,
Swift & Company is able to pay for live cattle 90 per cent of what it
receives for beef and by-products, and to cover expense of production
and distribution, as well as its profit (a small fraction of a cent per
pound), out of the other 10 per cent '

"Leave it to Jane" will be present
ed a the Boyd for a week's engage
ment beginning next Sunday with
matinees, Wednesday, Thanksgiving
and Saturday. This musical comedy
success is based on George Ade's
"The College Widow." Many of the
original lines are made to sparkle
in the book and lyrics by Guy Bol
ton and P. G. Wodehouse, and a
group of melodies that are entracing
have been written by Jerome Kern.
The lively chorus is' said to" have
set a new standard of beautiful
girlhood for the stage. Seats on
sale today.
As proficient a showman as is
Max Spiegel, he displayed faulty
judgment in permitting so many
laughs in "The Merry Rounders,"
now at the Gayety, presented by
Abe Reynolds, Florence Mills and
the big company. Ladies' matinee

Florenze Tempest, "America's
most lovable boy and daintiest
girl," is contributing a popular musi
cal number to vaudeville at the
Orpheum. Cute Miss Tempest used
to come with her pretty sister, Sun
shine, who is now creating a New
York vogue for herself. She has a
penchant for pretty gowni and has
a few ones this time that ire at
tracting attention. With its thrills,
the scenic sensation, "The Forest
Fire," is proving a good repeater.
Headlining the new snow, which
opens at the Empress theater to
day is a singing, "talking and dancing
sketch, to be presented by Polly
Oz and Chick, Giltoy, Haines and
Montgomery also have a singing
comedv act which they bill as "The
Deputy."
"Hearts of the World" returns to
the Brandeis next Sunday. 'Hearts
of the World" has proven even
a more marvelous financial suc
cess than its predecessors; a
record that was considered almost
impossible. "Hearts of the World"
will again be seen in this city at the
Brandeis theater, twice daily, start
ing next Sunday.
