J. Gram tich, head of the university animal husbandry department, who has just returned from a meeting of sheep feeders at the Nebraska experimentt il feeding station at Scottsbluff. The thousands of head of cattle nd sheep are not being fed corn. Iliey are being fattened ' on beet pulp,, a by-product of sugar indus try. The sheep get dry beet pulp ind the cattle wet "beet pulp as their aiain ration. In addition, alfalfa and some cottonseed cake are fed. In tome instances the cattle"are finished off with a little corn. However, in tiain, beet pulptakes the place of :orn in the western Nebraska beef nd mutton producing industry. Mr. Gramlich was told that about 100,000 sheep are being fed in the Scottsbjuff vicinity, or in the North Platte valley. Thousands of head of cattle are being fed within tight of the big sugar factories. One sugar company, the Great Western, is feeding 1.700 head in one lot at Scottsbluff. Probably 15,000 head of Cattle are being fattened on the sug ar industry by-product, , Tops Omaha Market. S. K.

Today is the sixth anniversary of the "big wind" which left a six-mile path of devastation in Omaha, on Sunday, March 23, 1913. It. was Easter Sunday. During the afternoon the atmosphere was op pressive, and about 5 o'clock p. m. threatening clouds gathered in the southwest. An hour later a tornado rushed across the city from the southeast to the northeast, leaving death and destruction in its wake. The effects of that disastrous storm have been effaced. Omaha arose to the emergency with heroic purpose. The immediate death list was 125, and many have since died from wounds or shock. -One victim died this year. More than 2,500 build ings were either completely ruined or partially wrecked. More than 500 citizens suffered injuries. It was the wildest night ever ex oerienced in the history of Omaha rStreets in and near the path of the tornado were littered with debris, Many tires broke out and tor I while threatened a serious confla gration. Torrential rain following the wind prevented extensive fire loss. It was Omaha's first experience in organized relief on a large scale, With the aid of the military, Red Cross, state, county and city officials the work of rehef was quickly set in motion. Arrangements for patrol ing the storm zone were started be fore daylight on Monday. "' Omaha gave to the world a strik ing demonstration of how a western metropolis rises to meet a crisis. eraged 1,428 pounds and brought him $17.50 per 100 pounds. Two train loads of sheep, 54 cars each, rolled out of Scottsbluff last Friday. They averaged better than $4,000 a car, Mr. Gramlich said. Dry beet pulp, the big sheep feed, is worth $35 a ton in the North Platte valley. Alfalfa is selling for $12 a ton. Hence the two big rations of the she.ep and cattle are compar atively cheap, and Mr. Gramlich predicted liberal profits for North Platte valley feeders this year. About 150 sheep feeders recently gathered at the experimental station to view the lambs fed and learn the results of the experimental feed ing. Ten lots of Iambs, 30 in a lot were fed 100 days. A committe from the Omaha stock yards appraised the lambs. The lot fed corn, dry sug ar beet pulp and alfalfa were valued highest, $19.50 a 100. The lot fed only alfalfa hay were appraised the low est, si a 100. Mr. Gramlich said the Scottsbluff country showed evidence of contin ued and increasing prosperity. The winter has been open and the people are banking on a fine crop this year, It is estimated that the beet acreage will be increased 40-per cent over last ,year. Good profits were made last year, with sliced beets selling at $1 a ton and those direct frojrf tne held at $iu a ton. An w acre farm two miles from Scottsbluff re cently sold for $350 an acre.

The Racine Absorbing Shock ' Stripes an extra strip of blended rubber of graduated resiliency. It takes up shocks and jolts of the road. It completely neutralizes them, and unites the toufch rubber of the tread to the rubberized cord fabric carcass of the tire. Thus, the two are welded perfectly and danger of separation is eliminated. ' ' - Extra Care Extra Wear Miles and miles of extra service are added to Racine Multi-Mile Cord Tires by this achievement of Racine Rubber Company's chemists. Each of the many Racine Extra Tests is applied through every step in this tire's production. This extra care m the fac tory means extra wear on the road. , . Racine MuldwMile Cord Tires are built on the moved Racine principle of multiple strand construction. Greater tire milea&e and greater ridinfc comfort result from the flexibility of the thousands of rubber livened cords. t Greater Tire Mileage Non-skid construction is scientifically perfected in Racine Tires as proved by severe tests over slippery, treacherous roads and pavements.

D, Watson, Kearney, Neb., will address the members of the Roosevelt per manent memorial national commit tee when it meets March 24 to con sider projects for a memorial to Lolonel Roosevelt, according to an announcement made today. Mr. Watson, who has the distinction of being the only citizen of Nebrska who has ever been thanked by the state legislature for his public serv ices; has proposed that a fund of several million dollars be collected in memory of Colonel Roosevelt for the purpose of creating a model farm community. Mr. .Watson proposes that 125 families, healthy, strong and eager to till the soil and own their own farm homes, be selected and pro vision made tor all their needs shelter, food, clothing, education, social privileges and pleasures", un til their labor, under the direction of their teachers, has paid the debt incurred by the undertaking. Lach farm, according . to Mr. Watson, should comprise 150 acres if not irrigated; 80 if irrigated. Competent Managers. "Each department of the com munity," says Mr. Watoon, "should have for its manager the most com petent man ro be found, regardless of cost; these instructors and managers to be a farm manager, a dairy snperintendent, a swine di rector, a shepherd, a poultry chief and a teacher ot domestic science, in addition to such other teachers as might be necessary for the proper general education of the com munity, nothing to remain unpro vided which may be necessary- for the living of happy, successful, and well-rounded 'lives. 'In 10 years at the longest, those people would own their farms, fully paid for, with all the improvements. They could then decide whether tney would continue as a com munity, with alFits advantages, or each take 'his individual holdings and go on his way. ; These men would sign a contract with the holding company, that they wouia guard tne rights ot the gov ernment, the state and the Memorial association that furnished the money: At land which' they farm to be thejrs when the debt was oaid. If dissatisfied, families would be per mitted to leave the colony at any time, but would have no claim for further pay. What they had would pave paid for their labor. If they saw it through they each would have possessions worth not less than $25,000. "The expense would amount to ?o,UUO a year; receipts over $800, 000; initial endowment, $2,000,000. I propose to make this community so satisfactory to its people and so profitable that when the object les son, which one colony will give, is furnished, every government, nation al and state, all over the world, will immediately adopt it." .

By a Staff Correspondent. Lincoln,' Neb., March 22. Gov ernor McKelvie said today in his daily conference with newspaper men that he had taken no hand on either side of the fight over paro chial school legislation and that it was not his intention to do so at this time. He indicated that when the matter gets into conference be tween the house and senate, he may advise with the conferees upon the matter. The governor said that he had made a recommendation in his mes sage relative to parochial school leg islation and possibly he should have included H. R. 64, the Burney bill, in the list which he sent to the house members and senators as legislation designed to fulfill the party pledges. He pointed out that in his messase he said there should be the same re quirements for regulation and in- spctuuu ior puDiic ana private schools, their ., teachers and the courses of study. When the question gets to the conference stage, I may have some thing to ay upon it if the confer ence apmmittees request my advice or 1 should feel called uoon to make a further recommendation," asserted the governor.
