DOUBLE PRICE
OF POTATOES IN
RETAIUTORES
State Commissioner Appoints
Inspectors in Leading
V Western Nebraska Ship
i ping Points.
Lincoln, Sept. 25. (Special.)
: Commissioner George A. Williams
of the department of agriculture
has returned from an inspection of
the potato conditions in the north
western part of the state and re
ports that there appears to be cort
siderable of a discrepancy between
the prices paid for potatoes grown
without irrigation and those grown
under the ditches.
Shippers purchasing dry farming
potatoes are offering from $1.50 to
$1.55 a bushel for potatoes to- the
growers, while in the irrigated tract
they are offering from $1 to $1.05
for the irrigated product.
Mr. Williams has appointed 24 in
spectors at as many different points
in that section whose duties are to
inspect every car loaded for ship
ment and any shipment of potatoes
made without inspection, the shipper
Is subject to a heavy penalty.
Irrigated potatoes in Lincoln are
telling at the stores for 60 cents a
peck, or $2.40 a bushel, making a
profit on each bushel of $1.50, or
more between the grower and the
. time the potatoes reach the kitchen
stable. :

Dr. Wild, Head of Board of
Health, Is to Quit Post
Lincoln, Sept . 25. (Special.)
Dr. W. F. Wild forthe past five
years connected with the state
board of health and during the past
two or three years at the head of
that department, will leave the post
he has held and the service of the
state.
Officially speaking this is mere
rumor as the head of the depart
ment of public welfare, H. H. Antles,
refuses to make any statement ex
cept that he had not been officially
informed that the doctor was to quit
the job. Dr. Wild himself says that
he gave official notice two weeks
ago. But that is neither here nor
there, for 'the doctor admits that he
will leave for Boston, where he has
been offered better money for his
services and where the red tape
connected with the job is not so
tangled up. Dr. Wild expects to
quft the first of October. Thus
again the state loses a good man
because other states recognize his
worth more than Nebraska.

leaders in the production of this
crop. Threshing in Nthis county is
about half completed, and so far the
winter wheat is making from 20 to
46 bushels per acre. In many cases
the crop produced on the land ex
ceeds the price paid for the land.
The corn, rye and barley were never
better in the history of the county,
and the stock feeders are entering
into the winter season - better
equipped and prepared to take care
of their stock than ever before.
The spirit of progress is on and
development in this western county
stares at you on every corner; beau
tiful farm improvement are being
built; greater and more extensive
farming is being carried on and good
road construction is evidenced every
where in the county. In the town of
Imperial at the present time there
are seven brick buildings under con
struction, and many more to be
commenced as soon as labor and
material can be procured.

Trial Be Set for Early Date

A motion has been filed in the su
preme court jointly by the attorney
general and J. M. Priest, attorney
for Alson B. Cole, sentenced to
electrocution at the penitentiary for
the murder of Mrs. Lulu Vogt in

FAT WOMEN
Get rid of that burden of Obesity
this very Summer.
Hera' is a chance, Miss Fat Woman, to
try a recipe for superfluous flesh, with
the guarantee of a reliable firm that it
will not cost you s penny unless it re
duces your weight, while, if it does rid
you of fat, the expense is trifling.
Simply get a tittle phy-no-la. from
Beaton Drug Co., Sherman & McConnell, or
any drug store at small cost and use as di
rected. It is entirely safe, as it reduces fat
in the natural way. There is no dieting, no
strenuous exercising, no annoyonce, just
a few grains of phy-no-la four times a
day and in a short time your weight should
be reduced to normal on all parts of the
body. - v
Be sure to ask for and get the genuine
phy-no-la. It usually comes in little sealed
packages that are plainly marked, "phy-
no-la, but the outside of the package does
not say it is for taking off fat, so be sure
nd get the real phy-no-la.

It has been a great privilege to have the "2sTulife" Corset
introduced in this store by the inventor, himself. He has been
able to visually demonstrate to daily audiences, during the past
few .days, the principle of this hygienic corset and some of the
surprising results in figure and health improvement which are
possible with it.
The "Nulife" Corset Does Things
; '
Just as an example:
A woman from the audience steps upou
the platform "at thex invitation of Prof.
Munter, the inventor. Her measurements
are taken. They are shoulders, 44; chest,
38 j waist, 32; hips, 48.
1 A "Nulife" Corset is" adjusted over her
dress, and her measurements are taken
again. This time they show shoulders,
49; chest, 42; waist, unchanged; hips, 40.
The woman declares she feels a new com
fort and sense ,of self-possession she had
not felt before.
