Harvest Hands This
Year Will End Jobs
Scarce and Pay Less
Lincoln, June 15. -(Special.)
Harvest in Nebraska will start in
earnest the last of this week or the
first of next week, according to in
formation received by Lincoln grain
men. Wet weather may cause it to
be a little later.
And this year there will be more
men than jobs and less wages than
in recent years, according to state
ments by employment agents in Lin
coln. A Nebraska harvest hand this
summer will receive from $2.50 to
$3 a day, while a year ago he was
getting from $6 to $8 a day and two
years ago from $10 to $14 a day.
From the estimate made today by
Lincoln grain men the average yield
of Nebraska wheat will be 15 bushels
an acre. The rains of the last two
weeks are held to be responsible for
bringing the wheat up to a better
standard than was expected.
Hayward Abandons
Garbage Contract
Notifies Council He Will' Sub
mit to Forfeiture of
$10,000 Bond.
Harry V. Hayward, who has been
carrying out the provisions of a
garbage contract entered into be
tween the city and Henry Pollock
nearly two years ago, advised the
mayor and city commissioners yes
terday afternoon that he is unable
to carry the contract any longer and
will submit to the forfeiture of a
bond he gave in the sum of $10,000
in behalf of Pollock.
The garbage situation was dis
cussed by the city officials at an
executive session, at which Mr. Hay
ward stated that he will state his po
sition formally in writing to the
citv council.
When Mr. Pollock unceremonious
ly abandoned his garbage contract
nearly a year ago, Mr. Hayward
filled the breach to save the bond.
Mr. Hayward now asserts that he
has been losing money and is un
able to break even on the $45,000 a
year which is paid by the city un
der the terms of the contract. Mr.
Havward said he will quit July 1.
The city council is face to face
with the alternative of letting an
other contract or going into the gar
bage business. One plan suggested
isi that the city haul the garbage and
dispose of it to hog feeders at an
agreed price per ton.

Man Should Read This
Peterson's Ointment Co., Inc., Buffalo,
N. Y. Dear Sirs: I was afflicted with
what the doctors said were Varicose Ulcers,
and op until about five weeks ago I have
been treating them, for about a year and
five months.
With all the treatments that were pre
scribed to me by several doctors I received
little benefit, and they kept spreading and
gave me much distress and caused ma to
quit my work.
I was induced by a brother brakeman to
try Peterson's Ointment, and after I had
used two boxes I saw wonderful re
sults. You can tell suffering ones troubled
with ugly, painful and horrid ulcers' that
your Ointment is a cure for them when
everything else fails, as I have tried about
everything. - Thanking you many times
over I am, your happy friend, Chas. J.
Heyser, Battle Creek, Mich., 42 Glenwood

I know and dozens of people write me."

rheum, piles and all skin diseases, and all
