Goats Pay Own Freight When a herd of 75 high bred goats was purchased in California recently by Charles Stevens, wealthy Chica goan, for distribution here, Mr. Stevens failed by about $7,000 worth to appreciate the value of his pur- cjiase.

The kids, gured on the valuation of the herd purchased, are said to be wortn mucn more than enough to pay the entire transportation and delivery of . the goats. ; It is one of Mr. Stevens' philan thropic hobbies to promote the use of goats' milk in cases of sickness and among undernourished children . of the poor. ' - : . , v Aearney uistnct nas r Big Potato Acreage 'VKeaVney, Neb., May 6. (Special.) The Kearney district potato plant ing is done. Between 5,000 and 5i500 acres are planted to spuds this year, as compared with 3,200 last season. The greatest gains in acre age were made in the vicinity of . Elmcrcck on the west, and around Gibson on the east. Approximately ,' lO0.tars of seed potatoes were un- ' loaded at this point to meet the de mands of the growers immediately tributary ; to - Kearney. What is known as the Kearney district ex . tends on the west to Cozad and east to Grand Island. The bulk of seed planted in this district came from ,' Minnesota and was laid down at prices varying between $1.35 and $1.60 per bushel. Last year the dis.- trict produced 700 cars of potatoes Which were rated , by the United States Department of Agriculture as being the second best in the coun- try. This year the crop valuation' with normal yield is expected to ex ceed $1,000,000. " . - A new industry also seems to be fit the making in this locality, that of, raising cabbage.; Hundreds , of acres will be planted to this crop in the vicinity of Gibbon and' south across the Platte, near, Lowell and : Newark. The cabbage acreage im . mediately tributary to Kearney will also be greatly increased. At Gib bon alone, over 2,000,000 cabbage plants have been set out, at an aver age of about 1,100 to the acre. Near ly all farm tracts seeded to potatoes and cabbage are under irrigation by the use of wells and growers feel they can work the crops jointly, cabbage being harvested after trie potatoes are on the market The growers of cabbage, are aUo organ ising a marketing association, simi- far to that of the Kearney District Potato Growers ' association, and . they do not anticipate experiencing trouble selling their crop.

This fine dependability, always the cardi nal fact of the Cadillac, finds even higher expression than before in the New Type 61. J. H Hansen Cadillac Co.
