THE VALUE OF CORN.
WHEN DOES 1T BECOME PROFIT
ABLE AS FUEL?
Some Experiments BcinG Made to De:sp
mine the Matter-Nebraskans Who
Are Seeking Office Paying At
tcntion to Senator Thurs
ton-Itefns of Interest.
Corn VS.. Coal.

Washington Special: The present
abundance of corn and its low price
has occasioned much speculation as to
its full value. There is such a diver
sity of opinion as to the actual knowl-
edge regarding the profitableness of
buying corn instead of coal that it
seemed desirable to conduct a compar
ative test that would show the relative
heating power of the two materials.
Whether it would pay to raise corn for
fuel is question not contemplated in
this investigation. but the interests of
the large number of people living in
the region of cheap corn call for the
determination of its most profita BILE
use after it IS upon the market. From
investigation ii is stated that if GER
tain quality of coal were selling at
less than $3.50 and corn were bringing
II cents, it would not pay to burn corn,
while coal must sell rs low as S.. Al per
ton to be as cheap fuel as corn at 10
cents q bushel. very complete and
thorough investigation of this subject
Is being conducted at the university.
1t WAS thought desirable. however, to
publish the results already obtained,
although they were based upon the
performance of but one quality of coal.
This coal is well known and largely
used in the state.
All those from Nebraska seeking
office are paying devoted attention to
Senator Thurston. who is expected
to lane on easy street republicans en-
titled 20 recognition. Senator Thurs
ton is doing his very best. He is
anxious to show his strength with the
administration and he is likely to do it
in naming the marshal. district attor-
ney and collector of internal revenue
when the proper time comes, as well
as by naming all the postmasters in
the Third, Fourth. Fifth and Sixth dis
tricts. Senator Thurston stands right
in line with Major Mckinley. The
two republican representatives, who
have been ignored up to date, will
probably be shunted aside in the future
so far as matters of patronage are con-
cerned outside of their districts. Ap
plicat;ons for office from sections of the
state not in First and Second districts
should be sent to Senator Thurston,
who is devoting his earnest attention
to the attempt to secure proper recog-
milton for Nebraska republicans who
have done good work for the party.

"No Remedy for Farmers"
(San Francisco Call1

The condition of agriculture in Eng
land has long been Of nature so dis
astrous, both to landowners and lease
holders, as to produce among them a
state of chronic discomfort. Recently,
however, affairs have gone from bad to
worse and at the present time they are
II a condition so hopeless that Lord
Salisbury is reported to have declined
IL receive deputation OF farmers on
the expressed ground that he knew Of
his own knowledge all they had to COM
plain of, but could see no way OF rem
etiying the evils.
Bad as this condition is, it is rem
de red worse by the fact that there
seams to be no hopeful outlook for the
farming industry Of England in the
fu.ure The only possible help would
be the establishment of a high protee-
tig.s tariff on farm products.

Divorce Case Prove. Sensational.

Columbus has been enjoying some
sensational scandals. One in particular
was the divorce case OF Josephine
Barnum VS.. George E. Barnum. Mrs.
Barnum sues for divorce and alimony
after having been married to the de-
fendant about one year. At tie time
of her marriage she claimed to be a
widow, her former spouse having died
Mr.. Barnum took q trip to Stark
county. Illinois, and resurrected, it is
claimed. not only one, but two of her
former husbands and brought one of
them, George w. Smith, back to testify
against his wife. 1t is needless to say
that Josephine has lost her interest in
the alimony case and also the affec-
tions of husband No. 3.

1t may be added that in each case
the gentlemen whose views are quoted
by Senator Chandler, while extremely
favorable to international bimetallism,
express the view distinctly that at
tempts by a single nation, no matter

independently and without interna-

Can You Sleep2

Homely language, like a homely girl,
may be SO illuminated by direct intelli-
gence as to become positively f%ascinat-
ing. When we say, "I've had a good
nap," it's homely, but my, doesn't it
mean q lot! Many can't ~sleep-don't
even know what q good nap is These
weary ones toss, turn and %agonize, wear
out their brains and bodies,-a useless
waste OF energy and life. Pabst Malt
Extract, the BEST" Tonic, will bring
sleep to you-you will nestle to slumber
like a tired child. Take a glass just be-
fore going to bed, and in ten minutes
you will go drowsily to Sunderland.
After a week or SO sleep will come nat
urally and you won't need the Tonic.
Health, strength and mental calmness
come also to help the weak, the weary
and the heavy-laden, for PABST MALT
EXTRACT is the BEST Tonic.

1t is claimed that the railroad men
have had a suspicion for some time that
engine 1918, which ditched the passen-
ger near here the other day, would soon
er or later make trouble. The fact that
her number ended with 10, and the fact
the sum of the four figures Of her num-
Der made 10, also the first and last fig
ures made the unlucky number, added
strength to the superstition. The boys
did not say much, but frequently looked
at those four figures, and tried to break
the combination on Is, but it was i'm
possible. After the accident occurred
there were several remarks such as 'lhe
numper did the JOBS" ''she was a no.
doc !" knew she would land us some
day., etc. The fact also that the head
engine OF the train passed over nnharm-
ed and 1918 met with disaster, has a ten
dency to confirm their theory. The
boys are hoping the number will be
changed.-Journal.

One thing that vas done while the
new tariff bill was before the conference
committee is sure to be widely COM
mended. That is the insertion of a
clause prohibiting the manufacturers OF
tobacco or cigarettes offering any sort OF
a prize or premium with their goods.
The only pity is that a similar law could
moi lie made to apply to everything else,
for there is little doubt that the intro
duction of lottery methods into business
which has grown to a great evil, is de-
moralizing in its effects upon our people

the fineness OF the bullion was returned
by the mint hut we have been besieged
by SO many people who W placer
claims, and by so many who are utter
ested In the mines and the district gen.
orally, that we yield somewhat against
our judgement. The gravel worked
about $l4 per ton, and whether more or
less by the finencss of the bullion, 1t
establishes the fact that Olinghouse Can
yon will, when experiments are ended
and the best way found TO work its
placers, yield from them alone between
500, 900 and 5000, 900. 1t is needless to

more than satisfied Its placer claims
are rich If they average half of $14

sand tons. The Hutchinson mine proper
