large to secure adequate accommoda-
tons there. They had determined to

here would be adequate to the situa-

their sales not only locally but in stock
papers in Omaha, Kansas City, St.

said to come from as far as Indiana.

MEETING OF SToCkMEN.
important Gathering to be Held at
South Omaha.


DR.. Charles A. McKim, state veterin
arian, has sent the following notice to
stockmen:
| wish to call your attention to the
stockman's meeting to he held at
South Omaha, Neb., in the Exchange
building on Wednesday, october 2,
A program is enclosed.
hope you realize the Importance Of
this meeting and | wish to urge upon
YOU the need and opportunity for you
to be present
Many subjects of interest to you as
a stockman will be discussed and OPP
portunity given you to ask questions
or offer your advice as to the means
of handling and controlling diseased
animals in the state.
BY recent ruling of the interstate
commerce commission the inspectors
of the bureau of animal industry are
prohibited from inspecting cattle or
sheep, or issuing certificates for the
same at time of shipment when they
are going from point to point within
the state, it is only when they are
offered for interstate shipment that
the government inspector can act.
You of course realize the Importance
or meaning of this ruling, and the ben.
eft to you if your stock is healthy, of
having a clean bill of health for them
before they leave home. This you
cannot secure If you wish to ship to
South Omaha, under the above ruling
are compelled to ship out of the state
to avoid delay in having your cattle
held up at destination for inspection
This is one matter we wish to have
adjusted so as to prevent this discrim
ination against our state market. The
question of tuberculosis in cattle ant
swine, and of the packers buying sub
iect to post-mortem inspection will
also be discussed.
AS you notice by the program al
these subjects and others will be dis
cussed by speakers from all the diff
ferent interests concerned, and oppor
tunity given for any one present who
wishes to express his views.
State control Of all diseases of {
contagious nature, state sanitary work
cooperation of the federal and state
authorities, local meat and milk in

Politicians FARE VERY QUEER DUCKS'

See how they are treating our post master just because one gang thinks there should be a change simply to give another fellow a soft snap. We'll, we're not in politics, therefore we don't know why man should be dropped when he is doing his busi-' ness in the o. K. style. But we do believe a remark we heard right Tn front of our tea store the other day. The parting word was he'd rather have the devil he knew than. the devil he didn't know. Now it's pret- ty near the same way at our store. When people begin to buy our tea and coffee and they find it's the nice tasting, o. K. kind, they continue 10 purchase from us simply because they know if they go elsewhere they won't get the same good quality; therefore they'd rather buy from the one they do know in preference to the one they don't know. That's one reason we keep our eye on the qual- ity all the time Remember II you want chicory in your coffee you must tell us so; the law won't let us sell 1t otherwise. This week we give a double meat roaster or bars of soap with a pound of our warranted good 50-cent tea, at

MISSING WITNESS IN HAYWo ooD
CASE INTERVIEWED.
NOT COJRTIhG ARREST
Declares He Has Been in Denver, Seat
tie and Canada and Has Brushed
Up Against Polsemen-says Or
chard Is crazy-Was in Boise.
(By Associated Press.)

Spokane, Oct. 14.-Jack Simpkins
was recognized on the streets of this
city last week and interviewed. He
said he had not made any effort to
avoid arrest, that he had been to
Denver, Seattle, Canada and other
places and that he had brushed up
against policemen and detectives, but
that he was not courting arrest, be-
cause probably several years would
elapse before he was brought to trial.
sWhat is there to Orchards confess
sion?" he was asked.
II don't know. / will say this, how
ever, that was in Boise and saw Or
chard there. He said he was trying
to buy small ranch,'' replied simp-
kins.
.sWhy did he implicate you in his
confession?' was asked.
"Ie is crazy, but he evidently had
sense enough to implicate me to give
credence to his story, as he knew
had been in Boise at that time and
it would give life to his story"
