LOGAN IS IN kEN PROJECT
NORFOLK MAN INTERESTED IN
STREET SIGN COMPANY.
SEEKING OMAHA FRANCHISE
w. p. Logan Of This City and Willis
Mcbride OF Eleln are Interested In
National Street Sign Company.
Have a New Idea.

A Norfolk man Is interested in an
Omaha project which Is receiving a
great deal of attention from the
Omaha papers at this time.
w. p. Logan OF Norfolk and willis
Mcbride of Elgin are two of the eight
men who are back OF the National
Street Sign company which is seeking
a street sign franchise from the city
council of Omaha.
Signs are to be installed on every
street intersection in Omaha. The
signs are to be of neat design and the
expense of their installation will be
about $4,000. The question at Omaha
Is whether the city will eXpend several
thousand dollars for the signs or give
the National Street Sign company a
contract to erect them free and get its
money out of an advertising privilege.
The income of the company would
come from the valuable advertising
space which 1t would acquire in con-
nection with the sign posts. The com.
pany Is new one, Is handling a new
idea and Is making its first venture
at Omaha.
The Omaha World-Hearld speaking
Of the project says: "a new ordin-
ance introduced in the city council
provides for contract with the Ma
Street Sign company for placing street
signs at all the street intersections
for period of seven years. The
latter proposition provides that this
shall be done without expense of the
city, and the company shall have the
right to place metal advertising
sign on each post of the same as that
bearing the name of the street, for
advertising purposes. 1t Is provided
that the city shall receive five per
cent of the gross receipts Of the COM
pany. The incorporators Of the com.
pany are Willis Mcbride, w. p. Logan,
Harry G. Graham and Charles e. Will
kinson.

learn of all the legitimate claims which
old soldiers have for pensions or for
pension increases. When he comes
across a war veteran who has no just

Observation-Disclosures
CATTLE POURING TO MARKET
FROM THE RANGE.
MANY FROM NEW LINE AT DALLAS
Last Week Was The Biggest Week Of
Cattle Shipment Through Norfolk
Over Northwestern In Roads His.
tory Excepting Once in 1905.

This last week has been big week
in the range cattle movement from the
northwest through Norfolk to Omaha
and Chicago markets. Thousands of
cattle from the western range have
filled the long lines of trains passing
through Norfolk in unusual numbers.
1t was big week. in the cattle bus
mess. Its only equal was one week
back in 1905 when a record in the cat
tie movement over the Northwestern
was established.
During the shipment week which
closed Friday 715 cars Of western
range stock was loaded west of Long
Pine and beyond the Rosebud. All of
this stock passed through Norfolk dur
ing the week over the Northwestern,
calling some thirty-five special stock
trains into play.
1t was a busy week for the North
western, these big shipments made by
the northwest cattlemen to market.
Adding the regular and special stock
trains to the through trains from the
range country fully sixty stock trains
went through the city last week.
The record made by the range stock
movement in the western country in
1905 was I'll cars. Last week with the
Ills cars made the nearest approach
to these figures.
Now that the range stock is swing
ing into market it does not appear that
the movement will fall much If any
below the figures for last year.
In the movement Of the present sea-
son the new extension into Dallas cuts
a considerable figure. This Is the first
season that range stuff has come over
the Bonesteel line, the Dallas extern
sion bringing the Northwestern into
the country that formerly shipped from
Valentine and other points on the west
line as well as over the new Milwau-
kee extension.
The range shipping week runs from
Friday to Friday with the railroads.
After Friday the big business Of the
week sets in and starts to fall away by
Tuesday or Wednesday.

Former United Setates Senator
William V. Allen of Madison, who

Good Sheep Good Property.

The Farm Stock Journal says that
the sheep OF the past were kept chiefly
for WOOL which sharply fluctuates, but
in recent years there has developed
worldwide demand for mutton. This
demand is increasing. 1t will continue
to increase as meat consumers BETTER
understand the excellent qualities OF
mutton. This insures for the sheep
keeper, two stable market products
from his Lockwood and mutton.
Sheep keeping comes nearer being,
safe and surely profitable industry than
ever before. Yet, it must be remem-
bered that the scrub sheep with her
scanty, uneven fleece, and runty lambs,
vies successfully with the scrub COW
in leading her owner to the gates of
bankruptcy. It is the full and half
breed sheep and lambs that top the
markets, the full and half-breed feeces
that lead the wool market quotations.
They are yielding handsome diyi
dends, and in times of depression, will
enable their owners to keep clear of
the rocks of disaster. 1t pays to
breed the best, whether it be sheep,
swine, cattle Or horses.

THE WHOLE FAMILY
Mother Finds q Food For Grown.Ups
and Children as Well.

Food that can be eaten with relish
and benefit by the children as well as
the older members Of the family,
makes pleasant household commod-
ity.
Such a food is Grape-Nuts. 1t not
only agrees with and builds up chill
dren, but older persons who, from
bad habits of eating, have become
dyspeptics.
A Phila. lady, after being benefited
herself, persuaded her husband to try
Grape-Nuts for stomach trouble. She
writes:
about eight years ago I had Sc
we're attack Of congestion Of stomach
and bowels. From that time on I had
to be very careful about eating, as
nearly every kind Of food then known
to me seemed to cause pain.
-Four years ago I commenced to
use Grape-Nuts. I grew stronger and
better, and from that time seldom

Indigestion Of Fowls.

For mild attacks of Indigestion oc-
curing when there is no reason to sup
pose the trouble is due to the quality
of food, there is nothing better-noth-
ing so good, in fact-as fasting, letting
the fowls go without food, excepting
green food, for one OF two days, then
feeding them sparingly. In highly fed
hens the digestive system is often over
worked. A system of feeding and
quality cf food that one. hen or one
flock stands all right may be too much
for another. The poultry keeper has
to Judge Of what and how to feed, not
by someone else's results, but by re-
suits in his own yards. To get good
growth and heavy egg production we
must feed heavily, and in feeding heav-
lily we are always running risks Of
breaking down the digestive systems by
overwork. So the poultryman should
watch closely for signs Of indigestion,
especially lack of appetite or loose
ness of the bowels, and when such
symptoms appear let the hens go with
out grain for feed or several feeds, as
the case may seem to require. Care
full attention to this point is the best
preventive of digestive disorders. l

Two Hindrances to Growth.

They seem to come to all hogs and
we should be ready to combat them.
They are lice and worms. The man
who never does anything to keep away
lice l believe is losing money.
There is no more effective method of
getting rid of lice in mild weather
than by dipping. But whether you
have dipping plant or not there
should be some provision for applying
a disinfectant by spraying or sprink-
ling.
We use cheap quality of kerosene
and apply very lightly but often. 9th
er liquids may lie better, but the kero-
sene is useful for many things and
it is always ready. We have five
gallon can for oil for the stock and
poultry. 1t is good to apply a few
drops to the feed which serves a
purpose similar to that of the exter-
nal application. This seems to be an
effective remedy for the coughs COM
} mon among hogs.
For worms we give turpentine mixed
with the feed. The proper use Of these
liquids requires that they be admins
tered frequently and IN small quanti-
ties.

frozen. They are found everywhere
in the vicinity, but chief source
of supply is Salem, N. j., where the
catching of them is something OF an
industry. Whenever they are found
they are frozen and kept until the
supply on hand is sufficient for ship
ment, and then dispatched to this
city. They are eaten in many small
places by people who catch them, but
are not sold at retail except in the
larger Philadelphia Record.
