HIGH PRICES DRAW GRAIN
Like Magnet, Tempting Money Lures
Corn and Wheat Away.
OMAHA RECEIPTS ARE STRONG
Oats Have Been Going ont of the
COuntry az n Surprising
Rate During the LAST
Month.

Like a magnet, the high prices for wheat
and corn continue to draw grain out OF
the country-out Of territory where short
crops were reported and where more or
less accurate reports have said from time
to time that there is no grain remaining
in the hands of growers.
The receipts Of corn and wheat at the
Omaha market during August are only a
little short of the receipts for the same
month last year. The total receipts as
shown I'm the report Of thd Grain exchange
issued Tuesday, are 4,517,50O bushels, as
compared with 5,C55. 200 bushels for the
same month last year. This is a decrease
of but 537. 100 bushels.
The country has given up oats at a sur.
prising rate during the month, r,OS3, 2G
bushels being sent TO the Omaha market
which brought prices ranging from AZ &c
47% cents per hushel. Last year the re.
ceipts for August were $40, 200, the gain In
receipts during the month Just passed belng
10000 bushels.
Receipts Of wheat and corn both fell off
but It is regarded as miraculous by grair
dealers that the country should send grair
to market almost equal to the amount sem
last year during the same month, when Il
has been commonly supposed that almost
all the grain was out of the country.
Prospect of New Crops.
But the prospect of the new crop in
fluenced the farmers to sell all old grair
and theree are many car loads of new
grain in the August report said a grain
dealer. ut takes good prices to draw GU
the grain"
The report shows that more than 10000
bushels of the grain shipped to Omaha
during the month remains in the elevators
This is an unusually large amount of grail
to be left in storage in the elevators dur
ing the month.
The following is the detailed report of re
ceipts for the month of August, as com
pared to the same month last year;

COUNTY GETS MORE MONEY
VIII Derive About Five Hundred Dol
lars Extra from Fee Rule
Made by sheriff.

Douglas county finances will gain by
about $500 a year from the new rule estab-
lished by Sheriff Bradley of reporting all
fees collected for what are known az
foreign papers" These are summons and
writs issued by courts outside Of Douglas
county and sent here to be served on
residents of this county. Heretofore the
sherlffs have considered these fees as per-
quisites of the office and did not turn
them over to the county treasurer.
Figures compiled in the sheritf's office
show that from January 8 to August i the
amount collected was $2iS.45. Former
sheriffs have never kept a record of these
fees, so It is impossible to tell now much
they amounted to in previous years

Changes Following Oar
lows Resignation.

-
When the annual reports Of all the rail-
roads Of the United states have been made
II viii be found that the Union Pacific will
make the best showing Of any in the mat
ter of the ratio OF transportation costs to
gross revenue and operating expenses to
gross revenue. The Union Pacific trans
portstion costs were but Is per cent Of the
gross earnings and the operating expenses
were $50 per cent of the gross receipts.
Other large western lines will be far
above that ratio. The Great Northern, the
Atchison and the Northern Pacific will ex-
pend Il per cent more in moving traffic.
In the case OF the Milwaukee the ratio is
40 per cent higher and the Frisco nearly IS
per cent, higher. These figures are based
on the reports to the Interstate Commerce
commission.
In the matter of maintenance the Union
Pacific spent but s29I,94z less than the year
before, when expenses were exceptionally
heavy. Maintenance of ways last year was
s765, 900 less than in 1907. and maintenance
Of equipment was $4,000 greater, so the
total maintenance was $4,000 less. The
liberality of maintenance accounts in a
large measure for the low per cent of OPP
Grating cost.

Usefulness of Iceberos.

Its long journey its bottom parts are
barnacled with sand, powders and
other detritus gathered from the land
surface over which it has made its
tedious march to the sea. This bur
den 1t gradually casts off as it melts
while drifting down along our CONT
mental seaboard. AS a result of the
deposits thus made through count
less centuries, combined with the
product of erosion carried seaward
by the rivers. the seabed for many
miles off shore has been gradually
hlled up, creating those vast, sub
merged plateaus, known as banks"
which extend from Labrador to the
Bay of Fundy and form the breeding
grounds of innumerable shoals of
cod herring, and other valuable food
fishes. In this way the bergs have
performed an economic service of in
calculable value. laying the founda-
ton for one of the worlds most inn
portant productive industries, and af-
fording a means of livelihood to those
hardy bands of captains courageous"
who each year reap the harvests Of
the sea. The bergs serve a further
economic purpose in that to their
tempering influence are largely due
the climatic conditions prevailing
over great part of the interior of
North America.-The World To-Day.

The Origin of Gloves.

1t is not known when gloves were
hrst invented, but they are very anc-
lent. The first clear account of
them comes from Xenophon. where
the writer speaks of the Persians
wearing them to protect their hands
from cold. Homer describes Laer-
ties working in his garden with gloves
to protect his hands from thorns. and
Varro mentions the wearing of gloves
by the Romans. Gloves have long
had a symbolic meaning. In the
eleventh century came the custom OF
throwing down a glove as a chal-
lenge, and gloves were early used in
church rites. They were not worn
by women until after the Reforma-
ton. In preparing the leather for
gloves it had TO be "fulled" with a
peculiar kind of clay to lend it soft
ness and fleXibility, and this was a
trade the secret of which was guard
ed for many years. The men who
knew this trade were called fullers.
and thus the proper name of Fuller
came into Washington
