Ice Man is Not
All Too Joyous
He Refuses to Begin Counting His
Next Summers Millions
Just Now.

No local Ice dealer will estimate, at this
time, how much Of a bank account he is
to accumulate by reason Of the present cold
snap. 1t may mean millions, or it may
mean only a few hundred thousands.
Men who deal in ice are not full OF so
much JOY as the ordinary patron Of the
summer ice wagon would think at this
particular season of the year. The below
zero hours have aid a fine foundation for
next years profits and two or three days
more would assure a good crop, perhaps.
Still the ice gatherers do not enthuse over
the prevailing conditions so that their
Santa Claus guffaw is noticeable. All the
streams and ponds are covered with snow,
which fell on a wet surface and the com
bination does not make good ice. Later and
better weather must be awaited before the
companies that harvest ice for household
use can get busy with their marking plows
and their cutting crews. Ice being made
these cold nights will do for packing and
storage purposes, however.

COLONEL TANNING WOULD
AVOID THOSE DEAD ONES
TrembIes on Eve of Egyptian Tour
Lest PharOah's Mummies Revive
Long Forgotten Fright.

Colonel Charles E Tanning, while pol
ishing up his side arms preparatory to
packing his uniform for the proposed trip
to Egypt, found wrapped around his trusty
sword several copies of the Indicator, once
issued by Butler & Mahoney, political pro-
motors.
One OF the first items he ran across in the
almost forgotten publication told OF a
scare he got one night at a political meet
ing held in an undertaker's office. During
the conference il was necessary for Colonel
flaming, then a plain mister, to retire for
a consultation With another man he
stepped into a rear room. When a light
was turned on he was shocked to the
marrow to find a dead colored mar lying
on a slab alongside him. Tanning moved
out quick, not having his hoodoo chaser
with him, and since then has been careful
to know what is in any dark room he
enters.
THE thought has occurred to me-" said
the colonel. as he polished off a spot on
his weapon, that in Egypt they have
corpses laying around promiscuous, that
were laid out several years ago. This
thought has led me to wonder II I want to
go 70 tina country. after all.
I wish the best there is to every person
who has gone ahead. but I am not in the
least partial to cadaverS To study in a
medical school never was one OF my
lunches, and unless can be assured that
we may dodge the mummy caves, John
Mcdonald will have 70 go TO the old
stamping ground OF Cleopatra alone.
I'd rather go to Lincoln than TO a place
where one stumbles over dead people at
every step. OF course, there are dead ones,
and dead ones, but the defunct Of the an
Client days would get on my nerves worse
than those sewer diggers on Eighteenth
street Maybe Omaha will suit me this
winter. with an occasional side trip to

OF OLDER WORKERS
FOR GOVERNMENT IN OMAHA
Veterans of Federal Building Begin
ming to Feel weight OF Years
Under Hard Work.

An Oslerization Of the public service. pur-
suant to the policy of the government at
Washington, Is being felt in the public
service departments in and about Omaha
This is noticed more particularly about the
federal building, where the older men will
sooner or later have to give way to younger
blood. Several of the aged employees about
the federal building are beginning to find
that the work exacted OF them is gradually
attacking their diminishing strength to a
degree that they cannot meet. 1t is posi-
BILE that two or three Of these old veterans
must soon retire from the public service
voluntarily.
I'VE much dislike to realize that we must
soon dispense with the services of these
good and faithful men, said Postmaster
Thomas. but human endurance has its
limit. The old veterans cannot stand the
work much longer, and it is their desire TO
give up the arduous work exacted OF them
rather than the disposition Of the govern
ment to displacs them"

HARD TIMES TEST A PROOF
Assistant Secretary OF Agriculture
Comes from WashingtOn to Di-

Breeders' Association.

Food prices will never be cheap again."
said wilett NJ. Hays, assistant secretary
Of agriculture and president Of the Ameri-
can Breeders association, which opened
its session Wednesday afternoon at the
Rome. Mr.. Hays came directly from Wash
iurton. when foodstuffs stood up under
hard times with an abundant market and
a small amount OF money. as they DID dur
ing the recent hard times, 1t is certain that
we viii never see the time when the prod
ucts of the farm viii be as cheap as they
we expect TO nave quite an attendance
OF our association here in Omaha, although
many are college professors and have TO
come a long ways, and you know college
professors and breeders have not as much
money as bankers, although they are deal
ing in bigger things. Bankers cannot get
as large returns on their Investments as
breeders. Our returns vary from 1 to lc
to to 100 on the money invested and you
can figure that that is an increase OF
1000 per cent. Some enormous profits al
ready have been mad b. scientific breed

How to Conserve Fruit.
The men who are working at animal
and plant breeding in the United States
saw a striking way Of making food cheaper
at little cost, that is, by creating new and
better breeds by which the production In
this country could be increased. some
crops could be increased 10 per cent by
having a better variety. and most OF US
who are studying plant and animal breed
ing believe that the entire crop and animal
production in the United States could be
Increased from 5 to 10 per cent This COM
bined production last year was 8,750, 100000,
and the increase mentioned would be val
ued at about 500. OO0 1900. This would in
crease the profits Of the farm and should
decrease the prices TO the consumers for
food and clothing. We are not looking
tar too big q reduction. for We will never
have cheap times again. J. J. Hill sounded
that key note when he said we we're not
produc. ng enough and that the amount
per acre should be increased.
This idea OF better breeding is sure to
be taken up more when II Is understood.
II costs much less to breed seeds well than
to play well. We are trying to get all the
agriculturists at work along the breedins
lines and we want 70 bring the scientists
to develope plant and animal life. We in
