TWO U. p. TRAINS TO BE
INSTALLED AGAIN MAY 8?

Even the unofficial announcement
of the Union Pacific that the new
train service will be put on next
month is good rumor to the general
public. While the announcement
has not been made from the head
officials and placed on the bulletin
board it has become generally cir
culated from the head offices that
the new service is going to be in
stalled about May 5. Since the two
fast trains we're taken off last fall
the one fast train each way has been
unable to handle the traffic and on
the evening and early morning train
two engines have been used from
this city to Kansas City and return.
The coaches are crowded so that
many persons have to stand in the
alsIes and slow time is being made
at almost as great an expense as the
service of the two fast trains and
prompt service and accommodations

GOSSIP OF SOCIETY.

"The second Sunday in May has
in recent years had the distinction
of being Mothers day. Services in
honor of the mother, and in recogni-
ton of her faithfulness, gentleness,
and devotion to the home are held
in many of the churches and In most
of the Sunday schools. The white
carnation has been selected as the
flower to be worn on the corsage,
belt or coat lapel on Monther's day.
No flower of the garden or field
could be a happier choice than this
to be worn as mothers own flower.
Pure as drifted snow, spicy and fra
grant, and possessing lasting quail
ity beyond that of lily or rose, the
white carnation stands for all that
mother is to the family and the
race. Margaret e. sangster, in
the May Woman's Home Companion.

sILOs ARE VERY POPULAR.
Dickinson Farmers Are Buying Them
by Carloads.

Several carloads Of silos have
been sold to Dickinson county farm
ers this spring. The silo is getting
in its inning at the present time
and from the above 1t becomes APP
parent that the farmers are getting
nightly interested in them and are
realizing the great saving Of nutri-
ton in the stalk fed from the shock
and the modern silo way.
In fact the difference between corn
stalks in the field or in the shock,
as compared with corn silage for
the feeding of stock on the farm, is
about the same as oats or well-cook-
ed oatmeal on the breakfast table
for the members of the household,
or shelled corn or well-cooked corn
bread for the same family on the
dinner table. Most any good house
wife can tell which the children
relish the more and which is the
most wholesome diet. SO any practi-
cal farmer knows that dry corn
stalks. shredded corn fodder or corn
fodder in the shock are not to be
compared with silage, a perfectly
prepared food for all his live stock
on the farm, from the chickens to
the draft horse.
