Attention, Calamity Howlers

Three million dollars worth of thresh-
ing machines will be bought by farmers
of Nebraska this year, according to the
estimate of implement men. G. E. Mil
Ter, manager of the local branch Of the
Avery Implement Co.. Omaha, declares
that more threshers are being sent to
the State and sold than for the past eight
years. Other farm implements are in
demand 10 corresponding ratio.
Recently train comprising 80 cars,
loaded with threshing machinery alone,
was sent to the Lincoln branch of one Of
the big threshing machine firms. With
wheat prospects such that the crop IL
practically assured now, the factories
making this class OF product are limited
in output only by their capacity.

"ChareIn9 1t" at the Crocer's

In a conference upon the cost of food,
under the auspices of the Association
for Improving the-Condition of the Poor,
Alfred d. Woodruff, of the Bureau of
Food Supply, gave startling account Of
what happens when the grocer charges
it,"
1--WE have found" he said, 'that on
ly about 20 per cent. pay their bills
promptly in 30 days; % per cent. take
from one to three months to pay; 40 per
cent ever pay in full and 2 per cent do
not pay at ALL" With such drawbacks
to the credit system it is not astonishing
that grocers go bankrupt in spite OF high
nominal profits"
Mr.. Woodruff thinks that if women
will pay as much attention to domestic
economy as to "dress, bridge parties and
tango teas; if they will pay cash. buy in
large quantities and test short weights,
not less than 25 per cent. might be de-

Helping The Unfortunate.

"A Ladder for the Down and Out. !"
That is what building in Chicago is
often called, although it is actually
named the Rufus F. Dawes Hotel, after
the man TO whom its erection is due.
1t was founded to carry out the de-
sire of Mr. Dawes deceased son to give
men who are down and out" lift. He
had often spoken of the need of an insti-
tuition that should give helping hand
TO the man who earnestly desired work,
but who could not afford to pay for
board and shelter while seeking it
The building is the fathers memorial
TO his son. 1t cost 800, 900 TO build it,
and on the opening night three hundred
down-and-outs struggled in from snow
storm that ragged outside. Some OF them
sat down before the broad open fireplace
in the spacious lobby, which soon as
sumed the appearance of a club room
Others, who had few coppers, bought
strings of tickets, which entitled the
