Here's the Press
Agent; the Show
Is Coming Today
Odds bodkins.


All of which has nothing to do with
which the press agent started his recital
and since this has to do with press
agents and elephants and blood sweat
ing behemoths and other thing of the
wild animal type, the expression is al
lowed to remain.
In spite of that fact that 1t has moth
ing to do with the case For the real
point at hand is that he aforementioned
press agent and other animals are soon
e. come into their own. Today there
will roll into Omaha the long, gaudy

Beg pardon? Yes, by accident the press

lures Among them is wonderful girl

nops. arrests, front and back somer-
sarlts from the back of horse, that

one in the circus business. Then too
there Is KID Mccoy. the famous prize
fighter, who will present an innovation

PRUDENT TREATMENT OF EVE
In Winter Keep Her on Glover or Al
falfa Hay Until After Lamb
Corr es-Give Some Wheat Bran.

A sensible treatment of the eve
that lambs in winter is to keep her
mostly on clover or alfalfa hay until
after her lamb comes. There will be
no need to limit the amount OF hay
that she consumes after lambing and
theI when Ler lamb takes all her
milk and wishes more, begin feeding
her little wheat bran. For week
bran will suffice, gradually increasing
the amount fed, then there may be
added to it little chopped corn or
barley and little later some oil-meal.
A pound a day of this mixture will
keep her in good milk flow and it
must be gradually led up to for about
ten days.
About the right proportions of this
mixture. are 10U pounds of wheat bran,
pounds of oil-meal. This with clover
or alfalfa hay will push her to very
heavy milk flow. If she is large
eve she may consume more than a
pound to advantage, as much as two
pounds being consumed by some large
Dorset ewes.
If this feed is so gradually intro
duced to the eve that her digestion is
not disturbed nor her milk flow slim
ulated too much at first, there is small
danger of overlooking her, supposing
that the lamb is to be pushed for
early market. Her unselfish nature
turns the feed quickly into milk and
little of it goes to nourish her own
body.

them of attempting to induce the rela-

plight to stories circulated by Chi

tracts from survivors of the mine ex-
plosion authorizing him to sue the
Shoal Creek Coal company, at whose
mine the accident occurred.

HORSES IN STORMY WEATHER
Sufficient Care Not Always Observed
When Animal Has Been Heated
After Strenuous Drive.

1t is not generally realized to what
an extent loss in horsefiesh is suf-
fered on account of exposure in stormy
and cold weather, not only in cities,
but also on farms. When the horse is
driven rapidly or required to draw
heavy loads, the action of the heart is
increased, the blood circulates more
freely and rapidly to the lungs and
the surface of the body, and he be-
comes heated Then the horse sweats
more or less, and when in this condi-
ton is more sensitive and more liable
to be injured by currents of cold air or
by exposure to rain. This is not suf-
ficiently considered, and it is a very
common occurrence to see such
horse left by his driver to stand in the
street without any protection what
ever until he is chilled through Even
where there is some appearance of
care, in the way of providing a blanket
for use on such occasions, this is fire.
quently put on in such a way as to
leave the most sensitive portions of
the body exposed. When a horse is
allowed to stand so the currents of
cold air strike the breast, the result
is likely to be more or less serious
lung trouble, and this may be brought
about in much less time than many
suppose.

RUSS REPORT NEW GAINS
Teutons Driven From Strongest
Height Between Lupkow and Uzsok
Passes in Carpathians.

Petrograd, April 12.-The Austro-
German armies, battling desperately
to defend Hungary from invasion,
have been driven back further along
the whole front in the Carpathians,
according to the Russian war office.
The Russian forces, which have made
themselves masters of the principal
chain of mountains from Dukla pass
to UzsOk pass, are continuing their
advance and have driven the German
forces from Hill 992, the strongest de-
tense point between the two principal
routes into Hungary. The Russian
column which entered Hungary
through the Dukla pass also has
pressed the Austrians back in the
Ondawa river valley and is pushing
toward Mezolaborcz in a fanking
movement which is intended to make
untenable the positions Of the Austro-
German forces defending the Lupkow
and UZsok routes into Hungary.

Manufacturers Believe They
Have Devised an Improve
ment of Worth.
HAS SOME NOVEL FEATURES
Designed So That It Operates Eff
GENTLY With a Small or a Heavy
Charge, Making the Engine
Most Suitable for priv
ing an Automobile.

In an attempt to take advantage or
the theoretical superiority Of the two
cycle gas engine over the four-cycle
engine, one of the largest automobile
manufacturers in the country has TAX
en- out patents for improvements that
apparently overcome the disadvan-
tages heretofore connected with the
use of two-cycle engines on automo-
biles. A fOur-cycle engine makes four
strokes of the piston or two revolu-
tions of the fiywheel for each eXplo-
sion, while the two-cycle engine makes
two strokes of the piston or one revo-
luton of the f1ywheel. In a four-cy-
Gle engine, the return stroke of the
piston, after it has been forced out
by the explosion of the gas, empties
or 'scavenges" the cylinder of the
burned gases, which are forced out
through the exhaust port. AS the
piston goes out again it draws in
fresh supply of gas. On the next in
ward stroke it congresses the gas,
and as it reaches the end of the stroke
the gas is ignited and the piston is
again forced out by the explosion OF
the gas. The principal disadvantage
in this type of engine is in the valves
and III the cam shafts, and other APP
paratus, required for opening and
closing them at just the right times.
The two-cycle engine is valveless, the
ports being opened and closed by the
piston In this type of engine the gas
first enters the crank case, being
drawn in by the piston as it moves
toward the opposite end of the cyl
inder. This movement of the piston
also congresses the gas already in
the cylinder and at the end of the
stroke the gas is ignited Near the
end OF the return stroke the piston
uncovers the exhaust port as well as
the entry port at the end of a bypass
connecting with the crank case. The
gas in the crank case, which has been
compressed by the return stroke of
