Uni Of Omaha Professor
Finds Cheap Extractor

Prof. Leland Lewis, head Of the
chemistry department of the Univer-
sity OF Omaha, has been working on
a fat extractor for some time and
last "Wednesday announced to his
classes in food chemistry that the de-
vice was III working order. 1t is
simple and inexpensive. Those in use
now cost anywhere from SIS to $40,
while the new ones costs about 40
cents. The principle is the same,
that of using ether, and the results are
very accurate. A number of the ap-
parati may be seen working in the
university's chemistry laboratory.

After a lot of litigation and many

been reached between the old county of
Stanley and the two new counties of
Faakon and Jackson, which were form

ownership, though the government in
some way controls their operation. In
the areas of Belgium, Poland and parts
OF France which have been occupied
by h Teutonic Allies there are some
5000 miles of railways which at pres
ent are Entirely under military control.
Turning to the countries of the En-
tente Alliance, the statement finds thai
in h United Kingdom none of the
$4,000 miles Of roads is government
owned or operated. In France only
about 5000 miles out of an aggregate
mileage of $4,000 are held by the state,
although the French government has
close relations to a large part of the
remaining lines by reason of the
special terms of their charters or the
conditions under which they were
built. In Italy some 5000 miles of the
1000 miles Of railway in the country
are government controlled. while in
Russia about 66 per cen of the en-
pire's $4,000 miles are owned and, in
most cases, operated by the govern
ment.

A GROWING INDUSTRY

The American beet-sugar crop has
grown quite steadily Of late years. and
this years crop, $4,000 tons, will b.
Il recOrd-breaker. Beet sugar produc-
ton in this country has been s~tatisti
cally important since 1901. when 1874
900 tons We're produced, and Thu
years production is five times that
amount, while it is POO. 600 tons larger
than in 1913, the year before the war
started. In the year 1914 Germany
produced 5000, 900 tons. Russia 1851
Geo tons, and Austria-Hungary 1885
600 tons. 1t will be seer that this
country's production this year is near
ly One-third of Germany's record pro-
ductiOn and one-half of Austria-Hun-
gary's total. France in 1928 pro
duced $4,000 tons, but this was cut 10
$4,000 tons in 1914-15. so that the
United States today is easily fourth in
beot-s,gar output. Great as has been
the activity in beet-sugar production of
iolc years III tlllS country, sun greater
results are looked for with the continue
ance of the war abroad. For nine
months ending September 80, 1916, the
imports of beet-sugar seeds into this
country totaled 18.475,0 900 pounds, or
more than was imported in the entire
year 1913. Before the war, according
to the Department of Agriculture, Ger
many was the chief source of sugar
beet seeds, but this trade is now in
the hands of the Russians. In the
fiscal year 1914 Germany supplied
nearly 5000. 900 pounds out of a total
of TO- $50, 900 pounds the remainder
coming chiefly from Austria Hungary,
Russia and Holland. In the fiscal veal
1916, however, Russia supplied $751;
946 pounds out of a total of 9,O42, 400
pounds. 1t is an interesting fact that
exports of refined sugar in the first
nine months of 1916 totaled 1888, $780,
984 pounds. or nearly so per ctnt more
than during the whole calendar year
1915, three and one-half times more
than in 1914. and twenty-six times
more than in 1913.

Merchants in Morris are CONSIDERING

At Candy the merchants have unit
ed on a cash basis and the scheme
works fine. Many who have been in
the habit or settling once a year are
now paying cash and they say the
new idea is satisfactory. Under the
charge privileges they say they bought
many articles not needed but now
they are more careful about expendi-
lures. Parties with satisfactory re-
ferences and financial backing are al
lowed thirty-day credit. Unless they
pay at the end of the month, credit
ceases.
In discussing the matter of credits
at a local store yesterday we'll known
farmer living near Morris stated his
views to the store keeper. His main
line of argument was substantially
this: 81 do not actually need credit
at all times but invariably l run
credit account with you. My bills
accumulate, at an astonishing rate
and l know we are buying many things
we would not if had to dig up the
cash every time l get the goods. But
when 1 come to settle you give me a
good cigar, throw in a bag of candy
for the children or you remember the
Mrs. with a small present. 1t is all
very nice but it amounts to paying a
premium on credit: I use your money
for longer or shorter time and then
you pay me for doing so. Why should

In the year 1864 the Empress Cath
crime II was seated upon the throne
OF Russia, but not so firmly that she
really enjoyed herself. In those days
it was impossible TO throw brick
in Russia without hitting two or three
conspiratOrs. Intrigue was a profess
sion rather than a pastime, and the
leading patriots had a disagreeable
habit of strangling and otherwise muir
dering their rulers.
So Catherine. as she sat on her
throne, reigning according To the rules
laid down by the National league, kept
close tab on all that was going on,
not only in Russia but wherever it was
possible TO have her spies. She was
determined that she wouldn't be taken
unawares. One day she received a
message from Florence, to the effect
that Prince Charles Radziwill was
paying court to Helen Tarakanoff. and
it was the general belief in Italy that
the two would soon be married.
Catherine became so agitated that
she almost upset her throne when
she sprang to her feet and shrieked an
order for Prince Gregory OrlOf to
wait upon her.

belle of Florence and Leghorn for sew
eral seasons. Her beauty was cele,
