Milwaukee railroad officials report
there never has been a year when
crop prospects along the lines in Iili-
nois, Iowa and Minnesota were bet
ter. Small grain is heading and farm
ers everywhere are enthusiastic over
prospects for a bumper crop. Corn

will be finished by July 10.
The corn acreage in Milwaukee ter

were referred TO the committee OF
the whole for discussion.

lect garbage in districts seven and ten
being territory south of Woolworth
avenue, without expense to the city
but offering no premium because this
section is not as profitable.

extends west of Twenty-sixth street
to the Belt line, and between Farnanl
and Davenport streets.
The bids for the downtown district

nances relating to garbage hauling.

Fourth Of July Crowds on
All the Nebraska Railroads

None of the Nebraska railroads ran
excursion trains into the hundreds of
towns where celebrations were held
yesterday. but they all carried large
crowds. In many instances, in order
to handle the passenger traffic, extra
coaches were added, and as rule they
were filled. Reports indicate that
there was not an accident in which
passenger was injured. The only
mishap in train movements was at
Wahoo, where Union Pacific loco
motive ran into Northwestern pas
senger train at crossing, throwing

No Summer Vacation for
Commercial Club Worker,

Probably no summer adjournment
will be taken. by the executive COM
nittee and the other working COM
niittees of the Commercial club this
year.
War conditions are largely respon-
sible for this. There are many things
that need to be looked after in con-
nection with the war upon which the
country is embarking. The loss Of the
cantonment site, the club thinks, may
after all have been not so serious in
the light of the many other things
of importance that may come up be-
fore the war is over.
