FARMER SAYS TO
GROW HOGS IN ALL
CITY BACK LOTS
Head of Farmers Congress
Favors Fixing Price Of Live
Stock and the Feed
for It.,

Repeal every city ordinance in the
state which prohibits the keeping Of a
hog in the back lot" that is the advice
of o. G. Smith of Kearney, president
of the Nebraska Farm congress.
Mr. Smith says he realizes there
would be a little fight with the health
authorities, but he feels sure that
matter could be adjusted.
He believes that in these days of
food shortage, and conservation talk,
It is vitality wrong to allow the garbage
ford Pinchot and other big speakers
are to be here.
Mr.. Smith, few years ago, bought
two thoroughbred sows and raised
two litters of blooded pigs in his back
yard in Kearney. He got seventeen
fancy pigs and sold them for an aver
age of over $50 apiece, which brought
him sum something over $500.
Tu Use the Garbage.
He elieves that in these days Of food
shortage, and conservation talk, it is
vitality wrong to allow the garbage
from the kitchen to 60 to waste when
from the ordinary home that garbage
will practically keep hog. =
f President Smith is also in favor OF
fixing the price of live stock, and OF
the feed that is necessary to produce
that live stock. He speaks particular
ly of the hog situation. He says he is
working out what he believes will be
a proper and adequate ratio between
the price of corn and the price OF
hogs. He will endeavor to have the
figures in such shape that he may
present them for consideration at the
South Omaha meeting tonight. While
he does not give out his figures yet
he intimates that he would put the
price of both corn and hogs consid.
erably lower than they are at this
time, and would yet leave enough
margin SO that the swine grower car
amply afford to grow pork.
Must Fix Prices.
Mr.. Smith is farmer himself, and
a heavy swine breeder. -
"We must fix not only the prices ol
hogs and corn" he said, "but we must
fix the prices of the other feeds which
every up-to-date swine grower nova.
days feeds to his hogs to round them
out and get the best results. We mus,
have the price of shorts and middlings
fixed as we'll as the price of corn, il
we are going to fix the price of hogs
and establish a standard which the
breeders can depend upon in raising
pork. i am confident there is way
to do this, and that the proper basis
can be reached, and / feel sure that

twelve REVENUE
AGENTS COLLECT
TOBACCO WAR TAX
Three Cent Postage Will Be
Charged Soon; Income Tax
Will Catch Many Who
Were Exempt.

Twelve deputy United States in-
ternal revenue agents started out
early Thursday morning to visit oil
retail tobacco stores in Omaha and
take inventories Of stocks on hand for
payment OF the new war tax, in ac-
cordance with the bill just signed by
President Wilson.
Inventories of retail stocks will be
taken only at first, as the tax will be
charged to the manufacturer after the
government Shall have collected the
tax on the stocks i2 the hands OF re-
tailers. st 81 rg8
The tax is mere trine on the
cheaper cigars. On cigars retailing at
less than a cents there is no increased
tax whatever On cigars retailing
from 4 cents to 7 cents each the tax
is increased Just $f per thousand
above the old rate This old rate was
S. per thousand on all kinds OF cigars,
regardless OF price. 'as as4
Cigar Tax Small.
On cigars retailing from 7 cents to
IS cents the tax is raised from the old
rate to Sc, just double. On cigars re-
failing at Is cents to 20 cents the tax
is boosted to So and on cigars retail
ing at more than 20 cents the new tax
is placed at SID per thousand:4~
So, if the cigar man should try to
tell you that your favorite Scent cigar
is now selling at 6 cents, because of
the war tax," just laugh at him and
tell him that the tax boost is only 81
per thousand cigars, which amounts
to one-tenth of cent per, cigar. II
you smoke a f0-cent or two-for-a-
quarter cigar the war tax increase
amounts to- only three-tenths Of a
cent for each cigar, which is not
enough to cause an increase in the re-
tail price. '.'
Three-Cent Postage Next.
These taxes go into effect immedi-
ately. Other taxes provided for in
the big bill go into eject at various
times, some not for a couple of
months, to allow time for the printing
