POTATOES ARE HELD
FOR HIGHER PRICE
Growers of the Northwest De.
mand What is Said to Be
Prohibitive Figures.
PLENTY IN STATE FOR SEED

There is a growing feeling among
commission men and local merchants
that the potato barons OF the north
and west part OF the state who have
been holding the crop Of last season
for higher prices are going to be
forced to hold the sack, hguratively
speaking. In other words, it is not
believed that they are going to be
able to dispose of their holding at
s. and 81 per bushel, as they expect.
The facts are that, Notwithstanding
the northern and western por-
tons OF Nebraska have potatoes and
plenty of them to spare, they are not
anxious to sell except at prices that
are practically prohibitivc. The re-
suit is potatoes have been cut from
the daily menu and people are not go
ing to cat them as an article OF gen.
eral and every day consumption until
the new stock gets cheap enough to
bring down the prices OF the old.
Many in Storage.
In the vicinity of Hemingford, Box
Butte county, it is asserted that there
are 1900 bushels of potatoes in stor-
age. A week ago an Omaha commits
sion man was up there and offered
s.. 40 per bushel for the entire lot but
the owners refused to sell for less
than So, t. o. b. From Hemingford
the freight rate into Omaha is IS
cents per bushel. The commission
man would not pay the price and the
potatoes remain in the country, yet
it is expected that a good many of
them will be sold for seed. even at
the high prices asked,
1t is said that in the country along
the Northwestern, from Valentine to
Chadron, there are not less than
10000 bushels of potatoes now held
in pits and cellars. They are for
sale, but owners are holding them at
So per bushel. Commission men will
not pay the price and the stocks re-
main where they went into storage
last fall.
Railroad and commission men as
sert that unless these potatoes in the
northern and western parts Of the
state are moved inside of thirty days,
prices will drop materially and that,
except for seed they will not fetch
much more than half the present
prices, If that much.

To Overcome Eczema

Never mind how often you have tried
and failed, you can stop burning, itching
eczema quickly by applying little zemo
furnished by any druggist for 25c. Ex-
ira large bottle, $l.00. Healing begins
the moment zemo is applied. In short
time usually every trace of eczema, tet-
ter, pimples, rash, black heads and SIM
liar skin diseases will be removed.
For clearing the skin and making it
vigorously healthy, always use zemo, the
penetrating, antiseptic liquid. 1t is not a
greasy salve and it does not stain. When
others fail it is the one dependable treat
ment for skin troubles of all kinds.

goods in a store, or Of saleable articles at a
church fair
When Pope Leo Y. found his Vatican due
ats running low, and sent out his peddlers,
loaded with Indulgences, it so happened that
monks, of peculiarly bold and brazen type,
were selected as papal auctioneers.
These peddling monks used language which
would almost convince us that they them
selves despised the business in which they
were compelled to engage.
For instance, when Tetzel would ''cry" his
goods at auction, in the market-pl he
would harangue the assembled rustics in
words like these:
10 the heavens are open; if you enter not
now, when will YOU enter?
For II pence you may redeem the soul Of
your father out Of purgatory.
Ii you had but one coat you ought to strip
yourself Of it instantly, and sell it, in order to
purchase such benefits.
AS soon as the money tinkles in the box,
the souls in purgatory instantly escape tor
ment and ascend to heaven"
(See Robertson's Charles V" Vol l. p.
1922
This Tetzel CHANGED to be peddIing his par
don-papers in the neighborhood of a pious
monk, named Martin Luther who had found
a copy of the Bible, among the musty manu-
scripts Of the monastery, and he had been
stimulated by the Bible to study Christianity
for himself.

What the Quarrel Between Martin Luther and the Pope
Ask Your Pastor to Preach on the Protestant

THIS year is the 400th, since venereally
= diseased Pope, whose designations had ex-
hausted the Vatican treasury, sent out monk
ash pedd1ers into sundry parts of Europe to
SELL at public cutlery, the papal pardons for
sin, known as "Indulgences."
Originally, an Indulgence was a financial
deal, by which the Roman Catholic vio1ator
Of church rules could square himself with his
ecclesiastical lords; just as the peasants, under
the Feudal System, could pay money to the
landlord and escape mental service, or mill
tary CONSUMPTION.
But as the Papal usurpation grew in power,
1t naturally grew also in greed.
Euch successful aggression encouraged the
popes to attempt another; and so it was, that
the Bishops of Rome finally became Gods-on-
earth, in the eyes Of devout, superstitious
Catholics.
1t logically follows that if we have a God
on earth, this God can forgive sins
Inasmuch as the popes had, in the course
of thousand years, reached that monstrous
height of self-assertion, they changed the
original doctrine of Indulgence.
What had formerly been nothing more than
the remission of church penalties (similar to
the remission of fine by one of our courts)
became q pardon for SIN.
This preposterous usurpation Of Gods
power was carried to such extreme lengths,
that the popes sold Indulgences which wiped
out all crimes past, present, and future; and
the price to be paid was set against each crime,

From October Is to November 15 the cost of food in the United States jumped per cent.
 It now takes s2.0S to buy what s1 purchased in 1896.
 Eggs and butter have increased nearly 50 per cent in the last year.
 The average working mans family spends about 45 per cent of its an nual income on food.
 The average human being eats nearly twice as much as he needs.
 A great deal of human energy, which might be used to advantage in other ways, is wasted getting rid of surplus undigested food.
 Half the work of digestion is ac- compIshed in the mouth before the food is even swallowed.
 The more you chew the less you eat.

 Starches and sugars, the greater part of which we eat, can only be di- gested in the mouth.

BLACKLEG AMONG CATTLE

l. M. Jackson, the well known cow man, was in from Anita last week, where his cattle range during the winter months. Mir. Jackson says that in riding the range since the re- cent snows he discovered three young steers dead of blackleg. Mir. Jackson is of the opinion as are most cattle men, that the disease is brought on by a sudden lack of feed especially among animals that have been in previous prime condition.
 Cattle had been doing fine until the late snows and cold weather came; the feed was covered up for couple weeks, but snows have gone now re- lieving the situation. There was con- siderable anxiety on the part of stockmen during the past few weeks on this account, though losses have not been as great as was at first ex- pected.

It is evident from this early sale of wool at so high a price that those who sold their clip this year under 45 cents have lost money on their product.
 It is also apparent to a careful ob- server that the high price of wool is caused by the great demand, .se ther than from sudden fiuctuation of the market.
