Chicken Absc RIBS Water.

A chicken thrown into ice-water to
remove animal heat and sent to mar
ket in a barrel in direct contact with
cracked ice, it is pointed out, abSorbs
water for which the consumer has to
pay chicken prices. The water also
dissolves out from the chicken valu-
able f~lavoring and nutritive sub
stances. These go into the water at
the bottom of the barrel along with
filth that is washed from dirty feet
and bloody heads and trickles down

Dry Packed Chicken.

With a dry-packed chicken the ami
NAL heat is removed by hanging the
bird in an artifcially cooled room
maintained at nearly freezing temper
ature. The chicken is then packed
into q box containing u birds and sent
to market. The box is hauled in re-
frigerator cars and is kept by good
retailers in good ice boxes until sold.
The bird is never wet has no chance
TO absorb water or become washed out.
A bird should be wet until 1t
gets a final quick rinsing off in the
housewives kitchen. The practice OF
some housewives Of soaking a chicken
after Ii is dressed, in a pan Of wa
ter even for an hour or two helps TO
leach out valuable qualities.

prepared by the United States Depart

Wet-packing a broiler and sending
1t to market in ice causes it to lose
13 per cen of its value while fowls
lose about fen per cent, according to
Investigations by the United States
department of agriculture. If dry
packed broilers are worth 40 cents,
wet-packed brOilers are not worth
more than 80 cents; and if dry-packed
fowls cost 80 cents. wet-packed ones
should not cost more than 81 cents.
The department specialists point out
that consumers who pay the same
price for dry-packed ones, are losing
money.

FARMERS SEEK
HIGHER PRICE
FOR Their milk
Would Leave Consumer Alone,
But Force Distributor to
Pay More Money
to Producers.

AT a mass meeting of Nebraska
farmers held in Lincoln October 10,
committee was appointed to make
Investigations and obtain data rela-
tive to the dairy industry through
out the country.
This committee was authorized to
enbody its findings in resolutions to
be submitted to the National Farm
ers' congress in Jacksonville. Fla,
next week, and, if need be, recon-
mend such legislation as will secure
those engaged in milk production
against the necessity of going out
of the business on account of made
quate price.
4 The committee has spent consid-
cradle time looking into the dairy
business in various localities. 1t
held a meeting at the Castle hotel
Wednesday for the purpose of for
mulating its report for the Jackson
will congress.
1t is not the intention OF the COM
mittee to advocate an increased price
of milk to the consumer, as prices in
Omaha compare favorably with re-
tail prices in other cities; it il the
plan to perfect some such organiza-
tons as exist in St. Paul and Mime
apolis, and which will control the
wide margin of the distributor.
From the following scale of prices
which has been carefully compiled
by this committee, it is contended
that there is wider margin between
cost and selling price to the Omaha
distributors than in many other
cities

EXPRESS AGENT
C0NFESSES he
ROBBED HIS CAR
Chester Smith Says He Took
Three Hundred Dollars Be-
cause Wanted 1t and
Framed Story.

The robbing of an express car or
the North Platte Gering branch Of
the Union Pacific, reported to have
occurred Monday night near Her.
shey, was a frame-up on the part
of Chester M. Smith, now under ar,
rest in North Platte, according to
information received by General
Manager letters.
Smith, who was in the service oil
the company from April to July Of
this year, and later from October
%, has confessed that the story he
gave out concerning the robbery
was a fake. To Chief Special Agent
Gale of the Union Pacific, who went
to work on the case Immediately
Smith has told his story. He wanted
the money, $500, and took it, he
said. Most of it was found on his
person when arrested.
Describes Robbery"
On the passenger train on the
North Platte Gering branch the e.
press agent handles baggage and
mail. According to Smiths story,
Monday night, shortly after the
train departed from Hershey, en-
route to North Platte, man
knocked at the door of the car 4.
Smith opened the door and, as he
did so, the robber entered. Once
inside the car, he commenced beat
ing Smith over the head with an
iron bar, almost at the~same time
grabbing and putting into his peck
cts $500 that was lying on the table.
Soon afterward Smith became un-
conscious, remaining in this condi-
ton until he was taken off the car in
North Platte, the end of the run.
: Given Third Degree.
When taken into custody by North
Platte officials, soon after Mr. 1.
Gales arrival in town Tuesday,
Smith stuck to his story of the rob-
berry and showed his wounds about
his head and face as evidence that
he was the victim of hold-up man.
To Gale the story seemed incredi-
lie and the third" degree was
tried. This had its effect and within
short time Smith made clean
breast of the whole affair. The only
reason he gave for taking the money
was that he wanted it.
