Auto Truck Freight Lines
Make Rapid Strides Here

Rapid strides are being made by
J. NJ. Gillian of the Chamber of Com,
merce in lining up the automobile
freight and live stock transportation
in and out of Omaha. Working with
the Nebraska Railway commission,
Mr.. Gillian has been able to bring
about the establishment OF stand
ard and uniform rate.
The rate as established il
4 OF cent a mile per 100 pounds,
up to ~ cents. the difference de,
pending upon the classification and
the character OF the freight.
Attention is now being paid to the
return load problem, and already il
has been worked out to TIE extent
that it has become possible for the
truck owners to generally carry full
loads to and from the points from
which they start, or to intermediate
towns.
Mr. Gillian is now figuring on 3
loading dock somewhere il the ioo'
bing district and at convenient
point where merchants cal deliver
consignments that are going out
en- the truck lines. Auto truck own
ers now have to go from one job
bling house to another, picking up
their loads. The erection of ware
house with moderate storage ca
pacity is contemplated.

German Potash Mines Arc
Striped of Machinery

During the last few days the Ne
braska potash producers have been
receiving large number of en-
trcmely high offers for their potasl,
which is now in storage, as well as
ocers for their output during the
next two years. After investi.
getting the source and reason for
these offers at this particular time,
the facts were borne out that the
buyers of potash had very recently
learned that the entire potash mines
of Germany hal been stripped of
.heir machinery during the war
period, and TIT iron used for the
manufacture of munitions. This
condition naturally brought about
the deserton of the German potash
mines, and good authorities esti-
mate that it will be between eight
and ten years before these mines
can again be put into opertion. This
will mean that for long time there
will be a heavy demand for Ne
braska potash and that the industry
will continue upon a firm basis fora
good many years to come.

Your high heels have put corns or

A genius in Cincinnati discovered
a magic ether compound and named
it freezone. A quarter ounce of this
freezone can now be had at any drug
store for a few cents. Apply a few
drops on your tender, aching corn
or callus. Instantly the soreness dis.

Just think! You get rid of a hard

velous freezone on a sore, trouble
