NEVER TOUCHED US

We hear that dining car prices on
the Burlington are to be smashed. the
reductions ranging from 10 to 33h
per cent.
II makes no difference to patrons
OF the High Line whether dining car
grub prices are lowered or highered
Shonld diner or sleeper be pulled
through Holyoke. and the people
knew It in time, there would be a
turnout beating the best day at the
county fair-not because such would
be new to local people. but because
80 far as known diner or sleeper
was never pulled over this line Of
the Burlington.
The only kind OF diners and sleep
ers going over the High Line are
those the farmers use for stock. the
rates for which still need reduction.

DR.. f. l.. Rolph of Kimball county
Nebraska. In writing the Nebraska
Farmer about burning corn. says: In
the year OF 1896. when corn was only
10 cents bushel we had large
heating stove that burned either hard
or soft coal successfully and to test
corn we burned II for thirty days dur
ing the severe winter weather. aud
then Pennsylvania hard coal for thirty
days. We found corn at 10 cents a
hushel and hard coal at so ton
cost the same for the thirty-'lny peri.
od Corn at 90 cents and hard coal
at 500 a ton is the same price on the
basis Of heat value. Don't burn corn.
1t Is hard on the stove and besides
Il ls wicked. in my opinion.
