They would look all right but they would never
get very far.
The first switchboard "as simple as a wheel

time six operators required to complete some
calls in the larger offices.
Step by step the genius of the inventor and the skill
of the engineer overcame these difficulties

Telegram.)-Riley Smith of Omaha

State Bank of Ithaca by jury in dis
trict court here. They deliberated 26

Packer Says Supply
Of Good Steers Low

"There seems to be decided def
cheney in the supply of good steers"
said leading South Omaha packing
house official, "and, according to
market statistics, nearly as many
cattle are being received as a year
ago. One thing causing these con
ditions is the fact there has been an
abundance of corn and other feed
products, which has encouraged the
feeding of lot of low grade cattle
that would not ordinarily be fed or
shipped to market.
81 could never understand" said
the packing house man, "why any
one should breed scrub cattle as il
is shown by expert figures and ex-
perience that it has never paid to
raise low-bred cattle and the man
raises scrub is the loser.
1T costs little more to breed good
animals than those of low grade and
it costs less to fit them for market.
The well-bred stock always bring
more on the market than those of
careless breeding. and the best way
to win in the cattle or other live
stock business is the production of
better animals and giving them more
intelligent care"
