He 1s #Ull drawing that salary, but in addition thereto he is receiving $1,000 per month as royalty from oil flowing from wells that have been drilled on a little ratch of land that he owns inside the town limits of Greybull. Long before oil was struck within the town limits of Greybull, Rogers bought four town lots, pretty well out in the out- skirts. They cost him a little more than £10) each. ‘ An oll strike was made at Greybull and subsequently wells were sunk on the block adjoining the one in which Rogers wned lots. Oil men came to him and wunted to buy his lots. He would mot sell, but he made a lease, it providing that the parties taking the lease could drill wells and he be given a royalty. Drilling was commenced and continued with the result that on the Rogers lots there are now four producing wells and his royalty on the ol amounts to $1,000 ver month. However, he still wears his greasy overalls, works nights and draws his $% pet month from the Burlington. Mayor Proclaims for Red Cross Seals Mayor Dahiman is in sympathy with the work béing done by the Nebraska Society for the Prevention and Study of ‘Tuberculosls, and during this Christmas season he belleves the sale of the Red Cross seals should receive general sup- port in thig city. The mayor has been familiar with the efforts of the organi- zation and it was with gratification that he wrote the following message to the people of Omaha: To Omaha and Its People—Whereas, The last year has been one of unprece- dented prosperity, both for state and city, of progress and advancement un- equalled in our histor; ' il fltdng that thoss of our own - - e i it -<d \ { gy, 1) ould be taken care of by ourselves. Perhaps the greatest need within the border of our State is ‘that felt by the tubereular people. Officially, these lttle children, with just a little care, with just a fittle better food and surroundings, may be made whole and sound for their entire life Therefore, 1 heartily endorse the work done by the Nebraska Association for the Prevention and Study of Tuberculosls. THE MAYOR. MRS, JOSEPHINE GROVES DIES AFTER LONG ILLNESS Mrs. Josephine Groves, 64 years old, Omaha ploneer and widow of the late John Groves, former Douglas county clerk, died at her home, %% Chicago street Death was caused by & chronic allment from which Mrs. Groves had long suf. fered. Mrs. Groves is survived by two daugh- ters, Miss Leonie Groves, of the office of the clerk of the district eourt, and Miss Josephine Groves. John Groves, her husband, who died about ten years ag0, was for many years prominent in business and politics in Omaha. The Grip. Grip s something of & joke to those who have mever had it, but when they ¥et it they become dead to all sense of humor. No disease was ever more ap- ropristely named because grip takes hold of the entire system. To get rid of it take Chamberiain's Cough Remedy and carefully observe the directions with each bottle’. This remedy 1is highly recommended by those who have used it and know its real wvalue. Obtainable averywhere.—Adverusement. GOULD DEFENDS | - HIS CROP REPORT Farmers Anxious to Have Accurate Figures on the Various Crop Estimates. | IBEAND LOOKING FOR HELP H. R. Gould of the United States National bank had to make good at the Farmers’ Congress on his esti- mate of the corn crop of the state. Gould is the man who for several years has carefully prepared an an- nual crop estimate of Nebraska by hundreds of banks in the state and | {hundreds of elevators. The farmers criticlsed the figures and sald the corn crop was not nearly so |large as represented here. C. H. Gua- !tafson of Mead, president of the Farm- ers’ Unlon, read the figures, 2,000,000 hels of corn, and declared he would | e the president of the bank a new hat | |1t there were actaully over 175,000,000 | bushels of marketable corn pulled over the scales this winter. Maybe Gustafson didn't know Gould | was present. Maybe the rest of the farm- | ers @id not know, but Gould poped up un- expectedly to defend his figures and he was granted the privilege of the floor. Merchantable Corn. He walked back and took the pamphlet from Gustatson's hands. Then he read the report, which stated that of actually merchantable corn there s only 157,000,000 bushels, { ““There,” he said, addressing Gustafson particularly. ‘That is even below your own estimate, and you nre accusing us of making the estimate too high. If you had put on your glaases you could have read this correctly.” The matter of over-estimating crop re- { ports was threshed out as a side issue, | coming up after C. J. Brand, chief of the office of farm marketing of the United States Department of Agriculture, had | made his talk on marketing, He was| asked a hundred question and many of them were concerning the accuracy of the reports on volume of crop that are published by the government. Guessed at Figures, Charles Wooster of Sliver Creek de- clared the figures could be mothing | but the wildest kind of a guess. I know,"” | he said, “because for years 1 was the man who was charged with the duty of furnishing the figures from my town-| ship every year. They sent me a hllnki { form with long lists of questions to be filled out. They asked such questions | as “How many bushels of corn remain | unshelled tn the cribe of the township? It would have taken me a week to deter- mine anywhere near accurately that one question alone, to say nothing of the hundred others equally difficult. So I knew they expected nothing of me but & crude guess, and so 1 made that guess with absolutely nothing at all to base it upon.” Mr, Brand said if the farmers had sug- gestions to make as to methods of im- proving the accuracy of the estimates, or taking the figures furnished him by’ any other suggestions with good bottom to them, the department would be glad to consider them. Third Case in Row Taken from Jury in Federal Court When the litigants in the suit of Thomas J. Donahue against the Santa Fe and Burlington railroads came to an agreement for settlement Wednesday in the midst of the trial before a jury, ft wes the third consecutive case that has been taken from & jury in federal court before Judge T. C. Munger. Donohue settled for 8561, The case preceding this was Neilson Fish against the Union Pacific for $5,000 damages because of a shipment of twen- ty-six cars of cattle held up at North Platte by the floods in 1912 This hinged on a point of law, d In the midst of the case the jury was sent out and the lawyers argued and made concessions before the judge. He now has this case under advisement. The case before this was a $25,000 dam- age suit brought by Mrs. Blizabeth Me- Coy against the Missouri Pacific railroad for the death of her son, a car mspeo- tor. After the plaintiff's evidence was in the judge took the case from the jury i ad declded it in favor of the defendant. Cash Incentive to Increased Sales The Burgess-Nash company is going t9 glve every ane of its employes a substan- tia| Christmas present (his year.

Informal consideration has been given to what hag beén referred to as & saloom policy for the new year, one feature being the calling in of saloon men who have been careless this year, The council already has gone on record as being in favor of limiting the number to those mow in operation, reserving the right to decrease the number If circum. stances seem to justify such action. Thus far no protests have been filed with the eity elerk. Night Counh Relteved, Dr. Bell's Pine-Tar-Honey eases your cough, soothes the lungs, and Invites sleep. Ouly 85e.
