Big Winter Wheat Crop is Under Way, Says E. Stenger Ernest Stenger, general manager of the St. Joe & Grand Island road, in the city from St. Joseph in conference with Unfon Pacific officials. Mr. Steny ger asserts that all through southern Nebraska and Kansas conditions at this time of the year were never better than now for a big crop of winter wheat. Said Mr. Stenger: “The winter wheat acreage is about up to that of last year and on account of the great quantity of precipitation in the ecarly fall after sowing was com- pleted, the grain got a good start, going into the winter in the best possible con-~ dition. While there has been little snow to form a blanket over the wheat, there has been enough to keep the ground moist and prevent the dirt from blowing ing away from the roots of the plant “Southern Nebraska and Kansas garmers, on account of big crops and get- ting high prices for everything they they clally. “All through our territory farm lands are constantly advancing in price, and while there are not many farms sold, or for sale, those that change hands do %o | . The land is so good and so productive that at a good advance from a year farmers are not anxious to sell.” DEMAND FOR MACARONI IS GREATLY INCREASED An enormous increase in the amount ©f macaroni and kindred products eaten in thie country is noted in recent years. This is said to be largely due to the clean factories in which it is made, one of the largest of which is located in Omaha. Durum wheat from which it is made grows to its greatest perfection here in the middle west, even better than in its native Russia from which country the seed was imported. have had to sell, are in good snape finan- | | is well provided with feed and shelter, | |and that consequently there will be no losses, | \Want Early Closing | Law Enforced on New Year's Eve Enforcement of the § o'clock closing law on New Year's eve was urged upon Com- | misstoner A. C. Kugel in resolutions adopted by the Frances Willard Women's Christian Temperance union Wednesday at the home of Mrs. George W, Covell. This is the second woman's organization to make this appeal, the civic committee of the Woman's club, headed by Mrs. ¥. J. Birss, having taken the initiative. City and County Officials Are to | Meet at the Traps The city commissioners accepted a chal- |lenge from the county commissioners to | engage in a trap shooting contest at an | early date.

There's an abundant supply Just across the river.” “Visit your favorite old liquor es- tablishment in its new home." A fresh supply of turkeys is again on the market for New Year's dinners. The grocers sold out thelr supply pretty well for Christmas and were compelled to stock up again for the New Year's trade, &8 near as many people prepare big spe- clal New Year's dinners as Christmas. High class turkeys are still 2 cents a pound, Ducks are plentiful at 17% cents a pound. Geese are scarce, but may also be hed at 17% cents a pound. Chickens are 16% cents, and oysters are selling at | 8 cents a quart. Flour Is up 40 cents a barrel in the “Now, remember, you were not as bad off as you thought you were.” The foregoing and similar statements printed on large circulars, distributed by & Douglas street liquor dealer in Council Blufts, aroused the ire of the Omaha city council when Commissioner Kugel presented a copy of the advertisement at a meeting. To Reconaider License. The council resolved to reconsider issu- ing the license for 1916, and there is a pos- sibility that the license may not be granted at all. The offending dealer recently opened a place at Bleventh and Douglas streets, and last weck was brought before the commissioners because of objectionable signs at his Hquor emporium. He agreed to remove the signs, and now he has sought to attract bueiness in Council Bluffs by advertising the fact that when the town across the river goes dry next week he will supply a-plenty, furnish street car tickets or dellver by automo- bile without extra cost. The Omaha commissioners obfect to thla city being advertised in Council Blufts in the manner indicated. Whether the license will actually be turned down will be determined Friday morning, Orders Food Enough to Last Him Until He Gets Out of Jail He was undoubtedly seedy in dress, but the brisk manner in which he walked into the Calumet restaurant and com- mandeered a table in the cafe, rather than a stool at the counter, made the waiters belfeve in him. “I'll have a cocktail, a bowl of soup, a dozen Blue Polints on the half shell, an extra tenderloin steak smothered in mushrooms, French fried potatoes, ice wholesale market. “It is likely to g0 higher, too,” sald Al King, manager of Hayden Brothers' grocery department. “It has been going up for some time and | 1s now 40 cents a barrel higher than it seck higher in the Sugar s practically steady, Seventeen pounds may still be had for a dollar, Potatoes are 8 ocents a bushel.
