In bushels the 1015 corn crop of Ne- braskt w were few poor spots, so, as a whole, the bumper crop was general over the state, all the way from the river to the Colorado ine and from Kansas to South Dakota. Many of the rtates to the east and south that in past years had been raising corn had almost a complete failure dur- ing 1916, This resulted in an enormous demand for the Nebraska corn and con- sequently changed the course that for- merly it had been taking when going to market. [ | In past years the corn raised in X | brasks went to the extreme south or to Chicago, In the south it went to the , piantations, and when it went to Chicago it was sold by brokers there to go east or for export. Prices Hold Up. last year, however, the conditions “hanged and the cattle feeders and grain dealers of Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Wis- sonsin and Indiana, usually all bumper rorn-raising states, came to Nebraska to buy comn to take home to feed or work | 4p Into cereals. As a result most of the 815 Nebraska corn érop been sold on the market and at prices equal to, if not higher, than during former years. FEe- vides this, it is estimated that during 1915 ‘he average yield of corn per acre in Ne- sraska was close to ten bushels in excess f any former year and raised without uty additional cost aside from picking ind hauling to market. Best Paying Crop. | The high prices that farmers received r thelr corn and the extra quantity that fiey ratsed per acre, on the whole, made | the crop the VYest paying one they ever slanted and harvested . ‘ At this time cn the Omaha market Ne- e A oraska corn is sellmfg at 60@71 cents per sushel, with the bulk of the sales being made at around €5@6S cents. One year ago new corn was a little higher, some of the best grades selling up as high as 75 cents per bushel, though most of the rales were made at around 1 cents per bushel. It was figured that the increased yield over the 1915 crop has more than made up the difference between the prices now | 4nd one year ago, THREE OMAHA GIRLS PLEDGED BY SORORITIES LINCOLN, Jan. 2.—(Special Telegram.) —The list of pledges for sororities of the University of Nebraska announced this alternoon Included twenty co-eds, among them three Omaba girls.

Catarrh is silent and insidious in its ravages, but it pervades nearly every household and hovers like a pestilence everywhere. Catarrh may end in deafness, blindness, loss of smell, loss of taste, or the entire Diphtheria, bronchitis, pneumonia and pleurisy begin almost always as a result of a catarrhal attack.

Afraid of Going Into Debt We believe that ono reason, more than any other, that keeps the -v:r- e man from buying o home is—the fear of going lnto debt. Isn't that true in your case? To show yoy how little ground this 1: for such fears, compare buying with your present situa- tion. You are now rentin; You already have a debt hanging over y::u of, let us say, $26 per month, due every month, to your landlord, As long as you rent you will aiways have this to pay (per- haps more); for you and your family must live somewhere. You couldn't go any more into debt if you bought the house. In fact, much less so, A house renting for $25 is likely to sell for around $3,000, You probably have a few hundred dollars saved %0 that you can pay 10% h. The balance you can pay at the rate of 1% (in this case, $30) a month; only $5 a month more than you paid for rent. In four years you will have paid 658% of the total amount. Of this 18% ’h (nl’;roll and 40% is principal. In other words, yoy will have paid $1,740, of which $1,200 is principal, coming back to you in the value of the house. Your only expense in four years has been $540 plus the taxes and insurance, “But,” you say, “supposing I get sick, or lose my job, what then?" You must admit that such misfortune {s equally possible when you rent. You know that at such a time, no landlord will wait very long for over-due rent. On the other hand, in buying you will tind that many of the leading real estate companies have a clause in their contracts, providing that in cases of sickness or other reason for in- ability to pay, they will only require payment of the interest. But even if there were no provision'of this kind, at the end of four years you can go to any bank or loan association and borrow G0 % of the value of the house, in this case $1,800. The interest on this will be only $9 per month, Where can you find a landlord who will take $9 a month in time of distress for a $15 house? Best of all, buying a house on these terms you don't go on paying the rest of your lif in seven to ten years you are through - the house is yours. It's the man who 1ents who is always in debt. home and you will soon owe no man. 18igned) Let us see. Own your E. R. BENSON, C. HARRISON, G.
