In fact, 3 it has about made a record, and three k| months of the year remain. Long be- : fore the end of that time the reccipts will pass those of any former year, it is almost a certainty.” Long before the close of the year, if the grain con- tinues to come at the rate set two months ago and that still continues, ag a primary market it will pass any of the other markets of the country. A primary grain market, be it known, is one to which ‘the receipts come only from its trade territory. * For this reason Omaha is not in the | class with Chicago and Minneapolis, | they each receiving large quantities of | grain, not only from their trade terri- ! tories, but frem other markets, How- | aver, while Omaha is not expected to | get within reaching distance of Chi- | cago this year, it is in a fair way to } Minneapolis, Kansas City and | St. Louls, ¥ Figures for Nine Months.

Grain dealers assert that this handi- cap is one that is going to be over- come before the end of December, and that so far as oats are concerned 1916 is going to be the record-break- ing period. This year the oats have netted the (farmers good returns. The average (price has been 38 cents per bushel, or la total of $3,565,500 for the portion of the crop coming 'to the Omaha market, Omgha has never beln a big rye and barley market, probably due to the fact that wheat raising has brought better returns to the farmers in the trade territory. Considerable of the two classes of grain, however, reaches here. During 1816 Omaha handled 501 carloads of rye, or 551,100 bushels. It sold «t an average of $! pér bushel, or a total of $551,100.

The Omaha Grain exchange has kept pace with the growth of the Omaha grain business, and during the period of the year already past, s&l’ctiully all the space in the $250,- 0, eight-story building, situated at Nineteenth and Harney streets, has become occupied. Grain men, indi- viduals and firms conhected with the rain trade, occury all of the build- ing above the first floor, and al- d ;houfl the exchange has been in the ild nr less than a year, there is beginning to be some talk of the necessity of more room in which to carry on the business. . | O TR T Office Phone—South 30. 808 North Twenty-fourth St. Purity, Quality,. .

SOLDIERS WHO COME lxentuekianl on Mexican Bor- | der Live Up to Reputation of | TRAINED ON RIFLE RANGE | | El Paso, Tex, Sept. 30.—In the igreat army of guardsmen from all states scattered along the Mexican | frontier, there is one regiment that | stands apart from the rest by reason of its individuality. The others are more or less of the same mold, with the same manners, speech, slang, songs and jokes, But the Second Kentucky infantry goes its o 3 quaint way, unaffected by rag-tim fox trots, vaudeville jokes and se sations of the Sunday supplements. “In no other regiment could you |3 see a thing like this,” said one of the, officers. “A long-legged, long-armed, lanky sentry, swinging his rifle from a shoulder, squirrel hunt fashion, while with his free hand he held a | testament, which he read to himself, | with a weather eye on the colonel’s tent he was ordered to guard.” ¢ Takes Things Seriously. The idea that military regulations would interfere with his devotional duties never entered the head of the sentry, the officer explained, adding that he had in the sentry a soldier of old fighting stock, who took his call to arms in the same seriousness as he took his religion. i The Second Kentucky is encamped with the Kentucky brigade on the sagebrush plains back of Fort Bliss, six miles from El Paso. Its rows of whaki tents and other externals are | quite like those of any other well reg- ulated camp. But, approaching the lines, the stranger is likely to be sur- prised by a cordial greeting from the sentry to come in and make himself at home. It is the old tradition of mountain hospitality. From Fighting Families. Officers of this command say that no other regiment in the service can show a muster roll of men whose; Americanism goes back two. cen- | turies. Colonel Allen W, Gullion, a Kentuckian and West Pointer, trans- frerred from the Twentieth United States ‘infantry, affirms also that no guard regiment boasts so many old regulars. Soldiering comes natural to the natives of the Cumberlands, accustomed to bearing arms from boyhood, and brought um in the fight- in; tradition. i . ‘No squirrel, no breakfast,” still is a fact, and not a joke with many of these mountaineers when at home. This accounts for the excellent shots the men become after getting used to the high-powered army rifle. They can hit moving targets, which is a thing that soldiers, trained on the rifle range fail at. The mountaineers brought with Rhem the reputation of gun fighters that is not altogether pleasing to them. It is true that many of the men come of families celebrated for feuds. But the feudists belong to the older generation, before “moonlight” g i a | i 3 2 Established 1888, = Omaha, South Side. TASTE TELLS. « 100%. and purity Assure you home mar- prompt de- prepaid.
