AND CONSIDER MR. PIG, TOO By A. R. GROH. Come, people of Nebraska, let's gloat today over our wealth. We haven't time or space to gloat over all our wealth but we'll-just take out our live stock and goat over that. We have 2,443,760 cattle of all ages and sizes. What does that mean? I'll try to give you a graphic idea of this bunch of steers. Suppose each animal averages seven feet in length from head to tail. Placing our cat- tle, then, one behind the other, they would form a line 3,240 miles long. This line would reach from New. York to San Francisco and fifty-seven miles out into the Pacific czean. Take an express train and travel for five days and nights and-every min- ute you would be flying past these Nebraska cattle lined up, one touch- ing the other. Through Chicago, Omaha, Denver, Ogden, across plains and mountains and rivers, the line of Nebraska's cattle would never be broken. ; “Pigs Is Pigs” When you have that journey com- pleted we'll line up Nebraska pigs, of which we have 1,542,303. We'll ’lgurc that they average only three cet from snout to tail. Let each piggy take the tail of the piggy in front of him in.his_mouth and as- sume a fat and smiling expression. The line would be 876 miles long, or as far as from here to Chicago and then from Chicago to Cleveland, O. “Cock-a-doodle-doo!” Chanticleer flies up on the fence to announce that he and* Mrs.\Hen and all their family together with their cousins, the happy, ducks, the pompous turkeys and tfle noisy guinea chickens number 12,298,- 452 in Nebraska. If you doubt it, go and count them yourself. . That Hen Family. We'll line them up, one directly back of the other, allowing four birds to every yard. This will make a line 1,747 miles long. How would it look to put a border of chickens all around the state of Nebraska? All right, we'll just do that small thing, all the way up the Missouri river on the east, along the South Dakota line on the north, Wyoming and Colorado on the west and Kansas on 'the south. But this has used u? only 1,256 miles of our poultry. We have just exactly enough left” to make a line from Omaha to Chicago. Horses and Mules. “Giddap!” We'll trot out our horses and mules’now. In spite of the fact that nearly every Nebraska farmer has an automobile, there arc 89,696 horses and 113,913 mules here, a total of 1,013609. Allowing ten feet for an average length from head to tail, these animals would make a line 1,919 miles long. It’s 1,782 miles from here to San Francisco over the Union Pa- cific. So, you see you could look out continuously on an unbroken line of Nebraska horses and mules during the whole journey and have 137 miles of the animals still left over to extend out into the Pacific or in some other direction, where they could stand on dry land, e might line up our 182,429 sheep and make another long line and our automobiles and talking machines and money in the bank but, as stated be- fore, we have time and space here for the contemplation of only a small part of our wealth. Road Economics- Make Report On Highway Finances (Correspondence of The Associated Press.) Washington, Nov. 4—Financing of highway improvements has been thoroughly investigated by experts of the Department of Agriculture’s di- vision of road economics who recom- mend to people of counties and muni- cipalities intending to rise funds for the advantages of the deferred serial plan over the ordinary sinking-fund plan. Under the serial plan, certain amount of bonds is retired each year and the bonds se retired cease to be an interest charge on the community, Under th® sinking-fund plan none of the bonds is retirable until the end of a definite /period, and the entire sum raised bears interest for the entire life of the bond. The department’s experts say un- der the ordinary sinking-fund plan conumunities pay interest on the inoney borrowed and in addition set aside each year as a sinking fund an amount sufficient to retire all the bonds when they become due. The sinking-fund is deposited with banks and earns: some interest. That ‘in- terest ordinarily is only 3 per cent, whereas the communities pay 5 or 6 per cent to its bondholders. The serial plan is much cheaper, even though the sinking fund earns inter- est as high as 4 per cent, and in the opinion of the road specialists should be utilized whenever it is possible to market serial bonds. A réport on the subject has just been published by the Department of Agriculture, which is distributing it to interested persons upon application.

HOWELL PLANS CAMPAIGN Omaha will have the pleasure of an- other election, which is scheduled for Tuesday, December 5, three weeks from next Tuesday. The campaign is now on. The issues are not whether General George Harries of the Omaha Electric Light and Power company kept*Omaha out of war, or whether R. B. Howell, general manager of the municipal water plant, is too proud to fight. The issue is, will the voters of Omaha approve or reject the five- year street lighting contract allowed lh](; light company by the city coun- cil? g | The fight against the contract is being made by R. B. Howell from his office in the city hall. His purpose is to defeat the contract and thus make the way easier for him to put through his/ plan of maintaining a municipal light plant in connection with the municignl water plant. Legal Opinion. wMr. Howell announces he received from Attorney Webster of fhe Met- ropolitan Water district an opinion, | stating that the city has no power at this time to acquire the plant of the Omaha Electric Light and Power company by condemmnation proceed- ings, but the city has power to con- demn land for use in constructing a new plant, Mr. Howell wants the city council to appropriate the light- ing fund for his proposed municipal lighting system, instead of spending the money as proposed in the five- year contract, which will be contested at the forthcoming special election. Claims of Defense. Those who are defending the five- ear street lighting contract claim the ollowing: . There will be a total of 2,488 lamps as against 1,417 now in use, without increase of cost to the city. The in- crease of lamps will be 1,171, A com- plete, efficient and.decorative orna- mental street lighting system for the business section of the city. without any investment on the part of the city or merchants. The entire cost of additional installation is borne by the company. Reduces the cost of lighting a street intersection about $24, which means that almost two intersections can be lighted for the present cost of one intersection. About 7§ per cent of dark street intersections can be lighted without additional cost to city, thereby giving better police protection thyoughout the entire city. The de- mands for more street lighting con- stantly made by the people can be met without immediate increase in our lighting fund. The contract does away with the present old-style arc !am})s, which are obsolete, and secures for the city the most improved arc lamp known to the electrical industry -for street lighting purposes. |\ China Has Nation Away From Home (Correspondence of The Assoclated Press.) Peking, Sept. 19.—Nine million Chi- nese subjects are living outside of Chinese territory, according to a census just compiled by the ministry of commerce and agriculture. India has attracted more Chinese than any single country, The census shows that there are 1,900,000 Chinese in In- dia, while Cochin-China ranks second with 1,740,000 Chinese. About the same number have settfed in Slam, where they practically control impor- tant business and have become im- mensely wealthy. Five hundred thou- sand Chinese are living in Siberia, and the same number are in the Malacca Peninsula. Hongkong, an English colony, shelters 300,000 Chinese and 200,000 are living in Canada and Mexico. The census estimates that 500,000 Chinese are residing in the United States and Europe, but no estimate'is fivgn as_to the exact number in the nited States. Hiram Johnson Can Be Governor Year Longer San Francisco, Nov. 11.—Hiram W. Johnson, United States senator-elect from California, can keep on being governor of California until Decem- ber, 1917, if he wants to, according to a statement today by U. S, Webb, at- torney general of the state. The general practice is for a sena- tor-elect to take the oath of office March 4 of the year following his elec- tion, but this is not necessary, accord- ing to Mr. Webb. He can wait until the following December when con- gress convenes, if he prefers to do so, unless a special session of congress is called in the meantime. In that event he would have to take the oath of office before taking his seat. No statement from the governor was available as to his intentions, Marauder Arrested As He Is Leaving House When Edward and Clifford Don- nell, whd recently moved from 2213 Dodge to 211 South Twenty-fifth, re- turned to their old home last night to et some forgotten belongings, ‘they ound that all the lighting fixtures had been torn out and saw a man leaving hurriedly by a back door. They followed him and fater caused his arrest. The prisoner identified himself as Dave Moore, Warren, O., and said he was looking for a warm place to sleep. On his person was found a quantity of new cutlery marked with the name of Milton Dar- ling. Birds of a Feather, A small boy astride of a donkey was taking some suppiies to an army camp in Texas not long ago, and got thero just as a detachment of soldiers, preceded by a band, was marching past, The lad dismounted and held the bridle of the donkey tightly tn his hand. “Why are you holding on to your brother 80 hard?” asked a group of soldlers who were standing near and wanted to tease the country boy. “I'm afraid he might enlist,” sald the lad, without batting an eyelash.—Philadelphis Ledger.
