Oct. 29.—Burning com as a substitute for coal Is not a new procedure for Nebraska farmers, according to C. H. Gustafson, presi dent of the Nebraska Farmers' Union, when told that farmers were consider ' ing it. "Many farmers have been- forcec to sell unshelled corn at 48 cents i 'bushel," he said. "Assuming thai new corn weighs seventy pounds tc the bushel, it is readily understoot why it is cheaper to bum grain at fuel in preference to coal that costi at least $17 a ton. The alcohol anc fata In com produce a fine heat thai is as lasting as wood or cheap sofi coal." Batter Babies Contnt Scora.

Small, while In the city to apeak on political laauea thia week, talked moat entertainingly of hia re cent trip to the Hawiian Islands, China and Japan. "The Orient ia ft very interesting part of the world," naid he, "With Its 4,000 year old civilization, and a so cial home and Industrial life so dif ferent from ours and a different re ligion. i wnn muni. r»vor»niy impressed, he continued, "both in China and Ja pan, with the »p><>d work that ia being done In those countries by the foreign missionaries. I have alwaya support ed, but ! wm never an enthusiastic believer in foregin missions. But what I saw at first hand convinced me thor oughly of the good work that ia being done by the missionaries at this time. "Th<'y have imt nway from the old method of merely preaching and talk ing. They are nursing the sick, giv ing them medical attention and con ducting day school. The physician the nurse and the day school teacher do as important work as those who preach the gospel. Indeed the work of 'he physicians, the nurses and th« teachers mHke the people mure wili ng to hear the preachers. "The Chinese have great faith ir the people of the United States be cause the United States has never im posed upon or exploited the Chinese aa some other nations have done or tried to do. Our return of our share o1 the boxer indemnity made a profound impression upon the Chinese and thej have never forgotten it." To The Coal Buying Public W bought last spring enough coal to carry ui through the nuon closing April lit, next, at • price which would hare allowed us to cell at not exceeding (16.00 per ton delivered. Since that time the freight rise has come on which adds $1.00 to most all the coal coming here, none of it leas than 76 cents per ton and the shipper* have fallen down absolutely flat, especially the anthracite snippers, in so far aa keeping their word it concerned, although they have shipped a few can, three to be exact. I will soon commence sending soft coat to those who placed their orders for hard coal which brings the shippers such a price they will not even say what they will ship to ua at, even after we had agreed to pay them a rise of $8.60 per net ton, which with the $1.00 freight riae amounted to $4.60 per ton, above what we had agreed to pay. We are buying coal right now at price* as high a* $12.60 per ton f. o. b. mine*, with $4.00 freight rat* and $1.00 per ton for hauling, bat we are getting the coal in at any price to take care of our trade, as It look* now with the revival of theEiport trade account of the English strike that there wfll be no ooal for the South at all. We had thought with the stoppage of the Lake trade aboat Nov. 1st we would be able to gtft plenty of coal bat the L C. C. now pata on a service order for the Middle Waat which will replace the tonnage go ing to the lake* thus leaving th* Sooth no better off than Mora. Tou who have order* with ua Mad feel no nneasin*** about your cod coming before a very great while. Of eoarse it may be a little eool before we get it to you, bat we have had order* aoeapted and prompt shipment will ha made by the speculator* and within the next three or foar weak* w* will hav* all oar preeent order* filled and oat ef tike way.
