THE FARMERS'
NATIONAL CONGRESS
Notable Meeting Representing Ag
ricultural Interest to be
Hold in Now Orleans
Next Fall
NOVEMBER
TO
11. 1912
Among the Indications of Improved
financial conditions In Nebraska may
be mentioned the Increase In the O
maha bank clearings, which mtgttt be
termed the barometer ofbusiness In
this territory. Without exception
each week has shown larger Increas
es than the corresponding weeks last
year.
The advance of prices on com
modities handled by retail mer
chants falls heavily upon them.
Often they are blamed by pat
rons for increasing prices, when
the percentage of increase made
by the retailer is less than that
of the manufacturer or whole
saler. Here is an illustration:
We have received from a leading
western wholesale paper house
The thirty-second annual session
of the Farmers' National Congress
will be held in New Orleans, IxmU
iana, convening November 7. New
Orleans, called variously the Cres
cent City, and the Queen CHy of the
Criilf, presents some remarkable at
tractions It Is quaint and plctur
escitie, being full of points of histor
ical importance, and its French sec
tion having the appearance of a for
eign city. Yet the spirit of progress
pervades New Orleans. Many of Its
hotels and newer buildings represent
wrything that is upto-date. note
worthy being he famous Hi :! Grune-
wild, tlu Waldorf-Astoria of the
South. Situated at the mouth Of the
ureat est system of Inland waterways
lint he world. It has one of the most
Important as well as one of the most
interesting harbors In the country
and is already the third largest port
la point of commerce in the United
States. Tli'' system c:f levees, protect
3iij9 the city from the river, h) ex
tremely Interesting, much of the pity
being below the water level of the
river. All In all, it Is one of the
most Interesting places that the
Congress has ever visited.
From present Indications, every
state will be well represented at this
nice-ting. The mot important busi
ness of the Congress is the passing
of resolutions, and the leading topics
of special interest to the agriculture
of the nation will be presented for
consideration. It is too early yet to
am ounce any railroad latcs, b u t
there are excursion and tourist rates
from northern points ewt winter,
and there Is every reason to suppose
that the an me will hold tine this
year. Meanwhile efforts will b e
made to secure additional conces
sions, if possible. For Information

job printers. In reference to
this price list the wholesalers
say, "We have been forced to
advance some prices on account
of general advance by the manu
facturers and changes in trade
customs, which, in many in
stances equal ten per cent."
Printers are forced to advance
their prices somewhat, if they
keep up the quality of their
work as we intend to do. but if
we were to advance prices on
job printing, advertising and
subscription by frequent ten per
cent jumps, we fear there would
be a strong remonstrance from
our patrons.
RECEIVES PARALYTIC STROKE
Mrs. George Davis, secretary
of the Eastern Star, received a
letter last Friday stating that
Rev. G. C. Jeffers who on May
lb, had been stricken with par
alysis at his home in Meckle
burg, N. Y., was improving and
was able to walk with the aid of
canes. He was compelled to re
sign his pastorate, and as soon
as he is able to travel, he will go
to live with his son at Niagara
Falls. Mr. Jeffers has many
friends in Alliance who sympa
thize deeply with him in his af
fliction aad who wish for his
complete restoration to health.

to seem so very strange that
every democratic newspaper in

of a third party headed by
Colonel Roosevelt." But every
