t LATEST MODEL TYPESETTING MACHINE AT HERALD OFFICE The Herald Installs Latest Model Machine in Keeping With Policy of Giving Its Patrons the Best Description of Since starting the Daily Herald this office has been handicapped by the Inability of our Junior linotype to aet all the copy prepared, with the reeult that many article of Importance are often omitted. The machine that haa been In The Herald office for about three years la what la technic ally known as a Linotype. The Junior Linotype handled the composition on the weekly rery satisfactorily and will be retained In The Herald office aa extra equipment. Riving thla office two machines. After inspecting the various models of Linotypes, of which there are ten In all, aa well aa its competitor, the Intertype, it was an easy matter to select the latter on account of ita many Improvements and advantages over the linotype or Mergenthaler machine. The dally and weekly Herald are now net up on this new machine. Our Intertype la fully equipped with magazines which contain the matrices from Which the letters and lines are cast, each containing a different size and style of type face. The machine la fully equipped for handling the type setting on all kinds of advertisement and Job work, book work, legal briefs, etc. The bed for newspaper articles, ub heads, etc., can be'set on the machine. The Intertype is the fastest composing machine made. John P. O' Svllivan, a New York operator, on November 17, 1913, composed 11,024 eans of pica, brevier and agate type in one hour, making the necessary changes of magazine, liners, etc., without assistance. The matter was di vided as follows: 2,232 ems of 12-point, 24 ems wide; 3,402 ems of 8-point, 18 ems wide; 6,390 ems of 04 -point, 16 ems wide; he making the two necessary changes of magasine, liners, ejector, assembler, knife, and viae jaw without assistance. The Herald is the first newspaper la western Nebraska to introduce the lnt-.rtype Into its mechanical de partment. There are already near ly four hundred Intertypes on the market in competition with the Mer genthaler linotype, which it resem bles In general appearance. With the expiration of tho Mergenthaler patents, the International Typeset ting Machine company, with Herman Ridder, a New York multi-millionaire publisher, at its head, was launched a little over a year ago and eatered the field, which had up to INTKItTVI'K, that time been held exclusively .by the Mergenthaler company for over twenty years. A million dollars was spent by this company before a machine was turned out of the factory, but the re sult of this vast expenditure has been a model plant at Brooklyn and an improved machine that is not on ly simpler, more efliiient but inure practical than, the linotype. The N. Y. Times has made provisions for adopting the Intertype as have the leading newspapers in other cities. The Intertype installed in The Herald office at first glance resem bles a No. S linotype. It is a dupli cate of the No. 5, which is the fast est mode of the linotype, with many Improvements added. The maga zine can be changed in twenty sec onds by the operator, and comes off at the rear of the machine, thus avoiding all danger of injury to the keyboard. In changing magazines, all locking and unlocking is done au tomatically. The act of removing the magazine locks matrices at front and back of magazine, also locks the keyboard, rods and verges, and when another magazine, holding a different set of matrices, Is put ou, all are automatically released and ready for operation. Intertypes are especially designed for tMMMl, reliability and economy, and contain many simple devices to bring about this end. They have a t 1 N i j - v - t-rifb ZJJTrt, NXf'v sJ4 r g iW a""ii"Jw'-Ji-S..B, I t v'A & r - - - . , . !: : -w . , t vj ... ... x5 ;C H v i " r,- - ilk li v---"..-.

The assembling me chanism is designed to give speed with certainty of action, and without transposition of matrices. The trans ferring of matrices at all points Ib simple. Kxtra precautions have been taken to prevent injury of matrices, and blocking or breaking of the transfer mechanism. Knife block and vice jaw are adjustable instantly and with accuracy "by the operator from his HOHt. All the In tertypes are equipped with automat ic devices which prevent casting with M(Ui:i4 "A" rzrzrnzrrrrrrzzzrrzzrr: In various offices. Ho was employ either a light or loose line, thus!d at one time In an Alliance news- preventing metal squirts with a con sequent tying up of the machine. ' I. G. Brayton, writing of the In tertype in the Typographical Jour nal, says: "The Intertype model which I more Interesting, more human-like was privileged to inspect may be de-' machine waB never invented and the scribd aa follows: It has a low base, ! readers of The Herald are invited '.o broad -magazine machine, with the! call and witness this wonderful ma-' magazine tilted at a sharper angle chine in operation, and the matrix delivery belt raised J- Carl and Harold S. Thn.uas. two inches more at Its highest point j who-will operate the Intertype, an;, than in present broad magazine ua-(hoth expert and experienced iuah-' chines. This should secure a surer; lne operators, capable of turning ou delivery of matrices and tend to ob-;the highest class of work. viate the transposition which has been our heritage, particularly since the advent of the broad magazine , continue to keep in the lead both in. machine. The key-board is the one It" newspaper and Job department. ' with w hich we are already familiar. ' It asks patronage on the ground of The reeds, which are all alike andervice and quality. The Herald' interchangeable, are flat, at the u pi per end. and terminate at the lower end in a round spring plunger, which rests on the cam yoke. There are no reed springs. There are no sep arate verges or verge pawls; instead one semi-circular pawl, a piece of steel which the flat end of the rcdjone shipped into Nebraska, although strikes in its upward motion, rocks' auu releases the matrix. Any one of these pawls may be removed in a few seconds with tha Angers without disturbing any other pawl. F.iou magazine has Its own set of pawl "The magazine channels and the channel entrances are spaced accord- ing to the needs of the matrix nar row space for thin matt and wide spaces for thick ones. The pi chan nel Is outside the magazine, attached to the frame, and pi-board charac ters are carried down to a stacker, at the operator's right hand. The mag azine la aet on a cradle and Is remov ed from the rear. In changing, the operator does nothing except pull the magazine backward. It auto matically locks itself, and is remov ed just as it would be from the front, by one man, standing on the floor. The distributor elevator la steadi ed by a lever and weight instead of a spring. There Is no Intermediate clutch for the assembler; instead Is a loose pully just back of the assem bler to which the operator shifts the belt when wishing to stop the star! wheel. One large pawl suffices to! hold the matrices in the casting ele-1 vator. The left hand jaw is moved j by a geared knob similar in appear- ance to the knob of an ordinary of-: flee safe. It Is marked In picas and! nonpareils, and can almost instantly! be set any desired length by turning the knob. "The mold is held In place on disc by two screws; merely by loosening one screw the mold can be swung outward. There are no screwholes at. all through the mold disc cogs. One mold sets from five to 14 point. 30 em pica. Another can be put on to set up to 48 point. In changing the knives from 5 to 14 point, for Instance, the operator merely draws a steel pin from the 5-point hole, prttHses a small lever which moves . (lie right-hand knife, and inserts the pin in the 12-point hole. "Hut to my mind, the greatest ec onomical feature of this new ma chine from the viewpoint of book, and Job man is the metal pot. It has a capacity of "50 per ceut great er than the other machine. It has an extra well and extra burner so placed as to render cracking of the crucible through expansion and con traction almost impossible. The gov ernor contains no mercury, and is immersed directly in the metal In the pot. It Is claimed to be so sen sitive that the slight reduction in temperature resulting from drop ping one pig of metal in the pot causes an appreciable increase in the (low of gas. "The matrices are essentially the same as we are already familiar with, but the spacebands are a beau tiful piece of work from the machin ist's viewpoint. Instead of the sleeve being two pieces and held to gether by four rivets, it is cut from one solid piece of steel. The wholt band consists of but three-piece-- sleeve, wedge and the small rivet. i the bottom." i The Chicago Agency of the Inter . national Typesetting Machine com pany Is located in the new Hand McNoJly building, at 108 Harrison ; street, with C. D. Montgomery as manager. Mr. Montgomery is an oM hand in the business, having been connected with the Linotype com pany for several years, and previous to that time working as an operator paper office. The Intertype casts complete lim.j or in other words,- manufacture slugs of new type of almost any style, thickness, size and length. A The Herald wants the business f progressive business men and will does not find It neeesuary to knock and belittle its competitors or u: . underhand methods in order to cure business and does not wai.i tho kind of business that comes by those' methods. The Herald intertype is the first an order was received from tho Oiu- aha World-Herald for four machines; the same day. On his way to Alli ance, Mr. II. O. McCormlck, th-3 ex-j pert machinist and erector fo. the! Intertype people, stopped over Ini Omaha and erected one machine for the World-Herald. Thgy will havj- all four machines erected ami ru i- ning In their plant within a few days. The Herald machine Is also the first large composing machine of a standard model ordered and ship ped Into western Nebraska. The Herald did not wait until others had taken the lead but had the confl dence In Alliance and western N braska to go ahead and Invest the sum necessary to purchase a ma rhlne of this kind STATE FAIR SUPERINTENDENTS State Board of Agriculture Announc es List Of 8uperinterv1ntt for Fair This Fall Lincoln, Netor., Feb. 10.

The Canad ian parcel pout, for which prepara- tiorva have been olag forward for many months, became an accomplish ed fact today, when Hon. IxHila P. Poeletler, poatnkaKe'r general of the Dominion, formally Inaugurated the service by dropping the first pack ace into the mall. I tho Metihod of fixing rates accord Vng to the tone aywtem and In many of its other lead- ins feature the Canadian service fol low cloaoly after the similar service established year ago ra the United Btutea. Bach Province conatku-lea a oarate tone except the Maritime Province are embraced In ono. An Important feature dosls-ned to bene fit the local merchants is that a twenty-mile territory around every pOKtofftco is a local tone, enjoying rate considerably lower than thorn provided for In the provincial tone. For the first three months of oper ation parcels up to six pounds only are to be taken. Afterward when the eystein gets Into proper running order the full limit of eleven pound will be carried. The local zone sys tem Id expected to be of great bene fit to merchants and ateo to farmers and gardener who can use the nuill for nendljig produce to their local market at low rates. A parcel of eleven pounds can.' bo sent twenty miles for two cents a Kund, and thl Is expected to give the farmer a decided advantage in marketing eggs and other perishable matter. It will ulo give a decided advantage to the country merchant over the city department stores. The former can wnt out goods In parcels up to elev en pounds to hla customers flt two cents a pound, while if the same goods were ordered from a cotwrn mere ihnn twenty miles dlstianrf, k would coPt nhoiit five cents a o.inid for pontage. The next rate U rixed for the Prov ince In wlvVfc the parcol Is potc, the riiMl pound to be tea cents and each additional foiind for four cent. For nji ntjwent Province the rn's of ten cemt for the first pound applies, but for eo.h additional pound an et tra charge of two cents la Imposed making the rate ten' cents for tha first pound and six cents for eacti aotJeequenl pound. Beyond ttte Province adjoining tha one la whkfc the parcel la mailed, av additional two cent a a pound t ln powd for nch Province that haa to be eraraed to the deetlnatkm of the parcel na to a maximum charge of twelve cents a pound.
