according to sentiments expressed rt
the conventon. the textile indirry
is in especially pood shape, beina: the
first to p;et in out of the rain. Trices
have reached a stable basis in '.h;s in
dustry, and are but little higher thun
those brought by forced sales. From
the bifr manufacturers down, there is
a peneral feeling that the worst is
over.
Business is bepinnincr to pick up
somewhat, after a month of exceeding
dullness. It is especially noticeable in
Omaha. The Byrne-Hammer 1'ry

they received more orders in Mon 1 i.v's

On Thurnday of last week the pre
liminary steps were taken toward the
organization of a Rotary club in this
city, pays the Custer County Chief. At
that time G. L. Griggs of Alliance,
superintendent of this division of the
Burlington and special representative
of the International association of Ro
tary clubs spent the day here and met
a number of the business men of the
city to talk over the matter of local
organization. Mr. Griggs was accom

coln, traveling passenger agent of the
Burlington, and Harry Thiele, a busi
man of Alliance, both enthusiastic
Rotarians.
A noonday luncheon with eighteen
plates laid was served at the Seattle

organize only in towns of five thou
sand 0? more. It is now organized in
hundreds of cities of the United States
and has a total membership bf close to
a million. If Broken Bow's applica
tion passes the national board of gov
ernors it is said that this will be the
smallest city in the United States at
the present time to haye a Rotary club.
ANTI-CLAIM CRUSADE
ON THE BURLINGTON
The loss and damage committee of
the C, B. & Q. railroad is after claims
with an axe. Officers and employes
have pledged themselves to reduce
claims to a new minimum or know the
reason why. They just don't want to
associate with claims a-tall.
Freight Claim Agent J. D. Shields,
says: "A claim represents a defect in
asrvico It. means that somebodv fell
down. No one want to fall down on
his job. We all want 100 per cent
service, both in what we give and what
we receive.
A claim represents an economic
waste of the country's products, a loss
n enni&tv. a Insa that increases the
W - 1 . -
cost of living, a loss which all of us as
consumers help to pay. Losing one
dollar's worth of grain results in de
priving somebody of four dollars'
"A claim represents additional work,
4 nnnoi-pwarv and unnleasant work. It
is always easier to prevent a claim
than to explain one.
"A claim represents a dead loss to
the railroad an additional expendi
ture that buys criticism, complaints
and extra work.
"Everybody can help! The receiv-t-nr
oioi-v -uLthn refuses to acceDt an im
properly marked package prevents a
.loim 'Th n. S. Xj D. clerk who takes
aritii tViA p iront of the other road
and finds over' the package he is short
is a 'money maiter ana a ciaim paver.
There are thousands of ways to pre
vent claims. We shall put every one
of them into use during 1921 and are
confident of establishing a record that
will go down in history.

best Bcenery Is passed in day
light. ,
It takes a little longer, but it
costs no more. It is the ideal
route going, returning or both.
