WHY ADS DON'T PAY.
Tell me, are you advertising
In the same old-fashioned way
That your grandfather used to-
And expect the ads to pay?
Or did you get your "card" idea
From the tombstones of the dead?
.They are not unlike each other
Never changed and seldom read.
What you need is an awakening,
You're not dead, but fast asleep;
Finch yourself and get in motion,
Tombstone ads are not so cheap.
Ads not read mean money wasted.
To get dollars and spend dimes

And for dimes' sake change some

pay for it. In America it requires one
week's labor to pay for a good sub
stantia and durable suit of cloths; in
England for the same quality of clothes
it requires two weeks' labor, and in
Germany it requires three weeks' labor,
is what the evidence before the Ways
and Means Committee in Congress
showed. Shall we continue the protec
tion of American wages by a protective
tariir, or shall we go democratic? That
is the question.
Lift your work any man can hold
down a job.
There is no method of making friends
cqal to the method of making good.
The market is just as big as the man
the bigger the man the bigger the
market.
Advertising has been the first prin
ciple of every success in business since
business began.
Don't let precedent and prejudice
hold you in a rut so that progress turns
out and goes around you.
Being forced to work and do your
bent will breed you an hundred virtues
which the idle never know.
Some get confused when they begin
to compare the prices of American
made clothing with foreign made cloth
ing and merely speak of the price in
dollars and cents. The better way for
the working man to measure the prices
is by the length of labor required to
A RICH TERRITORY.
Do we realize the wonderful resources
of the great Missouri valley? Do we
realize that the farm production of the
United States last year amounted to
about ?7,750,(X)0,(MI0? Do we realize
that we are in the very heart of this
immense production? Do we realize
that we are in the center of the richest
portipn of this great wealth producing
territory?
For l'.Hlrt Nebraska stands third in the
list of corn producing states, according
to the government crop estimate. The
final outcome on this crop for our state
was really surprising, all things con
sidered; and the total production realiz
ed must stand as a further convincing
proof, if such were needed, of the im
mense possibilities of Nebraska farm
land. Through tribulation, our pro
ducers have come to most consoling
realization. They have emerged entire
ly from the staggering wave of dis
couragement that hit them in '1)1. And
that is saying much when the far-spread
advertisement of that disastrous year
is kept in mind.
Nebraska today is indeed coming into
her own! She has "arrived" to stay.
Counting in yesterday's babies and
today's transients, the total poplation
within her borders can hardly exceed
1, 250,000. Yet her wealth in principal
crops and live stock this blessed year
of Our Lord will total $:145,:1G5,818.
This means that for every man,
woman and child in Nebraska for the
year 1008 the yield from corn, wheat,
oats, barley, rye, alfalfa, hay, speltz
and potatoes, and horses, mules, cattle,
hogs, and sheep alone would have about
?:?00each.
Here Is Prosperity.
There still remains here and there an
isolat i calamity howling democratic
sheet shouting "we can't see any signs
of prosperity," and "where is your
prosperity now." Simultaneously with
one of these calamity howls, we read
in the press of the country that the
farmers were selling their corn at ti.r
cents per bushel and wheat at iH) cents
to a $1.00 per bushel. We confess that

bank clearings continue to climb right
on up toward new record marks, the
figure for May having reached a total
several millions above that of any pre
vious May since the establishment of
the clearing house. The volume of ex
changes amounted to $C1, 28(5,081.71, an
increase over the same month for 1!08
of $13, 07:1,205. 10.
But once in the history of the clear
ing house has the record for May been
exceeded. That was for March of this
year, when they reached a total of $71,
7G0.302. W5. March is always one of the
heaviest months of the year, as it
marks the period of farm mortgage
settlements and renewals.
The close of Jlast week showed the
following notable increases: For the
week, $ 1,5(17,081.00, 21.0 per cent; for
the month, $l:S,07:i,2!5.10, 21.1 percent;
for five months, $52,9H5,::ii;.l.",, 21.5 per
cent.
During but one month this year have
the clearings fallen below $50,000,000.
This was in February, always the small
month of the year. During three out
of the five months it has gone above
$('( I, (HH),000. The average for the five
months is just a shade below $(!0, 000,000
the total reaching $200,171,182.10. In
this connection it is interesting to note
that this amount is within $1(5,000,000
of being as much as the total for the
entire year l'.MM).
Following is the detailed report of
clearings since the first of the year for
this year and last.

Known real estate transfers of Oma
ha property are $2,000,000 more for the
first five months of 1900 than for the
same months of 1908.
For the month of May the transfers
were $1,024,853, as against $725,572 for
the same month last year. As several
additions have been sold on the partial
payment plan and no deeds have gone
on record, the $1,024,853 by no means
represents the sales of the month.
May was the largest month in the
history of Omaha' in the building line
and the first five months of the current
year have been the largest five months
since the building inspector's office was
established.
The permits for the month of May
were issued for buildings to cost $1,302,
195, or nn increase of 250 per cent over
the building record for May, 1008. Dur
ing the month of May last year 157 per
mits were issued for buildings to cost
$303,385. The buildings of May this
year will cost $068,810 more than those
of last year.

It is a more serious question than ap
pears on the surface. Suppose for ex
ample, that any two of the great pow
ers, for example, Germany and Great
Britian, should engage in a conflict of
arms, or that any one of these great
powers should go to war with any other
nation, what hardships it would work
against our foreign commerce. In
such a case, where would we get the
ships to transport our merchandise?
See what England's littl war with the
Hoers cost this country in the loss of
trade, although the Hoer nation was
without a single vessel of any kind.
