Nebraskas Meeting Place
Thats what people are now calling the
City of Lincoln Nearly all societies of
every sort meet some time during the
year in Lincoln and this givesThe State
Journal a peculiar interest to state
readers as it devotes more space to Buch
meetings than any two other state
papers The recent teachers associa
tion called together nearly 5000 of the
state teachers and every home that has
a school child was interested in the
reports of their doings Especially was
every member of a school board inter
ested Soon will come the great agri
cultural meetings and columus of facta
will be printed in The Lincoln Journal
that affect the earning power of every
farmer Then of course the legislature
will be here for three months and surely
you will be interested in what it will do
in regard to regulating the liquor traffic
and guaranteeing bank deposits The
Journal spends more money for and de
votes more space to its legislative reports
than any other paper Its a Journal
specialty The Journal is not a city
paper its a state paper and its energies
are pushed in the direction of dealing
with state affairs Whatever interests
you as a taxpayer interests The Journal
and you will find the impartial disinter
ested facts in its columns
