Live Stock Sanitary Board to Decide
Tomorrow on Lenpth of
Quarantine.
ANTI-MERGERS WOULD PARLEY
.Whether the drastic quarantine against
the foot andmouth disease will be con
tinued Indefinitely In Nebraska or lifted
when the present order runs out on
March lrt will be settled today when
the State Live Stock Sanitary board
meets at Uncoln.
The present order has been on for a
month and a petition of S.000 names Is
said to have been presented to the gov
ernor asking that it be lifted. On the
other hand a petition asking that tho
quarantine be kept on Nebiaska for an
indefinite period, or until all possible
danger of the spread of the eplr.ootlc has
ceased has been circulated In the western
part of the state among the heavy stock
growers who are said to be backed by
large financial Institutions.
The meeting tomorrow will be a most
Important one, it is said, and the result
will largely depend upon the stand taken
by the Nebraska bankers and the large
western stock growers.
May lie t ninnriimlse
A proposition In the nature of a com -
promise will probably be otfere.l leaving
the whole matter to co-operative action
between the state sanitary boards of Ne
braska and Iowa.
Lieutenant Governor Harding of Iowa
and State Veterinarian J. I. Gibson of
Iowa will be present at the meeting in
Lincoln. State Veterinarian Gibson of
Iowa says there are eighty counties In
Iowa pronoi-nced free area by both state
and federal authorities at tho present
time. He criticises as folly the adoption
of any quarantine measures unnecessarily
rigid.
The present Nebraska embargo he
thinks is especially sex ere on feeder stock
and pure bred stock which can not be
moved across the state line. The local
stockmen who have handled the western
Iowa feeders for years are suffering pos
sibly the loss of 2M cars a day. Some
of these men say that the present quar
antine order Is rigid only Insofar as It
keeps the feeder cattle from western
Iowa out and does not affect the fat
cattle for Immediate slaughter. They
argue that with stuff coming into Ne
braska tbere has been spread of the foot
and mouth disease and they bclievt Uiat
with the proper precautions on the part
of the authorities of both states no In
fected cattle would come in if the em
bargo were lifted insofar as western
Iowa cattle are affected.
Letter from lovra.
Bankers of western Iowa are interested
In raising the embargo and have sent tho
following letter to E. E. Buckingham.
general manager of the South Omaha
tork yards. The letter written by P. V.
Hall, secretary of the Iowa Bunkers' as
sociation, says:
Quarantine regulations against hoof
and mouth disease have been rigidly en
forced In Iowa. The disease has been
confined to a few counties in the eastern
part of the state. Ibeso counties have
inly had a few cases. We urgently re
quest your assists two In raising the em
bargo paced on Iowa by Nebraska.
J our-fifths of the count es in Iowa have
not had a shadow of Infection. The
Omaha market should be opened Im
mediately to at least the western half of
ur state. Our assniatlon will not be
separately represented at the conference

this state, who will attend are the most
competent Judges of tin situation in
Iowa and we trust you will use your
Influence with others In your state to give
western Iowa the relief to which they are
entitled ou reallre without my saying so
that the raising of this embargo will
greatly benefit South Orraha.
Shippers Sign Petitions.
Durlng the last week stock shippers
to the local market from Nebraska points
are said to have eagerly signed the
petition to ralso the embargo now on
so as to permit the free shipment of cat
tle from western Iowa and South Da
kota under the federal supervision. Re
taliatory measures on the part of Colo
rado and Kansas against Nebraska are
feared If the present drastlo quarantine
la kept on, It Is asserted.
Bankers In Omaha and elsewhere In
Nebraska refused to be quoted on the
proposed lifting of the Nebraska quar
antine, yesterday. They explained that
the meeting at Lincoln would pruhably
determine their stand In the matter.
I.nrsrn Kaa Rill Will Win.
Representative John Larson of tiouth
Omaha, in an interview last night, ex
pressed the opinion that the Omaha con
solidation bill will oarry In the bouse,
when It comes to a vote. Larnen is en
thusiastically in favor of the bill. He
has been beselged by the officeholders
to change his stand and It in understood
that County Commissioner John Lynch
was asked to use his influence to switch
I .arson. It is said that Commissioner
Lynch absolutely refused to consider the
proposition.
The leading antls are now trying to
make what terms they can before the
legislature acts on the measure. A pro
position to submit the matter to a vote
of ali the cities. Including Omaha, would
be facccp table to them now, It is said,
If the additional proviso could be made
that the measure would not become ef
fective until 1916. This would extend the
terms of the present officeholders and
also permit the allowance of many public
contracts.
Local business men are now openly
boosting for tho measure and the com
mon taxpayers are anxiously awaiting
for the passage of the bill. The antls
are still hoplrg that the picking inter
ests will assist them. W. L. Kelby,
well known tax representative-of the
South Omaha packers, is said to have
told men favoring the bill that the
packers may get in the game yet. Kelby
has .nade numerous appeals for packer
help, it is said. The latest is that he has
a letter from a Chlcako paaker who is
iald to have expressed some doubt
whether he should let the bill become a
law.
Charter Amendment.
Selby is also the author of a euta lit
tle amendment to the South Orraha city
charter, which will abolish the city as
sessor snd the city board of equalisation
in South Omaha, at least so far as the
large corporations are concerned. It Is
understood.
Generally speaking the people and busl
nesa men of the city ire insisting that the
bill be pushed without any amendments,
so as to Insure participation. In the

the same, you must pay some
one to come around and
"talk" you into it. The man
who talks you into it must
have a commission for tell
ing you what you already
know. He leads you up to
the point of decision.
But in tlio final analysis
it is "copy" that does the
trick. All this machinery of
publicity with accumulated
"overhead" charges and in
cidental commission will
bring nothing to the adver
tiser if the "copy" does not
attract tlio interest and at
tention of readers. If the
"copy" does not make con
sumers for tho product the
comprehensive publicity
plans are a dismal failure.
In fact "copy" is all there
is to Advertising. And all
there is to "copy" is person
ality which, in this in
stance, is merely another
word for salesmanship. Per
sonality is the pulling power
in all successful advertising.
The merchant who can pro
ject his own personality into
his advertising brings about
a certain intimate contact
between himself and his cus
tomers, lie establishes un

intimacy that begets confi
dence. The world has been mak
ing sausage a long time. No
one knows who invented sau
cage, but it remained for a
farmer out in Wisconsin by
the name of Jones to invent
a new way of selling it. He
made some sausage out of
the sweet, juicy, tender lean
meat of little pigs for local
consumers. After his neigh
bors got a taste of it of
course he couldn't make
enough of it. No one is go
ing to eat ordinary sausage
made from tough and husky
rooters when he can get sau
sage made from the succu
lent ment of litle pigs. And
if his neighbors liked it, why
shouldn't he make it on a
larger scale!
Ami so along came" the
dust proof package of "lit
tle pig" sausage which is
such a familiar sight in gro
ceries and meat shops. And
the advertising that Jones
puts out is nothing more
than the kind of talk that
Jones would give to a neigh
lor or to a person who has
never tasted "little pig"
sausage before. It is the

I laid al the door or a member
I of tbe stale rnilWHy commission, wio

i blocked progress by his peculiar Ideas!
upon these things, nni has bern tho

! commission, which has pi evented It from

jispltal. who have dcslro.l to build Inter-'

Senator Hodge in his a i iunient this morn-,
ing in the senate, when In behalf of
IS. F. In), he snoke of the ureal futurn
the state would have If eastern capital
could eoiv.e In nnd have assurance that
it would have an even i nance la maku
good on Its Investment.
11 was understood by all present that
tho argument In tho mutter referred to
Commissioner Hull, whose Ideas on slocks
and bonds have brought on many a con
troversy between himself and bit two
colleagues on the commission.
One of the most Important points lit
the bill Is an amendment to the pros-
lent slock and bonds ;,ct. whii It makes)
It imperative upon the lallway commls.
s on to approve of any bond issue not in
tho excess of iloOftm por construction
mile, provided tbe sum to he realised Is
r.ot less than 70 per cent of tho faco
value of the Ixinds. This would lence
a leeway of ai per cent for promotion
purposes.
The bill will come up sgsln In com
mlttee of the whole In the senate.
The fight for the bill was led by Mesi .
Andersen and Taylor, w hile the opposition
was arrayed under the leadership of
Richmond and Relsner. The friends of tho
bill won out by a Inrge majority when a
motion by Mr. Sass to postpone Indefi

Indefinitely postpone were;

What is it that mnkesyou
listen for the alarm bell as
you read an advertisement of
the Big Ben clock! You ex
pect to be waked every min
utein fact you want to bo
waked up by Big Ben not
by an ordinary alarm clock.
The ordinary alarm clock
suggests a shiver and a
shock on a cold, frosty
morning before daylight.
You don't welcome its intru
sion into your bedroom. You
arc tempted to throw it out
of the window the first time
it gets busy. As you read the
Big Ben advertising from
day to day, however, you are
conscious of a growing af
fection for that clock. You
begin to want him for a
rocm-mate. The man who
wrote that advertising could
sell you a Big Ben alarm
clock in a few moments if he
met you face to face.
Personality is the dyna
mich of advertising. It is in
dividuality plus salesman
ship. It is that which moves
the goods' from the dealer's
shelves. -
