"The qualified office help situation is the most critical at present that we have ever known it to be," declared President T. A. Blakeslee of the Ne braska School of Business, Lincoln, in an interview for the press a few days ago. He then went on to relate the difficulties experienced by his in stitution in its endeavor to suddIv the employing public with all the competent help that it asked for. Carefully tabulated statistics on file In Mr. Blakeslce's office go to prove the truth of his asser'.'jn U.at despite the unusually large number of book- ' keepers and stenographers produced by his school the past nine months, it has been impossible for his employ ment bureau to supply more than one fourth of the calls for help, so heavy has been the demand. Irinay be dif ficult for the skeptical to take this without the proverbial "grain of salt." but the figures on filejire convincing, and those interested are invited to investigate. , s s To. Have Fewer Employes. Realizing that many business firms re going to have to operate ;with f datively fewer. employes, the com ing year than ever before, the man agement, of the Nebraska School of Business has installed at consider- able expense the latest of labor-saving and efficient devices used in the modern business office. Expert in struction is offered to students in these various courses, and business men of Lincoln are becoming much interested, even to the extent of let ting off some of their employes for an Hour or two each cay, m order that they may enroll for these special courses and become the more effi cient. A few years aso this practice of go ing to school "on the boss'3 time" -was a thing unheard of; but the mod ern employer has not been sloW to ace the economy involve! If by taking the special work for an hour or two each day for six months the clerk or bookkeeper ' becomes twice as effi cient as for.ierlv, the employer is money and satisfaction ahead. Be ides, if it becomes necessarylor him to run his .business with half the clerical force he formerly employed it naturally followed that each em ploye must do twice his former amount of Work, unless business is to suffer. In addition to courses offered in .auch new labor-saving devices as the hortwriter, the ledger-posting ma chine, and the automatic calculator (sometimes erroneously called the "comptometer"), the regular courses tvill be offered in shorthand,-typewriting, normal training, civil service, bookkeeping, banking, farm account ing, commercial law. business English, arithmetic, rapid calculation, penman- -ship and pen art, office practice, etc. The same rel -',!e and highly ef ficient faculty will be found on duty this coming season, as formerly. The whole institution has been put in rime order, ant! all things are ready ior an unusually heavy fall enroll ment Lux Manufacturing Co. Making Rapid Growth Some one has said (hat "nothing tucceeds like success," and the rapid growth of the Lux Manufacturing company since it came under the man- agement of G. H. Lux would prove the saying true, at least in this in stance. The company was first started about three years ago and was known as tie Zimmerman Manufacturing com pany. Soon after its organization Mr. Lux purchased a half interest in the business and last May secured the ntire stock. Under his management the company has rapidly increased its output until today i is one of the most nourising -business firms of its ize in the city of Lincoln. . The company, situated at Twenty third and X streets, on the Missouri Pacific tracks, employs fifteen men at the present time, although the ca pacity of the plant would give em ployment to many more. However, men , are hard fo find and the kind that is required by the Lux people v must be mighty good. The company locs a general sheet mela work, making a specialty of reconstruction - and repair of automobiles. Old di lapidated affairs that would seem to have out-lived their usefulness are made to look like new machines, under the system of reconstruction used by the company, 1 j - 11 11 1 1 ' Suburbs Big Factor . r In Growth of Lincoln Lincoln is surrounded by suburbs, industrial and educational. The chief industrial suburb is Havelock, where the great Burlington shops are lo cated, employing over 1.C00 men. The suburbs which are the seat ol educational institutions are College View with its Union college, Bethany with its Cotner college, and Univer- VttT Place with its splendid institu- s tion, the Nebraska Wesleyan univer sity. These colleges, together with the University of Nebraska and the va rious business colleges in Lincoln proper, actually bring a great ilood of students to Lincoln and its sub urbs, so much so that the entire city and its suburbs take on the appear ance of a great cultural community of students and educators. Uni-Lectric System ( Attracts Atention The Uni-Lectric Light and Power plant will be of great interest to vis-itors-at the state fair.. Knowing that nowadays there are thousands pf peo ple anxious to instalf a plant in their homes where they may be able to burn from one to fifty lights, and that is what we claim can be done with this wonderful machine. The demand for electricity for both, lights and power is universal. We are sincere in our belief that the Uni-Lectric sys tem, some three years ago, marked the arrival of the first trulypractical home size plant. Founders' Plans Care , . For Increasing Population The citv of Lincoln has mnrm nnl. today wjthin fivemiles of its post- omcc man tne entire state had when the citv was nrvvH imi ioi ..t Yes it has more people'by half. When'i incoin was surveyed the entire popu lation of the state was 40,000. Now the population of Lincoln alone is something like 65,000. ' The founders were wise, however, ard had an idea the city would grow. They laid it out witlr wid- streets, and planned the entire plat with a view to accommodating a big population some day.

' He began: ' "O Columbia, gem of the " ocean. The home of tha brave and tha free" The listeners withstood several painful lines of this, snd there wasn't a break, "A world offers homage to thee," he screamed. Then came the triumph of the song.
