NEBRASKA DRAWS :
EYES OF EAST TO
ITS ACTIVITIES
George Brandeis Notes Com
ment on This State; Has
Buyers in Field Two
Months Early.
George Brandeis, head of the Bran
deis interests in Omaha, has returned
from a trip to the New York market,
more impressed than ever with the
way Nebraska is entering into the
various war activities. He noted how
the east is taking up the Nebraska
plan used in the War Savings stamp
drive, tastics which placed this state
in the front ranks, and that the eyes
of the east are on Nebraska. "I see
another great success for the cam
paign now on and which will reach
its climax June 28," said Mr. Brandeis.
"If people would only realize that this
is the safest and best small investment
in the world today, they would quick
ly buy as many as they could afford.
"I am glad to say that many of
Brandeis stores buyers already have
been in the market more than two
weeks and the others are either on
their way or to go very shortly. We
are 'sending our buyers to New York
and the eastern markets this season
almost two months ahead of (he reg
ular schedule, giving them the ad
vantage of being first !n the field and
enabling them to secure the pick of
the best fall merchandise.
Omaha the Real Market,
"Our personal representatives are
reaching New York and the eastern
manufacturing centers when business
is at a low ebb and makers are de
sirous of turning the merchandise
they have into money.
"There is no need for anyone to
buy anything they need outside of
Omaha the best that the most prom
inent makers in the country produce
will find earliest presentation here.
And because of our foresight we shall
be able to distribute this fall mer
chandise at lower prices than else
where. "Traveling is not the luxury it used
to be and there is more reason than
ever for everyone to purchase what
they need right here.

provements in the Brandeis stores

pletely transformed. Will present one

Omqhct OryKeeps
Children at the Detention Home
Keeping liquor out of the house
means keeping the children out of
the detention home. At least, this is
the way Miss Emma Rosicky, prin
cipal of the Bancroft school, which
the children living at, the Riverview
detention home, attend, She ex
plains that instead of 40 children from
there, as in past years, they had less
than 10 at any one time last year.
"There is considerable misunder
standing as to the class of children at
the detention home," said Miss
Rosicky. "Many people think that it
is a place for bad children. On the
contrary, I have never had one child
in my school from there whom I
would consider really bad. Of course,
some are mischievous and someTm
Hisciplined, like many other children,
but ou the whole they are exception
ally good hoys and girls.
"The children at the home are those
of the Huns this spring when they
saved the day and stopped the Teu
ton hordes in the bloody fight at
Cambrai."
While a resident of Omaha Capt
Whipperman was engaged as a con
tractor of concrete work. He has
never lost Interest in the possibilities
of concrete construction.
He had a piece of the rock on his
worth from Camp Cody. While at
the latter cantonment he was at
tracted by the lightness and lack of
density of the lava rock which covers
the country around Deming, N. M.
He had a piece of the rock on his
desk as a paper weight and during a
sandstorm the wind lifted the rock
-from the desk and carried' it quhe a
distance,- This accident led the cap
tain to investigate the formation and
he was astonished at the strength of
texture and the lack of density and
porosity of the formation. It was al.
most as light as wood, nearly mallea
ble and naturally waterproof. At the
time there was 'the first agitation of
itheceoncrete ship' and ; he called the
attentrort of the shipping board and
Navy, department to possibilities of
the lava rock or matpaf to the uses of
concrete shipbuilding,
? The two departments wrote him,
assuring hitji he had made an impor
tant and. valuable discovery and the
rockr formation, -which forms a limit
less: supply of material, will be stud
ied by government experts with a
view to its" utilization in concrete
shipbuilding. '"

PROFIT ON COAL
ENUMERATED BY
FUELJCTATOR
Also Makes Public How Mar
gins Are to Be Figured;
New Order Effective
Tuesday.
"A great responsibility rests upon
the coal dealers of Nebraska to keep
the state supplied with coal next win
ter, and it must be made possible for
them to serve their several communi
ties to the best advantage," says John
L. Kennedy, fuel administrator, in a
letter that he has just issued.
Mr. Kennedy enumerates the profits
that dealers are permitted to charge
and the manner in which dealers are
to arrive at these profits. The cost of
the coal to the dealers shall include
the mine price, the freight, war tax,
purchasing agent's commission, if
any; weighing, unloading from the
railway car and drayage.
It is provided that all retail dealers
within the state shall post up and
maintain in their places of business,
accessible to their customers, a sched
ule showing the cost to them of each
kind of coal and coke handled, the
margin gross allowed and the retail
price at their yards; also, their dray
age and delivery charges.
Ton 2,000 Pounds.
Two thousand pounds is fixed as
the ton and all selling prices are based
on this weight. The Pennsylvania
anthracite is not taken into considera
tion, as it is figured that none of this
kind of coal is coming into Omaha
trade territory.
On coals that will be on the Omaha
market during the coming season, Mr.
Kennedy authorizes profits per ton as
follows:
Colorado Anthracite Not yard screened,
11.36; screened, II. 0 per ton.
Rpadra Not screened $1.80; screened.
Il.lt. Bernice, not ' soreenea, IMS
screened, ll 5 Arkansas seml-anthracUe,
not screened, 1.S0; Oklahoma, II. 0.
Bituminous Iowa Not arsened, 11.15;
screened, 11.75. The same amount of profit
per ton la allowed on the Kansas and Mis
souri coal.
On the Colorado. Utah, Wyomlns and
Oklahoma bituminous coals ths dealers are
allowed a profit of 1.45 per ton on tho un-(-rained,
and II. IS on the srreoned.
Illinois coal carried a profit of 11.65 on
tha unscreened and 11.70 a ton on the
screened.
On Colorado and Wyomtnf llirnlto, deal
ers are allowed a profit of $1.80 a ton on
the unscreened and 11.70 on tha si-raencd.
All other domestic coals are to be sold
at a profit of 11.36 a ton on the unscreened
and 11.76 on the screened.
On steam coal tha profit allowed is 10
cents a ton and on coke, $1 on the un
screened and $1.40 on the screened.
Other Cost Items.
The dealer is authorized to figure
into the cost of carrying on the busi
ness such items as wages, insurance
taxes, interest, rents and equipment.
Mr. Kennedy suggests that the coal
business be put on a cash basis, as
serting that dealers expect customers
to pay promptly and urges that con
sumers of coal Jay in their supplies as
early as September 1, contending that
if this is done there will not be much
possibility of a fuel shortage next
winter.
The profits that are authorized by
the fuel administration are to become
effective Tuesday morning and con
tinue until further notice.

War Camp This Week
A. M. Post, jr., assistant sales man-
ager of the Bankers Realty invest
ment company, in charge of the em
ployment department, has enlisted in
the National army and leaves this
week for a cantonment some place in
the United States.
Post is a member of an old Ne
braska family, whose father, Judge
A. M. Post of Columbus, Neb., is
widely known as former chief justice
of the supreme court or Nebraska, ,
He is a Nebraska native son. He
was born in Columbus and there he
received his early education. His fin
ishing work was done at bhattuck,
Minn., Military academy, which he
attended for five years.
Saturday afternoon Post's fellow
employes gave him a farewell demon
stration, the most important, and as
Post affirms, the most valuable part
of which were a series of instructions
in jui jitsi holds, which he says he
confidently expects to try out sooner
or later on Kaiser Bill, and if not on
the old man at least on the crown
prince, to whom he affectionately re
fers as little Willie.
Anyway, there'll be lots of fun
somewhere in the United States and
somewhere in France after Post gets
there, for he is noted, in fact famous,
for his ability to make light of any
and every situation anticipated and
otherwise.
Post is the latest of many employes
of the Bankers Realty Investment
company to go into the National
army.
