Attention if Nebraska Ranchmen
and Farmers Is Invited to Stock
men Publications
KO OTHER PAPER LIKE Til KM
Sample copies of this Issue of The
Alliance Herald and The Nebraska
Stockman are being sent to stockmen
whose names are not yet on our reg
ular subscription list, as an invitation
to subscribe for one of the two pub
lications. For their information the
following explanation is made.
The Alliance Herald Is published
weekly at f 1.50 per year. Once each
month a special stockmen's edition
Is printed, featuring the ranching In
terests of the west half of Nebraska.
This Is not done regularly or perman
ently, if at all, by any other publica
tion. In fact, it is not practicable
for more than one publication to en
Rage in this feature extensively, for
the simple reason that a considerable
expense is incurred and the extra
business secured thereby, the amount
f which is necessarily limited, would
not be sufficient to cover the expense
If incurred by several publications.
For the accommodation of persons
who wish the special, monthly stock
men's editions of The Alliance Her
ald, but who do not wish 10 buo.scnbe
for the weekly paper, the matter re
lating to ranch interests, etc., is pub
lished in the form of a monthly per
iodical, known as The Nebraska
Ranchman, which will be sent to any
address for fifty cents per year.
Every person who is interested in
stock raising in Nebraska is Invited
to subscribe for either The Alliance
Herald, weekly, with special stock-!
men's Edition once each month, at
$1.50 per year; or The Nebraska
Stockman, monthly, at 50 cents per
year.
Attention is called to the clubbing
offer, in another column, with the
Farmer and Breeder, a good semi
monthly periodical, published at
Sioux City, la. By subscribing for
the Farmer and Breeder in connec
tion with The Alliance Herald or The
Nebraska Stockman, the price of one
paper can be saved.
THE WELLINGTON INN
"On the Lincoln HighwayIn the
, Civic Center of Omaha" 1 'leas
ant Stopping Place
The Wellington Inn, Omaha, is
one of this paper's many advertisers
that it is a pleasure to recommend
from personal knowledge. It may
not be metropolitan" for a newspa
per to mention- its advertisers editor
ially, but that isn't what we are try
ing to be, anyhow; we are simply
trying to give our readers what they
want in their newspaper, and every
body a square deal every time.
To gentlemen and ladies who wish
to stop at a first-class hotel, at a rea
sonable price, somewhat back from
the din of the city's trailic center,
and yet in a convenient location. The
Wellington Inn offers just what they
want. Ladies who visit Omaha will
find this an especially pleasant place
for them.
Altho expecting a good many
guests during the time of the Sunday
evangelistic meetings, persons going
to Omaha to attend those services,
Manager McFadden announces that
there would be no advance in rates
at that time or during any other
function.
The following item concerning
Wellington Inn is taken from the
Omaha World-Herald:
I Thousands o fdollara have
been spent by the new lessees of
Wellington Inn, Payne & Slater
Co., in making it a most inviting
hotel. This money has gone in
to marble, plumbing, rugs, wall
decoration and furniture, and
space, a new parlor being built
and corridors changed.
English pictures hung on the
parlor floor in keeping with the
name of the house, running Ice
water on each floor and more
baths, Including showers, those
on the third iioor being for wo
men only. It has an atmos
phere that bespeaks elegance
and at the same time attracts
desirable traveling and resident
guests.
It is unique in being the only
hotel in the city equipped with
the sprinkler system of fire pro
tection. R. D. McFadden, former hotel
commissioner of - the state, is
manager, and everybody counts
him a prince.
Payne A Slater Co., who are
large managers of apartment
houses, are successfully putting
into the Wellington Inn their
knowledge of what people want
in rooms and service.

New tJourse Added to Engineering
Divishiii at Ames, Iowa
Since the editorial In this paper on
"Acquiring Technical Knowledge"
was written, the following news Item
has appeared in the daily papers
from Ames, Iowa, the seat of the Io
wa State Agricultural College:
Ames, la., Sept. 20 A new
course designed to "teach every
farm boy to operate a car" has
been instituted by the engineer
ing division at Iowa Slate col
lege this year.
The need for such an ex
tremely practical course as this
has been felt for a long time, in
order to give students who go
into county and state work,
where the operation of a ma
chine is necessary, practical and
money -saving information.
"Twelve hundred dollars for a
year's running expenses of a
county car, and this due, to Ig
norance in operating, is too
much" says a county official who
received such a bill last year
from one of the county's em
ployes. Such a course In automobile
engineering as is to be given at
Ames this year will eliminate
Just such exorbitant expenses.
The instruction will be in the
bands of Prof. R. A. Leavell,
who has had plenty of practical
experience along that line. Prof.
Leavell haB been chief engineer
In several automobile factories
and bts also studied automobile
manufacturing in Europe.

THE WESTERN RATE CASE
Application for Permission to In
crease Freight Hate on I.lvo
Stock and Farm Producis'
When the eastern railroads were
granted a general Increase in freight
rutes last winter, a good many people
conclu..ded that it would not be
long before the western roads would
be handed a similar present on,' per-
haps, a silver platter. On the other
hand, the Interstate Commerce Com
mission probably received more ad
verse criticism than praise for deal
ing with the eastern roads on a more
liberal basis than public opinion was
ready to sanction. What effect the
attitude of the public had on the set
tlement of the requests of the west
ern roads for an Increase in revenue
' is difficult to say, but It looks as
, though it did not entirely' fall upon
, deaf ears. The commission haB Just
j given its decision upon the rate in
; creases asked by the western roads.
but has refused to grant increases on
a good many important products. As
It stands, the railroads are probably
falrlv well satisfied, for the new rates
provide for increases estimated to
yield an annual income ot ,a little ov
er $1,600,000. Since this means
that much more net instead of gross
income per year, it will be a consid
erable boost for the railroads after
all.
The commodities on which increas
ed rates have been allowed are: Car
loads of brewer's rice, fruits and veg
etables, hay and straw, bitumnlous
coat and coke. On the following, in
creased rates were not allowed: Live
stock and packing house products,
grain and grain products, fertilizers,
cotton and cotton goods. Farmers I
should feel well satisfied with the de- I
cision because rates for the more im
portant commodities from their
standpoint live stock and grain and
products made therefroa remain
unchanged. Farmer and Breeder.
Future Cost of Farm Itbor
Farm labor is more expensive to
day ttian ever; in spite of this It is
less reliable and possibly also less
competent. The labor problem is al
ready causing considerable anxiety,
but what of the near future? The
great world war will bring about big
changes not only in Europe, but also
in this country, and the farmer is not
likely to escape their effects. In the
first place,' millions of able-bodied
men will have- been killed when
peace is trnally restored and other
millions will be physically unable to
do the work they did before t'ae war.
On the other hand, when tue war is
over there will be an unusually
strong demand for labor in Europe.
Untold damages will have to be re
paired, not in five or ten years hence,
but at once. This extraordinary de
mand for labor in Europe will un
questionably prevent eigraliou to
this country and bring about a labor
scarcity here. The great bulk of the
foreign labor that comes to this coun
try is unskilled and, for a time at
least, remains unskilled; and since
the labor that drifts to the farms is
also unskilled, there can be little
doubt but that the wages of farm
hands will advance. Farmer and
Breeder.
