THE ALLIANCE (NEBRASKA) HERALD
POPULAR STORE TO BE
GREATLY ENLARGED
Uiirc-Xali Ciiiitiiny, Ihtutlia, Will
1'Srret Kljilit-Stoiy ItuUding on
Site of 1 V 1 ThoAti'.
It is a pleasure for us to note the
progress of a reliable, enterprising
mercantile establishment, especially
when that establishment is located in
the great state of Nebraska.
Durness-Nash Company of Omaha
have purchased the Boyd theatre
building, Seventeenth and Harney
ftreets. adjoining their large store on
the vest. On this site they will erect
a magnificent. eight-story store
building, making it a part of the pre
sent Btore which will l.- extended
the entire block from Sixteenth to
Seenteenth on Harney.
If we are not mistaken, this will
be when completed the largest build
ing in Nebraska devoted exclusively
to merchandising. With their power
and warehouse occupying the south
west corner of the same block, corner
of Seventeenth and Howard streets,
they will come nearer occupying an
cntrie city block, on all sides, than
any other store in the state.
It is the policy of The Herald to
encourage its readers to ratronize
their home merchants, the merchants
In the towns nearest them, when
practicable to do so! but it often hap
pens that ranchmen and their wives,
and other people, too, cannot get in
the small stores wha tthey want. In
auch cases It is much better to pat
ronize a big Nebraska store that han
dles only dependable goods, and not
eend away to a distant state and
trust to luck to get anything that
will be satisfactory.
By all means visit the Burgess
Nash Company store when in Omaha.
You will receive a cordial welcome
ami courteous treatment and be
pleased with what you see.
Morale a New Word.
Nnpcleon once remarked that rror
ale Is to other factors ;n wr-.r tis ihrce
to one. Morale is a now word tc t.nr
speech, nnd I do not !:;iov Unit tn
one has yet fully deiini'tl it, hut there
re certain faetort. hi h must e'ltei
Invi its composition. And one of nvv
factors Is the turning of ne n's :i.l.nl
away from tLe trendie to oihei
thoughts nnd occupation'. Without n
change of mental atmosphere morbid
ness comes uud home-sickness and Un
feeling of being "fed up" on the v:ir

to packing cases made of wood lin

the market than can be used, the
prices go down, and when the de
mand for meat is greater than the
supply, the prices go up. The Stock
Yards Companies have no influence
whatever on the prices as they re
ceive only a small yardage fee per
head for all live stock handled and a
small margin to cover the cost of
handling feed and hay. The Inter
ests of Troducers, Stock Yards Co.
and Fackers are so Inter-related that
the success of either is dependent on
the prosperity of the other. The
S'.ock Y'ards Companies or I'ackers
cannot do business without h 1 pate
receipts of live stock, and the Pro
ducer would be unable to market his
stock to advantage were it not for
the public markets and the packers.
It is manifest, therefore, that the in
terests of the Producers. Packers and
Public Markets are mutual and the
closest co-operaiton and congdence
must prevail between these interests.
Stock Y'ards should not be confus
ed with the packing concern, they
are two distinct and separate busi
nesses, operating independently. The
act solely as receiving and holding
depots for live stock, which must be
fed, watered and cared for, when ar
riving. It is true that in some local
ities it has been necessary for pack
ers to help finance building and es
tablishment of stock yards, for the
same reason that they had to build
refrigerator cars to provide proper
facilities and to reive shippers ade
quately. Without the efficient organization
of Packers in this country during the
war, what a problem it would have
been for our government lo f ed the
fighters, and without the public mar
kets, what a problem it woulr. have
been for these packers to get their
supply of live stork. There was not
a single industry in the country as
well organized or required as little
readjustment as did the system
which hnndled the marketing and
handling of meat food supplies dur
ing the war.
The needs of this Government ami
its Allies have been large and
promptness in handling was very es
sential. On a telephone order from
Washington, a certain packer ship
ped 240 cars of meat a day for four
teen days, or eight million, pound
daily. Figures of this magnitude
will forcibly bring to the notice of
those factions to disrupt or disorgan
ize this great distributive system,
which had they been successful
would have been felt first by the
producers as their marketing chan
nels would have been seriously ef
fected and their output tremendous
ly restricted.
Considerable has been said rela
tive to the profit of the Stock Yards
and Packing Industries. To illus
trate just what profit is made on the
sale of a steer, according to statistics
of the Bureau of Markets. United
States Department of Agriculture
66 to 5'- goes to the stockman, 3
to 4 r r to carrier and Stock Y'ards
companies, ami out of this less than
one-half of one percent goes to the
Stock Yards Company, S to 6 to
packer and 15 to 20 rr to retailer.
Since July 1918, the Packers and
Stock Y'ards Companies have been
operating under Government regula
tions through the Food Administra
tion and Bureau of Markets and very
little, If any. change has been made
in the handling of live stock through
public markets or the parkins of
meat products naturally the as
sumption is that the original meth
ods employed by these concerns were
proper and this Is emphasized by the
efficient manner In which Uncle Sam
nnd his Allies were provided for
during the war in the way of meat
food products.
The matter of particular Interest
to the producers of the west Is the
steadv growth of the Omaha market
which Is slowly, but Just as surely,
creeping Into first place as a live
stock market. It having held second
place In the live stock markets of the
world for several years. This Is of
the utmost Importance to the west
ern shipper who will readily recog
nize the advantage of shipping to his
nearest large market, thus saving
freight, time and shrinkage. He la
also assured of prices equal to those
of any market togehter with best
handling that modern construction
and financing will afford.

Time's Changes.
Cnrsnr used to wait days to hent

today the descendants of his legions
who plow the sunny fields near Ham

their strawberries from places thou

Staterooms.
There was on old fellow named
Shreve who ran steamboats before
Jackson fought the redcoats at New
Orleans. In ShreveV time the cab
Ins were curtained cv.T Just like these
uew-fnngled sleepins-oar berths. The
old man built wooden rooms, and he
named them after the different states,
Kentucky, nnd Illinois and Pennsyl
vania. So that when a fellow came
aboard he'd say: "What state am 1
in, Cap?" And from this remark the
nnme stateroom has spread all over
Iho world- 1
Need for Beth Law and Sword.
In all government there must of ne

laws without arms would give us not
liberty but licentiousness, and arms
A-'thout liiv would produce not ub
ection but slavery. Colton.
