Thursday, September 25, 1919 THE ALLIANCE (NEBRASKA) HERALD POPULAR STORE TO BE GREATLY ENLARGED Ilurc(-Xali Cmwny, (Hnalia, Will Kmt KlKtit-stoi lluilding vn Site of lloyd. Theatre. 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. Uurpees-Nasli Company of Omaha have purchased the Boyd theatre building, Seventeenth and Harney streets, adjoining their large store on the west. On thl9 site they will erect a magnificent, eight-story store building, making it r part of the pre sent store which will bo extended the entire block from Sixteenth to Seventeenth 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 entrie city block, on all sides, than any other store in the state. It is the policy of The Herald to encourage its readers to patronize their home merchants, the merchants In the towns nearest them, when practicable to do bo! but it often hap pens that ranchmen and their wives, and other people, too, cannot get in the small stores wha tthey want. In such cases It is much better to pat ronize a big Nebraska store that han dles only dependable goods, and not Bend 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 and courteous treatment and be pleased with what you see. Morale a New Word. ICnpoleon once remarked that rrnr ale Is to other factors in wr.r tis -.hrce to one. Morale is n now word tc nr epet'(h, and I do nrt know that tn.v one has yet fully defined it, hut there re certain factor. which mut niti'i lnv its composition. Ami oiu of lese factors is the turning of ni"ii's a. I. ids away from tLe trencher to otliei thoughts and occupation.

TIII2 I'l'ISMC MAUKKT FOU I. IV KSTXH'K Timber In Burma. Burma grows over t. hundred vnrl Mies of every sort of timber. Yet up to last year she exported her rubber In packing cases made of wood im )Orted from Japan. It hn now beer found that they can be made locally tr tbont half the cost. (Continued from Tage 1.) the market than can bo 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 Qf handling feed and hay. The inter ests of Troducers, Stock Yards Co. and Tackers are so inter-related that the success of either is dependent on the prosperity of the other. The Stock Y'ards Companies or I'ackers cannot do busines:-. without nlai'iat 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 rackers. 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 Yards 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 Fame reason that they had to build refricerator cars to provide proper facilities and to serve 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 to ffed the fighters, and without tLe public mar kets, what a problem ii woitl". have been for these packers to get their supply of live stock. There was not a sinele industry in the country as well organized or required as little readjustment as did the system which handled the marketing and handling of meat food supplies dur ing the war. The needs of this Government and its Allies have been large and promptness in handling was very es sential. On a telephone order from Washington, a certain packer ship ped 2 40 cars of meat a day for four teen days, or eight million pounds daily. Fieures 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 Packine 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 goes to the stockman, 3 to t'j to carrier and Stock Y'ards companies, and out of this less than one-half of one percent goes to the Stock Yards Company, fi to 6 to packer and 1.1 to 20 r'r to retailer. Since July 1918, the Packers and Stock Yards Companies have been operating under Government rrgula- tions through the Food Adminlstra-j Hon and Bureau of Markets and very , nan. i 1 t . . nine, ii any. cnanpe hub irii uinua In the handling of live stock through public markets or the packing: 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 and his Allies were provided for during the war in the way of meat food rroducts. The matter of particular Interest to the producers of the west Is the steady growth of the Omaha market which is slowly, but Just as surely, creeping Into first place as a live stock market. !t 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 is also assured of prices equal to those of any market togehter with best handling that modern construction and financing will afford. C. A. SMITH. Time's Changes.

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 otT just like these tiew-fnngled sleeping-car berths. The old man built wooden rooms, and be named them after the different states, Kentucky, and Illinois and Pennsyl vania. So that when a fellow came aboard he'd say: "What state am I !n, Cap?"
