Whi.'e the Ornaha business men stood behind the exposition last year and were willing to pay on sight if neces sary $50,000 to $75,000 to make it a suc cess, the affairs of the exposition were so well managed and the people of the we t so much interested, that the total sum which show cost Omaha was just $25,000. The gate receipts were some thing over $25,000 ar.d revenues from other sources about $20,000. Indications are, however, that the in terest in the corn show has been so widely awakened that it will take a much larger sum to swing the show the coming year ar.d the business men of Omaha, South Omaha and Council BlufTs are prepared for it.

It is likely to be a year yet before thc new buildings provided for Nebraska by the 1903 bill are reached, and it may be longer. There is a suspicion that during these times of deficit treasury the authorities do not work w hich will increase the drain 0:1 the treasury. The plans for the York building, which was in the 1!KW bill, are about done, and wi',1 be ready for ad vertising soon. The building is likely to be constructed and well under way this summer. In 1906 the public building was heavy. There are about sixty buildings still in the list provided for in that building bill on which not a scratch has been made on the plans. The supervising architect's force is limited. Usiair plar.s made for other buildings is often suggested, but is not practicable, be c iuso the plans, even in such ca.-ies must be re-drawn completely, and it takes about as much time to make thern as for new ones. Each building custo dian must have a set of drawings for his building. Send her a post card of your favorite float. At Nemetz & Co.3 i 1 !

Under the statutes the Deputy Com missioner of the Bureau of Labor and Industrial Statistics is made manager of a free employment bureau, where applicants for positions may file appli cations and where those wanting help may make the fact known. The em ployment bureau is thus made a sort of industrial clearing house. Unfortunate ly, the legislature has never made adequate provision for the maintenance of this emiloyment. bureau, and it has never been pushed as it should be. De puty Commissioner Maupin has hopes, however, of securing the necessary sup port. In the meantime, he suggests that Nebraska farmers who may be desirous of employing farm help com municate with him, as he is in receipt of numerous inquiries from men who want to secure employment on farms The service is absolutely free, except that those writing should enclose stamp for reply. Address all communications to the Bureau of Labor and Industrial Statistics, Lincoln, Nebraska. Reduced Priees The associated press says, that re duccd prices were largely the cause of the fall of $307,000,000 in value of im ports and $167,000,000 in exports in the foreign trade of the United States dur ing 1908, according to a report made by the bureau of statistics of the depart ment of commerce and labor. It is shown that while the value of cotton exported ir 1908 was $431,000,000, against $470,000,000 in 1907, there was an increase of 186,000,000 pounds in quantity. Raw silk imports last year : were valued at $64,250,000, as against ! $71,750,000 in preceding year, yet the j quantity increased by 3,000,000 pounds. Wool imports fell 40 per cent in value, but only 24 per cent in quantity. Peter Cveland in the City. Peter Eveland one of the progressive Republicans of Elmwood precinct was in the city Monday evening on business and spent the night. Mr. Eveland is a stockholder of the Plattsmouth Tele, phone company and came down to at tend the annual meeting. He cast his first vote for president of the United States when he was 17 years old and has been voting that way ever since. The News-Herald was glad to regis ter Mr Eveland among its list of readers. Merchants Waking Up. One of these days, and the time is not far distant, every city and town in the United States will have one or more stores in which only nationally adver tised goods are sold. Think of the pull on trade such stores, and especially those that are established first, will have over the others! General adver tisers are spending hundreds of thou sands of dollars each year to make the public familiar with their products, and the retailers who handle them are get ting the bent-fit of the publicity. The advantage of having newspapers, mag azines, billboards and other mediums working to sell their goods without a cent of expense to them is bo great that the wonder is that all merchants have not discovered it long ago. F. A. Harman, a merchant of Lima, Ohio, who advertises that he sells na tionally advertised articles, finds that the policy not only pays well, but that it gives his store a prestige that it would not otherwise have. -Printers Ink.
