attractions and opportunities of
Nebraska, and also numerous ad-
vertisements of manufacturing
concerns who make good goods
in Nebraska and are not afraid
to let people know it.

NEBRASKA'S ANNIVERSARY.
Governor Aldrich by proclamation
has called attention to the fact that
March 1 is the forty-fifth anniversary
of Nebraska's admission to the Union.
The proclamation appears elsewhere,
and it is deserving of careful consid
eration. The enterprising citizens of
the state should be quick to - follow
the governor's suggestion and. put in
the day writing to people outside of
the state, setting forth in detail the
Splendid opportunities Nebraska offers
to homeseekers and investors.
' Time and again Will Maupin's
Weekly has called attention to the
fact that Nebraska has been woefully
remiss in her duty to herself . She has
failed to secure for herself deserved
publicity. She has failed to let the
world know what she is and has. True,
we have been pretty busy making a
state, but could we not have builded
greater and better had we advertised
the state's resources as other and less
favored states have advertised their
resources? '
' Will Maupin's Weekly heartily com
mends Governor Aldrich for his public
spirit in issuing this proclamation. It
demonstrates that he realizes the need
of publicity for Nebraska and is will
ing to lend his every influence in that
direction. It is a policy that should
be adopted by every progressive citi
zen. ' But Will Maupin's Weekly would
make bold to greatly emphasize part
the governor's proclamation.' In addi
tion to ' letter writing on that anni
versary, let the schools celebrate it
with ' appropriate exercises.- Let the
pupils be told in song and story of
Nebraska's marvelous history and
progress. Let them be acquainted with
the"' state's wonderful productivity,
with her magnificent industrial insti
5 tutions and with her future possibili
ties. Let us make it an annual cele
bration. Then let us set - our minds
pon the golden jubilee of the state in
1917, determined to hold a great state
exposition that will show to the eye
the evidences of Nebraska's develop- -sent.
"MADE IN LINCOLN."
One of the first public enterprises
polled off by the Lincoln Ad Club was
the "Made in Lincoln" exposition at
the auditorium. It was the first thing
ef the kind ever attempted in Lincoln,
rail it was a tremendous success. Not
only was It a success finacially, but
it was one of the greatest business
educators the city ever had. The
next year, the matter was turned
ever to the Commercial Club, which
saw fit to alter the original purpose
and name it a "Lincoln Industrial
Exposition," opening the doors to any
and all lines of business. This news
paper regretted to see this change in
the purpose originated by the Ad
Club, believing that it would have
been better to keep it strictly for Lin
coln. But regardless of the change,
the exposition was again such a suc
cess that we were impelled to believe
it was a fixture. However, here it is
the middle of February and no signs
of an exposition this year. Why is
this thus? Is it because the manu
facturers of Lincoln have concluded
that the trouble and expense is more
than the results warrant f We . can
hardly believe that, v
The editor of this newspaper had
some part in the original exposition
and was proud of the results. He be
lieves that such an exposition should
be made a yearly feature, and he be
lieves the Commercial Club the proper
body to handle it. There is no 'pos
sibility of Lincoln people knowing
too much about the industries of this
city. Comparatively few of our citi
zens have any adequate conception of
the immensity of Lincoln's manu
facturing enterprises. True, we have
no exceptionally big industries, but
we have a lot of little ones, all of
wMch t combine to make this ' an in
dustrial center. We ought to be proud
of them. We ought to be giving them
better support. We ought to be help
ing them to enlarge their volume of
business. Every dollar spent with
home manufacturers is a dollar kept
within our own reach. Every indus
try established and made prosperous
in Lincoln means more citizens, better
homes, better times. ' '
Will Maupin's Weekly is in favor
of making the "Made in Lincoln Ex
position" an annual feature.
About the funniest thing we.'ve
heard is the charge of a Nebraska
newspaper that -Nebraska state war
rants were registered becaues- the
state adopted the bank guarantee law.
We thought warrants had to be reg
istered because the state enacted a
stallion and jack registration law.
- Strange as it may seem, the fur in
dustry in Nebraska is a big j. ,one,
amounting to about a quarter of a
million dollars a year. The Lincoln
Tannery is one of the biggest institu
tions of its kind in the country,: but
the people of Lincoln do not seem to
appreciate the fact as they should.
The suggestion of Will Maupin's
Weekly that Nebraska begin now to
make preparations ' for properly cele
brating her semi-centennial is already
bearing fruit. It's a big idea,-and
if carried out along the right fines
will mean millions to Nebraska.
After mature consideration we "have,
decided that there is but one solution
of Lincoln's traction problem. We
must have a spur track built to every
man's door, with a special car ready
for his service at all hours of the day
and night.
Get busy now and prepare to help
advertise Nebraska by writing to the
folks down east on March 1, telling
them what a bully young state we
have here. That date is Nebraska's
forty-fifth anniversary as a state. -
Nebraska hens laid 101,000 miles of
eggs in 1911. And in spite of that
hen fruit has been selling at 40 cents
the dozen of late. They'll have to in
crease the output a few thousand
miles this year.
The indications now are that in a
short time Mr. John O. Yeiser of
Omaha will be' able to strike an atti
tude and exclaim in a loud tone of
voice, "I told you so "
Mr. Roosevelt's silence on the nom
ination question is much more con
vincing than some of his utterances
on other questions..
If we owned Nebraska's 1911 hay
crop we wouldn't trade it for the. na
tion's 1911 output of iron ore.
March 1 should he "Nebraska Day,"
and duly celebrated . in every public
school room in Nebraska. . , ,

We stop .the press to inform the
shrewd officeseeker that the best meth
od of getting his .candidacy before the
people who do things is to announce
it in Will Maupin's Weekly. Also to
announce that this print shop does 'a

ing that is done anywhere.
Shallenberger and Thompson- for

Brown and Norris for senator on the
republican ticket well, it looks good
anyhow, no matter which way it goes.
Well take a lot more interest in the
primaries just as soon! as the seed
corn problem is off our hands. Just
now we are more interested in the
corn crop than in the candidate crop.!
The primary ballot that will be
handed to you on April 19 will be as
long as a roll of wallpaper, and about
as handy to handle. 1

FOR MEN ONLY. ,
In the future, the Globe Hotel will
be conducted as a hotel for men only.
No lady guests, whether married or
single, will be received. Of the 153
rooms in the hotel 112 are now occu
pied by men who have lived here regu
larly for from one week to a year.
The transient trade requires the great
er part of the remaining rooms, but
men desiring clean, quiet and comfort
able rooms with all modern conven
iences at from $2.00 to $3.00 per week
are invited to call or telephone Auto

candidates for the office, but Aldrich
seems to have a walkaway. With the
democrats, it is different, all three
are well known and in the race to
win. Morehead and Pool have been
before the people as candidates or offi
cials and ihave given satisfaction to
their friends, while Metcalfe has never
held office, yet is probably as 'well,
known in the state as any' of the
candidates on either side. It will be
a pretty race and no sore spots will be
left on the defeated candidates. They
are making their fight now and will
gracefully submit to the decision of
the voters at the primary in April.

Wll Maupin's Weekly thinks it is
more important that we test our seed
corn than that we test our candi
dates. No joke. There will be some
thing to eat, no matter who is elected,
but without corn, Nebraska is in bad
shape. Test your seed corn. Fair
