Interesting Report
The following In tho report of tlio
meeting of tlio secretaries of the vnrl
uos Commercial Clubs of the htate,
which wn held at Lincoln in May
Tho report whs furnished by Secretary
Frank.Cowdcn, of the lied Cloud Com
mercial Club, and read before that
organization lit nh open meeting the
latter part of May, and which for lack
of space we were unable to publish
last week: '
Mr. President and Members of the
Chamber of Comnieicu of Red Cloud
(icntlomen:
As your secretary aud delegate to
the annual convention of the NubrMhka
State Association of Commercial Clubs,
1 beg leave to make the following re
port: 'J ho convention met in Lincoln at
the rooms of the Lincoln Commercial
club, Wednesday and Thursday, May
fi and 0. About seventy-five towns
were represented.
Thellist session was called to order
on Wednesday at 2 p. in. by Mr. lloss
L. Hammond, the stato president, Mr.
Wlllard F. llalley of Kcauiey U stato
fcecretHry. After an address of wel
come by Homer K, liurkett, prctiitleiit
of tlio Lincoln club, the regular busi
ness of the meeting began, the first
buslness'ou the program being tlio roll
call of secret arks and representatives
of tlio di lie re nt. clubs from the cities
from orer tlio state. The roll call
proved most Interesting to me, and,
although I found on listening to tho
various responses that the lied Cloud
Chamber of Commerco was right In
lino with most clubs of tho state and
that our Ideas were as progressive, 1
learned that n good many clubs were
putting these Ideas into effect to the
great good and advantago of the cities
they represented. I found the associ
ation composed of n flno, intelligent
class of men, who are conscientiously
working for the upbuilding and ad
vancement of their communities. In
listening to these reports I learned a
good many things that I thought
would be Interesting tq our own mem
bers and citizens generally. One thing
Is certain, and that is tho towns that
are making the greatest advancement
are the towns that have a united set of
business men and good, live commer
cial clubs. It took about four hours
for the roll call, which told of Ne
braska's progress along tlio linos of
public Improvement aud business bet
terment Albion reported a membership of
one hundred and eighty-six, who de
voted almost the ontlre past year to
tho good roads movement. They had
lectures by qualltled peoplo on road
dragging with tho result that the
roads are the best in tho state. They
also diluted prizes of from ten to fifty
dollars for tho best work in dragging
and keeping up the highways.
W. D. Fisher, secretary from Alll
llauce, repotted a membership of two
hundred and eighty-four. This club
has done wonders in advertising Alli
ance, and the secretiuy claimed a
greater advancement in the last five
yeHrs than any town In tho state. Thev
have a graduated scale of dues begin
ning with six dollars per year and go
ing as high as fifty aud seventy-five
dollars per year, and in so mo cases as
high as one hundred aud seventy-five
dollars. This gives tho club a neat
stun to work with aud does away with

any soliciting among business men
during tho year. This money was
spont for good roads, silo tulles and
farm demonstration in order to assist
their local farmers In every way pos
sible, as the country mound Alliance
is not as good as our country aud has
less rainfall. Alliance also maintains
at all times an elaborate agricultural
display at the Hallway Exchange In
Chicago at a very small expense and
claims that this has been a profitable
means of adveitlslng Alliance aud the
surrounding country, hundreds of
letters having been received from
people who have seen the display at
Chicago.
Other towns reported various enter
prises, 6uch as monthly and semi
monthly get-together dinners, good
roads work, supporting a good musical
organization and baching chautaUqua
a8emblles for tho entertainment and
education of their peoplo. Tho secre
tary from Fremont made a splendid
address and told of the wonderful
good accomplished by their credit
Jopartment, boys banquets, home
patronage banquet, parade and free
picture shows for their patrons.
It was really an inspiration to me
and I would be glad if every member
of this club could attend these meet
ings and seo what is possible for Red
Cloud to do and what it could do with
a united effort on the part of our citi
'ens and members of the club. We
arc us fortunately situated as any city
of our size in Nebraska. Wo havo just
as good citizens as any city In Ne
braska, aud we should walte up to our
possibilities and opportunities.
At tile Wednesday evening session
Dr. George li. Coudra of the state
university and Secretary W. It. Mellor
of the stato board of agriuulture di
vided tlio time with two illustrated
lectures:
The following program for the sec
ond day's session began at 10 a. in.:
"The Farmer, the Town and the
Commercial Club" Address by C U '
(lUstafoon of Mead, pi evident Nebraska J
Statu Fanners' Union.
''Co operation of the Kailroads and '
Their l'.itrons" Address by liyion!
Clark of Omaha, solicitor C. li. &, j !
railway
Discussion.
"Co-opeiution In the Department of
Nobiaska Mauufactuilng" lly .1. W
Steinhart, Nebraska City, vice presi
dent Nebraska Manufacturers' Associ
ation. Mr. Oustafson, president of the Ne
braska Statu Fanners' Union, created
an uproar- by declaring that the fai in
crsofthe statu aru tired of having
their altaiis interfered with by the
city people He said: "We object to
their sending out dairy trains and seed
corn specials and farm demonstrators.
If they insist on doing this in the
future we will send city demonstnttois
to tell them how to do their yuptk
The mercbautb and bankers don't
know any more about running their
business than the fanners do about
running tlieiis." When asked .who
started the farm demonstrator busi
ness, the farmer or the business man,
he saiil he didn't care who started it.
"We don't want any more of it What
good does it do the farmer? The
minute you iuciease farm production,
you decrease the ptice paid for that
production We are continually hear
ing tiiat we ought to make two blades
of grass grow where only one grew
before. When wo do that wo only
make conditions worse. It doesn't
improve matteis any to turn our faruis
over to the big laud owners."
The discussion for this progranTwas
to bring out the community plan u
plan to bring the farmers aud business
men ui closer communion and Mr
Oustafson was called on to bring out
the farmers' side of the question. His
speech was very radical aud the asso
ciation got very little comfort out of
his address lie was asked a KieHt
many questions by different members
of the association, who tried to im
press upon him that the intention of
the cities was the best aud thev were
spending their moupy in tin honest
effort to help the condition of the
farmer generally and beuetit the state
as a whole. Mr. Gustafsuu seemed to
take the stand that everything a town
did for the farmers was for selfl-di
purposes only.
Mr. Hi ron Clark made a plea for co
operation betweeu the railioads and
the public. Tho lluiliogtnu, he said,
is doing Its best to give good servict,
but it is seriously haudicupped by the
attitude of railway commissioners,
state legislatures aud so called re
foimers. Mr. Clark claimed that if
the railroads were given a little more
freedom they would succeed in pro
viding better depots, better freight
houses, betcer crossing aud better all
round service.
The afternoon session was given up
to an address by T. N Wetted on "Tho
Trenton Plan " Mr. Wetten is n
Trenton. Mo., business man and hus
made the community plau a special
study, aud is lecturing all oyer the
United States and trying to bring the
towns aud farmers into closer com
munion. Mr Wetten made a great
Impression on the convention, and I
have his speech, which 1 will be glad
to give to any member of the club, or
It can bo lead to the club if they so
desire.
After attending this meeting, I am
sure we ate justified in keeping up
lids splendid organization aud hope
our membership will continue to in
crease, aud believe every live business
man suould be a member and help
build up Red Cloud aud Webster
county There seems tn be a feeling
over tho couutry generally that great
prosperity and wonderful progress is
In store for the United States. All
eyes are turned towards America and
thousands of worthy people are will
ing and anxious to become citizens of
our country. What is lied Cloud Rointr
I to do to got its share of the great
. prosperity when It comes? Tho thing
to do is to auverllso we niive tlie
town, tho location, tho churches, tho
schools and a splondid citl.ousliip to
attract the best classes, Lut's get to
gether, not u'xt week nor next month,
but tonight, right now.

IN ORDER to show
our appreciation of the
patronage we are enjoying,
and to extend our business
the undersigned have inaugu
rated a big, equitable profit
sharing system, which will
be put in effect.
Saturday, June 5, 1915
After which date we will
share our profits
with our cash customers ac
cording to the following plan:
For each ten cents paid us
for cash purchases or cash on
account will give free a ten
cent stamp, to be placed in
a hook whirh w will fn.
nish free. The book has place for $50 worth of stamps. When
the book is filled with stamps you take it to any of our stores
and it will be redeemed for one dollar and twenty-five cents in
cash or one dollar and fifty cents in trade. The, stamps are
interchangeable, that is all stamps which you receive from all
five stores are put in one book which will be redeemed at any
one of these stores.
Next Saturday we will give free to each adult person
who calls at our store and asks for same Off e dollars
worth of stamps.
We know of no fairer proposition to make to our cus
tomers, since this gives a choice of any article in these five
stores at regular prices, and does not force you to take as a
premium something you don't want at an inflated price.
We invite you to call, look at our stocks and ask us any
questions which you desire.
