HAVELOCK AND HER UANY
Havelock, one of the "biggest little" j
cities In Nebraska, and the seat of
the great Burlington shops, was in
corporated in 1893. That was just
jifler the Burlington opened its shops
there. The first organization was that
of a village and Dr.' C. F. Ballard
was made chairman of the village
board of trustees. Hi3 fellow trustees
were George W. Anderson, H. O.
Keppner, Charles Sabenhager and
James Hutchinson. Samuel Hinkle
v. as made clerk " and O. C. Smith
treasurer. Frank Perkins was elected
city marshal. There being' no money
in the treasury it was decided to pay
City Clerk Henkle the limit $150 a
year if the money came in. Then
Treasurer Smith stood up and said
he wanted something, so it was voted
to give him the same salary n the
si' me conditions.
But that was fourteen years ago.
Havelock now has a population of 3,
500 and the treasurer and city clerk
get more salary and they really get
k now. M. H. Woodard is mayor, O.
E. McCutchan chairman of the coun
cil, E. G. Smith treasurer and P. L.
Webster city clerk.
Havelock's first school was in a
building occupied by a "barrel house"
saloon. The school rooms were di
vided by a calico curtain, and pro
motion was simply a matter of sneak
ing under the curtain. Havelock now
has two fine school buildings, modern
in every respect. Six hundred pu
pils attend, and the high school is
one of the first class. Prof. John
Woodard is superintendent. The
school board members are Dr. Ballard,
president; F. B. Young, secretary;
Dan Lucas, P. H. Malone, I. K.
Clemens and Fred Kroehler.
Trs first church was erected by the
Congregationalists in September, 1892,
at a cost of $1,001.03. There are now
four handsome church buildings, Con
gregationalism Christian, Methodist
ond Catholic.
There are two railroads in Have
lock, the Burlington and the Rock Is
land A motor line connects Havelock
with Lincoln, and a 30 minute service
is maintained. There is a promise of
another motor line connecting with
Lincoln with a 5-cent fare, but noth
ing definite has been decided upon.
Havelock's Industries.
Of course the Burlington shops
make the big industry of Havelock The
shops employ upwards of 600 men the
year around, and 75 per cent of the
population are benefitted thereby. The
shops are considered models and are
annually visited by experts- from other
roads for the purpose of getting point
ers on shop construction and manage
ment. The Maizene factory is an import
ant industrial plant. It manufactures
a remarkably nourishing and pleasing
food product in the nature of hominy,
and it is good for any meal in the
day. The company is capitalized for
$10,000 and expects to enlarge to
$25,000 shortly. It has had many flat
tering offers to remove elsewhere, but
it will remain in Havelock because no
better location could be found.
The hemp mills are also important
in Havelock's industrial life It manu
factures tow, and about 1,000 acres of
hemp are cultivated in order to fur
nish the factory with material
Residence Inducements.
Havelock offers splendid induce
ments to wage earners who want to
own their own homes. Sightly resi
dence lots are offered on easy terms
and the social life of the city is such
as to make Havelock a desirable place
to live. During the past year scores
of comfortable cottages have been
built in all directions. It is essentially a
city of home owners, and that means
that it is a quiet and comfortable
place to live, yet having all the ad
vantages of a metropolis.
The library facilities are excellent.
A Carnegie library is the city's pride.
It contains upwards of 1,000 volumes,
and an average of 600 books a month
are circulated. The library cost
$7,000 and is a handsome structure.
It is maintained by the city.
The Commercial Club of the city is
always on the look-out for new indus
tries, and free factory sites will be
given manufacturers wno can show
that they have a good proposition.
The merchants of Havelock are en
terprising, up-to-date , and always
ready to act in concert for the up
building of the city's best interests.
Taken in all Havelock is making his
tory these days, and the Times pub
lished by Frank Lemon, is recording
that history.

Busy Havelock. '
And there are many reasons why
this should be the case.. Business
success comes only as a result of well
directed efforts which merit success.
Since 1892 Mr. Webster has been in
business in Lancaster county. He first
worked for J. B. Trickey & Co., in
Lincoln, and afterwards for O'Neill &
Gardner. In 1901 he set up in business
for himself in Havelock, being the pi-
oneer jeweler and watchmaker in the
city. Slowly but surely and by clean I
business methods he has built up a
fine trade and has the confidence of
the entire community. Small in size
at first his business has been enlarged
from time to time until now he car
ries as complete a line of gold and
silverware, watches, etc., as can be
found in any city of similar size in
the west. In addition he sells cut glass,
fancy china, Edison phonographs and
records and all kinds of musical in
struments, fits glasses and repairs
watches and jewelry. Since 1903 he
has been city clerk. Just now he is
catering to the wants of everybody
who may want the finest of Christ
mas goods at the most reasonaoie
prices.
KNUDSON & HOLMQUIST.
The
Company Operating Havelock's
Largest General Store.
The Knudson & Holmquist Co., has
been established in Havelock less than
one year, but in tbat short time the
company has succeeded in perman
ently establishing a business to bfe
proud of, and which will grow with
the years. Mr. Knudson came to Have
lock from Anaconda, Mont.,, and
brought with him the enterprise and
go-ahead spirit which grows best the
further west you go. He Drought to
Havelock an indomitable energy and
a business ability that enabled him
to take right hold and make things
go. He grasps every new idea that
will push his business and bring him
into closer touch with his ,customers.
Mr. Holmquist was a Lancaster coun
ty farmer for many years and made
a success of that business. He is
making an equal success of the mer
cantile business. The rapid growth
of this establishment is an evidence
of hard work, fair " dealing and enter
prise. It is a general store in fact as
well as in name groceries, furnish
ings, shoes everything that a general
store is. supposed to carry. Knudson &
Holmquist have a large . patronage
from the shop men, and in a city like
Havelock this is a oig business asset.
The managers are heartily in sympa
thy with trades unionism and do not
hesitate to say so.
IS THE COIN COMING SLOW?

The National Association of Manu
facturers levied an assessment of
$1,500,000 on its membership at its
last ' convention. It is now being
noised around in certain circles that
the amount is not forthcoming as
rapidly as contemplated, and much
speculation is being indulged in by
some of those who were to have
charge of it as to whether it will ma
terialize or not. Many of the em
ployers of labor recognize the danger
oi placing so large an amount in the
hands of irresponsible dreamers,
vhose sole aim is to create strife and
breed discontent, ' in order that they
may hold lucrative positions at the
expense of the men who are inter
ested in the welfare of the nation.

SHOWING THE LABEL.
Lyric Theatre Patrons Pleased by
Sight of "Little Joker."
The Allied Printing Trades Council
committee is still hustling. Its latest
coup is to have the allied label shown
on the screen at, the Lyric theatre at
every performance. - "Demand , the.
Union Label on Your Printing," with
the label in the middle of the picture,
is thrown upon the screen, and when
it is shown there Is always goodly ap
plause, evidencing the fact that a lot
of wage-earners and union sympa
thizers are always in the Lyric audi
ences.' Manager Miller readily consented to
throw the picture on the screen, with
out price. He is bothered a lot by
merchants who want to use his cur
tain for pictured advertisements, but
he invariably refuses. "But this Is
different," he said. "Everybody gets
the benefit myself among the num
ber so on she goes."
By the way, the Lyric is offering
some splendid attractions these days
The only vaudeville house in the city,
it is able; to secure the cream of the
vaudeville acts, and the result is al
ways a bill full of clever stunts.
WANT EIGHT HOURS.
Several federal employes in Lin
coln are asking for eight 'hours and
an increase of wages. The engineer
at the postofiice, two firemen, two
watchmen and the elevator conductor
are the one3 preferring the request.
The law already covers their case, but
they have been working ten hours.
The matter has been referred to Washington!

THEN AND NOW.
Children Different Than They Used ts
Be When She Was Young.
"If It were not for my sister-in-law,"
said a young mother, "I could be per-
fectly happy in the bringing up of my -little
girl. Sister-in-law understands
all about 'child nature,' 'and it pains .
her to see me treating my daughter as ,
my mother treated me. She has been
worried to death because I've let the
child believe in Santa . Claus. She
says it's wicked to teach lies, and .
that a child's whole moral being is
undermined when it discovers that its
parents have deceived it. It didn't af
fect me that way, but children were
different in my day. She worked me
up so about it that last week I under
took to explain to Dorothy about Santa
Claus. -
" 'Santa Claus,'" said I, "is merely the
personification' of the Christmas spirit
of generosity and good will.'
" 'Spirit?' asked Dorothy, looking
dazed. ' . '
" 'Yes, said I, 'the Christmas spirit.'
"1 was called away just then, and .
Dorothy was taken off to bed. When
I went in to kiss her goodnight there
lay the child crying softly to herself.
At first she wouldn't tell me what the
trouble was. After long urging, she
sobbed out: '
"Tm 'fraid, I'm 'fraid. You said
Santa Claus was a ghost, and I'm
'fraid he'll come.'
"I sat right down and told her
Santa Claus was a fat little man with
a red face and white 'whiskers. I
wish sister-in-law would let me alone.
I believed in Santa Claus till I was
ten years old."
