Of course Nebraska is a great agricultural state one ot the very greatest," and Deputy Labor Com missioner Maupin the other day. Other states may raise a greater number of bushels of corn and wheat and oats, but Nebraska raises more corn, wheat and oats per capita than any other state. In all three of these grains our yield per acre is away yonder ahead ot the general average of all the states. We've got "em all beat in output of hay, wild, timothy and alfalfa. We have every reason to boast of our agricultural resources, but agriculture is no longer our sole dependence. It is the basis of all wealth, to be sure, not only in Ne braska, but everywhere else, but the time has come in the history of Ne braska when we may feel satisfied that our agricultural supremacy is no longer questioned or menaced, and therefore devote some time and atten tion to letting the world know what we are doing along other lines. "We are doing some manufacturing in Nebraska and when we get wise to our opportunities we will do more. In 1908 Nebraska manufacturing plants and industries turned out $151, 000,000 worth of manufactured goods from raw material raised mostly in Nebraska. That was $20,000,000 more than the value of our live stock in 1908. Men engaged in mechanical pursuits, including transportation, re ceived upward ot $20,000,000 in wages in Nebraska in 1908. Ever stop to think what a great variety of articles we manufacture in Nebraska? I'll give you a partial list, and it will help yon form some . idea of our growing im portance as a manufacturing state.' Deputy Labor Commissioner Maupin then fixed up the following list: Automobiles, alfalfa meal, aprons, artificial stone, awnings. Beet sugar, beer, buttons, brooms, baking powder, boots, boxes, brick, breakfast foods, butter, barrels. Carriages, creamery supplies, can dy, caps, crackerjack, cornice, crack ers, canned goods, cigars. Dental supplies, dusters, divans, dressers. Engines marine, locomotive and stationery; electrical supplies, en velopes. , Fire escapes, fences, flour, foundry goods. Gloves, garments, garden tools, gas machines. Harness, hats, hardware novelties. Incubators, isinglass, ice. Jellies, jewelry, job printing, jams. jumpers. Kalsomine, knit goods. Leather goods, loose leaf ledgers, lightning rods, liquors. Machinery, marble goods, mat tresses, mineral waters. Neckwear. Overalls, optical goods. Pickles, pumice stone, paints, paper, patent medicines, mill products, pave ments, planing. Quince preserves (out of real quinces). Rugs, roofing, rubber stamps. Stoves, shoes, shot, Saratoga chips. saddles, shades, signs, soap, sus penders. Trunks, tinware, tags, tools. Underwear, umbrellas. Valises, vinegar. " Whisky, washing machines, wagons. whips, wire goods. Xcellent ice cream In car load lots. Tacht engines, yeast. Zweibach. "Try a new game some evening,' suggests Mr. Maupin. "Just take this list and see how many things you know are made in Nebraska that you can add to it. "We stand at the head of the edu cational column, yet we foolishly ship our raw hides to Massachusetts and buy them back in the shape of shoes, mulcting ourselves for the freight charges both ways and leaving all the wages on the Atlantic coast. Same thing with the millions of pounds of wool annually clipped from the backs of Nebraska sheep. Why not tan Nebraska hides in Nebraska, and make this Nebraska leather into shoes by Nebraska labor in Nebraska factories? Why not do the same thing in regard to wool? Don't whine about not having cheap fuel for power pur poses. Just harness the millions of horse power going to waste in the Missouri. Platte, Loup and Niobrara rivers. All the wheat that is raised in Nebraska and not exported ought to be ground in Nebraska mills, and the Nebraskan who neglects or refuses to insist upon having Nebraska ground flour in the kitchen lacks some of the needful elements of state pride and patriotism. Everything made in Ne braska and put on exhibition anywhere ought to be labeled "Made in -Ne braska.' "When you are not 'standing up for Nebraska you are missing an opportunity to boost yourself as well as your state." A SAFE VEHICLE. Brother Bridwell is going to drive to Lincoln to the State Federation of Labor convention on the water wagon. He has been riding for more than a year. There is room for more on the same wagon. There is a fine view of the surroundings from the top of the wagon. Wallace Norton is one of the late arrivals in town and . is a pas senger on the wagon. Plumbers Note in Omaha Western Laborer. ELECTRICAL WORKERS. Brief Notes About the Men Who Hancflethe Mysterious Juice." The local Brotherhood of Electrical Workers has been called upon to mourn the death of another member. Pat Carrol, who died at St. Eliza beth's hospital Wednesday evening. May 26. Mr. Carrol had been ill for several weeks, and during his illness was cared for by the local union. He leaves a wife. The funeral ser vices had not been determined upon when The Wageworker went to- press. A brother from Iowa was notified and dispositions of the remains- was postponed until he could arrive in Lincoln. The local union hopes to have an organizer in Lincoln before very long. The outside men are in pretty good shape, but the inside men are not so well organized. It is hoped that an organized can effect a bet ter state of affairs. Locally work is pretty good. All the men are at work, and the out look for a busy season was never better.

State Labor t Commissioner Will Maupin of Nebraska has issued a call for a convention to be held at Lincoln, June 21-22, to form a State Federation of Labor. Most working people will be surprised to know that the trade unionists of that otherwise progressive state have lagged so far behind in the militant labor movement. Pueblo, Colo., Review.
