concerted effort of the nation to de
feat the depression. The largest
peace-time volunteer army ever as
sembled in the U. S- worked together
in the national drive to enlist every

ment Agreement. Under the direc
tion of 6,500 local committes, a mil
lion and a half volunteers obtained
the signatures of 2300000 employers
to this agreen^ent to increase the
purchasing power of workers by
spreading work, and raising pay.
Nearly sixty million consumers sign

TRIBUTE TO COAL CODE:
J- H. A. Morrow president of the
Pittsburgh Coal Company, credits N
RA with the reviv’l of optimism in the
coal mining business. “Only a year
ago” he told several hundred opera
tors at a recent luncheon “the coal in
dustry was demoralized by competi
tive prices . Operators were not sell
ing coal.. They were selling the wages
of their miners.. . Now nearly all op
erators are endeavoring to find me
thods of increasing cooperation to be
nefit the entire industry” and “the
New Deal seems to be only begin
ning.”
NO COMPLAINTS: The Code
Authority of the manufacturing in
dustry reports that 8536 additional
Workers have been employed since
the codo became operative.. Em
ployees are working 7 hours less per
week and weekly payrolls have in
creased by $22062. Code provisions
calling for equitable adjustments in
the higher wage brackets have been
scrupulously carried out and only 4.7
per cent of the workers are being
paid at the minimum rate establish
ed, although the code would permit
20 per cent to be paid- Despite its
watchfulness, no complaints of code
violations have been received, the
Code Authority oncludes.
IMPROVED CONDITIONS DUE
TO NRA: A. B- Carrington, Pres
ident of the U. S. Tobacco Associa
tion, declares that “the New Deal has
brought renewed faith in our country
and its institutions ■ . and our ewn
tobacco industry has derived a very
large shur. in the general benefits."
The imp: eve men t already under way
in real estate throughout the country
i» being greatly stimulated by the
NRA realty brokerage code, accord
ing to Hugh Potter, President of the
National Association of Real Estate
Boards.—Stockholders of the Balova
Watch Company were told by Arde
Bulova, Chairman, that “the Admini
stration has succeeded in stemming
the steady backward drift of busi
ness. We feel that these gains will
continue and the cooperation of this
'company, as one of the leaders in its
industry, is pledged to the support
of the Government."

AK-SAR-BEN STOCK SHOW
OMAHA, Sept. 15—Omaha’s business
and civic leaders this week plunged
into the biggest activity of the year
—the Seventh Annual Ak-Sar-Ben
Live Stock Show, Horse Show and
Rodeo, which they are determined to
develop as the Mid-West’s Greatest
Show.
This year’s Great Ak-Sar-Ben show
will be held two weeks earlier than
last year opening Sunday matinee
and night, Oictober 28th, and continu
ing through the entire week until the
close Saturday night, November 8.
The Ak-Sar-Ben Show has already
become established as the World’s
Largest 4-H Baby Beef Show, and of
[ ficialg are looking forward to greater
heights for this comparatively new
venture, now only in its seventh year
A campaign has already been launch
ed among Omaha’s business interests
for the subscription fund ’which
makes possible this great show and
it is expected that the response, as
always will be sufficient to demon
strata the importance Omaha attach
es to the development and encourage
ment of the live stock industry from
which Nebraska, and liowa formers
derive 70 per cent af their income.
Ak-Sar-Ben officials are hopeful
that the prize baby beef of this year’s
show will bring a price in line with
last year when the champion sold at
the remarkable price of $1 a pound
His proud owner Jack Anderson of
PilgMr Nebr. received more than|l
000 with which to finish his educa
tion. The priee was nearly twenty
thnea the prevailing quotation for
live stock at that time.
ub line with the program of the
past three (years, Ak-Sar-Ben will
present a beautiful horse show and
an exciting world’s championship
rodeo in conjunction with the stock
show. New entertainment, features
never before sees in this port of the
country, will be introduced, according
to W.. H_ Schellberg arid George
Brands is, co-chairmen of the big en
terprise.
