The Newspaper Tops The List
Alfred G. Peterson, who is president of the National Savings and
Loan League, has this to say about advertising: “I feel that adver
tising is a very profitable investment. But we should not buy adver
tising blindly. We should give careful consideration both to the ap
peals and the media we use.
“The medium which tops the list is the medium that reaches the
greatest number of people at the lowest cost. It is my opinion the
newspaper is that medium. I place the newspaper at the top of the
list because it reaches the local market. All of us are really con
ducting local businesses. We may be bound together into a national
industry, but our spheres of influence are entirely local.
“The newspaper reaches precisely the people we want to reach.”
• Well spoken, Mr. Peterson!
By-Products Are Important
Everyone has heard the old saying that the meat packers “save
all of the pig but the squeal.” That’s just about literally true. All
manner of non-edible by-products are processed and sold. The re
venue they bring to the packers helps give producers a better price
for their livestock, and consumers a lower price for their meat.
Any change in the by-product market situation, as a result, is an
important matter. That has happened in the case of hides. Over re
cent years their value has sharply declined - - and this has had a tre
mendous effect on the price packers could afford to pay for steers.
A spokesman for a packing company described what has happen
ed. In 1910 the price of steer hides amounted to about 13 y2 per cent
of the steer. In 1954, the hide’s value was down to about three per
cent of the live cost. In addition, the handling costs have gone up - -
labor and salt has expanded without a corresponding increase in dom
estic demand for leather, and this too has resulted in downward pres
sure on prices. The only bright spot has been an increase in the
sale of hides abroad.
The spokesman then urged a three-way approach to the problem.
First, is research in all phases of the hide and leather industry, dir
ected toward improving the quality of the product and finding new
uses for it. Second, is increased advertising and promotion to acquaint
consumers with the superior value of leather for many uses. Third,
is to modernize the methods of handling hides. This, it is hoped,
would materially change the picture for the better.
Job For The States
The Chamber of Commerce of the United States finds that
“states and local communities can better provide for their school
needs than the federal government can.”
The reason for that is that the Federal government has a back
breaking debt and is running in the red, while most of the states are
' well in the black. As of a comparatively recent date, the 48 states
had $15,250,000,000 in cash and security holdings against less than
$8,000,000,000 of outstanding debt.
It’s high time that federal hand-outs to the states for schools or
any other purpose were reduced - - not increased. And it’s beyond
argument that federal fiscal problems will never be solved until there
is a resurgence of the traditional American idea that local people and
local government should take care of local needs.
How It Happened
Dorothy Thompson recently listed the factors that have resulted
in America’s gigantic production and consumption in one king-sized
sentence: “Great national resources, scientific ingenuity, managerial
know-how that has concentrated on mass production at high wages
and low profits per unit of production insuring a high level of mass
purchasing power, an internal market of continental proportions, mer
chandising skills that constantly stimulate new demands and foster
rapid turnover, high rewards for individuals possessing outstanding
managerial capacities, and government policies aimed at keeping this
dynamism operating in some sort of equilibrium between inflation
and deflation.”
The American factory, the American farm, and the American
retail outlet have no superiors on earth.

News From Around Nebraska
Not much has been heard lately about the “Save the Trains’’
movement which has gone on out O’Neill and Valentine way.
However, a meeting of the Trains organization was held at Ains
worth last week. It was revealed at that time that revenue for
the trains had increased 43%. In addition to that, the opera
ting expenses of the line had been reduced approximately $30,000
per year by the passage of a new law by the State Legislature
which permitted the elimination of part of the train crew. The
extra men were termed “superfluous”.
Whether these two improvements will be sufficient to hold
the continued interest of the Chicago & Northwestern is not yet
known but it, at least, proves that there is business for trains in
that region if patronage is properly solicited.

The City of Ord is getting all worked up about junk yards
within its city limits. It seems that the Union Pacific has rented
parts of its right-of-way to several Ord men for use as a junk
yard, auto wrecking yards etc. Recently the Grand Island Inde
pendent ran some pictures of the unsightly view which greeted
train riders coming into the Ord community.
The Ord folks didn’t like the publicity so the City has filed
suit asking the men to cease operating the junk yards and ask
ing the Union Pacific to cease renting them the ground.
Ord is but one of many communities which are beginning to
look questionably at the presence of junk yards and auto grave
ydhis within sight of general traffic.

The Fairbury Journal revealed last week that the communi
ty’s utilities earned over $100,000 profit in the past year. The
city light department made a profit of $102,000 and the water
department added nearly $12,000 to the profit column.
Earnings of the electric department increased $18,000 over
the previous year, but the water department made $8,000 less
this year than it did last.
Fairbury has on hand $130,000 which can be used for pur
chasing new equipment when needed.
Crete Js jubilant this week over the signing of a contract
with the Formfit Company of Chicago which has indicated that
it will establish one of its manufacturing plants there. The
Formfit Company, makers of brassieres and other foundation gar
ments, are nationally known and have eight other factories.
The finest of the company’s machines arrived in Crete Tues
day and the plant will operate in temporary quarters for a time
while the supply of labor is being analyzed and trained. Later,
if everything goes well, a new, air-conditioned factory building
will be erected. The plant will eventually hire 200 women and
the annual payroll will amount to about $400,000, the Crete News
stated last week. Considering that “fresh” money turns over
several times before it leaves town, the Crete Chamber of Com
merce has figured out that the presence of the factory will mean
$2,000,000 of fresh-money business per year.

now has 161 irrigation wells operating. 25 of these wells are

Pump irrigation is growing rapidly in use. Hamilton Coun

method of applying the water this year seems to be the sprinkler
system.

"QUEEN OF CAKES"
Among the pleasantest, of our
childhood memories is the enjoy
ment we experienced when we
bit into a moist tender slice of
angel food cake. Of course, in
those days it was served only on
extra-special occasions for it was
no simple recipe to prepare. Sep
arating the eggs, measuring and
sifting the dry ingredients, etc.
were not only tedious tasks, but
in addition you couldn’t be sure
that the finished cake would be
light and fluffy.
Now, we can just take a package
of angel food mix from our pan
try shelf and turn out a glorious
rendition of grandmother’s very
best angel food cake in only a few
moments. For the fun of it, time
yourself while preparing this mix
for the oven, and then count your
blessings in this modern age.
The mix is complete in itself—
a perfect blend of a famous downy
textured cake flour, sugar and
processed egg whites to which you
need add only water. The result?
A heavenly light and high dream
of a cake!
Serve with a delectable Marbled
Whipped Cream, or plain, for cal
orie counters.

In Future *
“The World of Tomorrow—
What Will It Be Like?” That’s
the title of a new publication by
United States, but it’s a facinat
ing question too.
Like the popular songwriter
said, “There’ll be some changes
maae.
One of these changes, perhaps
the most important, will be in the
size of the population. If recent
trends continue, the Chamber
predicts, our people may increase
by 25 million during the next ten
years, and possibly by 56 million
in the next twenty.
iCan we feed them all?
Yes. but the job will bring more
than a few changes to American
farms with their dwindling labor
supplies. Tomorrow’s farmer,
says the Chamber, will likely be
a big business man with a highly
mechanized “factory” turning
out more food and fibre with less
labor. Like today’s manufactur
ing plant, tomorrow’s farm will
need larger and larger amounts
of capital and equipment to in
crease productivity.
Behind the mechanized farm
and city factory alike, the Cham
ber says, will be phenomenal new
sources of power—the atom, new

perhaps even new uses for the

thus be j cheaper and much more

Electric robot machines to mow

says the Chamber.
And what about that great

the Chamber, may stretch it to

How About
Immunization?

Diphtheria, Tetanun, Whooping
Cough, and Smallpox? Parents
should assume responsibility for
the use of these protections which
immunizations can give their
families.
Multiple combined vaccines are
now being used safely against
diphtheria, tetanus and whooping
cough starting at three months of
age.
Diphtheria will not be conquer

their chidren must be safeguarded
