Kizer, superintendent of the local ofTlco of tho Bradstreet's credit agency, delivered an interesting talk before tho Business Organization class yesterday. He stated that the com mercial agency was of comparative recent origin. Previous "to 1840 there had been no systematic attempt to organize a commercial agency. Only haphazard methods were used and but poor results obtained. In 1849, however, J. M. Bradstreot Inaugurated tho System which constitutes the D.xsls of the lator system which has developed Into tho Bradstreot agency. Tho prime work of the agency ha t been to get the commercial ratings all the manufacturing, jobbing, mor cantllo ana Business' coucerii-"Iu the' country. In this -work credit has been qualified by character, capacity and capital. Tho latter'in. .part forma1 tho basis of credit. In this respect tho commercial agency has a world-wide Jnfluenco, inasmuch as it gives infor mation about credit without wjilch nittlo cummorce-could-be-tranBaoted, , Bradstreetls gets Its .JnfQrmatifin usually by sending out traveling re porters Into all the towns about twice a year, who request statements from each firm and colect all information possible. From tills ,tho -agency de termines the .rating of each firm. Those results are published quarterly in large volumes, which are soldTto largo concerns. Tho subscription for two books and 100 special reports Is $123 per year. In the March, 1914, volume there from 90,084 places. As compared with the first printed vojumo of Brad street's, there has been a decided in crease, for then (he 'book contained but 17,100 names, from nine cities. Kosmet Klub Election.

The most successful music festival ever given in the city of Lincoln came to a close Monday with two superb concerts by the Minneapolis Sym phony Orchestra. The Oliver Theater was crowded, to Its full capacity at each performance by an audience which was raised to tho higuest pucn of enthusiasm during many of the numbers.

At the con clusion of tho afternoon program 'they refused to leave the theater until Mr. Oberhoffer had responded to two en cores. Of the evening program the State Journal says: "Tho evening concert was of particular interest .because of Lincoln's .share in the program.
