PUNS FOR LABOR "TEMPLE

Dellars Deelg-ned.
Omaha will have a S100.no labor temple
within five years snd possibly within three
Tears and a definite plan ior raising the
money will be outlined and undertaken
within the next two or three months. So
says Charles A. McDonald, director of the
Labor Temple association and ex-president
of Central Labor Vnlon. '
Since their lease xplred on the Kennard
building at Fifteenth and Dodge streets
the labor unions hsva been scattered ail
over town, having been unable to get pos
session of the old State hotel, which they
have leased for ten years. This Incon
venience had opened their eyes to the keen
necessity for a building of their own. says
Mr. McDonald, and those unions which
have always held bsrk before are now
ready to take action toward the erection of
a temple.
The Labor Temple association now has
but a few thousand dollars In Its treasury,
snd so most of the tlOO.tXO or $!I5',0u) it is
proposed to put Into x temple Is still to be
secured. Two plans for raising the money
are under discussion and it ia probable both
will be adopted. One ia to sell stock to the
members of tne various unions and the
other la to call on the unions all over the
country for subscriptions.
"In Omaha are about I.ono union men."
aaid Mr. McDonald. "If each one would
take C of stock In 1M and S3 In 1. we
would have JSO.000 from Omaha alone at the
end of two years. Then we ought to get
tii.OJO to tyi.&O from outside unions by a
plan which has met with success else
where, especially In Los Ar.geles snd San
Francisco. The unions In these two towns
got subscriptions f rem unions In all parts
of the United States, from the Omaha or
ganizations among the rest. We could do
the same thing.
"Some of the local unions would take
stock tn the building. I am told that the
bricklayers, who sre in the beet financial
circumstances of all the unions, stand ready
to put C.' Into the project. The carpen
ters would also take stock.

Bids which were opened Saturday for the
furnishing of coal to Dnuslas county dis
close the fsct thst the county will hsve to
psy from 10 to 310 per cent more for Its
coal this year than It did lat In spite of
the seven bids which were offered the
prices on almost every material Item has
been Increased. The only Important excep
tion Is hsrd cosl. which will remain at
IS SO a ton, delivered this year as last.
C. B. Havens A Co. are the low bidders
on Cherokee steam coal at C ffl a ton. Last
year the price was CO. The same firm
bid low on Cherokee nut at H.Ot. Last
year It was tlSS. C. W. Hull company
was the lowest bidder on Iowa nut and
Missouri nut at tV13 a ton for each kind.
Last year the county got Iowa nut for
S10S and the Missouri grade for S2 K.
For furnishing the same grade of coal In
carload lots at the County hospital switch,
the price Is somewhat reduced. The Victor
White Coal company bid low on Cherokee
steam at CK. Last year the county paid
11 30. c. B. Havens and E. B. Corrigan
are tied for Cherokee nut at IB 5. The
price last year was 2.M. C W. Hjll com
pany waa low again on Iowa and Missouri
nut at CB. Last year the price of Mis

reduction.

Victor White Coal company Is low on
coal for the indigent poor to be delivered
In ton. half and quarter ton lots anywhere
In the city. For Cherokee nut, their bid
is as follows: Ton, M 70; half ton. 150;
quarter ton, 11 Si. Last year the low bid
for ton lots, C7?; half ton. til?; quarter
ton, tl.S. The low bid for Sheridan lump
waa t50 by the Victor WT:!te company.
Last year the price was tS.75. Trenton lump
and egg anthracite are the only grades
upon which the price has not been boost ed.
For the former the price is still H.S6 and
for hard coal, f?90. both prices Including
delivery to the Detention school. Sunder
land Bros, were low bidders on anthracite
and C. W. Hull company on Trenton lump.
It haa been pointed out that the big
Increase Is on coals mined In Iowa, Kansas
and Wyoming and not on eastern or Penn
sylvania products. The local coal dealers
have always contended the Increase In
prices waa due to advances made by the
eastern mine "owners, especially In the
exse of anthracite.
The bids have not been accepted by the
board yet. but will be taken up at the
meeting Wednesday.
To the Man Who
Wants to Advertise, But
Thinks It Too Expensive
We want to show you why it is not expensive. If we find that advertising can bo
applied to your business, we will prove to you that advertising is not nearly so expensive
as the concessions you must make in forcing an unadvertised article into consumption.
Wi want to tell you about the kind
of advertising that will sell your
goods at a profit and at the
same time add dollar after dollar to the
value of your brands and trade-marks.
We want to show you how to make the
trade come to you instead of you having
to go to the trade.
We want to show you how to gain real
business independence independence
of competition of the trade, trade
deals and combinations.
We want to show you how you can
regulate your selling cost and selling
prices to suit yourself not to suit the
trade salesmen, jobbers, commission
men and retailers.
Don't say that such things are impos
sible in your particular business.
We have met many business men who
have said just that. Today a large per
centage of these men are among our
most successful advertisers and have
accomplished all that we have outlined.
We want to talk to you about your
business. If advertising will be of value
to you, you need us. If we cannot be of
service to you, we will tell you so with
out hesitation.
We want to explain to you how we are
able to eliminate the experimental
waste which is a part of ordinary
advertising campaigns.
We want to show you why we can pre
pare for you better advertisements than
you can possibly prepare for yourself
better in text, in appearance in every
way. Irrespective, mind you, of whether
you use newspapers, farm papers, maga
zines, posters or street cars.
We want to show you why we can place
these advertisements where they will
be most effective and at the right price;
We want to explain how we go still
further than advertisement prepara
tion and space buying in your interest.
We help you harness your advertising
and sales organization into a perfectly
working unit, resulting in your being
able to open up the maximum number
of accounts at a minimum of selling
cost, and secure the proper " repeat H

We want to show mail-order advertisers
how we prove results from every advrr

a dvertising is the profit protector and
the greatest economy you can practice if
properly done and thoroughly utilized.

attended the burial of Midshipman James

whose desth resulted from the powder ex

shipman Cruse was the son of Major and
Mrs. Cruse.
"We feel grateful for the many expres
sions of condolence from our Omaha
frienda," aald Major Cruse, "and for the
kindly manner In which our bereavement
has been hsndled by the Omaha papers
It may be Interesting to our Omaha friends
to know that James' death was not the
result of burns received by the explosion,
but from inhaling th gases generated by
; the explosion. True, he was burned badly
j about the face and hands and lower limbs,
j but his eyes were not Injured. He wore's
(heavy sweater during the target practice
and It was this that protected him from
fatal bums. He could hsve escaped by
climbing out of the turret, as did one or
two of the men, but they had been drilled
to us- the water for cases of explosion that
were likely to occur In such emergencies In

water on from the hose and succeeded In
turning It about two-thirds on. Jle was

"One of the midshipmen fell prone to the
floor and got some fresh sir through sn
opening In the lower part of the turret
and thus escsped desth. The death of
young George Miller was fully as heroic
as the press reports indicate. At the
sscriflce of his own life he closed the
breech ef the big gun from which the
powder bag was' protruding and had he
not done so, not a man In the turret would
have survived the explosion.
"When we reached Boston, we fo-ind
James very hopeful and he recognlxed me
readily. He asked how long a leave I had
and then jokingly remarked that he guessed
he would have to get a leave too. I told
Mm that had all been arranged and that
he was going to have a leave of three
months. He thought that would be too
long. He was hopeful to the last. We were
Informed by the physicians In chsrge that
his case waa hopeless, but hoped that pos
sibly his strong constitution would bring
him through. But the poisonous gaaes he
had Inhaled were like strychnine and his
death was really only a question of a few
days."

"By next winter there probably will be

"Not one American ship is running acr-isi

Do you approve of the policy which
crowds our Pacific with battleships and ig
nores entirely our merchant ships? Of
what avail will the mastery of the Pacific
be to us if Japan dominates the shipping
snd monopolises the commerce of that
mightiest of oceans?
