EDITORS OUT FOR A GOOD TIME Spend Few Honrs Talking; Shop and Many Seeklna Kin, Coming here with the avowed Intention of making the summer meeting as much of a holiday as possible and avoid talking "shop," the membera of the Western low:t Editorial association held but one brief session yesterday and that In the afternoon. The balance of the day was devoted to enjoying the attractions of the street fair and carnival and witnessing the road build ing demonstrations In the south part of the city. Owing to the fact that several members were late In arriving, the morning session was dispensed with, although a -few gath ered at the public library building and discussed the rise In prices of paper and other material used In newspaper and print ing offices. While prices of material and the cost of labor have Increased, but few of the country publishers have had the nerve to raise the price of their weekly papers from $1 a" year. At the afternoon, session, which was pre sided over by the veteran editor, J. C. Mc Cabe of the Logan Observer, officers for the ensuing year were efected as follows: President W. P. Wortman, Malvern Leader. Vice Prealdent H. C. Ford, Woodbine Twiner. Secretary and Treaaurer E. A. Stevens, p,. Silver City Times. committee w. C. Campbell. Harlan Tribune; H E. Lewie, Atlantic Farmer; L. W. White, Woodbine Met aenger. In his annual address President McCabe spoke of the outlook for the country editor and publisher. The conditions In the news paper world, he aald. were not as good aa la other lines of business, for the reason that while the cost of living and the cost of material had materially Increased, the publisher was unable to get any more tor hla product than bvfora. W. C. McCUntock of the Tabor Beacon read a paper on "How to Buy Job and Other Stock to Advantage," and Carl V. Kuehnle of Denlson, banker, attorney and business partner of Hon. Leslie M. Shaw, former secretary of the treasury, addressed the meeting on Invitation.- He paid the country editor a high tribute and aald he was deserving of mora recompense for his labor and brains than he received. Ha urged the members to meet the Increased jooat of living by raising the price of their papers, as they were entitled to get out of their papers the same relative amount as they did before prices soared In the height they now are. He thought the coun try editors worked too hard, but said they could console themselves by knowing that the country' lawyer had to do likewise. The following resolution was adopted: Be It resolved. That we request our con gressman to favor the discontinuance of the government printing of envelopes and other supplies In direct competition with the legitimate printing business of the country. A motion to the effect that the associa tion ry the expenses of the mebers at tending the meetings prevailed. Secretary MacDonald extended the asso ciation an Invitation to witness the road building demonstration and the same was accepted. It was decided to hold the next meeting In February. It will likely be held In this city. Those In attendance were: J. C. McCabe, IOgsn Observer; J. R. Graham, Malvern Southwest lowan; F. M. Beymer. Avoca Journal-Herald; W. C.

F9.5 In 1905, and 81 for the ten year average -ndlng September, 1908. A condition of 80.8 on the government acreage of 99ti.C99,000 acres Indicates a crop of be tween Z.500,000.000 and 2,0i.OCV,000 bushels, which Is a considerable reduction from the bumper yield of 1. 927,418.000 bushels last year.

PROTEST ON SHEEP RATES Brought About by Abolition of Feed ing in Transit Privilege. BIG THING FOR OMAHA MARKET Three-Qnarters of a Million to Million Head Broaght Yearly for Ship ment to the lovra Feed Yards. (From a Staff Correspondent.) PES MOINES, Sept. 7.-(Spec!al.)-The Corn Belt Meat Producers' association will ask the Iowa Railroad commission to lower the freight rates on sheep. When the com mission heard the complaint of the asso ciation last winter on llvo stock rates the only rate really touched was that on cat tle. The association did not press the mat ter of the rate on sheep because the rail roads at that time, while charging a high rate, were allowing the farmers to "feed In transit." They could ship the sheep Into the state to their farms, feed them and then ship to market, all for one rate. Now, however, the railroads have with drawn this privilege and, In addition to charging the old high rate, the shipper must pay two short rate charges, the sum of which Is greater than the old single rate. This boosts the rate on sheep "out of sight."
