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

Secretary and Treaaurer E. A. Stevens,

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.

from' more than 1,300 correspondents. It
shows a decline In condition of three points
during August to 80 and compared with
government conditions figures of 90.t Sep

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. Nebraska leads with a declining 19

states showing any Improvement are Mis

In July, aided by favorable weather,
corn mads satisfactory progress, having
gained four polnta during that month. And
the general trend of correspondence was
that with a continuance of good weather
during August the frost danger would be
practically eliminated, but dry and cool
weather during the past month has re
tarded maturity, leaving the plant subject

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." ' The business Is Important, for
there are annually about 750,000 to 1,000,006
sheep shipped Into Iowa, fed and reshlppcd,
and most of these come from Omaha, al
most all of the shipment being thus Inside
the state of Iowa.
The commission last winter ordered that
the cattle rate be cut down about 25 per
cent. Secretary Harry Wallace of the
Corn Belt Meat Producers' association pro
posed to the commission that the Iowa
rate on sheep should be in the same pro
portion to the Iowa rate on cattle that
the Interstate rate on sheep is to the in
terstate rate on rattle. The Interstate rates
are fixed by the railroads a.'.d are there
fore considered as not too low. The old
rate on cattle, the old rate on sheep and
the proposed rates on sheep are given be
low, the present rate on cattle being about
25 per cent less than these ngures
