C0MMISSIGNEE GUILD PRESIDENT Matters of Great Iutereat to CItlea Are to lie Brought I'p and Given Consideration at Seaaiona. In the field of commercial secretaries, Commissioner : J. M. Guild of the Com mercial c'ub of Omaha occupies a promi nent place." As president of the Central Association of Commercial Secretaries, he will attend the annual convention of that body "at 'the Claypool 'hotel, Indianapolis, September 20 and 21. This is no small organization, as its membership extends throughout the sixteen central states. from Pennsylvania on the east to Colo rado on the west, and from the Canadian border south to the Ohio river. . Within this area is approximately one-half of the population of the United . States. , The honor of. presiding . over the meeting of secretaries from such cities as Chicago, Milwaukee,, Sf. Louis, Minneapolis, Pitts burg, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Kansas Pity,., Denver, . etc., Is therefore no small one. Each state has a vice president,' and W. S. Whitten, secretary of the Lincoln Commercial club holds that office for Nebraska. If any class of men need to get to gether once in a while it Is those who dally attend to the details of town boost ing and city building. In their meetings they talk In their own language and take no action that is binding in any way on the organizations they represent. The conventions of the central association are not for the discussion of current questions, but are experience meetings in the fullest sense of the word. When, In 1909, the need of such a forum became evident, the Omaha Commercial club, on learning of the central association and Its purposes, hesitated not a moment, but authorized , Its commissioner to join It as, a charter member. Since then no Invest ment of the club's money and his time has brought - bigger returns. Acquaint ance . is Invaluable in this line of work ind makes possible many things, that can be handled only between men who -understand each other. One city can gain In formation and pointers from another on request, and aan very often warn each other against some fraud, when acquaint ance and confidence exist between the two. As the result of the central asso ciation It Is not necessary for one or ganization to follow the road of experi ence blindly to some expensive and often fruitless end, if another, member has al ready traveled that way. In their busl'; ness sessions every, man Is an open book to his. i fellow' secretaries. Briefly, ; the purposes of the organization are "to pro mote the, efficiency of Its members In organization work, bring them 'In closer touch with the problems common to all workers in this comparatively new field, and enablo'each secretary to better serve the community in which he resides; to bring its members, through the medium of the annual conventions,' into personal contact with men representing important movements in civic, commercial' and in dustrial development J to help each secre tary, through greater U efficiency and widened experience to avoid experiments that have (j)roveri failures. te broaden ac quaintance 'of its members, foster good- fellowship and advance the standards of the profession In every possible way." Many Nebraakana Attend. What it - would men to have a dozen or more -secretaries of the interior of Nebraska attend the Indianapolis meeting, has been laid before the varies organi zations in the state, and In addition to Mr. Guild, there will go from Nebraska, E.

Towne of the Council '. .Bluffs Commercial club are also expected to attend. Colorado, wlli have three or four, representing Denver, PuebovCoorado Springs, etc ' v The , active membership of the associa tion Is confined to paid secretaries In cities of 25,000 and over, while lesser com munities', hold association membership. All get the same benefit from the meet ings, however, and all have an equal share In the- discussions. - This year's program, Just sent out by Secretary Treasurer C. F.

Fry, ninth of the royal line, is out of a job voluntarily, but Samson grieves not, for these are Samson's busy days, with lnt.s I of Jobs In view for expert hands to .do, and he who buckles to Is as sured of the gra cious favor of the coming king. Mr. Fry hns re signed his position as district manairer of the Booth Fish eries company, closing a record of thirty-three year of service and a quarter of a century as the head of the Omaha branch. Starting with the Booth company as a younpstci In St. Louis In November. 1879. he studlen and worked In every branch of the b:isl J ness from the ground up, and so throujhly mastered the details that he, In May, mi, was pent to Omaha to open and manages the branch here.

When the Booth company wont Into the hands of receivers a few years ago Mr. Fry continued in charge of the Omaha territory, and in one year turned in one-third of the total cash paid to the receivers, a fact which materially expe dited the reorganization of. the company.

FINE G0B0ONSCHANGE HANDS Nebraska Telephone Company Gets Ihem from Independent Offices. SOME CLASS TO FURNITURE Independent Telephone Company , Had Swell Mahogany Drska, Which the Pnrchaaera Are Afraid Of. There will be fine brass cuspidors, and mahogany deBks on the hands of the Nebraska Telephone company as soon as the old plant of the defunct Independent Telephone company ceases to operate in Omaha. It has been the wonder of some of the employes of the Nebraska Tele phone company, since they have had oc casion to step Into the Independent plant, how the new company had the nerve to stock up with the "swell" furniture that was found there when the Bell company bought the plant. "Why, there wore mahogany roll top deaks till you couldn't rest," said one of the Bell people, "and giant brass 'go boons' that must have cost some $15 apiece. These cuspidors were too aris tocratic for us over in' the plant of the Bell company." They Bloke Fine Rack. And' there was no question but that he was right, for some of these fancy brass cuspidors have been hauled over to the Bell plant, where they now adorn the offices as umbrella racks. They swal low up an umbrella nearly to the hilt, and as an umbrella rack makes a tasty ap pearance. ; 'To think anyone over there ever had the temerity to expectorate In one of those costly vessels," exclaim the men of the Bell office now as they stick their three-dollar umbrellas In the polished brass "goboon." Deska Something- Swell. But the mahogany desks are still more costly items in the stock of furniture that adorned the rooms of the Indepen dent Telephone company.' There was practically nothing in the way of wood work in the furniture that was not ma hogany. The Bell telephone peoplo have always had to work on polished quarter sawed oak desks and tables, and while some of them of late have expressed some jealousy of the former employes of the defunct company, none of them have as yet had the nerve to haul over one of the mahogany desks Into the Bell offices for persopal use, although many of the mahogany desks are now Idle. TO INVESTIGATE HIGH COST Board Wants to Know Why County Hospital Costs So Much. INCREASE IN COST IS DOUBLED Maintenance of Hospital for Eight and One-Half Months Usceeda Last Year's Total by Ten Thousand Dollars. Investigation to determine why main tenance of the county hospital has cost sovaral thousand dollars more this year than It cost last year was launched by tho Board of County Commissioners, when a resolution by Commissioner Tom O Connor calling for a comparative state ment of cost for the two years was adopted. All tho commissioners voted for tho resolution. Mr. O'Connor explained that it was Intended as a reflection upon no one, least of all upon Commissioner Best, who Is chairman, of tho county hos pital committee. Mr. O'Connor said he believes the audi tor's report will show that hospital maintenance coBt for the first eight and one half months this year has exceeded the cost for tho same period last year by no.ooo. "Tho board and th people ought to know what the figures are and if the cost is too high we ought to know it and know the cause,' mj that we can remedy it." said Commission O'Connor. Mr. O'Connor also called attention to the fact that the order for monthly re ports of the number of inmates , of the hospital and the Riverside home and tho per capita cost for caring for them is not being observed. A resolution calling for strict compliance with this order In tho future was adopted. NO CHANGE IN MAIN OFFICE Bohemians in Session Decide to Keep Headquarters at Cedar Rapids.
