live stock men are boosting for a
f country fair at Florenco thlc fait, for
they say that during the last six years
the Douglas county fair has dwindled
Into a small side Issue of the Ak-Sar-Ben
street fair and carnival. Its Identity
has been lost and Its exhibit of grain
and vegetables has attracted little .at
tention. There has been no room for
1 1 .-n ftnlr nr. A . 1 . If 1
live stock thow since 1907, and yet
Douglas county has more htds of high
grade dairy cattle than any other county
In Nebraska. There are also noted herds
of nearly every breed of swine, such
is Poland-Chinas, Duroc-Jerseys, Chester
" Whites, Berkshlres and Hampshlres.
The county appropriates about J4.000
ach year, for a Douglas county fair
and under a new law, passed at the last
session of the legislature, It may be
possible to secure M,000 annually for this
purpose. The wording of the law1 leaves
some room for doubts as to the J8.000,
but the KO0O Is certainly available.
In view of these conditions the farm
ers and stockmen of the county, almost
to a man. are verv much .llsatnififrt with
the present plan of making the county
fair a side Issue of the Ak-Sar-Ben car
nival. They do not condemn the Ak-Sar-Ben
carnival, but they want more room
and more attention given to the county
fair. This subject has been agitated
among the stockmen pretty thoroughly
during the last few days, and It will come
up for discussion at the next regular
meeting of the. Douglas County Agricul
tural Boclety, which will be held In
Dmaha, Juno 21. 'Some of the leading
members nrq in favor of locating the
county fair at Florence. They want to
hold the fair during the week of the Ak-Sar-Ben
parades, but It is apparent that
sufficient space cannot be had In Omaha.
The business men of Florence are bid
ding for the fair. They offer the ball
park containing about four acres of
ground, rent free for a period of five
Kears. They also offer water and lights
free, and will erect a substantial building
for exhibition purposes. They call at
tention to the fact that Florence Is a sub
urb of Omaha, that It Is accessible by
railroad and good drives and that the
street car line from Omaha can easily
take care of a good crowd. They contend
that an old-fashioned county fair will at
tract the farmers and stockmen and will
bring more people to Omaha during t
week of the parades.
A county fair at Florence will not keep
any one away from the Ak-Sar-Ben car
nival, It is contended, and will not take
my trade away from Omaha. On the
other hand It will bring the stockmen to
town and will revive the Interest of Doug
las county farmers In the Douglas county
fair. This plan has tho active support of
the Twentieth Century Farmer and the
Nebraska Farm Journal. Both of these
publications feel that Douglas county Is
not taking the place to which It Is en
titled by reason of the number of herds of
pure bred stock within Its borders. Rep
resentatives of these farm papers spent
some time last week Interviewing stock
men In the county. Every man seen was
heartily In favor of a real county fair.

In lhi I'll tn re.
With prominent members of the board
of trustees of the Child Saving instltuto
who have looked after Its welfare for
years and who have been closely Identi
fied with it. removed from tho city, and
as some of the sponsors have died, there
Is some likelihood thnt tho Instltuto will
bo eventually taken over by tho state
or by tho Christian church. It has been
rumored recently that tho board was
seeking to place tho institute Into the
hands of tho state or some church that
would ngreo to run it In the future,
When approached on this subject, Rome
Miller, president of tho board of trustees,
said:
"Thero has been no effort to got rid of
It to the stato or to nnyouo else, but on
tho other hand overtures have been made
to us both by tho state and by the Chris
tlan church to get the Institution. We
are not seeking to let go of it, but If
cither tho state or the Christian church
can show us to our satisfaction that they
can handle the institute and carry on the
work that wo have carried on there, wo
would probably bo ready to negotiate with
them on the matter."
Mr. Miller said that if the Institution
should go to the stato It would probably
bo handled by the regents of the I'nl
verslty of Nebraska, as It Is an educa
tional Institution, and would properly bo
handled as a branch of the work coming
under tho Jurisdiction of the regents.
The transfer of-tho Institute to the
state or to a church would not menn the
transfer of any money, as this Is a char
itable Institution built nnd established
by a number of chnrltablo persons who
are willing to step our of the responsibil
ity of managing It nt any time. If the
state or some church desires to assume
the responsibility.
Plans to Buy Bluff
Park Are Put on File
City Commissioners at the meeting in
committee of tho whole, recommended
that plans to purchaBo a "Bluff park"
at Fourteenth and BInney streetB, bu
placed on file. This action followed the
filing of protests by about fifty residents
who said they would be unable to pay
part of tho cost of the new park. Several
citizens appeared before the commission
ers to verbally protest. Later, said Po
lice Commissioner Ryder, the matter will
bo taken up again and a second attempt
made to secure tho property, probably
paying for It out of tho park fund If there
Is money In that fund.

A Warm
Mutual I
nsurance
In connection with the Workmen's Compensation law, effective July 17th, several schemes are
being proposed to insure the liability of employers through mutual companies, reciprocal exchanges,
interinsurance and other similar plans.
None of these companies have cash capital or legal
reserve. None yet formed are licensed to operate in this
state. There is no provision in the Nebraska law which will
admit an outside reciprocal or inter-insurance exchange. to
do business in this state. v
There is no limit in amount to the total liability im
posed upon the employer.
Should your insurance company fail, the liability for
compensation benefits reverts to you and you would be
compelled to pay your own losses.
In other words mutual insurance is insurance which
does not insure.
The stock liability companies have a re-insurance
arrangement in effect among themselves, whereby One Mil
lion Dollars is Set Aside as a Catastrophe Reserve, and
this fund is only drawn upon where single losses exceed
$25,000.00. It's a fund which absolutely guarantees the
soundness of insurance when furnished by any of the old line
companies, party to the Re-insurance Bureau.
The only excuse for going into any kind of mutual
scheme is the possible saving in premiums which they prom
ise but what if the plan fails and you have to pay ymur
own losses?
, In other states having a law similar to that of Nebraska,
the rates of the old line companies have been )ow enough so
that employers have net felt it necessary to go into any
unsound schemes for their insurance. The rates for
Nebraska will not be exhorbitant.
We strongly urge our policy-holders to make no agree
ment to join any mutual plan until we have had an oppor-
tunity of explaining fully the difference between stock com- 4
pany and mutual insurance.
We are seeing our customers as rapidly as possible and
will get to see you within a few days.
