untry fair at Florence this fall, for
Ahey say that during the last six years
iuio xjuukiub luumy xuir una invmaicu
' ilnto a small side Issue of the Ak-Sar-Ben
uitreet fair and carnival. Its identity
lha been lost and Its exhibit of grain
id vegetables has attracted little at
tention. There has been no room for
Jive stock and no premiums offered .or
ft live stock ehow since 190T. and yet
Kpouglaa county has more htcls of high
Krrade dairy cattle than any other county
In Nebraska. There are also noted herds
, it nearly every breed of swine, such
la Poland-Chinas, Duroc-Jerscys. Chester
Whites, Bcrkshires and Hampshlres.
The county appropriates about J4.000
each .year for a Douglas county fair
and under a new law, passed at tho last
session of the legislature. It may be
possible to secure $8,000 annually for this
! purpose. The wording of the law leaves
some room for doubts as to the $8,000,
but the K000 Is certainly available.
In view of these conditions tho farm-
ers and stockmen of the county, almost
VSto a man, are very much dlssatslflcd with
fl the present plan of making the county
fair a side Issue of tho 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
5 among tho stockmen pretty thoroughly
during the last few days, and It will como
up for discussion at the next regular
meeting of the Douglas County Agricul
tural society, which will be held In
Omaha, Juno 21. 'Some of the leading
members are In favor of locating thp
county fair at Florence. TJjey 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 Florenco are bid
ding for the fair. They offer the ball
park containing about four acres of
rround, rent free for a period of five
rears. They also offer water and lights
free, and will erect a substantial building
for exhibition purposes. They call at
tention to the act 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
lake 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 f
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
iny trade away from Omaha. On tho
other hand It will bring tho stockmen to
town and will revive the Interest of Doug
las county farmers In the Douglas county
fair. This plan has the active support of
the Twentieth Century Farmer and the
Nebraska Farm Journal. Both of these
publications feel that Douglas county Is
not taking tho place to which It Is en
titled by reason of tfie 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 tho county. Every man seen was
heartily In favor of n real county fair.

Child Saving Infirmary May Come
Under Different Management.
EITHER STATE OR CHURCH
Ilouril Will Turn Over Property as
Soon as It In Convinced of It
Hclnir l'rierl' Handled
In the Kntnre,
With prominent members of the board
of trustees of the Child Paving Institute
who have looked after its welfare for
years and who have been closely Identi
fied with It, removed from the city, and
as some of the sponsors have died, there
Is somn likelihood that the Institute will
be eventually taken over by tho stat.
or by the Christian church. It has been
rumored recently that the board was
seeking to place tho institute into the
hands of the state or some church that
would agrco to run It In the future.
When approached on this subject, Romo
Miller, president of tho board of trustees,
said:
"There has been no effort to get rid of
It to the stato or to anyone else, but on
tho other hand overtures have becnmade
to us both by tho state and by the Chris
tian church to get the Institution. We
are not seeking to let go of It, .but If
either tho state or the Christian church
can show us to our satisfaction that they
can handle the Institute 'and carry on tho
work that wo have carried on there, wo
would probably be ready to negotiate with
them on the matter."
Mr. Miller said that If the Institution
should go to the state It would probably
bo handled by the regents of tho Uni
versity of Nebraska, as It Is an educa
tional Institution, and would properly bo
handled ns a branch of tho work coming
under tho Jurisdiction of tho regents.
The transfer of tho Institute to the
state or to a church would not mean the
transfer of any money, as this is a char
itable Institution built nnd established
by a number of charitable persons who
are willing to stop our of tho responsibil
ity of managing It at any time, If tho
stnto or some church desires to nsstimu
the responsibility.
Plans to Buy Bluff
Park Are Put on File
City Commissioners at the meeting In
committee of tho whol?, recommended
that plans to purchase a "Bluff park"
at Fourteenth and BInney streets, be
placed on file. This action followed the
filing of protests by about fifty residents
who said they would be unable to pay
part of the cost of the new park. Several
citizens appeared before the commission
ers to verbally protest. Later, said Po
lice Commissioner Ryder, tho matter will
be taken up again and a second attempt
made to secure the property, probably
paying for it out of the park fund It thcro
Is money In that fund.

Warmn
In connection with the Workmen's Compensation law, effective July 17tt), several schemes are
being proposed to insure the liability of employers through mutual companies, reciprocal exchanges,
interinsurance and other similar plans.
HIHLHLBHHL1BK9HbMILN
Mutual
Insurance
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
dp business in this state.
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 he
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 low enough so
that employers have n&t 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
pany and mutual insurance.
We are seeing'our customers as rapidly as possible and
will get to see' you within a few days.
DO NOTHING UNTIL YOU SEE US!
