LINCOLN. Feb. 19.-(Speclnl.) The
troublo which Fred Brodcgaard of Omaha
lias been experiencing In tho last two
months trying to get the blue-sky depart
ment of tho state to allow lilm to Incor
porate the Brodcgaard Jewelry company
of Omaha with A capital of $200,000, has
at last come to an end and Mr. Brodc
gaard will be privileged to Incorporate
and sell the stock of the company when
ho has made changes required by the
railway commission, which has Jurisdic
tion over the blue-sky department of the
state.
Tho hearing this morning convinced tho
members of the railway commission and
Commissioner Reed of the blue-sky de
partment, that Mr. Urodegaard was en
tirely honest In his efforts to Incorporate
and that ho was endeavoring to protect
those who Invested In the stock of tho
company to tho fullest extent.
irowth of llljr UukIiiciib.
' Mr. Urodegaard came to Omaha about
thirty years ago with but $32 in his pocket,
lind Invested In a $500 stock of jewelry
In that city. Since that time his business
has Increased until ho now ownes a busi
ness which covers sixty-five branch
Stores, situated In towns of Nebraska and
Iowa. Tho Omaha store Is a sort of sup
ply 'fibuse from which the branches re
ceive -their goods, and some time ago Mr,
Brodcgaard decided that he would like
to Incorporate the business and run It
something along the plan of tho Wool-
worth 10-cent stores. He concolvcd the
plan of Incorporating In the amount of
$200,000 In stock equally divided between
common and preferred stock. He put in
the present business, which was estimated
to be worth $03,000, and took the balance
of tho preferred stock of $35,000, and $30,004
more of preferred stock. He drew up a
plan in which ho guaranteed to the bal
ance of tho stock of $70,000 7 per cent in
tcrcst, and to secure that amount agreed
to deposit with an Omaha trust company
a large amount of securities to Insure the
holders of tho common stock that they
would bo securo from loss,'
I'lnn in Mlnnudoriitiooil.
"I thought I was a hero," said, Mr,
Brodcgaard to tho commission this morn
ing, "to put up such a guarantee to tho
common stockholders, but it seems that
my plan was misunderstood b ythe com
mission and that j It looked too much like
1 wanted things all my own way, and
while I was entirely honest in my efforts
to protect the common stockholder, I seo
now that I went at it wrong, and I be
lieve the plan which we have Inaugurated
now Is better."
The present plan of Mr. Brodegaard In
In the Incorporation of the Brodcgaard
Jewelry company is to wlthdra.v he
proposition of putting up securities with
a trust company to guarantee the dlvi
donds of 'tho stockholders ana in place
or that he guarantees, the 7 per cent
dividend ana all over that in profits
erocs back into tho business, ths JS5.000
original stock of the company owned by
mm coming in under tho 7 per cent
dividends, but the $63,000 of stock which
lie holds representing tho good will of
tho company cannot come in on tho
dividends of the company until Ruch
time as the assets of the company have
reached the amount of the entire $200,000
capital stock of the company.
Therefore, while Mr. Brodegaard him
self owns $130,000 of the stock of the
Brodegaard Jewelry company, one-hair
, or tnat stock cannot participate In tho
dividends of the company until the total
assets or the company mako the pbr

Farmer Who Observes

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Feb. -(Special.)-' Tho
farmer who uses business methods Is
coming to tho front. Tho other follows
arc being weeded out."
So declared F. A. Sherzlnger of Nelson,
ho is both an editor and n farmer. For
twcnty-flve years ho has been a close
student of agricultural conditions In

After admitting that he was a "crank
on businesslike farmer," Mr. Sherzlnger
continued:
"Men who use their heads mako money
in the farming game and this state can
not be bcaton. Tho shiftless, the iino'o
serving and unprogrcssive are being lost
In the shuffle. This applies to both land
owners and tenants.

price of $20 an aero to $100 and over. It
Is hard to set a limit, for new methods
and new markets and new crops will In
crease values."
Mr. Sherzlnger has taken considerable
Interest In tho Lever bill. Ho believes
that the metropolitan press pays too lit
tle attention to agriculture. Ho also as
serted that tho live, progressive farmors
read tho country weeklies with an In
terest in the reports of agricultural de
velopment In their own neighborhood.

There Is Still Time for You to Decide
You must have n general iden of the characteristics of the
new Encyclopaedia Britannica, for it has been so much used and
quoted and talked about that it is definitely classed as one of
the greatest achievements of our day. But what you probably do
not know is that it is a "different" kind of utility book from any
that has ever been published; different in get-up, different in
contents, different in style, different in method of construction,
different and better suited to your needs in the fact that it was
built for service for your service.
Send for the proipectu today. You will then bo
in a position to settle the roattrr once (or all. Any
argument in favor of waiting until tomorrow is also
an argument in favor of waiting until the price has been
increased In America, as it was In England in December

On Being "Alert"
To be "alert" of mind docs not mean that one must jump to
a conclusion, but that when a conclusion has been formed, one
must be in readiness to give instant effect to it. The word, in
deed, comes from tho old Italian "all' erlal" "Oo to the watch'
iotoerl", the warning which, in the eventful Middle Ages, sent
lookouts to their post to sec when rapid action would be necessary.
The public have ahoxen alertness in recognizing the merits of
the new Encyclopaedia Britannica. Those who arc alert enough
to obtain it now will be just in time to avoid the higher price
which is about to be charged for it. That alertness has already
been displayed by more than fifty-eight thousand purchasers.
A Book for Everybody On Terms
for Everybody
Whether you arc a banker or a bank clerk, a business man
or the mother of a family, whether you use the Britannica as a
question onswerer or for continuous reading, you cannot, in
this day of specialization, escape the need for the specialist's
knowledge which this one book yields. It deals with the
common, everyday knowledge you require in your business and
your home, as fully and as faithfully as with modern science
art, literature, religion, philosophy and history.
The reasonable price of the book and the convenient plan of
paying for it in payments as low as $5.00 per month, have placed
this great efficiency library in the hands of thousands of sub
scribers with incomes of the most modest size.
