Nebraska-
ERLE SMILEY WINS
ON CHICKEN RANCH
Tonng: Seward County Man
Makes Success of Effort to
Raise Good Ones.
MADE START WITH PIGEON
Brief City News
(Prom a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Aug. 20,3- (Special.)
Not all who engage in the chicken
industry make good. Numbers come
out of it on the red ink side of the
ledger, but to the man or boy who
goes 'at it in the right way success
is almost sure to follow. Nebraska
has many of these, and none have
had more success in the short time
they have been engaged in it than
Erie Smiley.
Who among vou have heard of
Erie Smiley? Welt, not many. The
upoji him unawares. You have not
heard of Erie Smiley for two reasons
in particular: first, because he is very
much of a youngster, and second.
because the business in which he is
engaged is limited to a compartively
lew people.
Started Early.
Mr. Smiley lives in a garden spot
of Seward county, a few miles above
Beaver Crossing, where conditions
are ideal for his business. Erie is
a chicken fancier only twenty-five
years old, "but he has been interested
in birds almost all nis lite, wnen in
his teens he became interested in
pigeons, and from this he began his
study. He made a little money, with
the emphasis on the "little," and then
branched out into large game, spend
ing all he could get mostly for ex
perience and learning how. In his
own words. "I was for several years
just plugging along and getting my
experience. Two years ago I was not
worth $100. I am now up to the
game and believe I can got; along.
Many of my neighbors laughed at
me and said I would go broke. Well,
I have not gone broke yet."
Strange it is, and worthy of note,
that visions and unusual purpose are
sure failures in the eyes ot fhe on
looker!. Erie Finally Won.
- Well, Erie Smiley won out; his
flock contains one hundred and six
varieties, and the plant is worth
from $6,000 to $7,000, and he's just
getting his hand in. trie and his
show season of 1915, including thir
teen silver trophies. At the Panama
Exposition, San Francisco, his show
took ten firsts, two seconds, one
third, one fourth, and two champion
ships. Only sixteen birds were en
tered. Erie's pens on this Nebraska
farm conain many famous birds,
among them are several Madison
' Sauare winners. Although just
boy, Mr. Smiley has studied every
nhacf nf his hiisineca: he is an exDert
on hereditary laws and knows how
to mate inorder to produce desired
results. Mating for effects, marks,
color schemes, laying, etc., he has
down to a science.
To the writer's mind, unskilled in
the business, his simple, but definite
little lecture on chickens and chicken
raising as he went about the pens
was instructive and impressive.
When one of his little game ban
tams was tapped gently under the
beak, he streched up tall and slim
with all the intelligence of a child,
and stood there to be admired
" Still is Amibtious.
He is ambitious to extend his flock
to include the full one hnudred and
forty-eight varieties of birds. He has
sought the best, not only in our own
country, but in Canada and England.
He knows everyone of liis twelve
hundred birds, and is on laminar
terms with them. He handles them
with care and freedom, and they have
confidence m him.
Erleis the youngest licensed poul
try judge in America. He has stud
ied under the best experts in the
country and absorbed a vast amount
of bird by intimate association. He
speaks the language of all of the one
hundred and six varieties in his
pens. It is a rate sight to. see this
young birdman among his pets. He
has demonstrated that purposeful, in
telligent effort has sure reward.

The movement for a central clearing
house for retail credit information
from all over the United States,
which has been gaining ground dur
ing the last few months in the Na
tional Retail Credit Men's association,
is now breaking up into several move
ments for several such central bu
reaus. By the time the matter comes
up before the convention of this body,
which is to open at the Fontenclle
hotel Monday for a three days' ses
sion, it is likely there will be a strong
faction favoring the establishment of
at least four or five such bureaus, cov
ering credit information by districts
in the United Mates, instead 01 try
ing to center all the information in
a cumbersome filing system in one
office for the entire United States.
Once there was talk of organizing
the central bureau for the entire
country, where all subordinate or
local bureaus would report their
cases, to be kept on file. Omaha was
then annken of as the centrally' 10
cated city in which such a bureau
could most logically be located.
Now rnmes the St. Louis delegation
to this national convention, hot for
the location of such a central bureau
in St. LouM.
On ton of this comes the suggestion
from some that it will never do at
all to have one central bureau, but
that it will be much more practicaoie
to have at least five of them, cover
ing their respective territories. Thus
it is suggested one such bureau be
located in New York City, covering
the east and southeast. Another
could be located in Pittsburgh, cov
ering Pennsylvania, Ohio, and per
haps a few other states. Still an
other could be located in Chicago,
covering the large tributaryterritory
of Chicago. One should be located
at Omaha, covering tne towns ano
cities of the central west, it is pointed
out, and then one at San Francisco,
to cover the western states and the
coast country.
At the present time retailers must
constantly write to scores of towns
and cities for information as to the
credit standing of persons who have
recently come from those cities. Un
der the system of maintaining a cen
tral, or several central exchanges,
they could write to the exchange cov
ering the district from which these
cases come. The information would
come back promptly, and thus . a sin
gle letter would bring the information
it formerly took fifty letters to get.
The convention is to open at 10
o'clock in the Fpntenelle hotel Mon
day morning. David J. Woodlock of
St. Louis is president He is the man
in whose mind the idea of a central
credit information exchange first De
em to take shaoe.
E. A. Howell of Denver, secretary
nf the national association, arrived
Saturday and established headquarters
at the Fontenelle.
A full program of business has been
arranged, and Omaha is seeing to it
that the men do'' not get lonesome
while they are here.
CHINA PROTESTING
ENTRY Of JAPANESE
Sending of Two Thousand Sol
diers Into Mongolia May
Result in Trouble.
WASHINGTON INTERESTED
Washington, Aug. 19. China has
protested to Japan, it was learned
here today, against the sending of
2,000 troops to Cheng Cliia Tung, in
eastern Mongolia, because of a recent
disturbance there, resulting in a clash
between Chinese and Japanese troops.
It is contended by the Peking gov
ernment that when the local Chinese
magistrate ordered precautions taken
against an execte6 raid oy nomadic
bandits who were seizing prominent
persons in that section tor ransom,
some of the Japanese residents re
fused to obey. The magistrate at
temDted to enforce the order by ar
resting a Japanese, it is said, where
upon the Japanese began armed re
sistence. which resulted in about sev
enteen deaths dn both sides. The Jap
anese captured the magistrate and
took him away.
It Is Up to China.
The TaDanese are said to have re.
ceived reinforcements from their
near-by garrisons in South Manchu
ria, and reports from Tokio say a
regiment of cavalry, three battalions
of infantry and a mtxed company with
machine guns have been dispatched -to
the city. China sent a protest, and
the whole situation was discussed Fri
day by the Japanese cabinet, which
announced that its attitude would de
pend on the attitude and co-operation
of China.
Chinese legation officials said todav
they did. not anticipate any serious
development, though the racial hostil
ity between the two lower classes in
that section makes such occurrences
dangerous. It was recalled that the
trouble in Nanking, in 1913, and just
outside Peking, a little later, were sat
isfactorily adjusted after diplomatic
discussion. State department officials
have not been officially advised of the
situation, but are interested in its pos
sible eventualities.

ID-TIERS APPLY
FOR DRIVING JOBS
Some Want to Drive the Ox
Teams and Some the Old-
Fashioned Stage Coach.
LIGHTS ARE TO BE UNIQUE
If Yuba Bill, celebrated stage driver
of Bret Harte's California yarns, were
still living somewhere in Red Dog
Canyon, Yuba Bill would undoubtedly
apply for a job driving a stage col h
the historical parade that is to be
seen in Omaha in October, during the
Ak-Sar-Ben festivities.
For most of the living stage drivers
celebrated a quarter or a half century
ago a're applying for such iobs. Some
how, these fellows trom tne sage
brush and the gulcUes have learned
that Samson wants 'the real thing in
this parade. They have learned that
he wants real stage drivers, wno are
unhappy in anything but cowhide
bocts, who wear long mustaches, and
who can spit tobacco on he lead
mule's ear at every jump in the trail.
So they have begun to write letters
and ask for a job. It will be only a
one day job, but Samson probably will
make it worth their wnue tor me
day, as he wants the parade to have
as much of the realistic as possible.
Ox Driven, Tod.
Then. too. the old-time, ox drivers
are writing letters in. Some of them
are written in spelling that is scarcely
revised ane ma ot the twentieth cen
tury, but Samson manages to make
out that they want a job driving the
ox teams that will appear drawing the
prairie schooners in the big parade.
Uther letters are trom persons wno
want to know more about the fall fes
tival. Some are planning to come clear
across the continent to see the fall
festivities and they want to know the
details, clear from the historic parade
to the grand ball, from the diving girls
to the electrical pageant, trom tne
manufacturers' parade to the Follies
of Life at the jubilee grounds.
' Governors in Light. .
The faces of the nineteen governors
of Nebraska to date are to be seen
in colored electric lights in the middle

The Omaha Electric Lieht company
is designing these. A huge square of

middle of the intersection in the
streets. In this square will be worked
out in colored light bulbs the faces of

steel train for the purpose, and be the pion
eer in the great educational plan.
The Baltimore ft Ohio Railroad, whose
lines reach cities and towns covering more
than seventy-five million people, trans
ported the great train of twelve steel cars,
comprising the "Government Safety-First
Special" , to as many of the cities and towns
on its lines as was possible; helping the
Government in every way to tell the people
what the Government means and what it
is doing for them.
1 The train is now doing missionary work
on other lines. J
If the Baltimore & Ohio can serve the Government in this important capac
ity it surely can serve you. Investigate its modem train service foryourielf.
