llfilt it the altruistic theory -which
ctutOM R- C Howe, general man'
at'Cft? the Armour & Co., packing
planCJn South Omaha, when he or
derc, nd latr sanctioned, the plane
for OUT new office building. The re
sult ft'an office building de luxe, one
of the-beit structure! of its kind in
the world. The completed building
will ;ot w,uw.
Fnah-air insurance for the em'
eloyiscost more than $20,000. The
monej; was spent for the installation
of an-air-washing machine, whose
function is to allow nothing put pure,
atrmUas air in the place. ,. Automat
ically tne , air in eacn room is
changed every twenty minutes. When
wint winds howl, the machine heats
the jrashed air and ships the warm
t)reeaathrough dustless ducts into
Yer"torner of every room. When
the Mitry summer sun aisztet, the
macSlrie just cools the air and sends
tomWng like spring tephyrs to fan
Into -comfort every one of the 180
Offict'tmployes. ''',
And the air il let into each room in
sochjtf manner as to avoid drafts.
Eaclf.-air current is made to play
again t another current and their
meettug place is close to the ceiling.
Whew-the air has filtered through
humin; lungs, it la sucked from the
building through several apertures.
If, by. any mishap, two or three
spectBt'of dust gather on a piece of
ofiics-furniture, the automatic vac
uum illaner immediately whisks them
Into Jftfrnity.

if yo& 'are fortunate enough to have
induced Armour it (Jo., to give you
an office lob. In the basement of the
new building is a garage which can
accommodate a dozen autos, men
if vou feel the need of a shave or a
shower bath, all you have to do is to
go up one Might and get one ana take
the other. The tonsorial parlor is a
miniature of the best that metropoli
tan hotels afford. The shower rooms
are of Italian. marble. Then you may
ao and rest awhile in the big loung
ing room for men, while you puff blue
rings from favorite tobacco. Then,
when, you have sandwiched in some

pleasing morsel, and it will be served
to you in a dining room de luxe. If
it will help your appetite any, you
may also know that the food was
cooked in a kitchen which, on the
word of a Chicago restauranteur, is
the best equipped of its size in the
country. Nearly, every bit of kitchen
work is done by electricity, except the
cooking, which is done by gss. i
The women are going to have a
rest room on the third floor which a
re-Incarnated Cleopatra might envy.
The thirty office girls selected a com
mittee of two, the Misses King and
Lovely, to buy the furniture, and Gen
eral Manager Howe told them to
spare no expense. Rumor has it that
they complied literally with Mr.
Howe's mandate and the result ill
be perpetual invitation to lounge In
the luxuriously upholstered, chairs
and divans. The rest room adjoins
the parlor.
The girls are also going to have a
roof garden, a real, palm-bestrewn re
treat where summer a heat will be set
at nought.
One of the features of the general
managers' and superintendents' of
fices, in addition to the black oak
woodwork and the grey velvet car
pets to match the 'grey walls, is the
silencer. That invention absorbs
loud sounds and magnifies a whisper.
It absolutely kills echo. The occu
pants of the room next to the tele
graph office will not be able to hear
the click-click of the key. The op
erator may be sending a message to
anv noint in the country by the Ar
mour special wire arrangement,and
an eavesdropper at the keyhole, who
was familiar with the telegraph code,
could not get the sense of the mes-aasre.
Then there are the marvelous
vaults, which would make a pessimist
of the most experienced burglar plan
ning to steal their contents. The cages
of the cashiers and auditors are ar
tistic wonders in their line. The in
laid doors and the waxed oak floor
lend additional elegance.
- The building is 150 feet by 80 feet.
Pressed brick, about one-half the size
of the ordinary house brick and extra
heavy, compose it.

I L.S. HASTINGS D
I Candidate for Election on the Non-Partisan Ballot for Judge of the Supreme Court
H L. S. Hastings, -the subject of this .
II sketch, was born in Boone County, Illin- v . ' , '
M - ois November 1, 1866. A few years after
M ... his father returned from the war he re
m moved from Illinois and settled in Butler
County, Nebraska, which has been the
1 . "home of Mr. Hastings for the past thirty
pi eight years. Twenty-eight years ago Mr.
if ' Hastings took up the practice of law in
David City. During these twenty-eight
I' years his rise in the profession has been
steady and successful. He has been iden
m - tified with most of the important cases
f.) that have passed through the courts 'of
; this county.- Notable among these was the
H Lillie murder trial, in which Mr. Hastings
Y was the prosecutor. He has a large prac
h tice in the supreme court of the state,
many cases coming from other parts of
H the state. During his residence in Butler
m County he has served as County Attorney
fp - two terms, was a member of the State
ji! Senate from this senatorial district, com
tfi prising Butler and Seward Counties, dur-
ing the session of 1903 and 1904. He also
j served two terms as Mayor of David City,
fi during which time many public improve
fi ments were made. Among them were the
m paing of vthe streets and the establish
m ment of a municipal light plant. Mr.
M ' Hastings vwas a member of the Board of
M Education during the years 1912 and
w 1913, and served as president of the 11
board. He has enjoyed the confidence of " '
the people of Butler County to a large degree. This is shown by the endorsement given him at the
-' primary in April of this year, when they gave him 2,018 votes out of 2,400 cast at the election. To
further show that the people of Butler County are back of the candidacy of Mr. Hastings,' the Re
publican and Democratic convention in conjunction passed the following resolution:
"We, The Republicans of Butler County, in eon junction with the Democrats of
aid county, desire to recommend L. S. Heatings of this county as a fitting candidate
for the office of Judge of the Supreme Court. We do not do this in a. partisan
manner, but as citizens of Butler County. Mr. Hastings has lived in Butler County for
more than 30 years, has held various offices of trust, and has always performed the '
duties of them in an able and efficient manner. His 28 years' active practice in the
law profession and the success he' has attained therein fits him for the position of Su- '
preme Judge." This resolution was unanim6usly adopted by both conventions.
Mr. Hastings is a deep thinker, and a man of strong convictions, Nothing has ever swerved him from
what he thought was right. He is careful and deliberate in matters which he has for consideration. . His long
practice and the success attained particularly qualifies him for the position of Supreme Court Judge.
