IMPLEMENT MEN
fOREGO PROFITS
AS WAR MEASURE
President of Association in
pening Address Declares
Sales of New Machinery
Must Be Held Down.
The implement men are asked to
torego the profits of heavy sales of
new machinery in order to save the
steel and other necessaries for the
munitions of war. Nojie other than
President C. E. Gallagher of the Mid
west Implement Dealers' association
has asked this of his fellow implement
men. When the convention opened
at the Hotel Rome yesterday
President Gallagher, in his opening
address, said:
"The time has come when there is
not a single inch of room in this
country for anyone but an American.
"We should encourage the farmers
to repair their old machinery ind
ma'- use of it to the fullest capacity,
thusXi'iminating the necessity of pur-
masing new machinery, lhe result
will be the saving of the freight haal
ind the material needed for ammuni
tion and other war implements.
'This may seem like a peculii po
sition to be taken by Us who arer en
gaged in the sale of implements.
' Measure of Patriotism.
Y. M. C. A. FUND SORE
" TO SURPASS MARK
Further Reports From State
Indicate Nebraska's Sub
scriptions Will Go Above
$500,000 Mark.
-otninsr out the highest sense o
patriotic duty could impel us to this
course. But if the boys in the trenches
are willing to lay down their lives
for the cause we should be willing to
fol-get the profits to insure the soldier
bcjys plenty of munitions of war, that
they may fight and fight to win.
Mr. Gallagher suggested that the
implement men help the government
in.other ways. He suggested that they
assist m relieving the congestion in
the railway system by getting in early
shipping ordars in the implement bust
ness. "As every little bit in these
time adds to the burdens," he said,
"sp every little bit subtracted takes
that much therefrom.
; To Encourage Big Crops.
lie suggested also that the imple
ment men foster and encourage great
er effort at crop production by the
farmers by the offer of prizes for the
largest yield or corn or other gram
per acre, or the best beeves or hogs
produced under given conditions. He
suggested that this could be done by
the organization of farmers clubs.
The-implement men gathered rap
idly yesterday for the three days'
convention of the Midwest Implement
Dealers' association. The general ses
sions are being held at the Hotel
Rome. .A big banauet given bv the
Omaha and Council Bluffs Implement
and Vehicle club is scheduled tor the
delegates at the Hotel Rome this eve-
sing.
Show at Auditorium.
The annual implement &hov is on at
the Auditorium in connection with the
convention. The farm tractor section
of the implement show is a big section
and occupies the entire basement sec
tion. I ractors were pulling into place
all forenoon, and the room roared
yith the popping of gasoline engines,
like drum fire on the western front.
The main floor of the Auditorium is
packed with impleinenis.

Reports received Wednesday from
the state districts in the Young Men's

paign showed that most of them are
adding even more to their ,already
large totals. The Nebraska City dis
trict, which already had $41,758, re
ported an additional $2,000. The
Wakefield district added $1,000 to its
previous report of $18,000.
"There is no doubt at all that the
state will co above the $500,000 mark
and have several thousand to spare."
said D. Burr Jones, state campaign
manager. Our total tabulated up to
this morning' shows $493,000 and this
hgures Omaha in at only $116,000,
whereas there is no doubt that
Omaha will come through with $125.
000. Other districts will also make
material additions.
Beat all States
"Nc other state equalled this rec
ord. We will get more than 100
per cent above our apportionment
lhe best any other state did was to
get 80 pet cent above its apportion
ment.
A telegram received from the na-
t.oiial headquarters Wednesday
I stated that the national total was
$50,152,544, with probability that an
other halt million will he added in
the final total.
Tabulation of the Omaha figures is
still going on. Tuesday $12,000 in
cash was counted and turned in at
the bank. Mrs. Offutt reported the
women's total so far tabulated is
more than $39,000.

Despite Railroads Vigilance
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Union Pacific is taking extra pre
cautions to prevent automobile acci
dents at railroad crossings, many

any saftey agent, asserts that acci
dents will continue so long as drivers
fail to heed the injunction "Stop,
Look and Listen.
in Kansas, during the last year,
the Union Facihc has expended $70,
000, in the construction and main
tenance of approaches to grade
crossings, having put all such cross
ings in first class condition for the
six mbnths ending July 1, there
were eighteen automobile accidents
at grade crossings. At none of these

road obstructed. Three of them
were at crossings protected by bells.
Of the eighteen accidents, sixteen of
them occurred during daylight.
