Shown for Profit, Says
Maupin.
From a Staff Correspondent.
Lincoln, July 11. (Special.) The
series of motion pictures now being
finished up by the department of
publicity and to be shown under the
title of "Nebraska at Work," will, un

personal profit, according to Will M.
Maupin. director of the bureau.
"These pictures have been paid for
by the state and will be shown by the
state tinder the aus'pic of this de
partment," said Mr. Maupin today.
"Wherever a charge is made for ad
misainn r t!ip nirtures. the oro-
ceeds must be donated to some war
charity after the actual expenses of
the exhibition have been paid and
these expenses will have to be very
small; the expense of the operator and
lecturer and the 1iall rent. No one will
be allowed to profit personally.
Work Nearly Done.
"The actual work of photography
is practically completed and most of
the films have already been developed.
There yet remains the actual work of
cutting, assembling and inserting ti
tles. The whole set of pictures will
require about 5,500 feet of film and
about an hour and forty-five minutes
actual hereon time. The start of this
personally conducted tour of Ne
braska's institution s and activities will
naturally begin with the executive of
fices at 'Lincoln, showing the various
department activities, the legislature
and its coninitters at work and a
panoramic view of the state house and
Krounds. Then the spectators will be
taken the rounds of the state institu
tions in Lincoln and suburbs, fol
lowed by a visit to every other pub
lic institution in the state.
Ready In August.
"Interspersed here and .there will
be pictures of agricultural and in
dustrial activities, the scenic beauties
of Nebraska and plenty of pictures of
sollic; veterans of former wars and
scenes ihat will recall frontier clays
in the state.
"I expect to have these pictures
ready for exhibition not later than
August 15. Community clubs, boards
of education, Red Cross societies and
other s'niilar organizations will have
first call, guaranteeing only the actual
expenses of the exhibition. The de
partment wants to make these pic
tures of the highest educational value,
and t- that end hopes to interest all
publ'c organizations in their exhibi
tion." Spring Grain in Nebraska
