SALESMEN MEET
TO BOOST STOCK
FOR AK-SAR-BEN
Volunteers to Work East of
Sixteenth Street Hold
Meeting at Hotel .
Fontenelle.
The volunteer stock salesmen who
will work next week east of Six
teenth street in behalf of the stock
yelling: campaign for the Ak-Sar-Ben
t. Exposition company met last night
at the Hotel Fontenelle, where they
first broke bread and then received
inspiring talks from their leaders.
The west-of-Sixteenth street
teams met at the Fontenelle Wed-
nesday night and were enthused in
similar manner.
Guy Cramer, Robert H. Manley,
Harvey Millikin and ,H. B. White
house comprise the executive com
' mittee of the sales organization and
J. . Davidson is treasurer of the
exposition company. Excepting
only the various war fund cam
paigns, it may be said that this or
ganization surpasses anything Oma
ha has ever seen in the way of or
ganized business "pep."
Business Men Active.
And it is pep with a purpose and
a punch. Nearly 400 energetic 4ive
wire Omaha business men are in
this campaign because they have
faith to believe that the project is
for the real inteests of Omaha.
They are going to start out Mon
day to cover the entire city of
Greater Omaha. They will be
primed with' as much information
and zeal as if they were out to sell
goods for their firms or for them
selves. Their object is to sell $1,000,000
of stock at $100 per share in the Ak-Sar-Ben
Exposition company. They
are ready to batter down any ob
jection that may be offered by any
prospect, but they are not anticipat
ing objections, because they believe
that full-page advertisements in the
Omaha newspapers have prepared
the people for their coming.
Size Up Prospects. .
They will know how nach each
prospect should subscribe for.
The leading business men of
Omaha already have agreed that
this exposition project will mean
more to Omaha than can be esti
mated at this time in dollars and
cents. The exposition wilt provide
nearly all-year entertainment and
amusements of a wide variety, in
cluding stock shows, automobile
and .aeroplane events, industrial
shows', carnivals of winter and sum
mer sports, open-air pageants, front
ier day exhibits, etc. . , .
v The salesmen are organized in 41
teams, each team with a major and
a captain. : ;
Each team has its own special dis
trict and will work only in that dis
trict. , , . ,
- Each salesman now has the name
of every prospect and the quota for
-r each prospect. , '. . .

Riot Will Not Stop Payment
Of Taxes, Says Treasurer
Rumors that records in the
county treasurer' office, destroyed
during the riot and fire of Septem
ber 28, will never be restored, and
that delinquent and unpaid taxes
will not be collected are strongly
denied by M. L. Endres, city and
county treasurer
"The receipts given for taxes paid
in years past are numbered and in
triplicate, and are credited to- tax
accounts of property. These were
not destroyed, and a recheck is
now being made in order to give
us a complete list of unpaid and de
linquent taxes," says Mr. Endres.
