FEELING THE RESULTS.
Union Glove Factory Already Puts on
Additional Glovemakers.

The Deputy-Spangler Co., is already
feeling the beneficial effects Of getting
into the union field. The increased de-.
mand for the Hardy" glove since the
factory was unionized has forced the
Deputy -Spangler Co., to put on more
help, and union gloveworkers from
Chicago have been put to work. A
week after The Wagewprker an
nounced that the factory was union
lied big gents furnishing goods
concern in Omaha sent in a big order
for gloves, stating that they wanted
to handle union made glove, and pre-
ferred Nebraska-made product, Lo-
cal merchants are recognizing the eff
fects, and in answer to demands for
the Hardy" work glove are increas-
ing their orders
This concern is the only union glove
making concern in Nebraska, and this
fact, together with the fact that the
product is superior, entities it to the
hearty patronage and support of union
men and women. While work gloves
are all in the glove line that the Dep
uty-Spangler Co., now puts on the
market, the prospects are that it will
add dress gloves in due time. But
just now the business in the work
glove line is growing SO rapidly that
the firm has all it can well attend to.

UNION FIRE INSURANCE CO.

Abraham Lincoln established a bust
ness truism when he said, you can't
fool all the people, all the time" and
when concern has been in the same
business, in the same city for more
than % years, and when at the end of
that time they retain the respect and
confidence of all who know them, it
is pretty certain that there is more
than the usual degree of merit in that
concern and the business they con-
duct. This exacting test is made OF
the Union Fire Insurance Co., of Lin
coin, Nebraska. In all these years no
one has questioned the standing OF
reliability of this company. T. j..
Brownfield is the general manager of
! the company, and e. H. Marshall, sec
retary. The gentlemen are well in
! formed as to the business of fire
! insurance. Everybody should carry
some fire insurance on their property,
and especially 50 should he who tolls
for daily wage, SO that in case a
calamity in the way of fire should
! overtake them, they would be pro.
tected, and be able to replace their
loss. There is absolutely no question
as to the reliability of the Union Fire
Insurance Co., and they have gained
an enviable reputation by paying all
losses promptly. This company has
on various occasions shown theiI
friendliness toward our cause and we
take pleasure in giving them a prom
inent place among the list of Nebraska
concerns that is entitled to the un
; divided support of every good citizen
of Lincoln.

Although the Lincoln local has been
in existence a number of years, this
is the first time the members have
given a ball. and they expect to make
It, such success that it will more
than make up fer the omission in the
years gone by.
The ball will be given in Williams
hall, on N street between Eleventh and
Twelfth-the cd Rudge & Guenzel
building. This is one of the largest
and best equipped dancing halls in
the west.
The union BARRIERS of Lincoln de-
serve the hearty patronage of union
men, and their assistance in making
the unions first ball success. The
BARRIERS have never failed to respond
literally to every call for assistance,
and they are always Johnny on the
Spot" when it comes to pulling for
the interests of organized labor. The
ball will be held on March 4 and those
who miss it will miss something to
talk about with pleasure during the
rest of their natural lives.

Lincoln for the hackers of the Citizens

old and arrogant Traction company.
These men had it, and it has been dem

founded. The consolidated lines are
owned by Lincoln men and off1cered
by Lincoln men. These men have the
best interests of the city at heart.
They know that whatever benefits the
city as whole will be financially ben

Now let us have an end to insinu-

A MAGNIFICENT eRowTH.
Lincoln Telephone. and Telegraph Co.
Increasing Rapidly.

The growth of the Lincoln Tele-
phone and Telegraph Co. has been lit
tie short of phenomenal. 1t is operat-
ing the automatic exchange in Lincoln
and long distance lines all over the
state of Nebraska, and has numerous
connections with other exchanges in
this and other states. It is oficered
by Lincoln men who are interested in
the growth of Lincoln, and who are
friendly to organized labor. It might
incidentally be mentioned that the
automatic phone is itself made by
union men, and the men who install
them in Lincoln and elsewhere in this
state are union men. Because of the
activity and enterprise of this COM
pany this city now has splendid tel
ephOne service.
Lincoln men and Lincoln capital
make the company, and the men are
among those who have contributed
largely to the development Of Lincoln
1t is pleasure to recommend this
company to the people of Lincoln and
of Nebraska.

the city that had long cried in vain

liberality it forced the old company

who made the Citizens company sue

GRANGER BROS. COMPANY.

Lincoln's future is foreshadowed in
a present prosperity which is based
upon the thoroughly tried principles
of progress. There are departments
of business which by their stability
and steadness of growth indicate the
value of the city's claim to it's place
among the leading cities of this sec
ton, and one we wish to call atten-
tion to is that of the Granger Bros.
Company, one of the best known con-
Germs in Lincoln. This company are
wholesale grocers and manufacturers
which is heavily stocked at all times
with the products of the best manu-
facturers. This business was estab.
lished in 1887, and has continued to
grow with the city, and like the city
has progressed in every way This

Death in Legislature.
House Roll n, the ''long train bill"

the lower house of the legislature last
Wednesday morning. After it's mutt

wanted it, an dthe farmers were d.

for it, but it was fight againsct los

as the 'full crew BILL" and has the
approval of the head officials of the

Every lady VINO checks her wraps will

As might have been expected, the

ORIGIN OF BRITISH SQUARE
Battle Formation First Used by
Scotch Troops at the Battle Of
Bannockburn.

The greatest of all Scotch anniver-
saries is that of BannOcburn, fought
on midsummer day in the year 1914
Apart from its bearing on the indie,
pendence of Scotland, the battle will
always have an exceptional interest
from the military point of view, as
BannOckburn may be said to haVs
been the birthplace of the British
square. Proud Edwards" army
mainly consisted of cavalry, while
that of the Scots, on the other hand,
was almost exclusively composed of
foot-folk, armed with the spear, and
these Bruce threw into "schiltrOms, s.
or OblOng squaTes-a formation bOT-
rowed by Wallace from the Flemings,
who had employed it with success at
CourtTay-tO resust the charge of the
English cavalry.
Hitherto the mounted mail-clad
knight had carried everything before
him, but Courtray and Bannockburn
proved that he was pOweriess to
break Tesolute, spear-aTmed infantry
drawn up in "schiltrom" or hedgehog
formation, and these two battles revo-
lutionized the tactics of the continent
and of our own island. Profting by
the lesson which had been taught
them at BannOckbuTn the English ap-
piled the tactics of the Scots with
brilliant success at Crecy, and still
more at Agincourt. AS it was the
Scots who may be said to have orig
mated the British square at Bannock-
burn, so it was they again who at
Balaclava were the first to discard
it with their thin red line" and now,
owing to our changed conditions of
warfare, it is discarded altogether.

Mollah.

As a medical Missionary, stationed
for IS years in northwestern India,
near the Afghanistan frontier, DR., T.
l. Pennell had his share of peril and
adventure, which he has recounted in
a volume entitled, Among the Wild
Tribes of the Afghan Border"
As a medical man, DR.. PenneH had
his ups and downs with the native
doctors, who sweat their patients and
burn sores with lighted OIL but have
no faith in western treatment. They
also bleed and purge; but gradually
the new-fangled treatment. was ac-
cepted, and grateful converts were
made at the Bannu dispensaTy.
AS a missionary, DR.. PeRnell had
to contend with the mOllahs, who are
argumentatiVe and great broWbeaters ;
and very often, he confesses, he got
the worst of it by verdict of the
ragged crowd that hemmed in the
theOlOgians.
With a certain mOllah, who regard
ed the Christian medicine-man as a
rival, Dr. Pencil had an amusing en-
counter
DO you know" asked the mOllah,

the scientific explanation.

I'VE all know that the fires of hell
are under the earth, and that the sun
passes down every night, and there
fore comes up blazing hot in the
morning"
All Dr.. Pennell's accounts of natural
phenomena were ridiculed by the mol
lah. Then, turning to his people, he
said, with contempt in his face and
voice:
