CREATING JOBS ron HUNGRY
Bill TO Increase the Number of OIL
Inspectors.
(From a Staff correspondent.)

800 ha- -
Inspectors.
(From a Staff Correspondent
LINCOLN, Jan. 12.-(Special.)-The eco
nomical democratic legislature started off
well today by taking the first steps for the
creation of another office.
Arthur Mullen, maid in waiting to Gov
ernor Shallenberger, chief oil inspector,
wants another deputy, so he asked for him
Armstrong OF Buffalo introduced a bill
providing for an additional oil inspector to
be paid 500 a month and expenses. For
many years five deputies have been con-
sidered a sufficient crowd to sit around
and draw pay without anyone getting lone
some, but Mullen concluded he needs one
more in the crowd. Or perhaps he has a
lieutenant who needs the money.
In order to pay the extra man Mr.. Null
lens bill increases the charge to be made
for the inspection OF oil to 10 cents a barrel
In lots OF more than ten barrels and %
cents a barrel in lots less than ten barrels.
Under the present rates the oil office has
paid TO the state something like $4,000 dur
ing the last biennium above the cost.
Should the new bill become a law there
will be a deputy oil inspector for each con-
gressional district, besides Mr.. Mullen, the
big chief. The bill also provides a stenog-
rapher, who does all the work in the office.

delighted. A pretty pouch in rich
brown or dark green. lined with a
maroon silk. would be attractive when
the edges are pinked and a draw

run in near the top. It's not the kid,
the lining or the cord that makes these
bags so unusual, for without the mon
ogram or crest done in gilt thread or
in bright colored silks the pouches,
aside from being handmade, would be
quite the same as those bought in the

Peary Receives $4,000
For His Own Story

sS<-It seems probable that many years
viii pass before an author receives
higher price for his literary product
than Commander Robert E. Peary re-
ceives from Hampten's Magazine for
his own story OF the discovery of the
north pole.
This feature cost Hampton's clean,
cool $4,000. No rate per word is
specified in the contract, but it is gen.
orally estimated that Commander
Peary is receiving $1.1S cash for each
word that he writes for Hampton's
Magazine Benjamin B. Hampton, edi-
tor of the magazine, makes this state
ment:
'Tf you have a desire to estimate the
rate per word that will be earned by
Peary with his north pole story, you
would be safer in placing it at $2.50
per word than $1.20. We have bought
only American and Canadian magazine
rights. and Stokes book rights cover
only these countries That leaves all
the foreign rights to sell. When they
are figured up, the totals should amount
to 100000 or even $3.50, 000
"Peary Is not good business man.
AS matter of fact, he is a poor man.

PIPE RACK.

gift that an ingenious woman who is
clever with carpenters tools can make.
This present is a novel pipe rack. To
make the rack procure four boards
from a carpenter-two eighteen inches
long by six inches wide and two eight
cen inches long by FIVE inches wide.
In one of the latter pieces get car
penter to bore four holes three-eighths
of an inch in diameter and running
lengthwise in the board. The two end
holes are four inches from the ends of
the board, and all of the holes are two
and a half inches apart. The two
larger boards are joined together by
means OF braces, which screw on the
backs with very small screws. Five
inches from the top of the longer side
is fastened the board with the holes in
it, so that it makes a shelf on the first
piece. Then, five inches below this, is
fastened the other board in the same
manner as the firstly means of
screws from the back. The rack Is fin
ished as far as the carpentering goes.
The upper shelf is for the pipes. the
while the lower shelf is for tobacco
boxes, matches, etc.
The next thing is to stain it the pop
ular mission color. Then get screw
eyes and put them on the back, and
through these put picture wire to hang
it by. The hardest thing is to print
above the first shelf. "A Mans Best
Friend" Paint the letters with gold
paint, which sets off the dark color of
the wood and gives the rack finished,
decorative appearance.

of the family, and the commander never
loses an opportunity to praise her for
the manner in which she has labored
and borne the brunt of his quarter of
a century of work in the Arctic. Peary
and Mrs. Peary have sacrificed their
material comfort to this Arctic ideal.
Every dollar they could spare from
actual living expenses has been used
to equip expeditions, so that, when
Peary returned few months ago, there
was mighty little money in the Peary
bank account.
Record Breaking Lecture Offers.
1.-THE revenue from his books and
magazine work could be greatly in
creased by lecturing, if Peary friends
can persuade him to go on the plat
form. He has had offers that would
net him 500, 600 for the first years
work, or more, If he would be willing
to stick to it for several consecutive
months He has received offers from
many of the leading cities Of the coun-
try, guaranteeing him as high as $5,-
600 for single lecture.
There can be no reason Cat least,
so his friends assert) why he could not
take advantage of the lecture oppor-
tunities and meet the people, and let
them hear his story from his own lips.
up to the present time he has not
completed any lecture arrangements.
but it is believed that he may be per
suaded to do so within a few weeks
The chief difficulty seems to be that
this man, who has been living in the
! frozen north Is out of the last % years
has a genuine diff1dence about exhibit
/ ing himself to the public. Peary Is a
scientist, first, last and all the time
He values his scientific achievements
as Of more Importance than the oppor
| tunity to make money. He will dc
nothing that does not coincide with his
rigid ideals of a scientists dignity
For example, he has declined offers
from moving picture men, who want &c
show his polar photographs, and offers
! from talking concerns that want few
reels Of talk to retail throughout the
| country, offers which amount to a tidy
fortune"
Rates Paid Other Authors.
Just why Commander Peary receiv
ed such an exceptional rate for his
story is explained by the eager compe
tition for it ON part Of nearly all the
important publishing houses in the
world. Realizing the supreme impor
lance of this, the most wonderful and
last of the earth's hero-stories, they en-
gagged in a bidding which made figures
rise mercurially. They know, of course
that this story had not-like most Of
the world romances-been told before
It was the most extraordinary and in
teresting story of fact to be told for tbs
first and last time.
1t is interesting to compare the price
paid Commander Peary with the rates
enjoyed by the top-notch writer's OF
the world.
Ex-President Roosevelt received fol
his African hunting stories one dollar
a word. Rudyard Kipling is supposed
to receive the highest price paid any
| author of fiction For the English and
