These are every day battles of every

The farmer raises his hogs cattle and
sheep, fattens them for months, brings
them to the yards, and then lights a fat
cigar while he watches the commission
man make a fight FOR the highest possible
price that can be obtained for the load
For this service the commission man
is paid fee OF from S to SIS a load

Der OF head. the number OF owners OF a
single load and other details OF the rules
And the farmer, with very few excep-
tions, goes home feeling that the service
was well worth the price.
At present there are forty-nine com
mission firms In the Exchange building
in South Omaha, and all doing a prosper
Gus business. In round numbers these
commission firms employ something like
loo persons as yard men. statesmen, Of
flee men and road men.
The commission men are organised In
what Is known as the South Omaha Live
Stock Exchange. There are certain rules
OF the exchange which eacn commission
man is bound to obey. An exchange mem-

leaped to $3.50. and at times have beer
as high as $500.

Fer that very reason. memberships
themselves have been an object Of spec
ulstion at times. There are men who
believe that the price OF memberships
win go up so fast in the next few years
that they are willing now to pay a good
premium on them to buy up a lot OF
them. Others. more conservative, be-
lieve that the price OF them will strike

The exchange makes the rules Of com

The exchange prevents him from sell

It would be throat-cuttiug competition.
and Il prevents him from charging moro,
because he would be overcharEing tho
farmer and the shipper.
Tho exchange at the present time has
246 mombers In the forty-nine firms in

a definite function OF far reaching re-

1t Is because the commission man has
not sat with his feet on his office desk
and waited for business.
Il Is because the commission man has
spent much OF his time In the great field
OF these twenty-siN states soliciting bust
ness and pointing out the advantages OF
selling on the South Omaha market.

have their road men out all the time
travelling tens OF thousands OF miles, by
rail and by automobile, meeting the
farmer In his feed yard, the rancher on

wonderful facilities OF the South Omaha
market.

commission men sold for the farmers,

RUSSIAN CHOIR
AT AEOLIAN HALL
Cathedral Singers Give interest
ing Concert of Church and
Secular Music.

The concerts OF the choir Of the
Russian Cathedral have already made
a distinct and valued place for them
selves in New York's musical life.
Their offerings have been of music al
most entirely novel to our pubhc-the
music used in the services of the Rus
sian Church.
The choir's concert last night IN
Aeolian Hall showed that public inter
est in its work has greatly increased
The hall was completely filled. The
programme was in two parts, an ecele-
siastical and secular, and the choir
under its musical director, Ivan l.
GorokhofF, gave all the numbers aoso-
lutely without accompaniment.
Owing to the fact that several OF the
boys we're new this season there was IN
that portion of the choir at times con-
siderable departure from the pitch. Yet,
all in all, the offerings were well pre-
gented. and the BASES were unique.
The music was all written by modern
composers. but most Of 1t was Illed
with the primitive Russian spirit
OF special interest was 4 Credo OF
Gretchaninof, the chief part of which
was sustained by a boys voice IN q
monotone chant to a humming back
ground by the choir. Then there was
Tcherepnin's meet Is It." Balakiref'
INV Soul Shall Exult in the Lord" and
Arkhangelskys "IIear My Prayer, O
Lord"
The second portion Of the programme
contained numbers by Kastalsky, Sakh-
novsky, Tschaikowsky, Arkhangelsky,
Gretchaninoff and Borodine, the last
Offering being that of the chorus of
villagers from prince Igor"
