way, is rapidly developing to large
proportions. Manufacturing is gener-
ally regarded as having extra hazards,
especially in the first development OF
business, but Lincoln industries are
few and far between that have SUI
fered any decline in business in 1915.
The Lee Broom & Buster Co. is
another OF Lineoln's large institutions
that made extensive changes in its
plant in 1914, increasing its warehouse
capacity, adding many new machines
and increasing the number OF en-
ployes 80 or 40 per cent. This large
business reaches practically, in the
distribution Of manufactured products,
into every state in the union.
Lincoln more and more is recog-
nized as the city with the near
market. Its railroad facilities are
such that distribution from Lincoln
is made in the shortest possible time
and customers over wide range OF
territory secure their supplies many
hours earlier III the Lincoln market
than the same buyers can secure
them in competitive markets. Lincoln
railroad facilities for distribution con-
tinue to be improved. Train service
on the part OF traffic interests and
the commercial club is watched
closely and every effort is made to
secure rapid transit OF freight and de-
liveries in the shortest possible time.
Some large improvements were made
on several lines of road leading from
Lincoln in the last year through
which cars were loaded and dis
patched to reach territories in much
shorter time than heretofore, These
facts are a constant stimulus to the
jobbing business already established
and constant invitation to other
jobbing lines to center here and Sc
cure the known advantages that this
city possesses as distributing CEN
ter and the close attention that the
commercial organization of this city
gives to the jobbing trade, The rates
question is given especial attention
by the traffic department of the COM
mercial club and the result is that
many more equitable rates are con
SANITY being secured and adjust
ments are made that count largely
in the building of the profits of job
bling industries in the city.
One of the features in connection
with Lincoln business is the steady
expansion of territory that the old
established houses here are covering. |
During 1915 there were eleven new
territories created by five of the larg-
est houses in the city, and number
of the smaller houses increased their
territory occupied. Lincoln is the
home OF more travelling men than the !

As to the sufficiency OF the COM
plant the supreme court says: TN

the allegation that the bonds were
false, II regarded as inaccui At may
be treated as surplusage. This court
has held that where the information
incorrectly names an offense but
states special facts showing what the
offense really is. the defendant is not
prejudiced by the mistake in desigaat-
ing the offense and judgment con-
victing him of the offense which the
facts pleaded constitute, will not be
disturbed. So. in this 3e, the facts
pleaded in the information constitute

The court concludes:
1.-THE rule Is elementary that the In
structions given mus. be read and
construed as a whole and that no one
instruction shall be singled out as stat
ing all the law of the case. In instruc-
ton eight we find that he court said
that the state must prove an intent to
defraud on the part of TIE defendant,
and the same matter Is specifically
treated in other Instructions. We do
not assume that the jury regarded sim

considered and applied a.. the instruc-

Our general conclusion is that we
find no error of law In this record

If you think that next February, OF

you win have long, hard kick to make
at the amount with which you are as
sessed in the county, the best thing you
can do is to go around to the chancery
clerks Office and see how the assessor
has you listed up.
If the amount is too large or too small
you have a right to complain, and that
complaint will be heard by the board oi
supervisors at special meeting next
month.
The assessments roll will be open fol
inspection all this month.
IT one fails to kick about his or hei
assessment at this time it will be of nc
avail to comlain at taxpaying time.
The only thing to do them will be to
pony up the amount demanded and say
nothing.
The board of supervisors will be a
busy body next month. AT it's regular
meeting it must transact all the regular
monthly routine as well as hear tax
assessment complaints, and it is certain
the members will earn every penny they
draw for August services to the county.
