Buy From These Omaha Firms
Omaha Manufacturers Will Look
Closer to the Cost of Production

the lack OF efficiency and economy OF
management has been amazing.
The president of the laundrymen's
association gave some figures to show
the increase in cost of necessary ma
terials and labor since the October
increase.
These increases are: Soap, So;
starch, rs; Irvine, 20; steam coal, Is;
labor, IS per cent.
Besides this laundrymen say they
do not intend to raise their rates
again, but they do intend soon to raise
wages. They hope to make up the
difference in efficiency and economy.
More Attention to Cost System.
Not only the aundries, but other
lines of manufacture in Omaha and
Nebraska are paying more and more
attention to cost systems and efficient
management
Fred S. Knapp, president of the
Omaha Box company, recently re-
turned from New Orleans, where he
studied mill and factory conditions,
while he was scouting to buy lumber.
He found that factory hands there
receive as low as 40 cents a day. He
was amazed to think he was COM
peting for business with factories that
could hire help so cheap. The cheap
est hands in the box factories here get
$l.40 to $l60
Mr.. Knapp said there was no cause
to fear competition from concerns oil
this kind, because Of lack of efficiency
and economic management, which is
manifest throughout part of the south
Nebraska and Iowa box factories
and cooperage concerns also have tc
face the problem Of advanced cost o.

RUSS NEED SHELLS,
MONEY, RAIL STOCK
Foreign Minister Says U, S,
Can Aid His Government Most
by Supplying These.
WILL HELP DEFEAT KAISER

Petrograd (Via London), April o.
Money, ammunition and railway
rolling stock are the primary neces-
sites for which Russia now is turning
to America.
IF America can help supply us
with these" said Paul N. Milukoff,
the Russian foreign minister, sit
will not only have added greatly to
the services it already has extended
to the allies, but will materially help
Russia to defeat Germany on the
eastern front.
Lack of Transportation.
Russia has been crippled during
the entire war by lack of adequate
facilities for transportation. If the
United States can send us rolling
stock it will Immediately help us to
mobilize the resources of the country
to their full efficiency.
IF, in addition to this, she can help
protect the trade routes between
America and Russia and expedite the
sending of ammunition to Archangel
and Vladivostok, it will be another
valuable service rendered.
"The new loan which America is
to make to Russia already is under
discussion and although not definitely
arranged, it promises to be according
to the most satisfactory terms. We
are grateful for this. Other means
of assistance | regard as not quite so
important.
1--WE have all the men we need and
expeditionary forces had better be
sent to other fronts, although the
presence of a small military mission
to symbolic the union between Rus
STA and America against the common
foe would be most appropriate"
Mr.. Milukoff says the political situa-
ton in Russia has improved greatly
and labor troubles are disappearing
No Need for Fear.
The Russian foreign minister al
luded to the possibility of a descent
upon Petrograd by tha German army,
saying:
THE Germans undoubtedly are
making plans for some kind of a
move on the northern front, but !
don't believe for a moment in yield
ing to the panicky belief that the Ger
mans will reach Petrograd."

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD
MINNEAPOLIS IN 5677
A Review, by Rabbi c. David Matt.

Der l. Naturally, even this response
does not represent the maximum OF
what could be done. For in at least
one respect the committee failed to
come up to it's expectations, not
every one in the community who
was able to, has given. However,
since we are still some distance from
the Millennium, perhaps it is not
surprising that there be some, tho
happily few, who have still not
learned to attune their ear to the
call of duty. But the vast majority
have responded handsomely, more
handsomely than they themselves
had expected they could.
The success of the war fund was
all the more pleasing because it
came shortly after a spirited and

successful "drive" for new subscrib-
ers for the Associated Jewish Chari-
ties. AS result the subscription
list of the charities was increased by
almost half, and it's assets by almost
one-third. Naturally this exhausts
neither the number who could sub
scribe, nor the needs of the Chari-
ties. But as in the case of the War
Relief Fund, it is pleasing instance
of self-discovery. Once a commun-
ity energies from the rut into which
it may have fallen because of pau
city of workers or limited vision or
over-conservatism, there is no limit
to what it may accomplish. And it
is the first instance of discovery
that is most important. That is why
Minneapolis may congratulate her
self on the response given to char
liable appeals.

September IA, 1917.

Judging a city's growth. 1t is, there
fore, gratifying to note that there
are other important angles to the
many-sided development of Mime
apolis. At last, and in manner that
leaves no room for doubt, Mime
apolis has been put upon the map"
almost with a vengeance. Ordi-
narily the average Jewish commun-
ity plumes itself on securing one
convention year. What shall we
say, then, of city that books three
conventions and all in one week.
For to end the fiscal year, 1916, be-
comingly, our city was host to the
"Hai Resh" fraternity, the Intercol-
legiate Menorah Association, and
the Knights of Zion. The converting
bodies are unanimous in declaring
their conventions here as the most
important held in recent years. Be
that as it may, there is no doubt that
it was Our community land this in
cludes our sister community, St.
PauD that was distinctly the gamer
Of the Hal Resi- Fraternity's
conclave we are not in position to
speak. Evidently the gathering was
most successful, because the fratres
and sorores had all the enjoyment
they had planned-probably more.
AS for the community, it was af-
forded the opportunity to see that
our young people, given the wealth,
desire and the pattern, can have
fraternities that will resemble the
Jewbarring Frats as closely as you
please.
The Intercollegiate Menorah Con-
vention brought goodly number
of earnest and enthusiastic young
students, who have become jewish
ly self-conscious, and in discov-
ering their people have found them
selves. After the first spiritual
hesitancy that makes the average
Menorah member speak almost ex-
clusively of Jewish "culture," yet
fear to tread" too close to even the
mention Of Judaism or Jewish Re-
ligion"-after this hesitancy has
worn off, the Menorah will be able
to fulfill most useful function in
Jewish life in America. 1t will give
us thoughtful, enlightened leader
ship, leadership that even from the
formative period at the University,
will have consciously assumed the
burden, without having had the
leadership thrust upon them. AS to

achievement had been the bringing

is always easier than looking for
ward to a new,-tho it is not al
ways as pleasant. For one thing,
there is not the anticipation, which
always gives zest to the events OF
the morrow. Again, there are no
regrets,-no one can have any re-
grets over things that have not yet
occurred, nor remorse for errors not
committed. On the other hand
there is not the uncertainty of the
unknown. The year in retrospect
is as it were an open book, with
every event clearly recorded in it..
Even if some entries are beginning
to invest themselves in the mist of
remoteness or fading in the shadow
of receding days, it is usually easy
to refresh the memory by access to
records.
The greatest difficulty lies in de-
termining a sense of proportion. Al
ter five or ten years, the unimport-
ant is already forgotten, and the i'm
portant looms out all the clearer.
At the end of but one year, how
ever, the sense of relative values
cannot be so distinct Be that as it
may, there is much in the life of
community that even at the close
of the year can be spoken of as out
standing. And of our own commun-
ity, Minneapolis, there are several
such events of whose Importance
we can speak unequivocally.
WAR RELIEF CAMPAIGN
First and foremost, Tin spite of
the materialistic nature of the
events), we must place the response
to the several demands made upon
our bounty. Nothing is as easy
or as undesirable, to place one
self, individually or continually,
upon the pedestal of SNUG self-admir-
alton. Especially is this true of a
community's charitable contribu
tons, for such self-satisfaction
spells the death of real progress in
the art or measure of giving. Yet
it is not too much to say that Min
neapolis has good reason to con-
graduate herself on the Jews she
harbors in her midst, and Jewry can
truly feel that in this community
there is many heart that beats true
to the best in Israels traditions. We
refer, of course to the splendid re-
spouse to the appeal for the War
Sufferers. Tho Minneapolis was
expected to raise at the utmost
