Nebraska Cement Company
Has Taken On New Life

The recent foreclosure and sale OF
the Kansas and Nebraska properties
of the Nebraska Portland Cement
company, an Omaha concern, of
which E. E. Bruce is one of the di-
rectors, and its reorganization by
bond holders has given a new life
to that firm. The plant, which stood
idle for over a year, is owned al
most exclusively by Nebraska men
and is not merged with any eastern
cement concerns, as has been re-
ported.
Already about sixty men are at
work upon the plant engaged in max
ing it an efficient running industry.
Several hundred thousand dollars will
be spent in the construction of stock
houses, new buildings and modern
machinery.
Much credit for the reorganization
of the cement company is given to
Colorado interests, which also pur-
chased large blocks of stock.

BANKERS PLEASED
OYER RESERVE BANK
Financiers Declare it Will Give
Omaha ALI the Advantages
of a Parent In
stitution.

Omaha bankers will be almost as
we'll pleased to get a branch of the
federal reserve bank of Kansas City
as they would have been had Omaha
been chosen in the first place instead
of Kansas City as the headquarters
of the federal reserve bank of this
district.
The intimation has come from Sec
retary of the Treasury McAdoo and
from other official sources that
Omaha will get the branch bank.
1T is likely that Wyoming will be
included in the district served by the
branch to be located in Omaha" said
o. T. Eastman f the First National
bank. 1T is possible that the extreme
southeastern part of Nebraska will not
be included in the territory served by
Omaha on account of its proximity to
Kansas City and the railway facilities
in that direction.
Much to Omaha.
1T will mean much to Omaha to
have this branch. 1t will mean that
the reserve which Omaha banks are
now required to deposit in Kansas
city will be deposited in the branch
bank in Omaha. 1t will mean that
the local branch will have all the
functions of the parent bank, the re-
discount function, and everything
else.
1T will mean quicker service for
the Omaha banks, and quicker adjust
ment of debts and credits in the fed
eral reserve bank for the banks out in
the state and throughout whatever
territory is assigned to the Omaha
branch. Suppose bank Of Laramie,
Wyo., for instance, is sefding in
checks for deposit, or for credit.
This Laramie bank would save
twenty-sour hours in getting its re-
turns if it could send to all Omaha
branch instead of to Kansas City
On the long run that counts up. The
interest on that length of time would
be 10 cents per 81 900, and that would
soon count up on the hundreds of
thousands of dollars of debts and
credits exchanged in the course of a
year"
Omaha bankers believe the branch
institution would eventually employ
upwards of seventyfive clerks.

LIBERTY BABIES TO
GET BONDS IN JULY
Finance Committee Will Issue
Papers to Sixteen New
comes Of June 8, In.
cluding Twins.

The sixteen Liberty babies born
June 9, when the local Liberty loan
committee offered to give a $50 Lib
erty bond to every baby born that
day. will get their bonds some time
in July.
The committee rs to pay for all
but two OF the bonds. General George
H. Harries is the only man in Omaha
who, would volunteer to pay for
bonds for babies born that day. He
made the offer during the day that
if twins were born he would give
each $50 bond. The report of the
twins came late in the afternoon OF
Saturday, June g.
The following Monday when Gen.
eral Harries appeared at the meeting
of the Liberty loan committee he had
FIVE shining $50 gold pieces in his
pocket, which he deposited with the
committee at once to buy the two
bonds for the twins.
Omaha bachelors who were ap-
preached for money with which to
buy bonds for the babies baked at
the suggestion. The committee then
sent out letters to fifty business
firms of Omaha asking for contri-
buttons of further funds to defray
the expenses Of the campaign. The
fifty requests brought twenty-five
responses and the Golfers were again
filled. +
So the treasury is in good condi-
tion to provide bonds for the six
teen babies and Chairman. 0. r.
Eastman has asked the city health
department for an official report on
the babies born June 9 in order that
he may have the bonds made out as
soon as they arrive.
