URGING SHOPPING
ElaLY IN The DAY

There is talk of q movement about
to be started by the local department
stores urging not only early shopping,
but shopping early in the day, durin9
the fast approaching holiday season.
Though this is but one of many plans
which the merchants are considering
in connection with the holiday trade,
they believe that none will do more to
facilitate the handling of the rush OF
business which is expected to start
in the course of the next few weeks,
Retailers have been complaining
more and more as the season pro-
crossed and the help scarcity began
to make itself felt, of the tendency OF
women practically to ignore the stores
during the morning hours and to do
the greater part of their shopping
in the afternoon. 1t is said that, OUT
OF the total days turnover in the
stores from Is to IS per cent. OF the
business is transacted between 2:30
and 500 o'clock Thus, store man

stores. must be made this year for
the Christmas buying. The war is not
going to figure in the least so far as
curtailing business is concerned
What we must consider is that there
is no unemployment, in addition to
which wages, with but few exceptions,
are high This will result in what |
believe will be an Unprecedented
rush of Christmas buying and in view
Of the fact that labor is scarce, We
are obliged to plan now to overcome
the difficulties that will develop IN
taking care of this large volume OF
business when i comes
Therefore, since it is become i'm
possible for us to get all the addition

creased the efficiency OF our sale1I
force by familiarizing them with Ger
tain fundamental principles of sales

better knowledge of the lines which
they are to sell, We have by no means,
through this practice, been able to
offset the shortage of help. The only
solution 10 the situation, as many Of
us in the trade see it, is in more

Lincoln, April l4.--(Special.) 1.-The
Nebraska department Of the Grand
Army Of the Republic has issued the
following circular letter under the
direction of Department Commander
w. H. Stewart and Assistant Adju.
tant General A. M. Trimble:
Comrades: There has never been
a time since the civil war when the
veterans Of that great struggle have
deemed it necessary on their part to
offer or render any kind of military
service.
And now, while there is no lack
Of enthusiastic patriotism, we are past
the age for active service. But the
time has now come when we can
show the spirit Of true patriotism in
urging the young men Of the country
to rally round the flag" as we did
from 1861 to 1865, and as the Span
ish-American veterans did in 1898 and
1899. By so doing, we can feel that
we are rendering material service to
the best country on earth. First then,
let us get behind our National Guard
and assist them in filing up their
ranks. . ..r
"The National Guard is now a ma
tional organization. 1t typifes the
volunteer system and should have the
support OF every comrade in this de.

partment, because we feel to know
that every young man enlisting in
that great organization now will re-
ceive great benefit from their inten-
sive training.
Recruiting officers are now scat
tered all over the country, and your
department commander is axious that
all post officers and comrades
throughout the department take the
matter up at once, and appeal to
the young manhood OF their neigh
borhoods to respond to this call, and
respond now.
Young men! From 1861 to 1865
the union needed us, as we then
needed the union, and so today, our
country needs you, in this hour OF
national peril, as you need the coun-
try and its continued protection.
Every patriotic young man, therefore,
should place his services at the dis
posal of the government, instead of
waiting for compulsory call, to pro-
tect the honor Of our great and be-
loved country.
Were we of acceptable age we
would be right with you. As it is,
we are in full sympathy with the
plans for protecting the honor Of
our nation, and many are willing to
render any service for which they
are fitted and needed, with the best
there is in them" a

Omaha Is Victim
Of Unjust Rates
On Railroad Lines

According to mileage il should cost
only 90 cents more to go from Omaha
to Chicago than from Kansas City to
Chicago. It really costs SOS more.
The Commercial club and the Traf-
fic Bureau have just been digging
around to pick up some little bits OF
information of this kind in connection
with the fight they have on to get q
more equitable adjustment Of passen-
ger rates as between Omaha east
bound and Kansas City eastbound.
The club had been OF the opinion
that the discrepancy unfavorable to
Omaha was only in the matter OF
tourists rates, and that It applied only
to points east of Chicago. They find
now that in the mere matter of going
from Omaha or Kansas City to Chi
cago and no further east, Omaha gets
far the worst Of 1t.
II costs $l2.05 to go from Omaha
to Chicago and only $40 to go from
Kansas City, while the distance from
Omaha is but a very few miles
greater

Buffalo County Wheat
Crop Much Improved

Kearney, Neb., April 14.-(Special.)
--latest reports received regarding
winter wheat conditions in Buffalo
and Kearney counties are optimistic
as compared with the forecasts of two
weeks ago. At that time it was
limited that the crop might be but a
fractional one and possibly even a
total loss. Yesterday F. G. Keens,
one of the most extensive farm own
ers in this vicinity, received the last
report from his many tenants. They
represent forty-seven farms, all To-
Gated in different parts of Kearney
and Buffalo counties. These men
place various estimates on the crop
that may be expected. The lowest
figure given is 80 per cent, while sew
eral farmers look for an 80 per cent
yield. The average is close to 20
per cent. These estimates were made
after careful examination of the fields
and can be accepted as trustworthy
figures.
