British Food Controller
Is a Man of the People

Correspondence of Associated Press.
London, July 30.-"Jack" Cynes,
as/J.- R. Clyness England's new food
controller, is called BY old comrades,
is well known in the United States,
where he has represented the British
Labor party at various international
conferences. By birth and work he is
a man of the people. Lord Rhondda,
his predecessor. was a grocer's son.
Clynes is the son of laborer.
Heeis a slight, rather understood,
delicate-looking man of 40. His frail
physique is probably the heritage of
hard labor in boyhood. for he began
at the age Of 10 in an Oldham mill.
Out of HE meager savings he paid
for course in night school, and
it is told of him that once he was on
the point of being discharged by his
mill boss for being found buried in
an English grammar while at work.
When still in his teens, press biog-
rapher relates, he bought a second
hand dictionary and spent several
months copying it from beginning to
end. In this way he acquired the vo-
cabuiary which he used with remarka-
Bile precision in his public speeches.
The books he studied were the works
of economists, philosophers, poets
and draniatists. Carlyle, Mill, Shake

speare and the Bible were his chief
delight.
He became Known a. q boy ora.
tor" A friend relates this incident
"Clynes and an Irishman used to 60
together to the seclusion of a spa
cious quarry, rude and wind-haunted.
and there practice upon each other the
art of public speaking"
At22 Clynes was the organizer for
the Lancashire district of tie General
Workers union and his success was
such that he made a name in the la
Dor world For a long period he has
been the president OF the National
Union of General Workers and chair
man of the National Federation of
Laborers' unions, which represents
100000 workers. He has represented
British labor interests in Canada,
France. Germany, Holland and other
countries.
He was elected to parliament from
a Manchester district in 1906, and
-four years later he became vice chair
man of the Labor party in the House
of Commons. Appointed parliament
tary secretary to the ministry of food
a year ago, he at once won the respect
and confidence of the controller and
became Lord Rhondda's chief lieuten-
ant.

Clynes as British labor's intellectual
lamplighter,"

PERSHING AT
The UNIVERSITY
OF NEBRASKA
Whips Cadet Battalion Into
Form and Makes Real SOL
diers Out Of Boys, Fore
ing Discipline.

Students who attended tn Eniver-
sity of Nebraska from 1901 \ 1894
have warm place in their hearts for
General Pershing During those years
the general, then a lieutenant, was
drilling the cadet battalion at the uni
versity. DR.. H. A. Senter, of Central
High school, was sergeant major Of 1.-THE
battalion and a close friend of Perish
ing.
Lieutenant Pershing was faced by a
big task when he assumed the leader
ship OF the battalion of students.
The cadet band was especially in need
of the discipline as is shown by the
following extract from a university
publication of 1894:
Whipped Into Line.
Lieutenant Pershing is the strictest
Of disciplinarians as is proved by the
final subsection of the hand to disci-
pline. The members had been notori-
GUS for their walk. They had baffled
the efforts of all previous command
ants. No two of them had ever been
seen by human eyes to keep step. The
drum major had always conformed
his movements to theirs. Now all has
been changed. The band conforms its
steps to the drum major and is as &C
curate in its maneuvers as may be de-
sired. Lieutenant Pershing gives great
attention to details.
an the competitive drill in 1892 in
Omaha the battalion carried off the
Maiden prize. They were awarded
$l,500 in prize money and presented
with the Omaha cup. The event is
directly traceable to Lieutenant
Pershing's disciplinary ability"
Mentioned for Calamity.
During the three years that Perish
ing was in command the battalion
increased in men, equipment and pres
tige.
August 10, 1898, Lieutenant Perish
ing was mentioned by General Wood
for gallantry and bravery in action at
Ell Caney. He was then promoted to
major. He resigned his post as an
instructor at West Point to enter
active service in the Spanish-Ameri-
can war.
General Pershing was welded to
Helen Frances Warren January 26,
1905, in Washington, D. c., An invi-
tation sent to DIR. Senter and an AT
home, Tokyo, Japan" were exhibited
at the Central High school Friday.
Pershing was captain on the general
staff at that time.

ST. so and Down is Conant's
Way of Advertising It's Prices

The Conant hotel has adopted a
unique form of advertisement of its
prices. 1t is exactly the opposite of
the commonplace way of advertising
prices of most hotels. The Conant
prices are:
$3.50 and Down"
1.-THE idea of this is to tell the pros
pective guest the maximum price he
may pay. Then if he wants some
thing lower-priced he can have it,"
says Harley Conant. with the COM
mon form of price statement like
$3.50 and up" the guest doesn't know
what is the top limit and he hates
to come in and seem to be Cheap
With our system he knows the limit
that he can pay in this hotel and he
knows he can get rooms lower in
price"
Each and every room in the Con-
ant has private bath. And the furni-
ture in every room is OF the same
high quality, whether it is a $3.50 or
a $3.50 room. Fifty of the $50 rooms
rent at $3.50 a day, 100 at 81 and 100
at $3.50. And they are all beautiful
rooms. The lowest priced have show
er baths, the others tub baths. All
the beds have box springs and the
best of mattresses. The chairs are
tapestry upholstered. The bureaus
and tables have plate glass tops to
insure cleanliness. Adding this to
the tops cost $1,000 alone.
A hotel table of latest design is
part of the furniture of each room.

Washington, Sept. 14.-Increased

ing from east of Chicago to Pacific

the Interstate Commerce commission.
The new rates represent increases of
from 20 to 80 cents hundred pounds

The Conant hotel is named after a
mother and son who now have more
hotel property in Omaha than anyone
else.
They are Mrs. Mary H. Conant and
Harley Conant
They operate the Sanford hotel,
Nineteenth and Farnam streets, with
200 rooms, and the new Conant
hotel, Sixteenth and Harvey streets,
with ESQ rooms, total of $50 rooms.<
They have nearly 200 employees on
their payrolls.
Their career in the hotel business
is interesting. Twenty years ago Mrs.
Conant launched into business with
out much money, but with plenty of
pluck and executive ability. She
founded the old Bachelors hotel at
Twentieth and Farnam streets.
This hotel prospered under her
management, and IL years later, in
1910, she, with her son, Harley, took
charge of the original Sanford hotel

glass top.
All the rooms are beautifully car
peted in velvet Wilton carpet into
which the foot sinks luxuriously. The
rooms and hall on each floor are car
peted in the same colors and designs.
Altogether there is an air of hon.
mess and comfort about the rooms
in this hotel and they are removed
from the noise of the street in a sur
prising degree.

In 1914 they opened the Harley no.

About year ago they sold this to l.

When the new Sanford hotel was
completed in January of the present

it in competition with the adjoining

Canning Report.
Editor Dispatch

Editor Post-Dispatch:--
The follow
ing is the report on canning done
by Roberdel Nos. l and 2, super.
vised by Mrs. G. G. Terry.
Last Spring | asked the officers
of the various cotton mills of
Rockingham vicinity if they bear
the expense of a canning super
visor for their respective mills
for four months during the sum-
mer. Messrs. T. c. Leak, Sam
and George Steele, William En-
twistle and Claude Gore readily
consented.
Mrs. George Terry was ap-
pointed supervisor of the two
Roberdels and began work May
10th, and her clubs were we'll or
ganized by the first of June, when
she went with me to Raleigh to
attend a two weeks canning in
stitute at the A. &. E. College.
The work was started rather late,
and so the mill gardens were not
planted with any thought of can
ming, but everyone appeared
pleased at having this work and
did their best to raise a surplus
for canning. The Supt. of each
mill bought two Gamers for each
mill; also erected a nice cannery,
well screened. Mrs. Terry alter
mated between the two mills, one
day at No. ! and the next atNo. 2,
teaching and helping The dry
weather cut the gardens short,
but despite this the results have
been very gratifying. The ladies'
put up canned goods to value of
$123255. as follows: 1850 cans at
20c, $472. 2427 quarts in glass at
t25c. $6o6.75. 769 glasses jelly at
20c, $153.80.
Next year we hope to have an
I
earlier start, and include ALL
the mills.
