Lubbock Business
Men to Observe

Commerce, Junior Chamber Of Com
merce, and American Legion has re-
suited IN the agreement OF practical
" every individual business in the
city agreeing 90 close for five regu-
Tar holidays each year.
Heretofore il has been necessary
few days before each holiday to
get out and run a petition around
over the city trying 20 get some
agreement about closing, when and
for how long and then il was too late
20 get notice in the papers and folks
came IN from the country TO do shop
ping and found the stores closed
and the whole thing resulted in dis
satisfaction and confusion.
But under the present arrangement
every reputable merchant in the city
has agreed 70 close upon the follow
ing days each year without further
solicitation with the understanding
that the notice to be made in the
Lubbock Avalanche two issues before
each holiday, as has been done this
time.
These holidays are:
July 9Th.

Dairying in Nebraska.

On this page we print today an editorial
from the St. Paul Pioneer Press that ought to
be read and digested by every Nebraska
farmer. 1t is simple statement of how the
dairy cow has gained in importance until the
butter product of Minnesota now overtops in
value by millions the wheat produced in the
state. Once Minnesota was looked upon as a
banner wheat producing section; Nebraska has
outstripped Minnesota in that crop, and in corn
and hogs and cattle as wel and may easily
rival that land as producer of dairy products
1t is not that we do not send out many mil
lions Of dollars worth Of butter and milk from
this state; we are getting good start in the
right direction. Omaha is yet the banner butter
making center of the world, but that ought not
to satisfy the people Of the state. We have
room for many more creameries and butter
making plants. Cheese can be made here, just
as we'll as in Wisconsin or New York. Poverty
Of soil and climate drove the farmers of those
states to dairying, but in Minnesota and Iowa
it was taken up from choice, because the profit
in dairying was apparent.
Prof Frandsen of the University of Ne
braska has been active for several years in his
special line of endeavor, trying to interest the
farmers in dairying as a major rather than
minor farm activity. So far the success that
has attended his efforts has been sufficient to
justify his faith, although he looks forward to
greater things. He knows the possibility sf
milk and butter production in the state, Of the
food value contained, and has hopes Of some
day seeing Nebraska take its place in the front
rank of dairy states. Our present agricultural
wealth is source Of great pride and comfort
but it may be immeasurably increased by very
little proper effort

A Prospering Omaha Institution.

The Woodmen OF the World is of peculiar in
terest to Omaha for many reasons. Primarily,
it is an Omaha institution; it was born here and
has grown to healthy proportions in harmony
with the city. Joseph Cullen Root, in company
with F. F. Roose and J. D. Van Valkenburg, laid
the foundations of this fraternal insurance or
aanization here in the summer of 1891; Alpha
camp, first of all the local societies OF the w. O.
W., was formed that summer and still is pros
porous and vigorous. From its hopeful begin
ming the society has spread until it covers
the entire United States. 1t has been divided
into different jurisdictions, but the parent body
remains the great center of its activities. One
evidence of its strength is the magnificent head
quarters building, monument to the vision of
its founders. Another thing of immediate con-
Germ is that many millions OF dollars flow through
Omaha each year because that headquarters is
maintained here.
Only the members of the society are mmedi-
ately concerned in its internal affairs. To them
the public may we'll leave the settlement OF any
differences that may arise in connection with the
management OF w. o. w. business. If Mr..
Fraser remains as executive head OF the organ
ization the fact is fairly conclusive proof that
ne IS acceptable 10 majority Oh the membership,
because the w. O. w. is democratic institu-
ton Insurgents" are within their rights in op-
posing him and his policies, yet as long as he
has the support Of enough of the members to
give him control, he can rest on fairly solid
foundation.
"Oust Fraser" may be welcome slogan for
the opposition faction Of the Woodmen of the
World, but Omaha is not likely to take kindly
to it if it be interpreted to mean the disruption
OF an insurance organization that is solvent and
endeavoring to maintain its capacity for meeting
its obligations and caring for the dependents OF
deceased members

Lower Fares to Omaha.

The concession of lower fares to Nebraskans
wishing to visit Omaha the final week in August
is like old times Nothing so stimulates business
as do bargain rates, and Omaha's Merchants
Market week may be expected to draw large
number Of visitors, many here on business, but
many others for pleasure. Instead of coming
alone merchants from out in the state will take
advantage Of the lowered fares and bring their
families, and their neghbors also may be ex-
pected to seize the occasion.
All this signifies more traffic for the railroads,
and it is hardly to be believed that they will lose
money by the grant Of one and half fare rates
for round trip tickets. This arrangement indi-
Gates coordination between the business men
of Omaha and the railroads that is to the general
benefit There should be more excursion rates
such as this-certainy the offer should be re-
peated during the fall festivities of Ak-Sar-Ben.

Completing Capitol Frleze.

For thirtytwo years visitors to the capitol
in Washington have been told by the guides
the story of 1.-The uncompleted frieze" Years
ago congress employed an artist to paint on the
walls of the rotunda frieze which was to rep
resent the progress of great events in American
history down to the time of the completion OF
the work. The painting never was finished, the
death of the artist putting an end to the labor.
Eight years ago Senator O'Gorman OF New
York introduced a resolution providing for the
completion OF the work by painting into the va
cant place one picture representing Grant and
Lee clasping hands at Appomattox, and an
other representing the Panama canal in opera
ton.
The New York seantor's resolution simply
started again the od-time debate as to the most
fitting historic events to be represented in the
mural picture. For some time the debate went
on, and then came the great war with its un-
escapable motive. The Grant and Lee and
Panama canal suggestions gave way before the
spirit OF the Argonne and the Meuse
The capitol frieze finally is to be COM
pleted. Congress has made the arrangement,
the artist has chosen his subject, and the work
is on. 1t is probable that the lawmakers will
be grateful for relief from the criticisms which
have come to them from the public every time
one of them attempted to give advice III the
matter-Chicago Evening Post.

Secrecy" and the Senate.

Animated BY a zeal born Of his position as
leader Of the democratic party. Senator Pat"
Harrison of Mississippi has arrogated to himself
the position of chief nagger of the administra-
ton Just now his pretext is that treaty is
being negotiated in secret" between the United
States and Germany, and he demands to be given
full information as to the steps so far taken.
Senator Harrison, who succeeded James K.
vardaman in the upper house, was one of that
devoted group who patiently waited until Wood
row Wilson got good and ready to present what
was prepared at Paris and ratified at Versailles
He sat in the senate when the president of the
United States declined to give to that body any
information whatever with regard to the treaty
or its contents He is familiar with the fact that
the treaty had been published abroad, was being
hawked about on the streets of Paris, and that
after a copy had been received in this country
by Wall Street banker, and a New York news
paper had had it sent from Paris by cable and
published its text in full, the president still
showed disnclination to give information to
the senate, and was rather miffed that knowl-
edge of the contents Of the precious document
had been gathered without his permission.
Such record, however. doesn't mean any,
thing to a hard-working Mississippi democrat,

Banks and the Guaranty Law.

According to one view, the Nebraska deposit
guaranty law has justified ITSELF in that it has
protected the depositors in twenty-five institu-
tions that have failed for one cause or another
since the plan was adopted. From another, and
perhaps equally vital point, the statute may be
questioned. Agreeing, as all will, that the
safety of the deposit is of prime importance, the
next thing to determine is whether that security
should be attained by the process Of insuring it at
the expense of all banks, or whether it should
rest on the old-fashioned honesty and sound
judgment of the bankers. Under existing prac-
tice the responsibility for unsafe banking is
shifted from the public to the bankers, and be-
comes burden on those engaged in the busi-
ness who are honest and careful, not on the in
competent, the dishonest or the unwise. Natur-
ally, this gets its chief criticism from the bank
ers, the public being content to know that it
has the protection afforded by the law, and so
is little inclined to go into the ethics of the
problem.
An honest banker is capable of great service
to his community. One instance will illustrate
this Last year the president OF a Nebraska
bank in stock-feeding community went to
every man who had borrowed money from the
vised him to turn his stock into cash as soon as
possible. His action caused much adverse COM
ment, aud lost the bank several customers
When the crash came, though, those who had
needed the warning found themselves on the
safe side Of falling market, and the foresight
of that banker is now praised as the salvation of
his patrons
Not all men engaged in business are capable
of adopting such bold course of action. Most
OF the banks undertook to sustain their custom
ers through the shock; some of them succeeded
but the majority registered heavy loss, and
share with the producers the effect of the depres
sion in farm prices. Recovery from this will be
slow, proceeding only as years OF plenty produce
a surplus to replace the loss. The lesson how
ever, will not soon be forgotten.
On the banks themselves the burden must
rest and this fact should be added incentive to
the exercise Of careful Judgment in all matters
pertaining to the business Under the law tie
wise and prudent, the strong and competent, are
sponsors for the unwise, the imprudent the weak
and incompetent The community, however,
Shares in this responsibility, for the "Walling-
fords" can obtain a foothold only where some
portion of the public is willing to take chance"
when it somes to banking. When men who have
money to entrust to the care OF bank realize
that guaranty law refers only to deposits and
has nothing to do with character, they will not
be so ready to go along with the enthusiast who
proposes to do a lot of things the careful man
persistenty avoids trying.

Federal Control Of
Stock Yards Blocks
Hearing at Lincoln,

Lincoln, Aug. ll.-(Special. 1.-The
federal government has taken juris-
diction over stock yards and as a
consequence hearing set in Lin
coin for August lo on prices for
corn and hay to be charged by the
Union Stock Yards company, South
Omaha, may be either postponed or
cancelled.
This was announced at the State
Railway commission Offices here to-
day when discovery was made that
new federal law, which puts all
stock yards under jurisdiction of the
secretary of agriculture at Washing
ton, D. c., has passed the lower
house and senate at Washington and
presumably has been signed by
President Harding.
The commission has wired to Con-
gresham w. E. Evans asking for a
complete outline of the text of the
act to ascertain whether the power
the power of fixing rates for feed is
vested in the secretary of agricul-
ture.
On August D the commission will
go to Omaha to investigate the stock
yards situation and conduct an in
quiry on freight train service with
respect to shelter and safety pro-
visions for caretakers of live stock
arriving at market.

Nebraska, Take Note
(From the St. Paul Pioneer Press)

(FrOm the st. Paul Pioneer Press)
Minnesota produces more butter
than wheat.
The value of the butter made here
during the year ending June 80 last
was $s0,000,000.
If this years wheat crop brings
in $60,000,000 all present expecta-
tions will be exceeded.
While Minnesota is we'll called
"the bread and butter state" per-
haps in the interest of accuracy and
logical continuity this binomial title
should be reversed so as to read
"the butter and bread state"
1t is rather hard to realize that
with us wheat no longer is king and
has been dethroned and succeeded
by the gentle cow as queen. II
seems that there is no Salic law OF
the farm which forbids the descent
of the crown Of production through
any but male lines. Anyway. this
being the age of female supremacy,
the outcome should have been antici-
pated once the contest between King
Wheat and Queen Cow began.
Not only does our butter produc-
ton exceed our wheat production in
value, but it is increasing all the
time while wheat is gradually being
showed into the background in this
era of diversified farming. In 1910
we made 95.000,000 pounds of but
ter. while during the last year the
40,000,000 pound mark was reached,
We may expect very large addi-
tions to our dairy industry during the
next decade. Northern Minnesota is
rapidly crowding to the, front as a
butter region and as the cut-over
lands are settled more and more at
tention will be paid to this steady
source Of wealth.
And just to emphasize how much
of a queen the cow really is, it might
be added that the value of Minnesota
butter produced each year is greater
than the value at the mines Of the
annual iron ore output Of the state
