Becker Manager Visited Corn Show at Omaha and Horticultural Exhibit at Council Bluffs. D. W. Foster a prominent farmer of Liberty Precinct was a Plattsmouth visitor Monday and Tuesday taking in the corn show at Omaha and the horti cultural display at Council Bluffs. Mr. Foster is a practical agriculturalist and can appreciate anything that comes from the farm or orchard, and is a good judge of quality and variety. He brought from the. . Omaha exposition a sample of cracker baked from alfalfa flour, which was fine in flavor and tex ture. Mr. Foster praised the exposi tion very highly and was much pleased with the talks given on grain breeding. He spent a portion of the day at Coun cil Bluffs at the horticultural show and in both instances could not but notice the difference between the displays from the west and those of the eastern fNarUioL-UiM-Upitcd,.-, Th?

Gary, head of the United State Steel corporation, vis ited the Bowery mission Sunday morn ing, and saw the hundreds of men served with hot coffee and ham sand wiches. Judge Gary made arrange ments some days ago to be present at this time. The "bread line," that Bowery- mission forms at midnight. From 1 to 3 a. m., about 1500 men are fed nightly, on this occasion there were 1467 men in line. With the judge were Mrs. Gary., Mrs.. Clark of Chicago, Avery and Captain Henry Demar, mine owner from : the west. Judge Gray gave the mission a check and Captain Demar contribute .$1000 altogether the donations amounted to nearly $4000. The party talked with the men in being there. No work and no chance to make a living. Captain Demar said he could now get men to work in his mines out west. The pubject of trans portation td places where work could be obtained was raised and it possible that Judge Gary may propose some sort of legislation which will allow men secicing employment th le transported at public expense. The Bowery mission is under the superintendence of Rev. Jo:::i G. Hallimond, and he feels that Judge Gary's visit may result in much good. ' Second Annual This is an Easy Test.
