Fremont, Neb., April 11.—From the towns and cities come the pessimistic groans that modern woman is too busy with her bridge, teas, matinees and other anusements. “She toils not and neither doea she spin” is the mournful wail. But the little town of Cedar Bluffs, Saunders county, has produced a woman, mother of four in a nine-room home, who has earned for herself several hundreds of dol lars and won national recognition as a chicken fancier of no mean ability in addition to her regular household duties. Mrs. Charles William, jr., whose husband is a successful livestock feeder and president of ths Farmers and Merchants bank st Cedar Bluffs, has been ususually busy this spring Years ago she adopted a flock of chickens as a hobby with the sole Idea of eggs for the family. As suc cess came, Mrs. Williams made a scientific study of the chicken busi i ness and in many states in the middle west she has captured prizes with her exhibits. Thorough-Bred White Risk. Mrs. Williams raises and sell thoroughbred Whltn Rock chickens and each fowl is a source of pride to the owner. After 25 years of ef forts, she has won a place In the chicken world as an authority. Mrs. Williams attends all poultry shows that are of any importance. In 1925 she won first prize at the White Rock show In Omaha. The next year she captured first prize at the ties Moines central division show. She took first prize at the state fair last year and has won more blue ribbons for poultry than anyone In this sec tion. Mrs. Williams keeps apace with improvements. Her chicken houses are all heated and equipped with elec tric lights. Everything, including the brooder house, is arranged in a systematic and modern manner. At last reports Mrs. Williams had 250 chicks with 2,400 mere eggs to hatch in a short time. Just this spring she installed a new brooder that holds 2.400 eggs. Orders From Everywhere. Her reward comes in orders from all over the country for her chickens. In addition, customers in Cuba and Canada rely upon the Saunders county woman to supply them with thoroughbred chicks. She IS a staunch believer in advertising and points to h»r advance orders as proof. In caring for this business, Mrs. Williams by no means neglects her largo modern nine-room home south of Cedar Bluffs, and her four chtl ilren. She has the reputation of be ing an immaculate housekeeper in addition to her fame as chicken —r and shrewd business woman. 11'/ husband heads the leading Wink at Cedar Bluffs, owns and oper as a farm of 240 acres and leases .so acres.

Nebraska Indian Fighter on His First Visit to Omaha in 49 Years “Omaha ain’t what It was the first time 1 saw her," declared I.. M. Ken nedy of Alliance, here last Thurs day. Kennedy has lived in Nebraska 74 years, and this was his first visit to Omaha since 1876, and his third visit -since 1851, when he escorted his parents across the Missouri river from Iow'a when he was 3 years old. “I've been too busy to do much running around," explained Ken nedy. “Wouldn’t have come down this time if it hadn't been that my eyesight shows signs o’ failing and T don't hear quite as good as I used to. So I just took the train and came down to get treatment. Mighty glad I did, too; for a man that ain't got good eyesight is missing a lot these days, especially here in Omaha.” Before the civil war, Kennedy was a wagon boy on the first lap of the old overland train between the Mis souri river and Julesburg. Too young to enlist in that war, he did get Into the Indian war game in 1864. It was in 1863 that he accompanied a wagon train from Nebraska City to Jules burg. arriving there the day after ata Indian massacre. The Indians bad sacked and burned the town, and men, women and children had been lashed to wagon wheels and wantonly mutilated. Sought Recruiting Office. "That sort o' sot me against In dians." mused the old Indian fight er. He sought the nearest recruit ing office and enlisted for the period of the Indian uprising. He became a member of Company C, First Ne braska cavalry. For a year he rode as a stage coach guard. “Kver kill any Indians?" was asked of the old-timer. “Well, I shot at a lot of them, and I used to be considered a purty good hand with a rifle,” waa the non eommital reply. Kennedy'a parents settled in Pawnee county, and It was there that he went to live after he had served 1ns time fighting Indians. There he was married, but in 18S6 he pulled up stakes and followed the urge to get farther west. He homesteaded in Box Butte county on a homestead just west of Alliance. T-ater, he con ducted a store and the postoffice at Burbank. Since the death of his wife six years ago he has been liv ing with his daughter, Mrs. James Scott at Alliance. Bluffs “Big Town" Then. "Of course I don't remember my first visit to Omaha." said Kennedy. "I was only 3 years old, and I reckon there wasn't much to remember, anyhow. I remember father telling that Council Bluffs was the big town, and Omaha only a shack and tent village that would never amount In anything. But I remember Omaha as I saw it in '76. It was some town even then, but T didn’t dream It would ever grow Into the Omaha of today. I reckon nobody else did then, either. Why, if any of us fel lows then had dreamed of Omaha be coming that it is today, we'd a hung up our hats and stayed. "But," continued the old fighter, ‘I reckon we'd a missed a lot o' fun we had out on the edge o' things. If I’d a stuck here in Omaha I wouldn’t have known Colonel Chev Ington, my old regimental command er, nor Bill Cody, nor Doc Middle ton, nor a lot other old-.imers. And I couldn't a had half as much fun her# as I’ve had out there. Visits Mayor Jim. "I’ve been having a mighty good time here in Omaha, but I'm begin ning to feel kind o’ cramped. And these pavements get mighty hard. I'm not going to let another 49 years go by before coming to Omaha again.” While in Omaha Kennedy visited Mayor Dahlman, whom he knew in timately in the old days when Mayor Jim was riding the range in western Nebraska. "I don't know what kind of a mayor Jim Is making." remarked the Nebraska veteran, "but if he's mak ing as good a mayor as he (lid cow man. he's certainly getting away good."
