Bill Cole Tdkes Omahoe
. To the Nebraska Fair
What is an. "Omahoe ? This Ques
tion is being asked by many people
- daily who chance to meet Billy Cole,
erstwhile amusement pursuivant. The
answer to all is the same: "The handi
est and most efficient garden tool of
all the times." Mr. Cole has entered
' the manufacturing world and is now
getting prepared to introduce a pat
ented and labor-saving cultivating de
vice which ', he calls "the Omahoe."
. Its novelty draws forth the interest
I, of all who chance; to. see it "
It will be manufactured in. Omaha,
in fact it is being manufactured here
. and will be given its first public show
ing at the Nebraska state fair next
week, where a retinue of demonstra
tors will explain its practicability as
a ground mollifier, a planting tool, a
, weed destroyer, lawn trimmer and a
dandelion digger,
Its construction is' ' most simple,
consisting of a swinging blade of su
, perior steel, sharpened on both edges
which give relatively the same pur
poses with a forward and back mo
tion. Special machinery is being rap
idly installed at Twenty-second and
Nicholas streets for a large produc
tion. ' V ," ' '

CULINARY SCIENCE
URGED ATSTATE UNI
National President of Oreeters
of America Heads Movement
for Establishment of New
Chair at University.
R. D. McFaddan, proprietor of the
nw Pathfinder hotel at Fremont, is
leading a movement started among
hotel men to have a chair of Culinary
Science added to the course in the
University of Nebraska. , v
"I have written to Prof. Pugsley
and Secretary Danielson in reglrd to
this matter," said Mr. McFaddan. "I
would like to see this state become a
leader in this movement, as it is un
questionably vital to the general
health of the people to secure better
cooking. In order to protect the peo
ple who become sick we have strin
gent laws concerning the qualifications
of a doctor. Would it not be better
'to have stringent laws to prevent peo
ple from getting sick. There is no
question but that a large percentage
of sickness is caused by improperly
cooked food."
Letter to- Danielson.
Following is the letter sent by Mr.
McFaddan, which' is self explanatory.
For many year the International (stew
ards' association of America has been pro
moting the idea and proposition (or the
establishment of a national vocational train
ing school for hotel employes. After they
had robbed their treasury andTiiafd up many
thousands of donated funds they wera forced
to abandon the achem.
Recently Henry J. Bohn, editor of the
Hotel World, has been commissioned to
raise a $1,000,000 endowment fund for the
establishment ot such a training school and
taking over the International Stewards' as
sociation's Jnterest in the Eunice, Ind.,
proposition.
In contemplating such a school It oc
curred to me that If-any student from
Nebraska desired to learn professional cook
ing thu distance to Muncle, Ind., or any
other slngle'point In our country might act
as a hardship and cause him to abandon
the Wea of becoming a professional cook.
This thought ' caused me to evolve the
ldaa that the subject was of sufflcent Im
portance that our state universities should
have a department nf culinary science
or professional cooking and I offered a reso
lution at the Boston national convention of
Oreeters of America that we all use our
influence, to the end that the right parties
become interested In the work.
It occurs to me that the state of Ne
braska has a glorious opportunity to set
the pace In this matter and I offer you
the suggestion for what It may, be worth,
backing It up, however, with .the fact
that our governments, both state and na
tional, are'spending millions to Insure the
purity of the raw materials used In cook
ing, but, so far as I know, not a dollar
In being used to encourage proficiency la
the preparation of the foods. I will appre
ciate your earnest consideration of this
lda and I know that It- the taxpayers of
Nebraska are finding It 'profitable to pro
mote and encourage our young men and
women along educational lines such as are
now offered In the various departments of
our university, such as literature, the lan
guages, chemistry, medicine, agriculture,
dairying, dentistry, pharmacy, law, Journal
Ism, physical training, .etc., anil avert do
mestic science, It would only be a step
further to establish professional cooking
or name It some other suitable term. The
best evidence that our nation Is short on
cooks comes directly to my... attention
through my recent effort to secure cooks
for Nebraska's portion In the cantonment
camp at Des Mines.
