No Chance for Cheaper

' "You need not expect any cheaper

Ford Allen, general dairy freight
agent for the Northwestern Raiload
company," from the Chicago head
quarters. Continuing, Mr. Allen
said:
"There is as much milk being pro
duced as normally, but it is going to
Europe for the consumption of the
United States soldiers and the allies.
Every ship that leaves an eastern port
carries large consignments of con
densed and evaporated milk. This
consumption has reduced the quan
tity of milk, used in butter manufac
ture and consequently greatly tut
down the production of butter.
"I don't think there is much to the
stories that farmers are killing and

Women who in the past have been

Only One of the Features
of Convention Here
This Week.
"Feed, fun, frivolity free!"
Tha't is (lie way the posters talk
about the big banquet at the Hotel
Rome Wednesday evening for the
delegates attending the Midwest Im
plement Dealers' convention in
Omaha.
This banquet is onlv one of the eii-i
tertainnient features that arc to relax j
the minds and spirits of the delegates
after the hard days of business ses
sions, ror there will be three davs
of these. The convention begins
Wednesday and continues until Fri
day night.
This Wednesday night banquet will
be given bv the Omaha and Council
Bluffs Implement and Vehicle club
atfcl will be complimentary to the dele
gates. The banquet will start at 6:30.
"Leave your pockethook at home
it will only be in the way here," is
the way the poster reads. "Stay at
home if you feel like making a speech.
There'll be no speeches." Vaudeville
artists from around the city will be
gathered to entertain the boys.
What is left of the implement men
will gather at the convention hall the
next morning. A strong program is
prepared and some important discus-
sions are coming up. C. E. Gallagher
of Coleridge, Neb., is president and
James Wallace of Council Bluffs is
secretary.
Implements are rapidly filling up
the Auditorium, where the implement
show is to r)e held in connection with
the convention. This has for a num
ber of years been a conspicuous suc
cess as an auxiliary to the convention
and it ill not be disappointing this
year.
