He Makes Very Good Living by Tasting
Own Brew in Coffee-roasting Firm
Judge Deplores :
Congestion in
iris
'jg.. y
Thomas J. Prcttyman makes a very cood livintr iut by drinking; coffee. He ii the chief coffee tasler
and buyer for the Fax ton & Gallagher company, one of the largest coffee roasting firms in the land.
A steaming tea kettle boils all day in his office. On a large, round table are dozens of cups, each with a
spoon in it. A delicate scale completes the equipment.
Cup after cup be brews all day long, each made with a sample from a known blend. By bis delicate
tate be determines which of the hundreds of samples submitted from the great coffee-growing plantations he
shall buy. '
Besides buying the coffee, he has to blend It. His largest single purchase was 25 carloads. Sometimes
the company has 100 cars en route at one time. -
Five Big Roasters.
Five big roasters arc in operation daily. These roasters bring the coffee- directly in contact with the
flame and bat it about with great paddles until it reaches the exact temperature of roasting. These roasters use
$1,000 worth of gas a month.
From the roasters it 'is dumped
into bis pans holding several hundred
pounds each. These pans bav.
ixrecn bottoms. v liy suction pipes
Attached to the bottom, the smoke
is drawn off and cold air. drawn
through the freshly-roasted berries.
Then the coffee is dumped into
the hoppers where it goes down a
tew floors and drops into a suction
cleaner which blows the coffee up
ward into another conveyor while it
allows the heavier foreign matter to
drop down into a waste hopper.
Runs Over Sifting Mill.
Next the coffee'runs over a sifting
mill where the smaller kernels art
dropped and the biggest ones arc
bent for the finest grades of coffee.
Next it proceeds to the grinders.
Conveyors carry the ground coffee
to funnels where it drops inio a
chute and is automatically weighed
in one-pound, two-pound, three
pound and 10-pound lots and into
cans of corresponding size.
Girls next clamp on the lids ana
pnste the labels on the sides of the
tans. And, 24 hours later, the coffc
is on the shelves of the gro.ccrs.
livery operation is by automatic
machinery and the coffee is not
touched by hands.

fair game. Now a farmer can ship
his livestock and get on a market
that is 25 cents per 100 pounds
higher than the day before. Or he
may'. fce 'a day JateTaiid. find prices
off 35 cents or. half a dollar. The
markets are. not .as stable as, they
were-before -the 'war-thcre is' no
government to them aj: all. Farm
ers feel pretty good to sec the njar
kets go up, but they know from ex
perience that they can go off just
as fast, or a little faster."
The banker listened, "without giv
ing any sign of dissent. Jt was an
old story to him every , one com
ing in contact with the farmers hears
it. There is a certain anfbunt of ex
aggeration in it, sis -even the speak
er would have admitted if he had
been pressed. But very few people
in the towns attempt to argue with
the men -from the country. In the
last two years merchants and other
business men have been made to rea
lize as they never did before the fact
that unless the farmers prosper there
is 110 profit for them. AH the farm
ers are seeking is a fair profit over
their cost of production. The coun
try towns have been won to his side,
and even' the interested attention of
the eastern cities which manufacture
goods to sell him has been obtained.
Not Alarmed by Jingo.-
The matter is not political, ' but
economic. After hearing the din of
partisan newspapers which have been
exaggerating the length and breadth
of the financial depression and blam
ing it on the national and state ad
ministration, the silence of trie rural
districts on political questions is
astounding. The ruinous propaganda
that prosperity never can return to
America until we have joined the
league of nations or rebuilt Europe
has not. made much headway. In one
small town a druggis'. was encoun
tered who said that although bis
sales had improved somewhat, things
would never be right in his town un
til Uncle Sam signed the covenant
of the league of nations. His only
match for political ardor was a man
who declared that a rise of 25 cents
a bushel for corn would mean the
re-election of the republican party.
People seem too busy with bread
and butter matters to take a great
deal of interest in the sham battles
of candidates for office. Here in Cen
tral City, as . elsewhere about the
state,' in town and country, people
are Working haider and saving their
money. A banker declares that some
who have owed accounts for years
are paying up part of them, and that
persons who were getting good
wages and spent them now are sav-inS-
Farmer In Best. Shape.
Merchants have ' suffered' a'1i'ttle
tkrouglr .this new thrift, but as one
of them says, when their customers
get on their feet again they' will be
better customers than .ever. ''
, "The man living. Beyond his in
come is' not a good customer,", jaid
this business man. - "AH of us were
wasting our time and most..of tjs liv
ing too high. This applies just as
much to town people, as ' to those in
the country. . The farmer is recover
ing quickest. While soirte in the
towns can't find work,, farmers are
feeding corn to thousands ' cf hogs
and the worst is over, : The. ground
may be a little slippery in spots, but
everyone feels it firmer under foot."

a. dividend from a country bank that

Merrick county is, the 'center of
operations for Heber Hofd, perhaps
the most extensive -livestock feeder
in the state. On his 10,000 acres here
he has 65.000 sheep, 5,000 steers and
4,000 hogs .that he is fattening for
market. His profit on the lambs alone
will reach $100,000 and perhaps go
much higher.
Truck Farming Pushed.
Contrasted with his immense hold
ings are the 10 and 20-acre farms
which are being pushed for sale near
Central City. Already some truck
farming is being carried on, with the
aid of irrigation, the water being
pumped from the subterranean
Platte. The vegetables are consumed
in the local market or in itighboring
towns served by trucks. lAccording
to the agent, $600 wortlof onions
was sold off a-half acre, last year,
and a similar amount of strawberries
off a smaller plot. This, of course,
is an experiment." While neither suc
cess nor failure can be predicted, it
is a sign of one of the most promis
ing things about Nebraska agricul4
ture. This is the willingness of the
farmers to attempt to adjust their
production to the demands of the
market, and to cultivate fewer acres,
but more intensively rather than scat
ter their efforts thinly over too wide
an area.' . - - - - -

Omaha Nurse to
Claim Fund Left
by Rich Rancher
Attorney Says Josephine Hil
Has Title to Gifts Meant
for Girl Who Refused
to Accept Tip.
According to John P. Tinley, Coun
cil Bluffs attorney, Josephine La
mona Hill. 19. student nurse at St.
Joseph hospital, Omaha, is the for
mer waitress entitled to $10,000 cash
and the 1,000-acre-ranch' sent by
Old Man Dexter, to a girl who re.
fused his tip. The money and prop.
erty has been received by a Chicago
"Miss Hill."
Toscnhine is the only girl named
"Hill" who. has worked at the Union
Pacific restaurant in Council Bluffs
for- several years, says A. J. Smith,
manager of the restaurant. .She says
she refused many tips from ranchers
while vorkinfg there, because it was
against the rules of the house to ac
cept gratuities.
The cirl to whom Dexter intend
ed to send bis gift is reported to have
worked as a domestic at the Jennie
Fdmundson Memorial hospital in the
Bluffs. Josephine never worked
there, but her mother was employed
there for several years, according to
Mr. I mtey.
Josephine yesterday accompanied
her mother to the Mayo hospital at
Rochester, Minn., where the mother
vill undergo an operation to correct
the effects of a fall six months ago,
in which she struck ber head and suf
fered 9 partial loss of memory.
Miss Hill' believes that she is the
girl whom Dexter intended to bene
fit, and that she, is entitled to the
money and property which the Miss
Hill :n Chicago received. The donor
has returned to England, however,
and it may be necessary for her to,
go to Chicago, or perhaps to Eng
land, to demonstrate the validity of-
her claim to the gut.

C. E. Chi'de. manager of tb

oppose the idea. ' ;'
Declares Plan Impracticable.
"It ii impractical and allows du
plication of work being done by ex
isting governmental agencies," he
said.
"The Interstate Commerce com
missioti should guard the interest
of the public, which is made up cf
all interests. Such a plan would re
quire' an organization similar to the
Interstate Commerce commission,
and would be a useless and expensive
governmental department.
Predicts public Opposition.
.."The public a a whole would op- '
pose any consolidation of railroads,
and the shippers would be a unit
against the railroads consolidating in
a few large systems. I lie national
chamber is on dangerous ground
when it suggests consolidation."
Manager . Guide favors railroad
matters being handled as they now
are, by the Interstate Commerce.
