Margaret Dietl. and Marie Puis, two cf the eighth grade pupils. Har P v Puis and Ilenrv Hild. and the principal. Miss Van Duesen, went t ; Oaia'as on a field trip. j Wo a-rived in Omaha about 7:15 1 a. i.i. We went from the Union j d-pot to th.eV.Tohn Deere Implement ; company and from there to the Oma- j ha Daily News building, where we ! were taken through the building j and told how the papers were print- ed. AVe saw the press where the j paper run from a large roll weigh- 1 ir.tr about TOO pounds. It goes be- j tween cylinders, one on each side of the paper. On one cylinder is lead j p'ates with the letters or figures on j it. On the other is a soft felt. The j tw coming together make the print I upon the paper. As the paper comes j our t.f the press it is cut in differ- j ev parts and folded. They print,: about twenty-four thousand papers 1 an hour. j We next went where they made the mold of the lead which was I placed upon the cylinder. The lead j is kept at a heat of about seven hundred degrees fnhrenheit. It runs I into the molds like water, where it : allowed to t-ot. Then it is taken .if rr.d smoothed up and made ready to put on the cylinder. They were printing the "funny paper" and they give us each one. We went into a :' om next where they kept the names, of the subscribers on some kind of a board. Then we went up st::i--.; where they had the linotype n: a ch I no?. The next place we visited was the r icking house. When we first went in we saw the hogs coming in a row m hooks. A man was stamping them. We saw- where they were knocking the cattle in the head with a hammer. They kill over a thou sand head of cattle a day. then they hang them up and bleed them. We saw where they were cooling and s:. imping the beef. Next, we saw vhtre they were pulling the wool off the sheep. We also saw where they were making sausage, stuffing and tying wiennies. and also the smoking room. Some helpers were makiner cheese, others were making Oleomargarine. They had big tanks full of the Ilcomargarine and run water on to get the milk out of it. Further on they were making prints. From this place it went to the girls v here it was wrapped. They can wrap 2,400 pouifds in an hour. The packing house we went through was Swift's. From the packing house we went to the court house. We first visit ed in the superintendent's office un til Miss Van Duesen went to see if we could hear the trial. The law yers talked and then the jury was instructed by the judge. They soon adjourned until two o'clock. The trial was about a car accident. We saw the pictures when the accident happened. The next place we visited was the grain exchange. Men were gamb ling on prices as they came over the wires from Chicago and a man was writing the prices on a board where everyone could see. There was a ticker which would tell the price of the grain in Chicago. Whenever the grain would go up they would all el 1. We saw where they tested the grain. Corn was put in a glass bowel, oil poured over it, then it was heated until the water is out of it. The water drops into a guage which tells how many per cent of water is, in the drams of corn. One test was seventeen per cent water. Theyi ran some of the samples of wheat through a "kicker" to determine the amount of dockage. This machine separates the bad from the good. Some of the small grains went through with the bad, so they run this through the sieve. Part of the sample was taken from the center of the car of grain and a portion from other parts of the car. There are many pans of samples on the main floor. From here we went to dinner at the Y. W. C. A. We visited the Omaha Central high j school in the afternoon. The first semester Algebra class was working fractions. The Civics class was ' studying about the Panama canal, and who could declare war. From here we went to the Iten Biscuit factory. The guide showed us the new part of the building. Everything is white. They will move into this addition the first of the year. Then we went to the room where they were making the dough for the cookies. There was a large trough where they mixed the dough. They then put it into a machine that rolled it out very thin. As this shut the dough passed on toward the ovens, another machine cut them into oblong pieces. These were scoped into a tray and put into the oven. As one shelf of baked cook ies came up, a shelf of unbaked ones went down. The baked ones are sent down to the packers. The girls pack them in boxes after they have cooled. These cookies are allowed to cool about ten minutes. We saw some other girls dipping the cookie? by hand. They take a long tray of cookies and put a screen-like lid on it. One girl put this in a tank of chocolate frosting. Another girl soon takes this tray out and rolls the cookies around in some more chocolate. There were machines for frosting other cookies. A tray of unfrosted ones went under the frost ing machine and when it came out the cookies were all frosted. The guide gave us samples of the cakes and crackers. Then Iten company have an educational department for their employees. There was a sew ing club also for the girls, and they were organizing an athletic club for the boys. We saw the "First Aid" room. If one of the helpers get sick or is hurt, he is taken to this room. A nurse stays here all the time. We were shown the lunch room also. From there we went to the Weath er Bureau at the postoilice. Here we saw the instruments which are used to help foretell the weather. Some of these were the anemome ter, the thermograph, the double! Storage Yes, winter is here, and if the storage batteries do not give the best of satisfaction, bring them to us, and we will place them in first class condition for you. We have just added a new TUWGAR REOTiFSER for charging batteries, and are prepared to care for all your battery wants, having all needed psrts and re pairs. In addition we also carry an excellent line of new batteries. The Murray Garage L. H. PULS, Manager Spring is Coming K A few days off yet we will allow, but the days will soon be past, and we must be ready with the work when the time comes. Now is the time to get things ready on the farm. How about the implements, and the harness, do they need looking after? We are carry ing a full and complete stock of hardware, and at the best of prices. See us for anything in the line needed. We are carrying a good stock of horse collars and in fact all farm necessities. W. H. Puis Murray, The Selling Is making it possible for us to deliver the goods over the counter at interesting prices. All our prices are lower than the same goods can be bought for in the larger towns. For instance We are selling Sugar at $9.29 PER 100 POUNDS We are also selling our stock of blankets, while they last, at a discount of FIFTEEN PER CENT. F. t. wnsor THE SERVICE STORE MURRAY thermometer, the barograph, and the rain gauge. Wo went up on the roof of the postoffice. Here were instruments connected by electric wires with recording instrument-, in the office. The manager showed in telegrams which they receive from other bureaus. These telegrams were written in a few queer- words. He translated them for us and they told all about the weather, then, iie gave us some weather mai.s to bring home, and also seme charts. Th: wind was blowing twenty-five miles an hour when we were up on the roof, and it seemed like it was blow ing even harder. The last place we visited was the Museum at the public library. Hero we saw many things which we have studied about in "Ancient History." We saw an Egyptian mummy ; nd the case. One hand had f ilion oh, and the wrappings had conra away from tiome of the toes. We s some queer locking lamps that were used by the Egyptians, t-ome Baby lonian tablets. implements like those used iu ihc "old ston a.re" and the "bronze a no", and a tablet from the dining roam of Caesar. In another room we saw many painted pictures and in another room we saw things used by the Indians when they occupied our land. There were also many "revolu binary times" relics, Chinese, Japanese. Hawaiian and Phllipine pieces, an old woaden plow and some spinning wheels like the women used to run when the clothes were made at home instead of at a factory. From here we went to see "Pcre- P;jn", the train ed pony at the Burgss-Nash st"re. Then we went to a theater party at the Orpheum. th.r- la.-t ' place we went before he cmi home. (n t''e way to Murray some of the chib'rer tried to go to sle:'p, but toe oth,r! would not let them so they "ft home a happy, but tired an.l sleepy crowd. Batteries! Hardware Nebraska for Cash!
