Kin of William Henry Harrison
Runs Chicken Farm Near Omaha
- -- —— «
William Henry Harrison, III, uitli some of his chirks and Airedale pups?
William Henry Harrison, III. great
grandson of the ninth president of
the United States, is a chicken farm
er on the Dodge street road nine
miles west of Omaha's postoffice
building.
Today—the 82d anniversary of the
death of ills presidential forebear—
he is lord of 90 acres.
The lure of the soil was so great
that he turned aside from law class
es to enter agricultural college at
Lincoln and spent two years becom
ing a tiller of land..
He’s up with the sun every morn
ing and often is not finished with
his day’s work until midnight; incu
bators must be examined, the eggs
turned and heat made right, or eggs
must be fitted into trays and packed
with paper to keep them from fall
ing when they are turned mechanical
ly in lieu of the rolling they would
get were a hen to undertake the job.
Itlood Tells.
"Blood tells In chickens as well as
in men,’* Ilarrlson declared.
So he hatches nothing except eggs
from accredited flocks—those In
which the hens In their first year lay
no fewer than 95 eggs each.
The chicks he produces are sent by
mall in packages of 25 or 100 to
points scattered over all Omaha's
trade area.
His farm is now producing chicks
at the rate of 1,200 a week or 02,400
a year. Mail orders take care of the
output.
Twenty cents is the usual price for
a chick, and Harrison's figures show
that each costs 11 cents the day it

‘‘I’ve been four years getting

reputation grows, the business and
profits, of course, will increase.
Breeds Airedale Dogs.
"r resided In Washington Severn!
years before I went to school at Lin
coln. If my Washington friends could
only see me now! They call me
'farmer,' hilt I'm everything—I paint,
plaster, cement, dig wells, doctor
livestock, repair machinery, and I
don’t know what; a man Just begins
to do things when he turns fanner.”
Besides nursing incubators late into
the night, one a machine capable of
producing 4,fi00 chicks at one hatch
ing. Harrison breeds Airedale dogs,
rhiefly for pleasure. He Is becoming
interested in the livestock Industry
and is putting in purebred hogs.
William Henry Harrison, I. planned
to become a doctor. He quit his
classes to join an Indian war army,
rose in rank, became a general In
the war of 1812 with power grealer
than any held by any officer since
the days of Washington, and was
elected president after a campaign in
which political mass meetings were
originated and some of the campaign
"fodder” was "log cabin and hard
cider."
Buns in Famllj.
A similar switch in educational
plans has made William Henry Har
rison, III. a farmer, but will he re
main contented?
"Politics runs in the family,” he
said, "and I occasionally feel the fires
burning In me. I'm content with my
choice, but on nights when work is
rot so heavy I turn to my law books.
We have all been politicians, and I
may some day run true to family
form.”
Harrison has named his farm Kal
orama and galls i; a chicken hatchery.

Beautify Home
Walter Murray, Expert Interi
or Decorator, to Give Demon
stration April 30 to May 5.
Would you like to see kitchen, din
ing room, living room, bedrooms fur
nished piece by piece with curtains,
rugs, draperies, chairs, table, pictures
and everything else selected and ar
ranged by a man whose expert knowl
edge of home furnishings ranks him
as one of the leaders in the United
States in this field'*
These are some of the things Oma
ha people'can see by attending the
lectures ami demonstrations given in
connection with The Omaha Bee Bet
ter Homes exposition during the week
beginning April 30. The expert who
will build up the rooms on the stage
! before the eyes of the audience is
I Walter Murray, who is conceded to
be a foremost authority on interior
decoration. He was for several years
prominent as an extension lecturer
for the Chicago Art institute, lectur
, ing before hundreds of audiences in
northern and southern states. He
also was formerly director of the New
York School of Practical Decorating.
Vses Ordinary Materials.
Mr. Murray accomplishes his re
suits in transforming ugly and unat
i tractive homes into beautiful ones by
I the uso of furnishings and the mate
| rials that are readily available to
I everyone In town. Except for painted
' backgrounds to represent the walls of
j his rooms, Mr. Murray brings noth
ing with him, but uses In these dem
onstrations furniture, draperies, lamps.
] pictures, vases, rugs and other acces
sories from local business houses.
This is one of the great practical
values of Better Homes shows and of
these demonstrations—that of proving
to everybody that ail of the things
necessary to make a beautiful and
artistic home are right here at hand
"It is nor. necessary to spend $100,
1000 for an imported tapestry or a
painting by one of the old masters |
to make the home beautiful and artis
tic,” says Mr. Murray. "The essence
of true art Is simplicity. The first
essential of a piece of furniture, a
i rug or a decoration Is that It must
be useful—adapted to serve the pur
pos» for which It is Intended. Art
.Is simply the harmony of everyday]
things properly grouped to make
them serve their everyday purposes
best.
Question Box.
Just how this is done in the ar
! rangement of the different rooms of
the home is the chief theme running
through these interesting talks and
demonstrations by Mr. Murray.
