Editor Tells Kiwonians Too
Much Attention Is Given
to Wheat.
"Corn 1b king," said R. B. Wallace,
associate editor of the Mid-West Ho
tel Reporter, before the Kiwanls club
Friday noon. "We are getting mixed
on our facts anil figures and paying
too much attention to wheat.
"Wheat production Is only « per
cent of farm produce, and Nebraska,
the third in corn production, sits
quietly and says nothing about it.
Omaha Is indeed the ‘buckle in the
cornbelt,’ but we are not keeping it
uolished as we should.
"I venture that not half a dpzen
mblic dining rooms in Omaha have
orn bread on their tables today, nnd
you would be surprised If your wife
had it tonight or served you fried
mush for breakfast.
"The corn grower has the factory
for consuming the raw product on
his farm. Corn fed to hogs and cat
tle is worth 50 per cent more than
when sold ns grain.
"The poultry of Nebraska today is
worth fully .as much as the wheat
crop, yet no one has heard of any
effort to subsidize the farmers' wives
on tho price of chickens and eggs.
Nebraska's corn crop this year is
44 per cent greater than last year,
or the value of the increase is greater
than tho total value of the state's
wheat crop.
"Tho nation’s corn crop this year
is 2,877,000,000 bushels. The 10 lead
ing corn producing states—Iowa, Il
linois, Nebraska, Missouri, Indiana,
Ohio, Minnesota, South Dakota and
Kansas—produce more than 2,000,
,000 bushels of that total, and the
three leading states 49 per cent of
the corn product of the 10 leaders.”

Robbers Outwit
Police in Chase
Pursuers Lose Trail When
Lights of Bandit Car
Are Darkened.
Lincoln, Nov. 30.—A band of rob
bers who Friday night made an at
tempt to rob the Cornhusker garage
here, escaped a squad of motorcycle
police early Saturday morning by
driving a high-powered automobile
over country roads south of the city
at a speed which at times exceeded
60 miles an hour, according to the
police. The last few miles of the
chase, the police said, were driven by
the bandits without headlight!.
The bandits, who had tui ned out
their lights after a desperate race
with the police for about six miles,
eluded their pursuers at a branch
road eight miles south of here, when,
because of there being no light to
guide them, and the dust from the
fleeing car almost blinding them, the
police could not see the fleeing auto
mobile end were forced to abandon
the chase.
It is believed by the police that
the gang is the same that later in
the morning cracked the safe In the
office of the Evans Laundry com
pany here and escaped with cash and
checks estimated at more than $50P.
The police say the gang which was
chased had plenty of time to return
to the city and pull off the second
Job.

EACH month a nationally prominent food laboratory con- >
ducts a contest to determine bread quality. Each month
Bakers from coast to coast submit loaves of their baking,
for examination and scoring. Each month the bread winning high
est score is awarded the Harry M. Freer Trophy for quality.
Last month, out of the two hundred and more loaves submitted BETSY
ROSS stood out over the others—far superior in quality. The fine materials
and the scientific care entering into the baking of BLLSV ROSS have made
it a leader—a loaf without a peer.
The winning of the Harry M. Freer Trophy by BETSY ROSS is more
than merely winning a prize. It is proof that “there’s a difference in bread
and that your bread is the superior to hundreds of loaves judged loa\es sub
mitted by many of the country’s leading bakers.
This impartial proof of quality will undoubtedly convince you that to se
cure the best you should always ask for BETSY ROSS by name.
