V v DEERING AT PARIS IN 1900 Tho Famons Chicago Harvester Com pany Received More and Greater Ilonora than Were Ever Before Accorded on Asaerlcan Exhibitor in the History of Expositions America may well feel proud of the Interest -which her citizens took in jtho Paris Exposition and the elaborate ex hibits which were prepared with con summate skill and displayed in a man ner not excelled by any other country Those of Harvesting Machinery in par ticular were most complete and inter esting The Deering Harvester Com pany of Chicago Americas foremost manufacturer of this line of goods was accorded the position of honor having contributed more to the advancement of the art of harvesting than any other manufacturer living or dead and with a greater array of important inven tions to Its credit than any other com- - pany in the world Visitors to the Exposition were prompt to accord the Deering exhibits supreme honors and it only remained for official mandate to ratify the popu lar verdict which was done in a man ner as substantial as it was well-merited Each one of the seven Deering ex hibits secured the highest award in its class In addition to four high decora tions the Deering Harvester Company received twenty five awards or twenty-nine in all as follows Decoration of Officer of the Legion of Honor Dec oration of Chevalier of the Legion of Honor Two Decorations of Officer 01 Merite Agricole a Special Certificate of Honor The Grand Prize Six Gold Medals Six Silver Medals and Eleven Bronze Medals including Deering Col laborator Medals The Decoration of the Legion of Honor was instituted by Napoleon Bonaparte when First Consul in 1802 and is only conferred in recognition of distinguished military or civil achievements It is the highest dis tinction in the gift of the French Re public The Decoration of the Merite Agri cole is an honor of but slightly less im portance which is conferred upon those who have contributed greatly to the advancement of agriculture An Official Certificate of Honor was accorded the Deering Retrospective Exhibit which showed the improve ments in harvesting machinery during the past century and excited the high est praise of the French Government Officials who had entrusted to the Deering Harvester Company the prep aration of this most important exhibit By special request this exhibit has been presented to the National Mu seum of Arts and Sciences at Paris where it has become a permanent fea ture of that world famed institution The Deering Twine Exhibit and Corn Harvester Exhibit both of which re ceived the highest awards have by request of the French Government been presented to the National Agri cultural College of France There was no field trial either offi cial or otherwise in connection with the Paris Exposition but the most im portant foreign contest the past season - was held under the auspices of the Russian Expert Commission at tha Governmental Farm of Tomsk Siberia August 14th to 18th All the leading American and European machines par ticipated and were subjected to the most difficult tests by the Government Agriculturist The Expert Commission awarded the Deering Harvester Com pany the Grand Silver Medal of the Minister of Agriculture and Domain which was the highest award The Deering Harvester Works are the largest of their kind in the world covering eighty five acres and employ ee 9000 oeonle They are equipped with modern automatic machines many of which perform the labor of from five to fifteen hands This Company is also the largest manufacturer of Binder Twine In the world having been first to produce single strand binder twine such as is in general use today making over a third of the product of the entire world Tho output of its factory for a single day would tie a band around the earth at the equator with several thousand miles to spare The annual production would fill a freight train twenty miles long Made into a mat two feet wide it would reach across the American continent from ocean to ocean Deering machines are known as LIGHT DRAFT IDEALS consisting of Binders Mowers Reapers Corn Har vesters Shredders and Rakes This eompany exhibited at the Paris

the Mutual Hog Insurance Law Nebraska Oil Inspectorship Mlscellaneoas Mat ten Here and There LINCOLN Neb April 6 The new fcupreme court commission will prob ably be divided into three distinct branches each to consist of three members Assignment of cases will be made by the court proper which will remain in full possession of the present supreme court rooms The commission will occupy a series of ante rooms on the second floor of the ajuildlng and some of the oral argu ments wil be heard in the senate chamber It is presumed the three judges will devote their attention al most exclusively to arguments on mo tions leaving the preparation of opin ions to the commissioners subject of course to the courts approval Governor Dietrich was interviewed by several persons interested in the appointment of the Nebraska commis sioner to the Pan American exposi tion There are already five appli cants for tho position and still other names are -frequently mentioned in connection with the appointment Among them is Representative Hib bert author of the -bill creating the office whor has strong endorsements and is making a vigorous fight for the place Although the governor has given no intimations it is under stood that he will select some one who has -had experience in managing exhibits or who has in some way keen connected with an exposition Various ideas for the states exhibit at tho exposition have been advanced Some would have the state represent ed by a typical sod house and others believe a small but modern cottage characteristic of Nebraskas most up-to-date architecture would make a better showing Whatever may be the nature of the building one thing is settled and that is that no effort will -be spared to show to as good ad vantage as possible the agricultural and educational resources of the state The legislature enacted few laws which will in any way affect th3 in surance interests of the state The most important measure of this class is the act repealing the mutual hog insurance law The effect of the pass age of this law will be to prevent fu ture organization of these companies all those heretofore existing having failed or gone out of business An act to repeal the hail insurance law was introduced but because one or two of these companies are atill do ing business it was soon defeated Losses of TAve Stock HAY SPRINGS Neb April 6
