THREE TRADE EXCURSIONS
'
As Many States Will Be Visited by Com
( mercial Club Crusaders.
PLANS WILL BE MADE EARLY IN SEASON
liraaka,, Portions of Iowa and
Kanaaa. Sot Heretofore Covered
f Will Re Taken la
Thla Year.
Three, trade excursions will M planned
for the Commercial .cub this summer. The
two miide laat aumiher werv etnlnentlr
Fiior'PBful. and the trudc e'xtciiaioy com
mlttee,' rt )iparlng (or thU ailmmer'a
campalcn, la much encouraged by the aat
faction , expressed by th Jubbera over
the results of the last une.
- Detailed plana for all three excursion
will be made early In the -raunn, and the
jobber will have to pledge before tlio
flrat one their repreaentatlon and payment
.of their share of the expenaea for all three
trlpa. The main reaaou (or thla la that
under the old plan of urrangliiy for each
trip aeparately, two weeka' hard work
waa required of the chutrnmn of th com
mittee before each excuialon. The new
plan will put the bulk of the work at the
beginning of the aummcr and make the re
mainder of It comparatively easy.
' Another reaaun la that eome of the Job
bers become tired and do not go on the
laat trip uneaa pledged to do so. The
third trip of laat aummcr, planned for
northern Kanaaa ami eastern Colorado, fell
throuRh on account of the Indifference of
the jobbers, or rather, they had planned
their vacations for about the' name Umo
that the excursion was scheduled. '
Three States to Re Vlalted.
One trip will be made In Kansas, one in
Nebraska and one in Iowa. In ' former
yeara Nebraska has been pretty well cov
ered by the club, but there remains a
southeastern irroup of counties, from Bea
trice and Lincoln east, and frorr. riatts
mouth south, to which Chairman Yetter
saya considerable attention ought to be
given. This la a territory where thj
strongeat of competition Is shown Omaha
by Kansaa City and St. Joseph, and the
Johbbera feel that they ought to have a
larger share of the trade. A trip of about
three days will be taken through theso
.counties on the Burlington. . .
On this trip It probably will be decided
to visit the four southwestern Mjtintli-a In I
Iowa, on the Burlington and Wabash.
Another excursion will be over the Hock
Island in northern Kansas, the principal
towns being Belleville, Mankata, Smith
Center, Norton and Colby. This country
never has been canvassed as It vhould be
bv the Omaha wholesalers, and conse
quently Kansaa City and St. Joseph have
the biggest part of the trade. There is
np reason Why Omaha can.iot have Its
hare, says Chairman Yetter, 'or the Rock
Island gives aa good aervlce rrom this city
ns any of te roads do from the Missouri
cities. Last year's trip to this section
was planned to Include a day's outing at
Pike's Peak, but the idea la to attend
strictly to business this summer.
A third trip will be made into Iowa on
the Northwestern, taking in the towns in
the vicinity of Rockwell City. Carroll.
Jefferson and Boone, and returning ovef
the Rock Island from pes Moines to
Omaha. Omaha competes here with Sioux
City. Uea Moines, Kanifnb City and St.
Joseph.
A on day's trip over the Ashland-Sloux
City extension of the Great Northern la
talked of. A stop will be made at each
town and the jobbers will make tin ac
quaintance of the merchants.
None of these plans has been definitely
decided upon by the committee, for It haa
not yet bi-en called together for this sum
mer's work, but the talk of the members
of the committee Indicates that such a
schedule will be carried out. It is the
schedule which Chairman ( Yetter will rec
ommend to tho committee.
Mr; Yetter says It would be a good plan
to run a trade excursion over the North
western road to Shoshone, In Wyoming,
when the extension to that place 1b com
pleted. All Wyoming in naturally Omaha's
trade territory, he says, and the jobbers
ought not to slight any of their opportuni
tics.ln that state.

The
Food Value
of a Soda Cracker
You have heard that some foods furnish fat,
other foods make muscle, and still others are
tissue building and heat forming.
You know that most foods have one or more
of these elements, but do you know that no
food contains them all in such properly balanced
proportions as a good soda cracker ?
The United States Government report shows
that soda crackers contain less water, are richer
in the muscle and fat elements, aud have a much
higher per cent of the tissue building and heat
forming properties than any article of food made
from flour.
That is why U need a Biscuit should
form an important part of every meal They
represent the superlative of the soda cracker, all
their goodness and nourishment being brought
from the oven to you in a package that is proof
against air, moisture and dust the price bcinj
too small to mention.
