Rosewaler, chairman of the executive com mittee of the National Corn exposition, the i-iirr,ri nf the west are taking active tepa to promote the groat ahow which will he given In Omaha probably during the first week of December this year. President Wlnchell of the Bock Island road has asked W. B. Blddle, third vice president of the road, to give his special attention to the Omaha exposition, and Mr. Blddle writes to the association as follows: Your letter of February 19 to President Wlnnhell has been handed me by him, ow ing to the fart that he had asked me to give special attention to the work in wnicn you are engaged. I believe the Rock Island road, If not the pioneer, has at least been In the front Tank In the movement which has been growing rapidly during the last few years to create an Interest In the betler selection nf seeds and ImDroved methods of agri culture, believing that both the rallrond nH the farmer tirnflted bv it. We not only handled seed corn specials under the direction of the agricultural departments of the various states, but we have had for years an agricultural department of our own under the charge of a commissioner who devotes his entire time to this work. We are satisfied that the National Corn exposition-will stimulate the development of corn production and will be an Im portant factor In creating an Interest In agricultural science. It Is our purpose to id In every legitimate way In making your exposition a success, and our agricultural commissioner and other officers of this company will he glad to aid you In any and every wav that tney consistently can. Yours truly, W. B. DIDDLE. Third Vice President East Is Not Behind. Not to be behind the other roads In of. ferlng assistance to the big corn exposi tion, P. S. Eustls, passenger traffic man ager of the Burlington, writes as follows: Replying to your letter of the 19th to Mr. Millar. I want to express for myself and for the management of this company our deep Interest In the National Corn ex position enterprise, and I am particularly g'.ad to hear that such good progress has been made. I congratulate you. Omaha is a particularly favorable place at which to hold the National Corn exposi tion of 190. and If everybody takes hold with the proper spirit the exposition should be a pronounced success. While It. is true that much has been done to develop the science of agriculture, there remains much to do. ana there is nothing that the government or the people can push that will bring such quick cash re turns ss further development on those lines, and particularly will Nebraska, Iowa and a large similar area benefit by an In crease of knowledge of the science of rais ing corn. Arrangements have already been made to co-operate with you in a practical way on our road for the success of this enter prise and If from time to time you see how we can be or further assistance Just let ma know. Yours truly. P. S. ETT8TIR, Passenger Traffic Manager. Dlsarrwetal Condact of liver and bowels, In refusing to art, Is quickly remedied with Dr. King's New Life Pills. 2Se.
