All horses sold at these stables arc sold under a full guarantee that they must be exactly as represented. Lit,' .!

The firm of Wood Brothers was established at Chicago m 1867, and the South Omaha house was opened In 1885, so that the firm of Wood Brother must be considered as a part and parcel of this Immense Industry. Wood Brothers are not only the oldest concern In the business, but are often re ferred to as the most progressive. Abso lute honesty, at way b; unerring judgment and quick decision are the qualities which have made this firm strong. They were the first to initiate "sales letters," advis ing the customer of the manner in which the transaction was made. They were the first to send out market information by papers and circulars. The founders of the "Market Paper," accepted as standard, and for years published over their signa ture the market quotations. The first to install a completo system of private tele phones (both Independent and Bell) throughout their yards, making it possi ble for salesmen at the yards to talk with their patrons at all points. The South Omaha market has enjoyed a phenomenal growth since Its organisation. More than 95 per cent of all the live stock received here last year was sold at this market. It Is the second largest hog and sheep market and the third largest cattle and hog market in the world. How much to . i a. MEAL. TIME AT THE LIVE STOCK EXCHANGE HOTEL, UNION of this is due to the high standard of effi ciency set by Wood Brothers cannot be known, but we do know that the high standing of this firm is well typified by its nanager, Mr. Walter E. Wood, who is recognized socially and commercially as the most popular man in the trade. Mr. Wood is ably assisted in the cattle department by Mr. Ben F. Roth and Mr. E. N. Munson, making a trio of cattle salesmen second to none In the business. Mr. C. II. Marling and Mr. Fred Huber are the hog salesmen and Mr.. William F. Farrar and Mr. Herbert Q. Carruthers sheep salesmen. They need no introduction to the live stock world, for their many record sales and the fact that their busi ness is increasing all the time is good evi dence of their ability.

"First you boll them, this, they say over there, to drive out the devil from the pork, which I imagine may mean to kill the trichinae. You know, sometimes when you fry pork chops you don't cook them en tirely through; and then again if you cook them too much you make them dry and hard. But Norway style you boll them first till they are thoroughly cooked and then you lay them In flour, taking up on them Just flour enough to cover them, and then you fry them tUl they are well browned.

ONE OF THE NAPOLEONS Boost for tho Nebraska Now . ttt Head of the Creamery Business. There is a great deal of newspaper talk nowadays about a creamery trust which is grinding the faces of the poor. It appears, from the printed stories, that all the west ern creameries, which are supposed to be In competition, are in reality under on man agement, the parent concern being; a Ne braska creamery whose same la known all over the world. The head of the Nebraska oreamery, and consequently of the whole system. If the stories are true, is a young man named George E. Haskell. Tho promised Investi gation may show that Mr. Haskell la a fiend In human form, but people who know him. and who have watched his progress, have so much admiration for the man that they'll be apt to overlook the enormity of his business. About fifteen years ago Mr. Haskell was operating a little, old-style creamery plant In a Nebraska town. The farmers brought their milk every morning, and it was run through a separator, and they carried awav their skim milk. The creamery was a little old wooden shack, and all the machinery and appliances were cheap and out of date. Haskell was young, poor and ambitious.' He cMARK H. BEETHAM. Manager and Salesman.

BILLIE BURNS. com- which r .- wanted to Increase his business, but it was hard to interest the farmers, who ltked the old plan of making their own butter and trading it for tobacco at the grocery stores So he conceived the idea of establishing agencies at the small towns In the neigh borhood, milk was received at these agen da, altd the cream sent to headquarters. The plan worked and Haskell gradually extended his territory until he was re celvlnr cream from every hamlet within 100 miles. That was the beginning of the pres ent system of creameries. It made Haskell the greatest man in the business, enriched him, and put the small co-operative cream eries out of business which was no loss to anybody, for they were always in trouble and the west used to be dotted with aban doned creamery buildings. Haskell Is far frpm being; the typical head of a trust. He never weighed more than 100 pounds in his life, and Is sick a good part of the time, he is a generous, warm-hearted, companionable man, who la beloved by thousands who are on his pay roll. He la a man who dreams big dreams, and has the ability and courage to make them materialise, and it is doubtless a sur prise to him to h am that he rs being classed with the robber barons. One little Item of his system is worth mention, he pays princely salaries to good men.
