own of telling how things are going In
Wall street. The downtown barber know
exactly when times are good and when
they are bad from the amount of patron

The high class Jeweler believe his busi

well known that financial people do not
stint their expenditures for Jewelry when
funds are plentiful, even though they may
have to scurry around tc dispose of their
purchase when depression comes along.

The- UHmore- V Pittsburg t Is an under
taking that up to this time ha been a
subject of more or less speculative gossip
as to whether It Is independent or has
behind It some established and strong rail
road Interest. At one time the latter Idea
did not seem to be warranted, owing to
developments suggesting that Its promoters
were in trouble or else had had differences
with a financial house In' Pittsburg
mrougji wnicn It obligations were being
settled. .
There still remains an element of uncer
tainty relative to the enterprise that not
a few people would like to see removed.
This much Is conclusive If It Is really to
be an independent road eventually the Hill

competition to meet Inter on.

the creator of the new grain "Emmer"
will lecture daily at
The OMfflha Lamdl Show
JANUARY 18 TO 28, 1911.
Nearly four years ago the United States Department of Agriculture introduced
a small amount of black winter Emmer into this country to be divided among
the leading agricultural scientists of the United States.
Among others a small amount was received by Prof. B. C . Buffum of Worland, Wyoming.
Prof. Buffum Added Millions to the Wealth of the West
by using the small fraction given him to produce a new grain which is the heaviest yielding small grain now
grown, and the most valuable of this class of crops for stock feeding purposes.
It is better than oats for horses and ranks with corn for fattening sheep or cattle.
It will produce more feed per acre than corn and can be grown at much less cost.
Come, Hear Prof. Buffum Tell About His Wonderful Creation
He will lecture at the Land Show every day it is in existence and his story will
be of great interest to every one interested in the welfare of the west,
The Omaha Bee
The Twentieth Century Farmer
wish to convince the people about the wonderful possibilities of the west and they are backing
up the Western Land-Products Exhibit because they realize that an exhibit of this kind will show
people more of the real truth about this wonderful section than any amount of pure talk; and their
real interest in the upbuilding of this empire is due to the fact that they realize that it is upon tlio
west that Omaha must depend for its future progress and greatness.

land in localities in which they were thinking of locating or buying for investment, that we have decided to establish a Land

This bureau will make investigations and gather data, so that it will be able to either answer inquiries direct, or give
parties wanting information the names of reliable persons to whom they can write.
When writing, address, Land Information Bureau, The Twentieth Century Farmer, Omaha, Neb.
Remember the dates January 18 to 28, 1911
