'Th Commercial club Is naturally Inter ested In the letting of awards for Indian supplies," said Mr. Guild.

"No one In Omaha appreciates what Is going oa In th modest looking warehouse," he continued, as hs contemplated, the thou sands of samples c everything from sola leather, harness and bed springs to thread, lead pencil and shoe brushes. "A be tween Chicago and Omaha, the two points designated by the department for lettings, Omaha has thirty-two more bidders to Its oredlt than the bigger city, the exAot fig ure being 354 at Omaha and 323 nt Chi sago." While at the warehouse Mr. Guild saw award mad on groceries and was natur ally gratified to see the contract for 110 ton .of laundry soap fair to an Omaha oncera, but the Omaha boosting ohoid In the commissioner v. an struck by th coincidence that of all the bidders on gin ger the president of the Knights of Ak-8ar-Ben bad the best brand and won the award n W0 pounds of It.

By saving a baby boy from the savae attack of a gam rooster, "Dona" th Scotch collie of Mrs. Frances Folllnsbee, fiut South Twenty-eighth street, has be come a hero. Lawrence Savage, who lives at 600 South Twenty-fifth street and who has been a good friend to his neighbor's collie, is such a little fellow thst the at tack of a rooster was more than he could withstand. The bird had, him backed against a fence and was flapping its wing and pecking dangerously near tba boy's eye, when th dog. which was standing near its mistress and the boy's mother a few yards away, noticed th trouble. It rushed at the rooster, seised It by the neck and dragged It across the lawn. Before anyone could Interfere the fowl was dead, and, when it gave a dying flop, th dog renewed Its attack and completed the execution. The dog seemed to know that the time had come for strenuous action and saved the boy from serious injury before the older people could get to him. The dog has never before shown any tendency to run after the hens and roosters of Its mistress's neighbors and this Is the only case known of Its ever attacking one. Th boy Is very proud of his canine friend and plays with the collie very confidant that he Is well protected from any dangers that might threaten.

HOME OF INTENSIVE FARMING Tranafarmatloa of Holland's Farm Laad Wrought hy Chemical Fertilisers. 8om results of Intensive farming In Hol land are brought out In a report made to th Department of Commerce and Labor by Frank W. Mahin, United State consul at Amsterdam, who says: "Fertilisers are now extensively used In this district Stable manur waa used first, but in th present intensive farming chemical products are chiefly employed. Their use has caused a remarkable trans formation In Dutch agriculture. Land which one produced sparsely now yields abundant crops. Chemicals for fertilising purposes ar imported, but a supsr-phos-phat factory ha been established In Am sterdam which supplies much of the de mand. ."A feature of the intensive agiioulture la ths multlplcation of small dairy farms, which, by their ready consumption of grain and fodder, ar valuable customers of other farmers. The Increase of vege table products is another reeult of inten sive farming. The ar found to be es pecially profitable in sandy soil, some of which, without scientific fertilising, would be almost worthless. Larger farms ar till practicable, mainly in clay soli dis tricts, but even there the cultivation Is concentrated and Intensive. "Cattle abound, especially In the rich low lands of Frlesland, Utrecht and North and South Holland, where they are pas tured the greater part of the year. The total number of cattle In the kingdom Is estimated at nearly 3,000,000, more than half of which are milch cows. They are tenderly cared for, being blanketed In damp or cold weather In the pastures. As a matter of course, milk is good, plentiful and cheap (4 cents a quart at retail), and Is a universal beverage; more so, perhaps, than In any other country. "The latest calculation gives ths total annual butter and cheese product of Hol land as 143,000,00 and 17b.000.uoo pounds, re spectively. Of the butter, one-third is made on farms, the rest in tbe factories. Fries land Is the great butter province, North Holland la predominant in cheese. "The present farming methods is profit able for either renter or owner. It is note worthy that a majority of the Dutch farm ers are now renters, the proportion of rent ers to owners in the whole country being given as 67 and 43 per cent, respectively. The proportion in this district, however, varies greatly In different provinces. "For Instance, In Gronlngen 73 per cent of the soil Is farmed by Us owners, whereas In Frlesland Is per cent is tilled by renters. These variations result from historical cir cumstances or character of the soil. The percentage of renters has Increased for several years. The explanation given Is that Intensive farming requires mors work ing capital than the old methods, and that the owner, averse to risking this, prefers to taks ths high rent assured hjm by let ting hi land. "This condition has led to Increased at tention on the part of the government to insure success to the renter.

CARTER PARK IS DISCUSSED Fifth Ward Improvement Club De votes Session to Improvements. CRAIG TELLS OF FLANS ON FOOT Cornish Advises Members to Try to Get Iowa Property Owaera to Doaato Their Share of Land for Driveway. Carter park was the main Issue at the metln- of the Fifth Ward Improvement club, at th club's hall at Sixteenth and Locust streets last night. E. J. Cornish, park commissioner, and George Craig, city engineer, mad short talks to ths olub. Th proposed viaduct Is planned to run to the roof of a pavilion is to be built at th west end of Carter park on the Ne braska side of Carter lake. The roof of the pavilion will be made Into a roof garden overlooking the entire lak and th surrounding park. .Mr. Cornish said th first floor beneath the roof would be used for club purposes. On the bottom floor will be the boat house. A boat will be purchased by the city, which will make trips to all parts of the lak for a small charge. Th plans as -given by him ar looked upon favorably by' the board. A bath house has been proposed to adjoin the pavilion, where lockers would be ob tainable and baths would be free. Ths board is also considering putting up a bath house at the upper end of the lake for the older people and making a nominal charge. A driveway has been proposed to ex tend around the entire lake If land on th Iowa side Is donated. Mr. Cornish re quested the members of the club to try to get the owners of the land on the Iowa Bid of th lake to donate 120 feet of land along the front for tbe purpose of the driveway. In return for the land the park board will haul dirt to that part of the laks, raise the driveway above th high water mark and plant trees and shrubbery. It Is the present plan of the park board, according to Mr. Cornish, to plant trees and flowers. A small lake will be made In the midst of the woods which will be used for plcnio purposes only. A resolution was Introduced at the meet ing requesting ths park board to expend $10,000 annually on erecting and perfecting a public park at Carter lake. This how ever, was not adopted and was referred to a committtee at the request of Mr. Cornish, who said that the city was under contract to expend one-fifth of the park appropriation for a period of five years on thla park.

It may seem strange, but It Is nevertheless a fact, ob serves the Detroit News-Tribune, that Just as the face or hand is said to reveal the character of the Individual to those who are able to read and understand them, so the position of th feet Is no less eloquent of their owner's mood. The man who Is at peace with the world, content with himself and every one else, especially after a good dinner at which "ho has don himself well," invariably stretches his fest out In front of him with his toes turned up. One of the most fa mous portrayers of Falstaff always adopts this attitude as he sits drinking st th table. Mental contentment as opposed to thst which is purely physical la shown by the crossing of one foot over the other. If th condition becomes more marked one knee is crossed over the other, snd the free foot is often swung to and fro. The moment, however, ths individual becomes Interested In anything the swinging ceases and th freo foot oarls round the other ankle. Bashful people invariably alt with their toes turned in. Why this should he it is undoubtedly difficult to explain, but there is nq doubt about the fact. If the bash fulness runs to great embarrassment one foot, with the toes still turned In, seeks ths controlling influence of the other and pores Itself on the ankle of the other foot. If the bashfulness and embarrassment are noticed when the Individual la standing, cne foot is sure to be placed behind the other and be lifted up at frequent inter vals, while as the embarrassment Increases ths raised foot rubs up and down the calf of the leg whlrh supports ths body. The feeling of contentment Is so likely to develop in msny people Into a mood of laii nesi that It is not surprising to find there Is a certain resemblance between the posi tion of the feet in both conditions. In taUnesK, however, the knees turn outward and Instead of the fest being closely placed together at ths toes ths toe of one foot Is That Will Be of Interest To Pros pective Piano Purchasers Chickeriru& Sons $175 Henry & S.

Ask Pay for Damage to the Court Hous When Dynamited Plumber Thinks the County is Respon sible for the Damage by the Explosion. The county commissioners received a communication yesterday from J. J. Hannighen, ths plumbing contractor who stood a heavy loss In the dynamiting of the new court house last March, in which he assumes that the county Is financially responsible for the loss he suffered. He says that his part of the work Is nearly completed and asks the board when they will be ready to have him go on with the repairs on that part of the work which was dsmaged by th explosion. The board has taken no official action yet, but members have expressed them selves at different times ss opposed to any movement to mske the county stand good for the loss Incurred In the explosloni The matter will probably be carried to th courts. EXPERTS PLACED IN POWER Cities aa They Are Made la Uermany Based on Permisrat Tenure of Offlee. The German city has no mayor. It has an Oberburgermelster, who corresponds roughly to our mayor. His legal authority Is far less than that enjoyed by the patri archal executives of New York, Baltimore, or BoBton. In desperation over our Ina bility to watch a hundred men we decided to watch but one. In order to escape from a troublesome council we threw ourselves Into the hands of an all-powerful executive. But we did not Insist that the despot should be an enlightened one or should know any thing more about the government of a city than the council which we discarded. He need only be an active politician, an ambi tious busine! man, or an aggreeslvs leader. The bead of the German city is an ex pert. Both the OberburgermelBter and the assistant Burgermelsters make a profession of their callings. Nobody knows to what party they belong. And nobody really cares. They are like the managers of a great business concern and are employed by ths city council for that purpose, much ss they might be employed to manage a railroad. The present mayor of Berlin was a lawyer In Breslau. He waa elected to the council, of the latter city, became Interested In city administration, and de termined to make city administration a profession. Hs was chosen for a sub ordinate post and made such a success that he waa called to th mayoralty of Berlin, where he has been for many years. Dr. Adlckes, the Oberburgermelster of Frankfurt, has occupied that post for quarter of a century. Few men in Ger many can point to a life of more con spicuous achievement than his. He recently declined a post In ths interior department of Prussia. Oberburgermsister Wllhelm" Marx of Dusseldorf. csme to that city from a emaller town twenty years ago. He is a man of independent wealth. He rose to his present position and for twelve years has been mayor of the city. During these years he has builded aa did I'ericles in Athens and the Medici in Flor ence. And he has made Dusseldorf one of the most finished cities in the world. Tenure of office is permanent. If a mayor is re-elected, after his first term of twelve years, hs holds office for life. Frederic C. Howe In Bcrll.ner s. Certainly! Vou can expect strength from proper food.
