I AUDITORIUM TO
: SEE FOOD SHOW

l stration. r

i The best food show in Omaha's
history closed last night when the
? city auditorium was jammed with
people who wanted to- see the show
$ and sample the food products for
the last time of the year. It was
I a typical Saturday night changing
crowd. Early and late shoppers
j dropped in to see the show, while
t the regulars were all out in 'force.
The demonstrators and " salesmen
I- were on their' tip toes all evening
i until the supplies ran out, and the
I -curtain rung down until 1920.
t "This is the best food show Omaha
has ever held," says T. J. Cameron,
I secretary of the Omaha Retail
i Grocers association.
I "In making this statement I am
, taking into consideration the three
interested parties: : the public,' the
f manufacturer, and the jobber and
I retailer. A food show's fundamental
usefulness is to help the housewife
i solve problems of her every day
- supply ouying. misvcan oniy uc
done bv bringing her in direct con
tact with the food articles from
their" raw material state to the fin
ished product.
All Reach Objective.
"The ordinary food product must
pass through many stages of trans
formation before it reaches its ulti-
. ilia ic miiiiaiiviii . u .x..
i "The housewife is the one who
puts on the finishing touches. Form
er operations merely do the prepar
atory work in its different forms.
At a well conducted food show,
such as the onfc just closed here,
the various processes are explained
in wnrilj nnrl nrinted facts SO that
the real, student may become in
formed as to their successive values.
"The manufacturers pronounce
the show ff success because ( they
reached their ultimate consumers,
and in greater numbers than bad
be-n expected. The jobbers and re-
. tailers working with the manufac
tured product came in direct contact
. with the people they serve, as, after
all, the public eats.. The thousands
of visitorsV during show week got
more for their money than ever be-
fore. . '!' ' f '
Show Next Year, ...
"This show proves conclusively
that the retail grocers will have a
show next year, both bigger and
better, as the public wants it, ,the
manufacturers want it, and the job
bers and retailers want it, so a big
ger show next year is the answtr.
I want to sav right now that every
one connected with the show takes
its hat off to the Omaha Bee for the
wonderful support it has given us.
. In this I am speaking for all. of
those who were interested in making
the show the glorious success thai
it was. No enterprise dependent
upon attendance can be a success
without publicity, and The Bee has
f tri that it is he-
licii'inioii aiu . -

good." ''
"It's been a dandy good show for
. all nf n." savs Charles Olson, head
of the Olson Coffee company. "It
shows that a real food show can be
staged by the grocers of the city.
Not only as a citizen of Omaha, buj
as one who was interested in the
show. I want to, thank The Bee for
the way, its nublicity "was handled
this week. The - exhibitors spent
from $500 to $1,090 to put on a
. week's demonstration, and The Bee
gave the best serviee that any show
has ever had and we appreciate it."
All Praise Bee.
' R. V. Saltzgiver, McCord and
Brady company: -"Its been a good
show, a bir week; lots of business,
and everything ran along smoothly.
The iobbe rs interested will not for
get the part The Bee had in mak
ing the show a success." - ,
"Anytime the tjrocers association
of Omaha, tackles anything, it
means' success." says F. P. Fodrea
of Iten's. "When the time comes
for the next show you will find us
all rigged cut with a new factory
unit, and we'll -show some products
that will make Omaha sit up and
. take notice." '' ''.'
"We were simply covered up,
savs Max Miller of the Miller Cearl
mills. "The show was a good one
for us and we reached a host of
peoole in a very short time. We
will' be in next year's show in a
bigger way."
Want Same Booth.
"I have already told Cameron
lk. cam' Krnttl " CSVft
L, C. Green, of H. C. Dennis &
Co., "we are more than pleased.
B. L. McGuire..of Troco Nut But
'ter Co. said: "Its been a mighty
good show. The best I have struck
this year. We will be in the Omaha
show next year. Omaha is to be
' congratulated, and I want to thank
The Bee for the publicity it has
fiven the show, as publicity is what
rings the people and The Bee was
"certainly behind the local people all
through the show." A .
"We expected a light snow and
have been worked nearly to death,"
says F. O. Austill of the Genesee
.rure roou r couipj.
should be proud of such a food
show and we have already ordered
our 1920 : booth that's what we
' think of the .show." , v
- Does' Big Business. . , ,
One of the most pleased exhibi
tors 6i show week was B. MacEldon,
who has the western accjount for
the Beech-Nut Packing company,
whose product is sold all over the
world. Mr. MacEldron had to fight
to get his house in the show, then
tripled the business that he himseif
. expected to do, which was double
what the house said could be done.
"I want to make myself plain,"
said Mr. MacEldon, "when 1 I say
;- that the publicity given the show by
' The Bee was a mighty big factor in
.'making the show a success, and I
am one exhibitor who thoroughly
appreciate? it."
j i"We will be in the show next
year sore if the Omaha Grocers' as
; sociation puts it on," said A. H. Shel-
lenberg, who gave away a wagon-
load or so of popcorn and molasses
under- the trade name of Checkers.
"This has- been a: good show and
' every exhibitor is pleased at the way
it was handled." v
"Bigger than I had any idea it
would be," says J. P. Wilmont of
the Cream Whip company. "The

Touched by The Bee's Appeal For Little Byron Michael, Omaha Fathers and
Mothers Open Their Hearts to Care For Sunny Lad Who Faces Life of
, Gloom and Possible Criminal Care eer Father Flanagan," Experienced in
Correcting Wayward Boys, Greatly Touched.
Touched by The Bee's appeal for
12-year-old -Byron Michael, the
Beatrice boy who has-been com
mitted to the reform school for
stealing books from the public li
brary, several offers already have
come from Omaha homes to take
the child in and give him the op
portunity his tender age deserves.

office since the publication of the
boy's commitment to a reformatory
for nine years.
Attention also has been called to
the fact that reform schools for
boys too often have proven only a
training school for the penitentiary.
Little Girl Decides Case. '
Mrs. Frank F. Cole, 822 South
Nineteenth street, immediately be
came interested in Byron's case.
,She had talked the matter over with
her husband of offering her home
to the boy. She was seated at the
breakfast table with her , little 8-
year-old daughter Friday morn
ing when it was decided a welcome
to her home would be extended the
unfortunate child. '
The little girl was permuted to
decide the case.
"Papa always ,has promised I
could have a brother," the child
pleaded with her parents. "Why
not make this boy my brotherir"
Mr. Cole told his wife to call
The Bee office and speak for an
opportunity to adopt Byron.
Father Flanagan Interested.
Rev. E. J. Flanagan, director of
Father Flanagan's Boys' home, was
the first among those who do not
want to see the child spend nine
long years in prison - because he
stole a few books to' read. Father
Flanagan, whose success and experi
ence with hundreds , of , wayward
boys is universally acknowledged,
has "offered to assume the responsi
bility of Byron's education and
training. '
"The plea which your splendid pa
per has made for Byron Michael de
serves the highest commendation of
all big-hearted citizens in Nebras
ka," Father Flanagan writes.
t"It is a plea which gladdens the
hearts, especially of all those who
have made a study of 1 so-called
wayward and, delinquent boys, and
who have come to the conclusion
that .these so-called delinquent
boys of today are more sinned against
thari sinning.' They are the products
of dilapidated homes, regardless of
whether those homes; abound in !
ttiaterial wealth, or, poverty; . they
are the natural consequence ot
what many homes of today are
suffering from, lack of interest in
home life and the poverty of love.
"Mr. Editor, in the last two years
I have taken into my home, boys
from the streets of our citv. and
from the Juvenile Courts, not only
ot this state, but other states as
well, whose records for delinquency
have been more numerous, and of
a more depraved nature than Byron
Michael, -and from my experience
with over 500 such cases, I find not
a single one who will not respond,
if placed in the proper environ
ment, and given special .care and
attention.
"A boy is a boy, with the mind
and heart and soul of a boy, and if
healthy, these usually rebel against
the oft-times, fantastic ideas of
some over-indulgent parents or
guardians, and again, cry out in
pity against the utter neglect and
helplessness in which they may be
placed by fathers, mothers or guar
dians, who are not deserving of the
name. . ,1
"Such boys are classed as bad and
wayward, whereas if parents were to
take more 'care in first learning to
understand the dispositions of these
boys, and instil into them the proper
moral restraint, using kindness but
firmness, severity, perhaps at times,
but never cruelty, and all tempered
with the greatest love and interest
for the boy's welfare, then, I feel,
less misunderstanding would arise;
fewer boys would be found seeking
the cbmforts of companionship on
the streets and alleys of our cities;
J ewer boys would be convicted in
ur juvenile courts; and fewer boys
would have to travel the road of dis
grace to the reformatory.
True Keynote of Charity.
, If boys go astray, and parents and
guardians are unable 'to correct, and
discipline them, then let someone
else who is competent, do so. Let
not the reformatory be too quickly
resorted to, which will, at its best,
leave an indelible mark of disgrace
on their character, which time will
never efface. Your plea for Byron
Michael sounds the true keynotof
charity to give the boy a chance.
"Perhaps he has been one of those
boys who had been misunderstood.
Perhaps he has suffered injustice,
perhaps neglect. Now he is convict
ed to a juvenile penitentiary to
spend the remaining years of his
boyhood days, and then to come
forth at the age of manhood to
curse society. , And let me tell you,
Mr. Editor, such a boy will curse
society, and be aiscourge to it, and,
I think, the daily press, in its nar-i
ration of crimes and sins against
society will bear me out.
"As one who has" faith in the
moral reconstruction of even the
hardest of adult criminals, if the
proper care, attention and means
were at hand, I would say, give this
boy a chance; a chance to live down
a life of shame, if such he has led; a
chance to prove 'to' the citizens of
his community that he can make
good, and will make good; a chance
vto save a soul, that has probably
never -been understood and "suffers
and rebels against mistreatment
which victimizes him. t
Would Take Byron In.
"Mr. Editor, Father Flanagan's
Boys' home, which specializes with
such types of boys, opens its doors
and hangs a welcome on the outside
to Byron Michael, and if I did not
know that this home could furnish
the care and attention necessary to
carry this wandering soul back to
the path pf moraK righteousness,
then I would not comment on this
case, so ably presented in your pa
per. Although our home is crowd
ed, still we can always make room
for another, and I appeal to you to
use your good influence in saving
this boy from the awful degradation
of nine years in a juvenile peniten
iary." Charles Wertz, 708 , South Six
teenth street, who is going to move
to his ranch in Colorado in the spring
is another interested parent, who
wants to give the boy a home.
"I have only one daughter." de
clared Mr. Wertz. "She is 18 years
Old and is going to be married this
winter. "I am interested in this
case, and after talking the matter
over with my wife, we have decided
to offer Byron-our home. We will
be mother and father to him and
give him every opportunity pos
sible. My ranch is just a mile from
the school where Bryon will attend.
Can Make Byron Happy.
' "I understand children and so
does Mrs. Wertz. I am sure we
can make Byron happy in our
home on the ranch. I have seen
too much in these reform school
boys to believe that he will derive
any benefit from his experience in
an institution of that kind.
"It would be aj crying shame to
commit this boy to one of these
places for nine years. He will
come Out a confirmed criminal and
a menace to society. ' ' a
' I think it would be criminal to
deny this boy the privilege of the
right kind of home influence when
he has so many opportunities."

Here's One Man Who Thinks
Ajmy Life is Best in World
After Serving 21 Years .in the Regulars, Sergt A. C.
Rogers Re-enlisted in Omaha the Day After He Is
Discharged Says He Is Going to "Stick".
Sergt. A. C Rogers after serving
21 years in the regular army re
ceivedhis discharge Friday, He re
enlisted yesterday after being .ex
amined at Fort Omaha. For three
years he has been in charge of the
publicity'departmentat ' the Army
building, Fifteenth ; and Howard
streets. - i
Sergeant Rogers in his many
years of service has never taken
advantage of a furlough. He has
seen service in the Spanish-American
war, Cuba; Philippines, Mexico
border and nearly every fort in the
United States. He has had two
trips .from coast to coast. In 1916
he was detailed on recruiting duty
from the Mexican border and since
that time has been stationed in
Omaha. ,
