"The automobile trade excursion
into Iowa and Missouri which ended
Saturday night was one 6f the most
successful we have ever conducted."
said Robert L. Trimble, president oi
the Omaha Chamber of Commerce.
"All of the sales managers agree
that Omaha should do more business
in southwest Iowa and northwest
Missouri," remarked Don T. Lee,
chairman of the committee in charge.
Maryville, Mo., where the party
stopped over night, is just as near to
Omaha as to Kansas City, and the
train service and rates are much bet

which Omaha should get goes to

A"s stated last week, the prospect
tive poultry raisershould give first
consideration to the selection, of
stock that is the first of the three
big essentials.
To breed - healthy, productive
fowls one must have foundation
stock of the very best it is possible
to secure. Show stock of reat ele
gance is not a necessity, but standf
ard "bred fowls, of strength and
vigor are. You do not want to
start with any other than pure bred
stock. While the original cost may
be greater, the result in the end is
success with the one and almost
certain failure with the other.
It does not cost any more to feed
pure breds than it does the mon
grel or mixed type; in the case t)f
the mongrels there is no unifor
mity in size, shape or color of the
eggs and they will never bring a
premium for hatching purposes, as
do the eggs from pure breds. The
same comparison holds good as re
gards poultry meat there is uni
formity in the pure breds. . Stand
ard 'bred fowls bring fancy prices
for breeding purposes, while mon
grels never increase in value oyer ac
tual market quotations of so' much
per pound. ' '
If you are raising mongrel fowls
market them at once and begin with
some standard variety. You will
soon come to appreciate the change
and realize thetruth of thestate
ments I hasekjaade.iii.j j
-The Beat Breed1.
Perhaps the most frequent ques
tion the poultryman is asked is:
"What is the best breed to raise?"
It generally depends on the chicken
man to whom you address your
question as to what the reply will
be. If he raises White Plymouth
Rocks himself, no doubt he will tell
you, as U. R. Fishef does, that Ply
mouth Rocks of the white variety
are the best fowls to raise; if you
happen to ask the question of a
Barred Plymouth Rock fancier, then
it will be Barred Rocks that you
must raise to succeed, and should
you ask the question of a Rhode
Island Red enthusiast, why then
there is absolutely nothing to' it
Reds always were and always will
be the best breed. And so it goes
all along down the line White;
Wy andottes, White and Buff Orping
tons. White and Brown Leghorns,
White and Black Minorcas, Golden
and Silver Campines and even Blue
Andalusians yes, these and al the
others unmcntioned have supporters
somewhere who will tell you that
your success is assured if you select
the one best breed arod each of them
will name a different breed.
My friends, do not make the mis
take of believing there really is a
one best 'breed in th sense that )t
excels all others, The one best
breed is the one you personally like
the best. That accounts for the
variety of answers you will receive
to the question. All in then) own
opinion have answered you correct
ly and according to the best of their
knowledge and belief. That is why
there are so many breeds of poultry
and their varieties.
To date it is pretty generally con
ceded that the one best breed to
-raise is the breed you farfcy the
most. Select the breed ; you like
best and you will have better sue
cess with it than some other treed
which vou do not like so well ll.e
truth of this is born out by the fact
that the big, successes in the busi
ness have been made by people who

most of the funds having been raised
by private subscription. It is said
to be the only building of its kind in
the United btates.
, Malvern was reached in the nuddl;
of the afternoon. Mayor George
White, who is well known in Omaha,
drove ahead to meet the party. VV.
f Wortman of the Malvern Leader,
a nonresident member of the Omaha
Chamber of Commerce, headed the
reception committee. The Commer
cial club served sandwiches, salad
and coffee.
John W. Gamble, the official
speechmaker of the partyxfound it
somewhat mmcult at both Lfianchard
and Malvern to adequately express
the pleasure of the Omahans.
All of the business men on the trip
are agreed that next summer here

Police Arrest Four Men
On Early Sunday Joy Ride
G. J. Mulvihill, 2501 California
street, was arrested early Sunday
morning charged with intoxication
and reckless driving and Paul Tay
lor, 1625 Burdette street; F. A. Nel
son, 2814 Caldwell street, and Ben
Elliot, 3623 North Sixteenth street,
who were riding with Mulvihill,
were arrested charged with intoxica
tion and disorderly conduct.
The men were arrested at' Four
teenth and Dodge streets after com
plaint was made to police that the
men had crowded another automo
bile into the curb. , '

have followed this procedure. The
man who truly likes the chicken
business will surely be a big suc
cess in it.
Popular Varieties.
In the opinion of the writer, the
most popular varieties of the differ
ent breeds that are raised in the
United States todayare as follows:
Barred Plymouth Rocks, White
Plymouth Rocks, Rose and Single
Comb Rhode Island Reds, White
Wyandottes, 'Buff Wyandottes,
White Orpingtons. Buff Orpingtons,
Single Comb White Leghorns, Sin
gle Comb Brown Leghorns, Single
Comb Anconas and Single Comb
Black Minorcas. Unquestionably
Leghorns, Plymouth Rocks, Rhode
Island Reds, Wyandottes and Or
pingtons are the breeds that pre
dominate in this country.
In connection witn tne siuay oi
kra4a trA thoi inriptip it would be
well to secure a copy 5VthJe "Amer
ican Standa ot Jertectipn," a dook
published by the American Poultry
acenriatinn. which enumerates all
recognized breeds and their varieties
III. UC14U cum uuumi-s mv. y
points required to constitute the per
fect bird. The rules contained in
this book are those by which towls
are judged in the snow room. n-
rtthnr vprv crrtnn hook that would
serve as an excellent supplement to
the "Standard of Perfection" is a re
cent work by Harry M. Lamon and
Rob R. locum entitled "The Mating
and " Breeding of Poultry." This
book indicates the methods of breed
ing anrl matini? which will be most
likely to produce the results de
scribed in the "Stanaara oi jrenec
tion." . . ,
Classes of Fowls. ,
T7nr rnnvpnience fowls have been
divided into classes that distinguish
their origin and the purposes for
which as a rule they are best adapt
ed. Take, for example, the Ameri
can class, which includes what is
rnmmnnlv railed the dual purpose
fowl a bird that is -a combination
egg and meat producer, inis class
contains three very popular breeds
in particular the Plymouth Rocks,
Rhode Island Reds and Wyandottes.
Horo vnn have birds that are ac
knowledged egg producers and at the
same time heavy enougn to masc
good tahle fowls.
Then 'comes the Mediterranean
class, whith includes such breeds as
Leghorns, Anconas, Minorcas, etc.
With the exception of the Minorcas,
lre4 might well be called the "light
weights" of poultry. They are wen
derful egg producers and many peo
ple choose them not only for their
laying qualities but also because they
lav such nerfeetlv white eggS. As
broilers they are excellent from the
meat standpoint, as up to tne Droiier
nop thev prow as rapidly as the
heavier breeds.
The English 'class contains a breed
hat has trained widespread popular
ity in America, so much so that
many poultry raisers look: upon it as
a full-fledged American bird the
Orpington.
It is from these classes and the
breeds in each that I have men-
ioned that beginners as a rule make
ktir ceWtinn. I am not -attempting
tn enumerate, all the breeds of poul
try and their numerous varieties, but
to give the reackr information aoout
i.nci that have the orreatest decree
of popularity and to classify them iu
such a way that .a selection ot tne
"beginner's favorite" may be made
most easily.

The Humpty-Dumpty Act Over
BY PAUL GRIPER.
Perhaps you are one of tKose who read that the
price of raw wool hasjfallei 20 per cent and straight
way look for a correspondingly large decline in the
price of finished goods or garments. ,
--'.
You're all wrong, for you have-not taken into con
sideration the fact that the cost of the raw material is a
small part of most manufacturing operations. It is de
clared on authority that a decrease of 20 per cent in the
price of wool would mean only 8 cents a yard decrease
in the cost of manufacture.
'
If wool is 40 cents a pound, and there are 8i2
pounds of goods in a suit of men's clothes, it is plain
that the wool in a suit cannot cost more than $3.40.
Twenty per cent of that amount is 68 cents. .
Another example is cotton, which has slumped off
in the last few weeks. Did you know that there is less
than 30 cents' worth of cotton in some materials that
sell for $3 a yard?
.' '
This might be taken as proving a numbers of things.
It does not necessarily indicate that the manufacturers
are profiteers, for the interest on their millions of in
vestment in machinery and buildings, their labor costs1
and selling expenses swell the factory expense. It does
prove, for one thing, that the farmer has not been a
profiteer, and that the recent tumble'inthe value of
farm products is not alone going to make for further
large .declines in wholesale or retail prices. For that
matter, as people living in the agricultural region of the
United States, where the raw material is produced, we.
are entitled to feel that lower prices to the farmer are
blow to the middle west' and of small benefit to anyone.
.
, For all this, the economic condition of the Omaha
territory is unusually sound, and current reports of busi
ness depression in other parts of the country, said to
have been precipitated by cuts in the automobile and
sugar markets, have not been duplicated here, business
men declare. The feeling is that this is no occasion for
calamity, howling or trying to convince he public that
there is no general price movement downward.
''''
It is generally agreed the buying public will make i
a mistake if it gains the idea that all prices are going
to tumble head over heels. There are no such signs on
the business horizon. The movement back to normal
will be gradual if the commercial health of the country
is to be maintained.
In some commodities prices have probably reached
the lowest point they will touch on the present move
ment, according to the judgment of great Mechanics
and Metals bank of New York City, in a recent review.
In a few instances, the survey declares, there will doubt
less be a recovery. -It also reports that in many lines in
which prices have not yet betn reduced there has been
a slowing up of business and a piling up of stocks in the
hands of the makers.
The decline is said to have passed its most drastic
point, and it is not likely that in many years, barring
a very great increase of production of gOodswill prices
return to the pre-war levels of 1913.
' -
. This question of production is a peculiar one, with
many angles. Some manufacturers are said to be lessen
ing production in order to maintain prices. If demand
suddenly fails and gotfds pile up in the hands of the
producers and dealers, prices must be cut sufficiently
to induce buyers to take them, irrespective of the cost
of production. It is natural that manufacturers will
reduce their output ;f the price arrived at fails to be
profitable. It is for this reason that we may expect a
rise in the prices of some commodities which have fallen
very violently. This movement might even extend to
the business of producing food, although in the old days
the farmers would plant more when they anticipated a
low price, in order to get the same gross return.
It is generally reported that labor is increasing in
efficiency. This increased productiveness has made it
possible for the. American Woolen company, the Ford,
plant and ihe Franklin plant to announce that wages
will be unchanged in spite of the cuts made in prices.
If increased individual efficiency w6re to come about
generally, and were to go far enough, it would be better
for everyone, capitalist, laborer and consumer. We then
could see the strange and never-before-heard-of sight
of good profits, high wages and low prices. It is note
worthy that this chain of circumstances is still intact, for
no movement toward cutting the worker's pay check has
yet been made. t v - -n
