Mrs. MacMurpby of Omaha, who gave a
graphic account of the pioneer life in

state, she claimed that corn was not
used as generally as it should be for focd
for the family; that it was very nutri

great demand for it from the European
countries. The various ways in which

United States government will provide
for at the Paris exposition. At the close
