awaiting the selection of the local
dealer who comes here to pick on
the meats demanded by his par

ushered into the reception room
at Libby. McNsill & Libby's
where they have an exhibition of
the 125 varieties Of meats, pickles
and preserves which they put up.
Here We had taste of appstizing
looking at dried beef, boiled ham,
etc.. and as the walking We had
done had made us all hungry we
were glad of bite of lunch.
Then We went through the diff
ferent departments where the Lib
by Food products are prepared
the smoke house, the kitchen, the
canning rooms, all through which
most of the work seemed to be
done by automatio machinery.
In the few places where the pat K
ing Of meat into cans or jars was
done by hand. it was done by clean.
bright looking girls dressed in
white caps and aprons. In the
labelling and packing rooms were
piles and piles of the familiar pack

All through the plants was
evidence of the care for the clean
illness of buildings. machinery and
employees the floors were as
white as the deck of q yacht The
walls we're whitewashed, tables and
stools all bore marks of frequent
sorubbings The handling of meat
too was with the utmost care to
keep it clean. The display of
meats in the cooling rooms looks
SO good that one quickly forgets
the sights and sounds of the kill
ing rooms and is anxious for a
good dinner. So the party boarded
the special train again and were
back in the Press Club rooms for
the reception and lunch at u
O'Clock.

WHICH OF THESE TWO MEN
WoUD YOU RATHER BE,
Rockefeller or Bryant

Two Americans travelling abroad
for health and pleasure will during
the succeeding month return to
their native shore. One of them
is the richest man in the world.
More than any other in his gener,-
ton he epitomizss the spirit of the
age, material accomplishment. Be-
yond all others he has mastered
and turned to his own the domi-
nant principle of modern civiIiz 4
tlon-organization, the systemic
ing of the forces which take natural
resources and turn them into gold.
He sits upon the apex of his com
pick creation and reaps greater
harvest of the work of other hands
and other brains than any other
man in the history of the world.
When he returns to his native land
he will be met at the dock only BIZ
his immediate relatives, and not
by all of those. If any of the idly
curious gather, their curiosity will
be tinged with malevolenoe. The
other travellers ears. before he is
in sight of shore. will catch the ex.
cited cheering of an almost b ysteri-
cal friendly nation. Men will en-
Wy other men because they were
