said H.. r. Mccullough, vice president of
the Northwestern who, with a large party
Of Northwestern officials, was in Omaha
Wednesday to be present on Railroad day
at the exposition.
while l had heard considerable of the
show | did not realize it was of such pro-
portions and of such a highly educational
nature. 1t is easy to see that such an ex-
position will result in a vast amount of
good as an educational feature to those
fortunate enough to be able to attend"
Mr.. Mccullough also said he was amazed
at the wonderful growth of the wholesale
business of Omaha and expressed regret
that he did not have longer time to visit
with many of his friends and also to see

BIG PACKER SEES CORN SHOW

that matter, was In Omah
The man referred to is Louis Swift, the
president Of the packing company bearing
the name and a son of that Gustavus
Swift, who was one of the great ounde
of the packing industry.
1t seems that the packing industry does
not conduce to a liking for notoriety.
Ogden Armou keeps out of public print
to a remarkable extent, considering his
prominence in the world of cattle and
grain. This is true of Louis Swift and of
other leaders in the packing business also.
The corn exposition is a great success, -
said Mr.. Swift. Omaha may well be
proud Of itself. and 1 personally am more
than repaid for coming here. Good corn
is a vital matter TO US of the packing
world. for good food is necessary TO make
good cattle and hogs. l shall Come again

The above we're elected officers and
directors of the Midwest Retail Implement
Dealers association, Thursday noon.
After a three-day session Of a joint con-
vention of the Nebraka and Western Iowa
Retail Implement Dealers association and
the South Platte Implement Dealers asso-
citation these bodies decided to unite under
one large association, the name to be the
Midwest Retail Implement Dealers asso-
citation. This association is designed to
cover all the territory within reach OF the
large implement houses of Omaha, South
Omaha, Council Bluffs and Lincoln and 1t
It expected within a short time to bring
the membership up to 900.
The constitution and bylaws were adopted
subject to slight changes by the executive
committee again to be ratified by a gen.
eral meeting. The executive committee ar
ranged to meet in Omaha in about one
month, when a secretary and treasurer will
be elected.
William Krotter of Stuart, Neb., the dele
gate Of the Nebraska and western Iowa
Retail Implement and Vehicle Dealers as
ISOLATION, made ar extensive report of his
findings at the national convention at Chi
'cago and some communications.
The reports of the retiring officers Of the
old associations showed there was a failing
interest in the association, but 1t is hoped
to revive this interest by the consolidation.
The meeting of the implement dealers
brought a large number to Omaha and the
National Corn exposition, and the imple-
ment houses were filled all week with Wis
itors, but 1t was a hard task to hold the
members at the meeting with SO much else
going on.

The United States chemical laboratory,

products to be tested are such as come
under the interstate transportation laws.
