Council Bluffs visited the National Corn
exposition in Omaha Monday afternoon and
Tuesdsy afternoon Omaha repaid the COM
pliment by visiting the National Horticul-
tural congress in Council Bluffs.
The pleasure of Omaha's visit was some
what marrec by an accident on the trip
across the Big Muddy. The leading car OF
the ten special motors carrying the Omaha
High school cadets, members of the Com
mercial club and other citizens OF the city
across the river, jumped the track at the
east end of the bridge and caused a delay
of nearly an hour.
The sixty or more automobiles which had
preceded the street cars stopped at the
Northwestern tracks to wait for the belated
street car contingent, but when word was
received that it would probably be an hour
or possibly longer before traffic on the
street car line would be resumed. the autos
pulled out for the auditorium, where the
officers of the National Horticultural con-

not impatiently awaiting their expected
guests.
On reaching the auditorium the guests
from across the river who made the trip
by automobile were shown through the
beautiful fruit exhibition, Of which they
were loud in their praises.
There were no formal exercises beyond
a brief welcome from President ]. P. Hess
Of the congress-, which was responded to
by Howard H. Baldrige on benalf Of the
visitors from Omaha.
Mr.. Baldrige said, in part;
Ladies and gentlemen, have been
selected to express the appreciation OF the
city of Omaha to the city of Council Bluffs
for the invitation you have given us TO

the Missouri river, the artificial boundary
that separates there two great cities,
Surely no one can view this beautiful ex-
position, and the exhibits therein con-
tanned, without feeling a spirit of pride
that we live in this great central west. 1t
Is a feeling that we live here in these two
great states of Nebraska and Iowa. and
live In the very best part of the very best
country in all the world. And we who
live here now. live at the very best time
in this great central west are like two
great pillars in this political country, up
holding this great part OF an architecture
slanting to the two great oceans on the
east and on the west. When we consider
what the people who live now and have
lived here have done to reclaim this coun-
try, when WI consider what II is today
and its magnificent prospects fer the
future, we each one should have a spirit
OF pride that we are alive now and that

We transform its barren waists into fruit

tickled 1t with the play, and 1t has laughed
unto us with the harvest.
Wait for Cadets
Hundreds of the pupils of the Council
Bluffs public schools had gathered II

grounds of the Washington Avenue
school awaiting the arrival OF the cadets
who, 1t had been announced. would give
