President Cole introduced Howard II. Baldrge as
POSTMASTER and in assuming the chair Mr. Baldrige
put everybody in good humor by remarkng, However
much you may desire to us, are really more
anxious and delighted to you.
This being of the few times the legislature

such glorious chance before to learn what we want"
said Mr. Badrge still in facetious vein we have

Paying tribute to the Commercial club as the most
potential factor in the growth and development of
Omaha, Mr.. Baldrige said:
"In the last analysis the prosperity OF a city de-
ponds, not the many material evidences OF its
greatness but the character Of its citizenship We

KuhI and Morehend Respond.

Speaker of the House John Kuhl and Senator
Morehead president pro tenn of the senate also made
brief addresses when called on by T. B. Mcpherson,
who presided at the luncheon. Both expressed the
that the visit could not fail to bring to the minds
OF the legislative members better understanding of
the extent and Importance of the stock yards and
packing house industry and their intimate association
with the material prosperity of Nebraska The two
legislative officials expression to the thanks
and appreciation OF the members of their respective
houses for the arrangements made to give them
inside view of the packing plants and for the enter
tainment generously provided.
Incidentally, It may be said that the luncheon
served in the Exchange dining hall complete in
every detail. from oysters to ice and cigars.
Mr.. Mcpherson extended the formal welcome
behalf OF the Union Stock Yards company and in doing
he said the only object the entertainers had
give the legislators opportunity to everything

dltons surrounding the buying, handling and packing
OF the live stock products OF the farms of Nebraska

Nebraska's Material Greatness.

Lieutenant Governor HopeweI and former Lieu
tenant Governor McGlton, in responding TO calls.
dealt succnctly with the material greatness Of Ne
braska and the possibilities still dormant Mr. Nc
Clifton. Analysing the figures of Nebraska production,
said the total divided, would provide $4OO for each
man. woman and child and $4,000 more for each
family in the state. Mr. Hopewell, in reminiscent
vein, recalled the day when the idea prevailed that
farm crops could be prohtably grown outside the
counties Of the state From this premise he
passed to the surprising development Of production
that has about predicted the wealth of the
state be doubled possibly trebled, in the next
twenty years. because of modern methods and a
higher degree OF agricultural education.
Toasts were called for and drunk standing to the
