Prosperous.

There were so many pleasing incidents
in connection with the trade boosters ex-
cursion last week that members Of the
party are still telling their friends about
them. The occurrences Of the week have
made such a lasting impression that the
boosters found It difficult Monday to settle
back into the routine of duty.

a trip without feeling that Nebraska is the
best state in the union says Penn P.
Fodrea the generalissimo of trade boost
ing spielers. We saw evidences Of it
everywhere and we come back with con-
fidence OF a greater future than ever. It
was marvellous to see with our own eyes
the signs OF prosperity that were revealed
to us in every section OF the state through
which we passed.
The greatest demonstration of the week
was at Shelton. Considering the size Of
the town, more people turned out there to
greet the excursionists than in any place
visited F. D. Reed, editor of the Shelton
Clipper showed the spirit that existed
there by getting out a special edition In
honor of the Boosters. The paper was
brimful of crisp Omaha news and lavish
words OF welcome. On the day of the
visit there was q horse show in progress
there. and more fine animals were seen
than have ever been collected in Nebraska
outside OF Omaha A feature of the day
was the contest conducted by Editor Reed
to determine who was the most popular
man among the visitors. Coupons were
printed In his paper. and these. properly
filled out represented votes The winner
Of the contest was W. ]. Mount of the

Jake Speisberger was the life OF the
party from start to finish. and he was pre-
sented with a gold medal in recognition OF
being the best scout on the train. The
presentation was made by Penn p Fodrea
in one OF his fine extemporaneous talks
and Spiesberger made an unusually clever
response.
VIII A. Campbell OF the publicity bureau
was not with the excursionists during the
entire week, but he found time to visit
eighty newspapers, make several talks
during the day and keep the wires hot with
news stuff sent to the Omaha papers. Mr.
Campbell says that editors are coming from
all parts Of the state in large numbers TO
attend the Press association convention
next week.
