In the trade organizations OF the city

he is the unpaid advertiser who brings

done more than any other man or class
OF men to break down the prejudice OF the
farmer for the city man and the Apo
sition Of the state 10 the metropolis.
To tell of the commission men who are
worthy OF special mention by reason OF
their work in building the local market
and Omaha would be task worthy OF a
wider space than may be accorded IN

Commission Mans Service.
But all these factors go to make up
the live stock market of Omaha. And
OF all these factors none is more TO be
considered than the man who meets you
and shakes your hand when he solicits
your feed lot trade. This same man waits
anxiosuly 10 see your cattle safely
in. watered, fed and rested after the trip
to market. This same man will pit his
wits and his reputation against the money
power Of the packers TO get the highest
price for your cattle and he will not
rest satisfied until you have come back
a second time to approve his fidelity 10
your interests. And back Of all that he is
oftentimes as reserved and loveable a
home man as the farmer himself But
Of himself or OF his home life the COM
mission man never speaks. He stands
for your service, for your assistance az
the yards. His profit is your gain for the
time. That is his busness-to win; to win
for you and for himself the highest price
paid for corn on the hoof.

SALT ON TAIL CATCHES BIRD
FLY When Coated with Saline
Solution.

The truth Of the old saying that birds
may be caught through the process of
pouring salt on their tails is vouched for
by o. c. Hofer OF this city, who has Just
returned from an inspection of salt prop
critics in which he is interested at Seen
dena, located twenty miles north of
Randsburg.
Hofer came upon the carcass of duck
entirely incssed In salt, and further in
vestigation revealed the fact that persons
living in the vicinity of the evaporating
watts or ponds into which the water from
a salt lake is pumped. are accustomed to
keeping themselves supplied with tooth
some duck by picking up the helpless
birds after they have alighted In the solu-
ton.
After they have been once immersed In
the salty water, the ducks wings are
powerless to lift them out Of harms way.
