A peculiar feature OF the replies indicate
that high schools in western Nebraska
are taking a greater interest in the tour

eastern Nebraska high schools have en-
tered the greater portion of the teams,

the McIntyre-stearns deal was not com

tails were worked out by Mcintyre and
II. III. Hover. sales manager OF the
Stearns factory, who has been spending
considerable time In Kansas, Nebraska
and Iowa, finding out at first hand the
actual trade conditions. Hover finally
made up his mind that the sales plans
worked out by Mcintyre for business in
this territory were absolutely sound and
practicable, and accordingly the deal was
closed and kilograms sent In 10 the fac
tory ordering the first carloads.
Another part OF the deal has a particu-
lar bearing on the Omaha show, for the
stearns people have agreed not only TO
send 20 this city their New York and
Chicago show exhibits-ineluding the spe-
cial polished cut away chassis which
made such a hit at New York-but also
to send here their expert lecturer, whom,
during the show, will give hourly lee
