The Building of Omaha

Saint Patrick came
From the far, far East
To the West when the West was young,
While the earth was brown,
While the sky was Bailou,
While the hills were smooth
And fair and true,
And this is the song he sung:
oh, this land is grand
In the beautiful West;
The Saints made 1t last.
But they made II the besti
Sure, I'll make me q town
That's without fault or flaw.
And its name shall be Omaha
So he bought him McCague of printers ink
And on the Redfield by the rivers brink
With many smile
And many smirk.
He sang this song at his work:
"Oh, this land is grand
In the beautiful West;
The Saints made 1t the last,
But they made It the best:
I'll build me a town
In this healthy draw
And baptize 1t Omaha
This clay Ii yellow and soft and deep.
Where the Reeds grow thick
And the banks are steep,
But the Campbells are safe by this Esta
brook
From the winds that Buffet
And around them creep.
oh. this land is grand in the beautiful
West; .e
The Saints made it last. but they made It
Faithful build me town '
Without fault or flaw,
And I'll call it Omaha.
The beasts of the field and the fowls of
.. the air
Shall here In peace abide;
You shall see the Parrot. the Drake and
Goose 'r
And Robin side by side. ......... .a
Oh, this land Is grand in the beautiful
West
The Saints made 1t last. but they made 1t
best;
I'll make me q city without fault or flaw
And christen 1t Omaha.
From the frigid North to the Sunny South
The best shall come to me.
There'lI be Kings and Earls In search Of
pearls,
And Dukes from over the sea.
Then he Turkey long look at the rolling
Hills
There is no use digging for Cole down
here,
Well have to burn Wood. you know.
oh, this land Is grand
In the beautiful West:
The Saints made 1t last
But they made 1t the best
I'll build me the finest town
Ever you saw,
And I'll call 1t Omaha.
I'll next Chase the Redman off from the
plain.
To avoid all reMorse. should one squaw
remain.
I'll Carter to Haven's own shore-thats
quite plain.
Let her Howell all. she will,
Hoel I'll dig and Wilbury her deep
without shroud or wig,
But only a Creighton to hold her together
For where she may go I'm not sure Of the
weather.

NEBRASKA WILL /
GROW SHARE OF
SEED POTATOES
Plans to Compete With North
ern States in Producing
High Grade Article
for Seed.

Lincoln, Neb., April 26.-Nebras-
ka is to be an active competitor
with northern states in growing
seed potatoes, if plans of the Ne
braska Potato Growers Improve
ment association and the state uni
versity mature. Plans have been
made to develop seed growing as a
speciality in the western part Of the
state. The university department Of
horticulture has established a potato
field and bin inspection service, and
scores of western Nebraska men
will grow nothing but seed potatoes
this year. Their product will be
placed on the market in co1npet ition
with seed from the best districts
farther north.
There is big demand, according
to the department of horticulture,
for high class potatoes that are of
good type, free from disease and
coming from high yielding field of
vigorous plants. There is a good
market for such potatoes in eastern
Nebraska, in the southern states and
among growers under irrigation in
the western part of this state. Re-
cent experiments show that when
Nebraska potatoes. especially dry
land grown potatoes, are properly
handled they are equal to northern
grown potatoes from Minnesota and
other states, as seed. The southern
potato growers are demanding bet
ter seed. Western Nebraska. be-
cause of its geographic location,
has an advantage over states farther
north.
Under plans for the proposed in
spection service, growers of seed
will be given assistance throughout
the year in bringing to maturity a
potato that will command respect
as seed. Certain prescribed require
ments must be met by the growers
i'll order to give assurance of proper
cooperation. 1t is now estimated
that the growing of seed will be
more profitable than growing pota-
toes for table use.
Many requests are coming to the
University of Nebraska home eco
nomical department for menus and
other suggestions for high school
banquets. Miss Leta B. Linch,
dietitian of the department, gives
four menus and color schemes for
banquets.
