Chicago Tops Omaha In Stock Receipts May Replace Omaha As Livestock Center OMAHA <UP>—Omaha, world's champion livestock center, may have trouble keeping its crown this year. Harry B. Coffee, president of the Union Stockyards Co., said today ex -champion Chicago holds a t . 124,000-head lead in total livestock receipts so far this year. Although Chicago normally leads at this time of year, Coffee said, Omaha might not be able to make up the difference with its traditional late-in-the-year spurt. “We might," he said, “but the chances aren’t too good ” Receipts at Omaha through the first eight months were 3,589,000 head, compared with Chicago's 3,713,000. Coffee said Chicago built up its lead- with fat cattle receipts which outnumbered Omaha’s. If Omaha is able to close the gap at all, it will be because of its traditionally larger range cattle and Chicago held the livestock market championship until two years ago when Omaha moved into the lead with a 6 per cent advantage. Last year, Omaha won again—but the margin was only 1% per cent, sheep receipts, he said. “If we lose this year, and that's not saying we will .the poor com crops the last two years will be to blame,” Coffee said. “ITiis summer," he said, “the Omaha trade area is going to have an excellent com crop and Omaha will be a real contender and probable champion next year.” Coffee explained that when the corn" crop is good, small farmers will feed cattie and hogs. But when the crop is bad—and it has been very bad the last two years—only commercial feeders will stay in the business. Coffee said the two-year, drought which ended this spring was worse in Omaha’s trade territory than in Chicago’s. Although Omaha may lose its title as the world's largest livestock center, Coffee said, the city is in no danger of being replaced as the world’s largest meat packing center. “We're firmly established as the leader in that department," he I said Quit Real Estate To Become Artist Shucked Profitable Business To Paint CHICAGO (UP) — Walter Keane shucked his profitable real estate business nine - years ago to become an artist. And he hasn’t missed a meal yet “You don’t really have to starve to be a painter,” Keane said. “Especially if yotir wife and kids paint, too.” Keane, his pretty wife and their two daughters were here for a unique “one-family” art show at the Sherman Hotel gallery. Keane does landscapes. His wife is a portrait painter. They combine their talents to Mroduce “symbiotic” paintings, wi® Keane doing the scenes and his Arise the figures. » Their youngsters, Susan;9, and Jane, 7, paint delightfully childish canvases of clowns and such. The popular notion of an artist as a hungry Bohemian in a cold water garret surrounded by his unwanted canvases doesn’t seem to apply to Keane. He and his family were ensconced in a luxury suite. Nine years ago he was running a real estate agency in Berkeley, Calif- He employed half a dozen salesmen, owned two foreign cars and had an ulcer “the size of a watermelon.” “The ulcer was from a frustrated urge to paint," Keane said. “So I chucked the whole business, went to Europe to study for three years and we're doing fine, now." It’s a happy situation, Keane said. Personal income in America is at an all-time high, and apparently so is art appreciation. “Millionaires still buy paintings,” Keane said, ."but so do cab drivers and steamfitters.” He waved a sheaf of letters. “These are from people who have seen our work and want to buy,” he said. “Some of them ask if they can pay on time. The answer is yes." One'letter was from a Chicago girl who “fell in love” with a canvas and contracted to pay the $175 purchase price in monthly instalments of sls. But she quit her job after four months and was returning to school“We’re going to let her have the painting," Keane said. There were some lean years, he admitted. “But we’ve always made a go of it by bartering paintings for whatever we needed,” he said. “We just about furnished our house by trading canvases for furs niture. Now we’re getting a refrigerator that way. “And we’ve got two dentists waiting for something to happen to our teeth so they can pay for paintings."

The tickets entitle the courteous citizen to a free meal in a local restaurant.
