Burgess-Nash to Help Shoppers Releasing of Ads in Morning to Give Customers Time to Plan Buying Trips. In order to be of still greater serv ice to customers, the Burgess-Nash company todAy, for the first time, will release ads In the morning papers in stead of in tlie evening editions, as heretofore. The same ad will appear in the evening papers, both ads con taining items to be on sale the follow ing day. "We want to help Omaha shoppers and out-of-town customers as much as possible," said J. F. Dailey, who recently came to Omaha as vice presi dent and manager of the Burgess Nash company. "Many women make plans a day in advance, and If our ads appear in the morning ns well as In the evening before the sale, ample time Is given to plan shopping trips | for the nest day. "Out-of-town patrons will be bene fited greatly by the new arrange ment, for they will receive announce- ; ment of the sale in time to arrange a trip to Omaha. With both bus and train service, people from out of the state may easily spend the day in Omaha, returning the same eve ning after having taken advantage of the savings of the sale priced mer chandise.” In practically all larger cities, de partment store ads "break" in the morning editions—that Is the ad ap- ! pearing throughout the day advertise merchandise to be sold the following day. Although the Burgess-Nash company is, at the present time, the only institution in Omaha that con ducts advertising in this manner, ot,h- i _I Confessed Robbers on Way to Pen Week After Crime | Atlantic, la., Jan: 9.—(Special.)— Just one week after Sam Jones. 32 and Harry Brown. 34, stole a quan tity of clothing from the home ol F.

Painter Kills Young Wolf Prowling in Dundee Yards To kill a wolf In the heart of a fashionable neighborhood is the thrill that came to Harold Hinzie, 25, a painter, who resides at 4816 Daven port street, yesterday. “I was sitting near the window, and along about 4:30 just happened to look out and saw the w-oif, about two-thirds grown, run ning down over the hill,” said Mr. Hinzie. “So I took my shotgun and went after him. After chasing him a cou; le of Mocks I took a shot at him and wounded him. The second shot got him at Fnrty eseventh and Wake ley Ktreets. I knew he had been in the neighborhood south of us, for it was reported that he was seen run ning around in the daytime and get ting lots of chickens. I guesst that is all there is to it, only that I am skinning him now and expect to make use of the hide."

The boy lives In San Francisco and chose roller skates as his means ef go ing south. He was captured at San Jose, 60 miles south, and early to day was in the hands of officers pending word from his parents. t » • Must Tell Truth.

The men wChe arrested at a resi dence after the wife of one had com plaind to the police that her husband lost his weekly pay envelope at poker. Parents* Problems What course should te followed with a little girl who has “attacks of the giggles?’ Take as little notice as possible of this small girl when she has “attacks of giggles.” “Higgling is merely a lit tle girl's way of laughing and unless Bhe becomes hysterical she should be allowed to giggle as much as she likes, so long as she is not doing It at a time or in a place that makes it unsuitable. She will outgrow this habit very soon. They All Agree on “Dr. Jack” (Miss Kern, World-Herald) "DR. JACK” Once more the comedians will have to take off their hats to Harold Lloyd, former Ne braskan. In his latest picture, "Dr. Jack,” which opened Sat urday at the Sun for a two weeks’ engagement, this young star has again given us a pic ture, which is not only funny but which has a serious un dertone. In other words he makes you laugh until the tears run down your face and at the same time gives you a valuable prescription for health and happiness. To say the least this Mr. Lloyd “out coues” Coue. There are some who may think that this new picture isn’t as funny as "Grandma’s Boy,” but we think it is better. The latter picture has several outstand ing features which were real laugh getters, but the new pic ture is punctuated with num erous such situations. Added to this is a charming iove story and a decided plot. The heroine is played by Mildred Davis and she aids Mr. Lloyd charmingly in the sentimental vein of the comedy. It is a great comedy and you really can’t afford to miss it. (Mitt Burke, Omaha Baa) 1 “Dr. Jaek” is a high spot in comedy work on the screen. Harold Lloyd deserves un limited credit, for he wrote it as well as acting it, and it is full of original touches. The poker game, when Lloyd slips every player at the table four aces and lets them fight it out, is especially well worked out, and Lloyd manages to think up something new in the way of “pursuit scenes,” when he disguises himself as an escaped lunatic and cavorts about the house, ever and anon appearing in hi* own clothes to join the search for himself. This has more plot than most comedies and Harold Lloyd at hit best, at in thit one, cannot bo tur patted in the tcroen world. (Mr. Landale, Daily Newt) TAKE FAMILY DOCTOR TO VIEW “DR. JACK” Harold Lloyd breaks out of the comedian class, %nd yet remains ace of mirthmakers, in “Dr. Jack,” now playing at the Sun Theatre. “Dr. Jack” can logically be termed a comedy - drama. There’s nothing in it that couldn’t be a leaf of life.
