Omaha High Gridsters Rounding Into Shape With blit two weeks left in which 10 train, coaches of Omaha High • bools rib working hard to have their teams in shape for their initial ames Of the four high schools. Central Jligji school at this stage of the train ing seems to be the strongest bidder for the city title. Coach Schmidt has five of last year's tetter men back in the moleskins this season, and a wealth of materiol from the second string of last year ‘‘aptaln Hovwll, Lawson,-Marrow, Thomas and Perclval are the vets who are out again this year. Among the most promising candidates for the other six places left open by gradua tion last spring are Kinsey and Van Busktrk, tackles; Lepicier, guard; « lark and Oliver, centers; Tollander, Fctterman and Turner, ends; Muxen, Robertson, Amos, Jeffries, Anderson, •’ones and Egan, backs;. Most of theso A '.ere reserves last year. The Put pie squad has been j>rac i icing hard for the past week and •t.ould be in good shape for the oo.-n i i-ig game. 12 Lcllct Men at South High.

The South squad has teen going i trough signal practice passing and punting, and has even done a lit:.e ■*• rimmaging already this year. Pat ion says that he is able to get right down to work with the team because "f the abundance of old material. Contrary to the outlook at Central and Smith, Tech and Creighton Prep "r-m to he laboring under a handi '•ap. Tech Badly Off. Coach Drummand of Tech has but five letter men back, all of these being line men. The task of constructing i good baokfield of new men is fac ing him at the outset of the season. Added to this is the lack of a place to practice and the absence of show ers in the new building at this time. The five old men to return are Swanson, Dorn, Pierce, Sharpe and Powell. Among the men upon whom Drummond will place the ha/kfleld burden are the following men from last year’s second strfng: Swenson, <e||(iren. Block and Nichols.

As I inspect each lot of fine tobacco I am thinking of the men who will smoke this tobacco when it is made into cigars. I consider the kind of a cigar the American smoker wants—full-bodied, rich, yet mild. I am con scious of the faith these men have that I will always buy the very finest tobacco that money can secure. Each year for twenty seven years my responsibility to the American public has become greater. For each year additional smokers, by the thousands, find that the combination of fine tobaccos contained in La Palina pleases them more than any cigar they ever smoked.

Brownie Spies Anotiier Band, When Brownie the Thrasher got back home he had a lot to tell Mra. Brownie. He showed her the little metal band on one leg. She looked at it suspiciously. She looked at it very suspiciously. "What is it for?’’ she demanded. “1 haven't the least idea.’’ replied Brownie. “Does it hurt?” she asked “Not a bit.” replied Brownie. “Why don't you take it off?” in quired Mrs. Brownie. "I can t,” said Brownie. ''I’ve tried, but I can't.” “Well, all I can say Is that it is mighty queer." said Mra. Brownie. ' What will your neighbors think to you wearing a thing like that?" Brownie began to wonder himself. Jt« felt a little shy about showing himself. No one ever likes to feel queer, and with that little • shiny band on his leg Brownie, did feel queer. So he kept out of sight as much a- possible. Two daya later as b. was peering out from the bushes along the edge of the Old Orchard he saw- Welcome Robin alight in the nearest apple tree. He would have liked to go over for a little gossip with Welcome Robin, but. remembering that shiny band on Ills leg. he remained right where he was. , Welcome Robin flew down on the cround very near tiie bushes In which Brownie was hiding. Sudden ly Brownie gave a little gasp. Yes sir. he gave a little gasp. He blinked his eyes. He blinked them again and a third time. On one of Welcome Robin's !*-ge was a little shiny band just like the one on his own leg Brownie couldn't be lieve it at first. But as Welcome Robin hopped nearer there was no doubt about it. Instantly Brownie came out of hid -I Her Leadership Unchallenged Yet Omaha Very Modest About It 1 In many important lines of endeavor, our city stands out as leader, but with the natural reti cence of her citizenship. Omaha has been very modest about it. Jobbing is one of Omaha's immense enter prises. In proportion to her population. Omaha, distributes through her jobbing houses more mer :handise than any other city in the United States. Omaha s wholesale business last year amounted to more than $434,000,000. \ In this tremendous business the leading lines arc groceries and provisions, motor cars, dry goods, oil and greases, lumber, coal and coke. For these articles and many others, our city is virtually the supply depot of the middle west. Year by year. Omaha’s wholesale business is growing larger and larger. All Omaha is growing, and the telephone company piust grow with it. Not only must we obtain vast sums of money from investors to build additional facilities, but we must select md train large numbers of new employees re quired by the increased demands for service. j In order to do our part m helping Omaha go for ward, our constant effort is to provide the best pos sible telephone service at the lowest possible charges consistent with reasonable wages to employees «nd a fair return on the value of the property. Bell System • ■ i Northwestern Bell Telephone Company i One Policy, One System, Universal Service, and all directed toward Better Service r ing. lie was so excited he could hardly talk. "Where did you get that thing?” lie ci led. Welcome Robin's bright eyes had instantly seen the little shiny band on the leg of Brownie. 'The same place you got the one on your leg." retorted Welcome. "I didn't suppose any one else had one,” said Brow nie. "It ha* made me feel so queer that T have kept out Of sight.” “W i'll, all I can say is that it is * * tnigliiy queer," said Mr*. Brownie. "Well, you needn't have. said Welcome. "Jt is getting to be quite the thing In the Old Orchard to wear one of these little bands. Mrs. Welcome has one, so has Chippy the Chipping Sparrow. Winsome and Mrs. Bluebird each have one. I thought I saw one on the leg of Little Friend the Song Sparrow ” Brownie thought over thie news for a moment. “Welt, what doe* it all mean?" he asked. Welcome Robin ahook his head 'Don't ask me." said he "X haven f the least Idea.” Then Welcome Robin and Brown.e the Thrasher compared notes on what had happened to them. And each found that the other had had a slm ilar experience. Also each found that the other, for no reason which he could explain, thought that^lt all had something to do with frlemUlneita on the part of Farmer Broom's Boy. , The next story—"Brownie Soothes a Friend." f Copy right 193S > ° femxafc o | juntummunm Zanc Greys Qdthe /last, MAN With KlGHARD DIX LOIS WILSON FRANK CAMPEAU ROBERT EDE80N NO*- BEERY STELLAR SAXOPHOXE QUINTETTE Master Melody Maker* A MACK SEJiXETT COMEDY “SKYLARKING” -DREAMY MELODY* By Kenneth WldfR»r !
