GUESSING ISUVELY PASTIME
Manufacturers' Contests Are At
tracting Wide Attention.
ANNOUNCE WINNERS JUNE 16
Some of the Boxes Are Delnn Filled
Second Time and Picking of
the Winners Will Not
Be Easy.
Winners .of thi guessing contests being
conducted by the Manufacturers' asso
ciation, which Is conducting the window
displays this week, will be announced
June 16.
The manufacturers believe it will take
ihat long a time to pick out the winners.
Many of the' guessing boxes are already
iiiled with the little blank, cardboards
g.ven out in the stores and some have
begun filling boxes the ' second time.
I I. Ellick of the Omaha Printing com
pany found that the box at his display
1n the Walk-Over 'Shoe company' con
tained 5,100 guesses the second day of
window display rweek. The contest 0
the printing company. Is unusually diffi
cult,, too. A 'glass jar, filled with pieces
of type, i. there, the number of pieces in
the jar to be guessed- There Is no possi
ble way of counting them and the winner
undoubtedly will be one who li able to
take a random shot. . It will be a guefs,
pure and siitfple. .
- Hard Ant to Crack.
. ' The printers ' seemed to have chosen
the most puzzling problems of any of
the manufacturers. The National Print
ing . company,' which has a display In
Ins City National bank building, has a
guessing contest, , the winner of ' which
must be a good linguist, a person of
steady nerves, -good eyes and a plethora
of patience. In the. . window are two
frames of printing done in several lan
guages . in aniall and large type. The
contest Is' to count the number of "As"
contained in the printing In the two
'frames; One man, after figuring on the
thing for an hour and a half gave it up,
saying he would wait until he could get
a day off and bring a camp chair down
In front of the wlidow. .
; In the space from Seventeenth to Four
teenth streets and from Dodge to Jack
ton streets, the district of the displays,
there are many problems less difficult.
Fen-, however, have as valuable a prize
as is offered by the National Printing
company. A gold , watch and fob will go
to the winner of this guessing contest.
The contests will be open Saturday
night and a rush is expected by the re
tailers. . At the meeting of the Manu
facturers', association yesterday It was
decided to hold the contest until Monday
evening after arguments came up about
closing them Saturday night at 8 o'clock.
It was stated that Saturday night would
be the very time every' one would want
to register a guess.
Good Citizenship
Day to Be Observed
Sunday Before 4th
;Rev, T. M. Evans of Fullerton, Neb.,
representing the' Nebraska Christian En
deavor union, has requested the city com
mission to turn the parks over to his or
ganization for religious exercises on the
Sunday before the . Fourth of July. The
:oun:it has deferred action until Tuesday.
Commissioners generally objected to the
porposat made by Mr. Evans on the
LTnnntl that : . ha vine renpstedlv rpfTlfted
to open the parks to public speakers,
breaking, the rule now . would ultimately
mean any religious,, political or civic or
ganization could secure permission.
;-We want this Sunday before the
fourth to be observed as Good Citizen
ship day," said Rev. Mr. Evans. "The
sxert ises would be under the auspices of
the Young Men's Christian association,
pur purpose, is to have clergymen, states
men, lecturers, educators, reformers and
editors, as well as newspapers, maga
aines and periodicals, vie with each other
in bringing to the minds of the people
their best thoughts on good citizenship
in its various phases."
Each member of the council was given
a circular, with a quotation from James
1:22, "Be ye doers of the word, and not
hearers only." Quotations from many
men, all of whom had endorsed the good
citizenship idea, were given In the circu
lar. Mr. Evans said the move was a na
tional one. The organization's motto is,
"I will honor, my country's flag and obey
its laws."'

Long Talks Are to
Be Tabooed by the
New Commissioners
Fourth of July oratory has lost its sa vor
for the city council. Its taste is bad in
their mouths. This much they gave a
promising orator to , understand this
morning when they frowned upon his
earnest effort to speak from 12 to I:S-.t
o'clock. The earnest member was Jo-'
B Hummel. Colonel Jack Ryder first
voiced his disapproval of the efforts of
the gentleman who heads the park de
partment. "Make a motion! Make a motion!"
advised the colonel, "what's the use of
talking about it all day." Hummel
grinned. Gracefully he submitted. He
made the motion and Colonel Ryder
voted with him. It was a matter of
minor business and had been discussed
with enthusiasm for thirty minutes.
"Can't say that I can see any use of
Fourth of July orations either," said the
mayor. Hummel looked pained, but he
made no protest and remained very meek.
Hereafter, it Is understood, when there
is to be an oratorical effort on the part
of any commissioner previous announce
ment of the fact will be made. There
is a growing suspicion, however, that
speeches will be made subject to a five
nilnute limit.
Crop Damage Not
Bad as Reported
Assistant General Freight Agent John
son of the Burlington is back from a trip
Into the South Platte country, where he
went for the purpose of ascertaining the
condition of the wheat crop. His trip
carried him to the west part of the
state and along the lines into Kansas.
After having traveled 1.000 miles
through southern Nebraska and northern
Kansas, Mr. Johnson finds that winter
wheat has been considerably damaged by
the dry weather, but not nearly sd much
as if the temperatures had been high.
He finds the crop extremely spotted. In
some localities, the growing grain Is ex
cellent and filling well, while in other
places but a short distance away, it has
"fired" and not more than a half crop
Is expected.
Corn does not seem to have been badly
damaged, but owing to the continued cold
weather, it is making little progress.
Some of It is being seriously injured by
cut worms.
According to the railroad weather re
ports, the South Platte country was the
only portion of Nebraska visited by rain
during the last twenty-f iur hours. At
Minden there was an inch, and one-half
Inch at Holrege and Oxford Junction,
while at Norton.-Kan., and along the
St. Francis branch, there was from an
inch to an Inch and one-fourth.
Cold weather confines all over Ne
braska, at Sidney last night the temper
ature running down to 40 degrees above
zero. "
