BY MELLIFICIA July 12.
Late brides and bridal affairs and
summer visitors arc still keeping so
ciety alive during this corn weather.
After today there will be a lull in the
formal and Informal affairs for Miss
Helen Epeneter and Mr. Albert
6usch. It would not do to have a
tired bride, for weariness begets un
happiness, and brides must always be
radiant. Miss Epeneter will spend
tne lew more days before her mar
riage quietly.
A very attractive set of visitors
makes "in their honor" affairs a
pleasure. Most of them belong to
younger set. but Mrs. Thomas
rown of Cincinnati, who is the truest
of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin T. Swobe, is
occastoninn a ereat manv delisrhtfu'
affairs in the Country club contingent.
This is such an appropriate time to
grumble about the weather. The great
relief from this oppressive burden of
heat is automobiling. But there is a
fly in even that ointment, for if one
wishes to leave the traveled paths he
comes upon unoiled roads. Covered
with dust, warm and listless, society
is expected to be sluggish.
Loyal Nebraskans, however, have
this unfailing consolation. Warm sum
mer weather makes the corn grow, so
all hail King Corn!

By WILLIAM F. KIRK.
Missus White was oaver to our house
last nite & she brot her littel boy with
her, his naim is Waldemar & and he
thinks he is smart. Hi Ma thinks
he is smart, too.
My darling Waldemar, she sed to
Pa & Ma, has about him the silent air
of one who is one day to becum grate
in the counsels of the nashun.
That's good, sed Pa, the nashun
needs sumbody. 1 am gitting old.
My little son is a dreamer, sed
Missus White. Sometimes I think he
senses vishuns that are not for the or
dinary eye.
He looks it, sed Pa. Is it good for
his itummick to have them vishuns?
He never thinks about his stum
mick, led Missus White. He is not
wurdly boy.
Wen the old itummick goes back
on one, sed Pa, it dosent ask one
whether one is wurdly or not. I
ought to know, Fa sed, I used to be
abel to give my stummick a pritty
raw deal. But now I have to treet it
like a primmy donny or it will kick.
Then I asked Waldemar to cum out
in the yard & play catch with me &
he cairn out, but he cuddent catch a
ball & he threw like a gurl.
I am having a perteckly ripping
time, he sed to me, what?
I didn't say anything, I sed.
You are an odd boy, what? he sed.
I dident say a word, I toald him.
Then I asked him if he wanted to
put on the boxing gluvs with me &
he sed, If you doant tell mother I will
do so with grate zest, he sed to me.
So I got my gloves and whisseld for
Skinny Dugan to cum and see the fun.
I wont hit you vary hard, I sed to
Waldemar.
You better, he sed, I am going to
hit you as hard as I can. Then he hit
me on the noas three (3) times bee
foar I cud git up my hand to stop him
& wen I got my hand up he hit me
four (4)times in the stummick. Then
he stopped and sed, We shall call that
the end of the first round.
We shall call it the end of the fite, I
sed. You hit like Tom Sharkey.
I am vary profishunt in the manly
art of self-defense, he jed. My big
brother beleeves in pre-paredness. I
shall be glad to give you instruck
shuns. So I got all the kids together & we
eleck-ted Waldemar President &
Treshurer & Boxing Master of our
club. & he made a speech.
Wen we went into the house I toald
Pa and Ma about it & Pa sed, Well,
well, he is clewer. is he. It reeminds
rr. ; of my boyhood days, Pa sed, wen
I was President of everything & the
idol of all the kids.
A-hem. sed Ma.
Yes, sed Pa, my childhood was full
of glory, but I used to be nice to the
humbel littel boys, too. .
A-hem, sed Ma. Onst a heero, al

July owes its name to the fact that
Julius Caesar was born in it. Two
other names by which the month was
known among the Saxons were Hey
Monat and Maed Monat. The first
related to the hay harvest! and the
second to the meadows, which durinsr
July were in richest blossom.
More than 300 children competed
in thebird picture contest conducted
by the Audubon society, with the aid
of the Jay Burns Baking company, in
a campaign to create interest in tne
study and preservation of birds. The
contest closed Tuesday evening, after
350,000 'colored bird pictures had
been distributed, wrapped in as many
loaves of bread. Twenty-eight prizes,
furnished by the Audubon society,
will be awarded the children who
collected the most bird pictures at
the public library Friday morning at
10 o'clock.
. A 6-year-old, Katherine Terrel, who
lives one mile south of Btllevue, col
lected 188 bird pictures. One day
when there was no bird in the bread
wrapper little Katherine cried so bit
terly that her father had to walk one
half mile to the next neighbor to beg
a bird picture for tjttle Katherine.
Two other little fellows collabo
rated with James Gienger to win the
first prize so that they might all
three possess the field glasses, to
study the birds.
Missouri Boy Enters Contest.
One litle boy in Missouri wrote
Miss Joy Higgins, sfcretary of the
Audubons, asking plaintively, "Do
you suppose those prizes will reach
the town 1 live in?"
"I see I won't win a prize," re
marked a little girl who came over to
the public library, where Miss Anna
Crary was receiving the bird pictures,
"but may I have my pictures back?
I want to keep the bird pictures."
This sentiment was general among
the children, most of them sending
postage for the return of their pic
tures. One child said a neighbor
woman had helped him collect the
pictures on his promise to return her
one set of the fifty bird pictures.
Elsie Mason proved herself a re
markably capable business woman.
Each set of bird pictures was care
fully catalogued and written out In
a neat manner, which pleased Dr. S.
R. Towne, president of the Audu
bons. List of Prize Winner.

The Northwestern Hotel Men's
association concluded its business
session at the Hotel Fontenelle with
a general discussion of hotel prob
lems and election of officers for the
coming year. The invitation of Min
neapolis as the next meeting place
was accepted. The business session
was followed by 1 luncheon at the
Hotel Loyal.
The officers elected for the coming
year are as follows! F. P. Zoiuie,
Minneapolis, ' president; state vice
presidents: Nebraska, Roy Bryant,
Omaha; Iowa, F. E. Bailey, Decorah;
North Dakota, W. E. Boyd, Fargo;
South Dakota, A. L. Davidson, Rapid
City; Minnesota. T. E. Hahnmelina;
Wisconsin, H. B. Crane, Eue Claire;
I. A. Medlar of Omaha, secretary.
The committee on legislation is com
posed of Rome Miller, Omaha, chair
man, and two members from each of
the six states.
John F. Letton read a paper on
"Publicity and Advertising as Ap
plied to the Hotel Business," in
which he advocated strongly a cam
paign of publicity and advertising,
but warned the hotel men that to pay
it must be backed up by quality of
service. He said that one ot the best
sorts of publicity for the hot-1 man
was the ' wagging tongue" kind that
was produced only by satisfied pa
trons. The meeting went on record as
unanimously favoring the establish
ment of a vocational school for hotel
employes as proposed by Henry
Bonn of Chicago, and passed resolu
tions thanking the city and the Hotel
Men's association of Omaha for the
courteous and friendly hospitality
accorded the visitors.

Ho Hum! Postoffice
Clock Gets Second
Coat of Nice Paint
Just when people were beginning to
be glad because the hands and figures
on the face of the postoffice clock
had been painted a bright red, the
second coat was put on and they have
bren turned back to their former
color.
This color matches the color of the
face of the clock, so that now it is
practically impossible to see the
hands at alt.
The benefit of this arrangement is
pointed out, however. For the clock
seldom marks the right time, and
by having the hands invisible this de
fect is rendered harmless.
Teachers' Examinations
To Be Held This Month
Regular teachers' examinations will
be held at the office of the county
superintendent of instruction July 27
to 28.
These examinations will give teach
ers who have been studying at sum
mer school an oppotunity to increase
the grade of their certificates and to
qualify in new subjects. .
Plenty of teachers are available for
all schools in the county next fall.
From five to ten applications are on
file for every available position. Doug
las county schools are in great de
mand and a few vacancies are reported.
Campaign Activity.
To Boost Hughes is
Taking a Start
An effort is already under way to
bring about a consolidation of the re
publican and progressive presidential
electoral ticket so that a single set of
Hughes electors may be presented to
the voters in November. The mat
ter is to be taken up at a meeting of
the progressive itate committee
called by Chairman Corrick for
Thursday at Lincoln, at which a defi
nite plan is to be outlined.
National Committeeman Howell
has been notified of his appointment
to the campaign committee and has
been summoned for hi first meeting
in New York on July 20. Mr. Howell
expects to attend and if the session
continues over several days he will
not get home in time for the republi- i
can state convention, scheduled for
July 25. While eait he will try to
have Nebraska put on the Hughes
itinerary.
As an outgrowth of the co-operative -movement
of Nebraska newspapers
for Hughes in the primary, a call is
being issued by Victor Rosewater of
The Bee for a meeting of the editors
at Lincoln on the morning of the
state convention day to organize into
a Nebraska State Republican Press
association for the purpose of pro
moting team work in the campaign. ',

THE BREAD
WITH
THE FLAVOR
Why buy soggy, half baked bread?
It only discourages you in buying bread at all.
There is a vast difference in the different kinds on
the market.
Tip-Top Bread is always thoroughly baked into firm,
crusty loaves like mother used to make.
Indispensable in thousands of Omaha households.
Often tried and never found
wanting.
Costa no more than the ordinary
kind.
