Another $8,200 was added to the
subscriptions for the Brownell Hall
rebuilding fund when the seventeen
canvassing teams reported their re
turns at the noon luncheon in the
Hotel fontenclle.
This makes a total of $87,134.
Colonel T. W. McCullough, manag
ing editor of The Omaha Bee, was
the speaker scheduled for a "pep"
talk, as the teams must hear a "pep"
talk every day after they have report
ed the results of their canvass.
Colonel McCullough assured the
Omaha Bee in the movement for a
quarter million fund for rebuilding the
school and assured them that the re
quired amount will be raised in the
time set-
Keep Pot Boiling.
"All you will need to do," he said,
'is to keep the pot boiling at about
the pitch it has now attained. There
is no enterprise so comprehensive or
big that it cannot be put over and
accomplished by the earnest co-operation
of an organization of this kind.
When you get an influence like this
moving in a definite purpose in -a
town like Omaha the thing is done
when it is started; the going through
with it is merely a deta;l. An in
stitution like Brownell Hall, whose
influence reaches the home life of
the community through its mission of
teaching the young women to be
come the women of the future, is
doing a work that is far beyond the
understanding of any of us. We can
not measure it."
One of the largest individual sub
scriptions reported for the day was
that of the women of Trinity cathe
dral who subscribed $1,000. They
divided it into four parts, subscribing
$250 through each ot tour ot the
women's teams.

The trustees of Brownell Hall
have not been shirking at all in the
matter of personal subscriptions for
the $250,000 rebuilding fund. There
lias been much inquiry as- to what
part the trustees are taking. Business
men solicited for subscriptions are
askng, "What have the trustees done
personally? x
The .executive committee of the
campaign has just issued a statement
showing that already $41,850 has been
contributed by trustees ' and their
families toward the building fund and
toward a special fund which is to
provde for all the expenses of the
campagn.
Nor is that all. In addition to the
cash subscriptions made by members
of the official board, a gift of at least
$25,000 is represented in the donation
by Messrs. Charles C. George and J.
h.. Lieorge ot a plot ot eleven acres,
comprising the campus on which the
new and greater Brownell is to be
erected. This gift is not included in
the amoun: reported in the campaign,
but experts declare the above figure
to be a conservative estimate of its
value.
It will thus be seen that trustees
and their relatives have contributed
more than one-third of the $78,934
which was reported as the total raised
to date in the quarter-million effort,
and this without including the land

Villa Bandits Run
All Over Vera Cruz,
Threaten Americans
That Villa bandits are ruling the
state of Vera Cruz in Mexico, steal
ing and pillaging and threatening the
lives of Americans on every side, is
the news George S. Gould, who is I si,oui( BO home and try to
concluding a rancn in tne luruuiem
country, writes to his wife, who was
formerly Miss Ella Armstrong,
Twenty-fourth street and Indiana av
enue, Omaha.
Gould tells in his letter of a raid
by Villa bandits on Playa Vicente,
the capital ot Vera Cruz, about
twenty miles from the Gould planta
tion. This raid, he said, netted the
bandits SlOO.OOGKrn Mexican money
and property. Their other activities
included outrages on women and chil
dren. An American, Charles Mc-
Kim of San Francisco, was robbed
of $1,500 after the Mexicans had
strung him up from the limb of a
tree. He was not hung, merely tor
tured. Then he was thrown into
prison, but escaped. He is now tak
ing refuge on the Gould ranch, which
has not been molested as yet.
Mrs. Gould had planned to go to
Mexico to join her husband for Christ
mas, but his letter warns her to re
main at home. "Vera Cruz, once re
garded as the most sanitary city in
the world, is now the opposite,"
wrote her husband. "Typhus, small
pox and yellow fever are rampant in j
the place."
Pioneer Woman Dies at '
Her Home in Benson
Mrs. Carolina Huf, pioneer resident
of Benson, died Tuesday afternoon
at the home of her son-in-law, George
Snell, 6003 Bryan street. Carolina
Myer was born October 27, 1836, at
Rheden near Hanover, Germany. She
came to this country "at the age of
16 and was married in 1854 to Martin
Huf of St. Mary's, la. This town
was washed away by the Missouri
river, which was the cause ot their
moving to Omaha two years later.
In 188o she came to Benson to live
with her daughter. When Mrs. Snell
died nineteen years ago Mrs. Huf un
dertook the care of the four children
left motherless by her daughter'
death. These are Edna, Myrtle and
Carolyn Snell and W. R. Snell. An
other daughter, Mrs. Carrie Mounts,
and Ave grandchildren and two great
grandchildren also survive. .
services will be held f riday at i:M
p. m. from the English Lutheran
church at Benson. Rev. C. Wilbur
Nelson and Rev. C. J. Ringer will
have charge of the services.
Vicious Bulldog Brings
. Old Friends Together
Old friends met in police court,
when Mrs.' Georgiana Hanson, 2016
Chicago aventrc, appeared against
Sam Jones, ' 2819 Cass street, who,
she says, owns a vicious bulldog.
"Hello, Sam," she said, "I haven't
seen you in years.
I ones was instructed to keep the
dog tied up.
The sial uvinc situation is the
thing oi keenest interest at the pres
ent moment to the delegates attend
ing the convention of the Midwest
Implement Dealers' association and
the Implement show at the Audito
rium, beginning yesterday.
1'resitlent C. E. Galaghcr of Co'er
idge and Secretary James Wallace oi
Council Bluffs both touched on the
subject in their opening talks lo ijic
convention Wednesday afternoon.
"There is no relief in sight front
the greed of this trust," said Presi
dent Galagher. "The Mexican com
bine refuses to let go any oi t lie cor
nered product. We must inlereM va
rious fanners' organizations lo get
active on this matter and go before
congress. Everv implement dealer
mieresl
the local farmers organization, the
farmers' unions and others lo send
protests to their congressmen and
senators."
Secretary Jaines Wallace said: " I he
solution of the sisal situation rests
with the federal trade commission.
We must bring influence to hear on
the commission and on congress this
winter."
President C. E. Galagher, in the
president's annual address, said
among other things: "Co-operation u
the greatest force that man has not
learned to use. It will surely over
come any obstacle, and it looks to
me like it is up to the implement deal
er to fall in line and be ready to co
operate, not only with the consumer,
but also with our friends, thejobbcrs.1
manufacturers and travelers."
He urged that the implement busi
ness be placed on a more strictly
merchandise basis, or as he said.
"Practically a cash basis." "It is
about time for the implement man
to stop playing banker for his com
munity." he said. "We all have good
banks in our towns and they have
plenty of money which they arc will
ing to loan. Let them take care of
that end of it."
Educate Farmers.
Secretary Wallace in his report, be
sides urging action on the sisal situa
tion, urged the dealers to educate the
farmers to the necessity of getting
llteir ortlers ill early instead of wait
ing tin t it mid-harvest before ordering
a hinder and likewise in tire case oi
other machinery.
Also he said, "It is about time to
gel out of the 'use-it-avhile-and-send-it-haek'
method of doing business.
This annually results in the loss of
many thousands of dollars worth of
machinery to the dealer."
The implement dealers' convention
is to continue for threedays. Many
farmers 6f the Farmers congress in
session at the Hotel Castle are visit
ing the implement show at the Audi
torium and some are also atlendiug
the sessions of the implement con
vention. The sessions are all open
and President Galagher has especial
ly invited the farmers.
