Polly, the Shopper, Satisfies Women By Clever Buying Out-of-town people are recognizing what a boon the professional shopper is. "Polly," on the staff of The Bee, whose chatty notes on what is new in the stores and about town appear in each Sunday society section, has been busy taking care of the needs of women out in the state and Iowa who were unable to come to Omaha themselves to take advantage of the January clearance sales. i some ladies are in a hurry a dress maker engaged for the next day and the trimming or buttons for the new frock cannot be found in the small city in which they reside so they telephone rolly the description of the material required and she hastens to one of the stores and has it sent out on the first mail via parcel post. Women are. grateful, too, for this quick service. A lady residing' in the central part of the state writes: "My Dear roily: lhat was, Special de livery with a capital to every letter, and I thank you a thousand times. If vou wish any recommendations vou know where to' get them and now I have another request to make, etc. By the way, this lady has written sev eral times and the shopping for her has been particularly interesting, as in each instance the requests have been for such beautiful, things. rrom a near-by' town a letter came enclosing a sample of silk which was to be matched in crepe de chine or taffeta for a Russian blouse to wear with a suit. Some samples were im mediately sent and the next day this little note came: "Am pleased with sample you sent me today. You may send me three yards of the silk. Thanking you for your prompt serv ice." It was such a pleasure to select for a tiny tad his very first suit of clothes. The mother wrote: "We re ceived the suit from (naming firm from which the purchase was made) and it just fits him fine. He is quite proud of his first suit. We thank you very much, and will surely write you again if in need of anythirlg." Don t torget this shopping service is free of charge to our readers, and Polly will be glad to help you with your wants, whether it is a spool of thread or a piano. If you live in Omaha and are at a loss to know where a certain thing can be found you may call her by telephone at The Bee office Tyler 1000 and she may be able to,help you with her advice. C. N. Dietz Salesmen and Yard Managers to Meet Thirty-five traveling salesmen and yard managers for the C. N. Dietz Lumber company, will be in session for two days, commencing Monday morning, in what O. W. Dunn, gen eral manager, calls a "Get-together-meeting." They will discuss business methods, and experienced managers wilt speak on- assigned or chosen topics, such as, "Retail Yard Advertising," "The Value of Location in Business," "Branch Yard Comparisons," "Can Coal Be Put On a Cash Basis?" "Courtesy in Business," "Pushing Collections In a Prosperous Year," etc., etc. They will be quartered at the Fontenelle, and while here will be entertained by the firm at luncheon, theater parties, etc. These meetings occur annually, and, while involving7 considerable ex pense, have been found to be very beneficial to all concerned. Three Autos Stolen and Two of Them Recovered Of three automobiles reported stolen within the last two days, two have been recovered. A seven-passenger Moline-Knight car, owned by B. B. Billings, 348 North Thirty-seventh street, stolen from in front of the Orpheum theater, was found at Tenth and Douglas streets, and a five-passenger Ford, owned by T. A. Clark, 4604 Cuming street, stolen from in front of the Empress theater, was recovered at Fortieth and Burt streets.

Speculators Slock to Buying Side And Wheat Rises Sharply. Chicago, Jan. 6. Emperor William's message to his troops that the war would continue, acted as one of the many ele ments today, that forced a sharp advance In the price of wheat. After an extreme rise of 6 4 the market reacted, but closed strong, 2 to 44 net higher; with May at $1,844 to $1,864. snd July, $1,514 to $1,614. Other staples, too, scored substan tial galne corn, 14 to 14; oats, 1 to 14, and provisions, 12c to 32c. Right from the beginning the market dis played notable strength. Besides the bel ligerent announcement from the German emperor, the course of the senate In deal ing with President WUnon's appeal to the European combatants appeared to have had special effect toward changing sentiment In favor of the bull side of the market leaders in yesterday's netting became con spicuous buyers and the -scarcity of offer ings was so pronounced that the advance In values mot no material opposition until In the last hour profit taking and weakened evening up of trades caused a sag. Enthusiasm of wheat buyers rented to a considerable extent on advices that the number of vessels at the Gulf of Mexico ports was ample. Much attention also was given to statements that domestic stocks outside of the commercial visible supply were rapidly disappearing and that the decrease was likely in the visible supply total on Monday. Corn ascended to $1 a bushel, May, de livery, the highest price since 1892 and with that exception the topmost level In forty years. Active European buying of futures seemed to be largely responsible, Oats shared the strength of other cereals. Liberal purchasing tor the seaboard helped to lift the market. 'Advancing quotations on hogs and grain caused free buying of provisions. Notice was taken also of the fact that western re ceipts of hogs for the week totalled only 607,000, as against 878,000 a year ago. Cash Prices Wheat:- No. 2 red and Nos. 2 and 2 hard, nominal.

Hogs It was about the same story as yesterday In the hog trade thla morning, though tbe advance was not quite so large. Shippers had big orders and again took a Jtood percentage of the offerings, paying prices that were ell the way from a nickel to I60 higher, and In extreme oases even mors than that. Packers followed the shipper lead and filled their more urgent orders at prices that were around a dime higher. The mar ket was about the most uneven of the week, for while the average was about 10c higher there were Individual sales all the way from not muetf more than steady to 16020c higher. Most of the offerings moved at a spread of $16.00010.40 and tops reached $10.60. Vetoes are 3O04Oo higher than a week ago and the highest on record for January. In fact, prices are getting to within striking distance 'of the record fig ures hung up last September, whan tops reached $11.10 and the average went as high as $10.70. Shipping demand has been tbe big factor In this week's advance and con sequently good butcher weights and heavies show, if anything, the moat edvanoe, though all gradea have moved up sharply.

Lieutenant From French Front Will TeUofTrenches Omarla is to receive a visit from Lieutenant Zinovi Pechkoff of the French Foreign Legion, who will be here January 19 and 2o. This young man is an adopted son of the Russian novelist, Maxim Gorky. He was in Italy at the time of the putbreak of the war engaged in literary work. Finding it impos sible to go to Russia he enlisted as a private in the French Foreign Le gion and since then he says he owes his life to the American ambulance. He comes to Omaha bringing a mes sage of gratitude from the French government, as well as a personal one, for he tells of the service to humanity which is being done by the Americans in maintaining the Ameri can hospital work in France. The war relief societies which have been at work for some time in Oma ha in making supplies, will present Lieutenant Pechkoff at an afternoon meeting at a place and time to be an nounced later. There will be no ad mission nor collection taken at the meeting, the object being entirely to put before the people of the United States the great work being done by the Americans for humanity. Omahans here heard directly of the wonderful hospital work in France, which is caring for 1,000 patients daily, from the letters of Omaha young men who are serving and have served in the work for this hospital. Carr Ringwalf, son of Mr. and Mrs. lohn R. Rintrwalt. is now driving an ambulance for this hospital. Victor Caldwell served in this same work for several .months and Montague Tancock will be remembered for his ambulance work in Serbia. Lieutenant Pechkoff has already ac cepted an invitation from the Omaha club to be the guest of honor at the annual dinner and will be a guest at dinner at the University club Friday evening, January iv. Merchants National Says It Did Not Lose on Defrani Officials of the Merchants National bank have announced that they are in no way interested in the case of Joseph Defrani, alias Lucas, who passed through Omaha Thursday night in the custody of detectives, on his way to Detroit where he is wanted for check frauds. Published reports said that the local bank had been defrauded of $1,800 by Defrani, but officials of the bank assert that Defratii's business with them was entirely satisfactory. This limits the losses in Omaha, due to Defrani's operations to those suffered by the Omaha National and first National banks. M YORK STOCKS Market Quiet and Narrow, .

Kane Gets Hair Cut, But Not the Regulation Kind Is there any one in Omaha who will give employment to a trusting country youth, aged 17 years, who came to Omaha yesterday and fell among practical jokers, with the at tending result that he is now with out eye-brows and wearing a haircut that looks like a nobby-tread auto tire? .'-'': Charles Kane, Glenn, Colo., aged 17 years, walked to Omaha, and ap plied for food at a pool hall and bar ber shop. He was given food and a chance to pay for it by working. While at his task, a man who jibed him about the length and unkempt ness of his hair, persuaded him into submitting to a haircut. ' The joker cut off Kane's eye brows and ran a pair of clippers criss-cross about his head. "Now you've got the latest style, non-skid haircut. . You won't need chains on your skull now to keep your brain from slipping," the joker exclaimed. The boy cried when he saw himself in a mirror. He knew it would be an impossibility to find a job until his hair grew out again. ' Juvenile 'Officer Miller arrested Jack Lynch, a carpenter, on a charge of malicious mischief, when the boy identified him as the man who, under the pretext of being a barber, offered to give him a free hair cut.
