WATTLES TO TOUR
STATE FOR FOOD
CAMPAIGN WORK
Cards Being Distributed By
House to House Canvass and
All Are Urged to
Sign.
State Food Administrator Gurdon
VV. Wattles will leave Omaha to
day for a state campaign in the in
terests of food pledge week.
Arriving at Lincoln Tuesday morn
ing. Mr. Wattles will address the
University of Nebraska students; at
noon he will appear1 before the Capi
tal City Rotary club and tonight ad
dresses a state food conservation pub
lic meeting.
' Departing from Lincoln, Mr. Wat
tles will appear before a public meet
ing at Grand Island Wednesday to
appeal for material assistance in the
effort to overcome kaiserism.
Campaign Now On.
A house-to-house canvass by food
adminstration workers to secure
pledges for the conservation of food
began in earnest in Omaha this morn-
This work will be the chief feature
of pledfje card week, which began
October 28 and will continue until
November 4. The school children
of Omaha, who conducted their cam
paign last week, secured in the neigh
borhood of 25,000 pledges and the ef
fort will now concentrate around
those families not reached by the
schools. ,
, A very accurate record will be kept
of all persons who do not sign pledge
cards as well as of those who do.
In order to make known the names
of those who refuse to sign the cards
a published list will in all probability
be furnished by the Omaha Commer
cial club.
. To Keep Complete Record.
Within a few days accurate figures
of the progress of the campaign will
be available. s
Frank Boyd, chairman irf charge of
the Douglas county campaign, called
a meeting of his precinct chairmen
yesterday and gave them final in
structions for the carrying out of the
campaign. The entire city will be di
vided into approximately one block
per man.
Following State Food Administra
tor 'Hoover's appeal for .everybome
to pledge itself to assist in overcom
ing aristocracy, the workers expect to
have little difficulty in explaining
away any doubt that may remain in
the minds, of housewives. Two cards
will be given to each member, one to
be placed in the front window, and
another to be tacked in a conspicuous
place in the kitchen.
The "Home Card," which goes intu
the kitchen, should act as a constant
reminder of the world war and what
4lif fnnrl rnnervatinn ramnaicn frrallv
; means. It deals with article which
, are considered scarce, how to over
5bme meatless davs, new ways of
preparing vegetables and fruits and
many helpful general suggestions.
When the workers arrive at the
respective Omaha homes housewives
are urged to be ready to sign the card
Surgeons Who Split Fees Not -N
Permitted in Licensed hospitals
Several important measures were
adopted at the recent convention of
the Clinical Congress of Surgeons and
the sixth convocation of the Ameri
can College of Surgeons, held in Chi
cago, according to Drs. A. F. Jonas
and Charles A.-Hull, two of Omaha's
prominent surgeons, who attended the
conventions.
The congress decided to make a
omplcte canvass ot all the hospitals
or the country, similar to the one
made recently bythe government, and
publish a list of the institutions which
meet the minimum standard of effi
ciency set by the surgeons. All
Omaha hospitals have turned over
their invoices to the government and
are now waiting to be classed or called
upon for service.
The "divided fee" evil, whereby sur
geons split the fee with hospitals, was
Sharply condemned by the convention
and action was taken to bring about
its extermination. The college will
insist that physicians and surgeons
who divide fees shall not be permitted
to practice in any approved hospital,
when the classifications are com
pleted. Dr. Hull was in attendance at all
the sessions of the two conventions.
Dr. Jonas spending a few days of last
week in attendance.
and delay the campaign as little as
possible.
TheMvork for the entire state is
being carefully tabulated by the
Omaha bureau. The local offices arc
being deluged with telegrams and
letters urging that more cards be
shipped to the Nebraska towns. The
supply of front-window cards on hand
proved all too few, and a request to
Washington for 25,000 more has been
made. 1
To Bar Frozen Potatoes.
Mr. Wattlcsi in a special appeal to
Nebraska railroads entering Omaha
requested that they refuse to accept
frozen potatoes for shipment to Oma
ha. The request met hearty co-operation
by all the roads, including the
Burlington, Northwestern and Union
Pacific, who will henceforth carefully
examine the spuds before they are
placed in box cars.
The frozen potato evil, according
to Victor Parrish, publicity manager
of the Omaha Commercial club, has
been particularly in evidence among
peddlers throughout the city, they
claiming the potatoes were nipped
before arriving in the city.
Timely Warning Saves Fort

J. G. Fort, 4805 Capitol avenue,
escaped possible injuries from flames
owing to a timely warning of M. II.

at the time. His family was out of

Received at Hands of
father.
Tears streaming down his cheeks,
Frank Polokovic. 12 years old, told
Judge Madden in police court yester

had received at hands of his father
The little Polish lad explained that
his father would bring groceries home
for himself to eat and force his mother
and sister to projde for themselves.
Mrs. Polokovic works at one of the
packing houses and from her earnings
had given her husband $300 to buy
hogs at the market. The venture, pros
pered, she said, ana her husband then
wanted to divorce her. Her treatment
was the result of' this, according to
her testimony.
Polokovic's attorney, who is de
fending him on an assault and battery
charge preferred by the wife, asked
to have the case continued until
Wednesday:, but Judge Madden said
he would hold the man in jail until

served the protection of the law. The
case will be heard this morning.

SALMONS SWAY IN
THE COLD BREEZE
Big Bags Swing Wildly in the
High Wind, Making it Hard
to Set the Instruments.
Students at Fort Omaha worked
under difficulty Monday, for the great
bag of the kite balloon swayed and
j swung wildly in the wind, and the !it-
tie basket beneath tipped and whirled
i about till those on the ground fully
i expected to see the students pi'ched
I to the ground.
1 "That's all right," said everyone.
"We will have to work under worse
conditions this winter in France. We
aren't going to let a little wind and
cold frighten us."
It was hard to set the instruments
and take jbsrvations in a rolling.
tossing basket, but that is what wilj
have to be done at times on the fifing
line, so it is all good practice for the
soidiers.
The cold weather reminded Leo
Stevens of one of his most famous
balloon flights in the east several
vears ago. He-started f rom Pitts
"lield, MaSs.. when the thermometer
registered 30 degrees bel6w zero, with
a lot of carrier pigeons to send back.
He sent the pigeons, out according to
schedule, but they froze solid before
they touched the ground and were
found where, they bad dropped with
the little messages tied to their necks.
Mr. Stevens had been provided with
plenty of warm wrappings, so he con
tinued his flight and landed afely
later in the day.
Grain Receipts Boosted.
Omaha grain receipts were boosted
yesterday by the arrival of 124 car
loads of oats, the largest consignment

a quarter of a cent, with sales at 57)4
