Omahans Buy Substantial Mer
chandise Despite War
Prices; Cheap Things
. Go Begging. :
Every month of the year 1917. with
ihe possible exception of November,
showed aiflncrease in volume of re-
. tail business done in Omaha over the
corresponding month the previous
year. The business during October
vas as good a any October Omaha
lias had in Its history, and some of
,, the retailers are inclined to say that
it was ine-Dcsi joocr lor rciaii
, business the city has ever had. This
they attribute to the fact that a cold
snap came in Octobe. and ' caused
people to rlish for colthing and shoes.
The reverse was true in November.
which was an exceptionally mild
' month. Thus, Uiose who needed fall
and winter clothing ' had rushed to
the stores and supplied themselves
during thctold spell of October and
found themselves provided for in No
. vember, particularly since the month
-- . was mild. ,.'. j .
The Dfccmber business, however,
the retailers say, was unqucstiona
' ably tUfi greatest December business
the city hasvyet enjoyed. Not only
tiiis, but the merchandise sold was of
a more stable character than in past
years. People were not seeking the
cheap things in merchandise.; They
were looking for substantial goods
and they insisted upon it Many of
the clerks have reported that very
... frequently when they showed a man
a suit-lie insisted upon a $30 or
$40 suit, and whenMhey showed a
man a $1S; suit he insisted upon a
S-'o suit. ' : . , v .'..
. Prices Were Hif her, '
It is true that most 'merchandise
sold at a higher figure this year than
last. Brit this, the retailers say, will
. by tio means account for the increase
in the volume of business done in
.dollars and cents. ? i
Big retailers of the city estimate
. the retail business of Omaha for the
:ntirc year will run 20 to 22 per cent
ihead of last year. One .of the big
' department store merchants, says' his
business ran 35 per cent over the
volume of last year, and be confessed
that he himself was .astonished when
the books were opened to him reveal
. ing such a volume. t ' - --
, - The shoe business ran ahead of last
' year in dollars atyl , cents. Here,
perhaps, thcorice has advanced dur
ing theyear enqugli to swell consid
erably the total volume of monev
taken in, even though the amount of
' goods turned had been the same as
last year. However, dealers are free
to say that theV turned in more goods
aivd the business has been highly sat
isfactory. 7 . ,
In the Jewelry line the retail busi
v ness has run far ahead of last' year,
.Diamonds were wortf in demand than
'ever before, despite all the talk of
conservation. Wrist watches for sol-
dicrs and bracelet watches for the
ladies were among'the most popular
articles in this line.
Biggest Year in History of
' County C!.:k's Office Reported
( The annual, report of County Clerk
Dewey shows the greatest volume f
business in the history of the office.
The surplus fees turned in are notice
ably the largest of any previous year.
The best business barometer in the
city; Dewey maintains, is the number
of chattel mortgage and sales con-
tracts with the amount of money in
volved filed during the year," These
filings indicate money transactions.
When times are -good the chattel
" mortgages and sales increase and de
crease in hard times. In 1917 the'.rec-
ord was broken by the filing of 8.182
chattel mortgage and sales contracts
involving sales etjual to $18,443,843.
During the bad times of 1897-8 the
mortgages ran as low as $150 to $200
a month. In 1916 only 6,921 of these
transactions were recorded. -.- --
The report shows 1,251 municipal
and school bonds recorded, 291 bills
of sale, 2,950 chattel mortgages, 5,377
sates contracts; 304 incorporation. 19
partnership agreements, 272 notary
" ,-public licenses, 43 physicians licenses.
104 nurses' licenses, seven dentists'
licenses, three s osteopaths, 24 em
- balmers, 60 commission merchants'.
- bonds, one license for a veterinary
surgeon, seven powers of attorney,
' i wo licenses ;or optometry, 84 alcohol
permits, 1,500 game licenses and 21
licenses to sell explosives issued dur
ing the year 1917. ,
Contagious Diseases
; Show 50 Per Cent Increase
, Atr increase of m,or.. than 50 per
' cent is .noted in the .nunber of con-
Jagtpus diseases reported during 1917.
, This increase has been most marked
in the smallpox situation which has
been acute during the last , few
! months, particularly in the South
Side, Measles and, chickenpox also
have increased considerably. : . -
. The large total shown for scarlet
,'iever cases n mt was due to an
epidemic, wliiclv was abated during
the early part of this year. It Is noted
that scarlet fever has decreased
nearly 50 per cent, comparing 1916
with 1917. -v.-,-
There were 23, cases of poliomye
litis (infantile paralysis), which was
,ar increase, but comparatively small
in view of the conditions in some

CHURCH BUILDING;
' HINDERED BY WAR
Many New Edifices Planned,
But Scarcity and High Price
of Materials Causes Post-
ponement.
The past year was to have been a
notable one in the church building
line. At the beginning of the year
many new structures were contem
plated, but owing to the declaration
of war, immediately followed by a
raise in price' of building materials,
many were postponed indefinitely.
Construction of the new ( Central
Congregational church, which was to
have been erected this year at a cost
of $150,fXK). has been out off until
after the war. Westminster Fresbf-
terian church wijl not be built Jhis
year owing to the war.' ;
nans have been prepared- for the
rarxvaie rresDyterian cnurcn at a
cost of $30,000, of which $10,000 has
been expended foi"the erection of a
commodious Sunday school, and the
church will probably be erected some
time this year. . :
St. Cecilia's cathedral is nearly
completed, but it will be some time
vet before it is finished, although it
has been used for services for over a
year. The estimated cost of the edi
fice originally was $350,000, but owing
to the advances in material $500,000
will have been expended before the
cathedral is completed. , .
1 St. Peter's Catholic church is now
in t the course of construction at
Thirty-second and Pacific streets, like
wise the First Unitarian church at
Turner boulevard and Harney street.
The Second Church of Christ, Scientist,-which
planned to build a new
church -during 1917, will erect a $60,-
uuu Duilding at rorty-tirst and Daven
port streets,' r .
A new building was planned for St.
Andrew's Episcopal church for 1917,
but war conditions prevented. How
ever, $5,000 was sacnt in .enlarging
and improving the old structure after
moving it from Forty-first and
Charles streets to Forty-sccond and
Hamilton streets.

licenses to wed were issued during
1917, as compared with 2,724 in 1816
and 2,404 in 1915. - -
Stubbendorf does not attribute the
increase so much to the so-called
"slacker marriages," as to the soldier
marriages.. Many of the licenses have
beeti taken out by boys in khaki since
the declaration of war.
Tfje day before Christmas this year

record in the office for a single day's
