Scriptural teachings assert that
the greatest of the three cardinal
virtues is charity. If this be true, a
certain housewife living on Twenty -seventh
and Ohio streets, should be
numbered among Omaha's greatest
citizens. A wandering beggar
stopped at her door Saturday and
asked for food! It was supplied
him, and he offered to do some
chores about 'the house. The ofiet
was accepted, and he did the work
and departed.
So did $42 of the lady's money. :
The police were notified and arrest
ed the man, who offered to divulge
the hiding place of the "swag," pro
viding he was not prosecuted. He
took the officers to a nearby tele
graph pole, and uncovered the
money, which was hidden near its
base. The money was taken back
to the owner, who asked that the
man be released, and gave him a
dollar.

SOLDIER LADS FROM CAMPS
FUNST0N AND DODGE SHOW
SKILL W1TH WEAPONS OF WAR
More Than 3,000 Omahans Are Thrijled by Trench Tricks
Displayed at Big Athletic Carnival; Mike Gibbons
'And Earl Caddock Give Exhibitions; Bay
onet Drills Are Thrillers.
An audience of more than 3,000 cheered the soldier boys
from Camps Funstpn and Dodge in the Auditorium Saturday
where an army athletic carnival was staged with all the thrills
and verve that marked a similar event at Kansas City a week
ago.
REPLETE WITH INTEREST. '
The program was replete with in
terest from first to last and aside
from the entertainment feature, it af
forded some striking object lessons
in the manner of training at the can
tonments and of what is awaiting the
boches when these boys get over.
Lieutenant- B. Baumber, British
bayonet wonder, led a platoon of the
Funston soldiers through a series of
movements which reflected the skilled
training they have received, as well
as furnishing the audience with r nic
thing which, stimulated, ttie circula
tion.
Yell and Charge.
The Dodge boys demonstrated Uitir
training at bayonet charging, dum
mies being suspended to represent the
enemies. As these soldiers impaled
their bayonets into these inanimate
forms they uttered grewsome yells,
which did not suggest pacificism. The
drill teams from Funston and Dodge
received enthusiastic applause, their
stunts beii.g sufficiently varied to add
zest tc this feature.
Wrestling and boxing matches
were staged with two sets goiiig at
the same time. The three-round box
ing exliihitlvns were lively and good
natured and had just enough pep to
make them wbrth while. Wrestling
matches showed that there is much
mat talent at both camps.
The piece de resistance of the box
ing part of the rrogram was an ex
hibition by Mike Gibbons, middle
weight champion of the world, with
Kid Graves, boxing instructor at Fort
Crook.
Rescue races, bayonet fighting con
tests, shuttle races, stretcher races,
machine gun exhibition drills and
hand grenade throwing contests were
other features. The yHted States in
fantry band from Fort Crook played
patriotic music during the program
and shared in the approbation.
Captain Paul VVithington and Cap
tain ,"ohn L. Griffith! were the ath
letic directors for Funston and
Dodge, respectively. '
Eari Candock gave a brief wres
tling exhibition with somebody
whose name nobody could under
stand, the anhou icer being called
upon repeatedly during the evening
to divulge the names of the wres
tlers and boxers as the program did
not show the names.
Result Is Tie. ,
The carnival was declared no con
test" following;an agreement entered
into by Director Griffth of Dodge and
Director VVithington of Funston. This
agreement was made because two of
the scheduled boxing bouts and, one
wrestling match were not held owing
to the failure of the Dodge men to
appear because they took a late train
from Des Moines and the train did
not arrive in Omaha on time. Techni
cally Funston might have been de
clared winner of the meet.
CENTRAL QUINT
BEATS S0UTHIES
IN EASY FASHION
Central High's basket ball five de
feated the South High team 40 to 23
last night on the Young Men's Chris
tian association floor. The game was
fast with some nice playing, but was
Central's from start to -finish due' to
the latter's superiority in locating the
basket.
Maxwell and Smith 'were the stars
of the game. Smith earned his new
position at forward and proved his
right to it by scoring nine field goals.
Maxwell was highest individual .point
maker with 18 points.
Volz, Coach Fatton's star forward,
was out of- the game because of an
attack of tonsilitis. A. Smith started
for Rusjcll who remained on the side
lines until the latter part of the sec
ond half. Rattseck was taken, out of
the game with an injured face after
two minutes of play.
The game was preceded by a con
test between the Centrul High Soph
omores and Juniors in which the
former were the winners. The Seniors
beat the Freshies as a second prelim
inary. The lineup and summary:

FOOD CARDS TO
BE PERMUTED
IF ADVISABLE
Requests for the System Come
From Various Communities
Where Hoarding Is
Suspected.
Requests from different parts of
the state that a voluntary food card
system be inaugurated have come to
Gurdon W. Wattles, federal food ad
ministrator, with such direct appeal
that yesterday afternoon he issued
this statement:
"Voluntary card systems may be
instituted by county food admini
strators of counties if they deem it
advisable." He approves the card sys
tem schemes if th:y are desired by
the people of the respective com
munities. The requests for these drastic
changes in rules particularly relate
to the distribution of flour and sugar.
Objection is raised that in many
places, some people are resorting to
unfair methods and arc purchasing
more than is permitted under the
rules. That they duplicate their pur
chases, going from store to store and
buying the limit permitted under the
existing regulations, is charged.

SUMMARY OF
FOOD RULES IN
FORCE IN STATE
Gurdon W. Wattles, federal food
administrator for Nebraska, has sum
marized the new rules and regulations
as to the use and sale of foods, whicM
are effective at the present time. It
touches the subject of selling by re
tailers and wholesalers, purchase by
consumers, hoarding, baking rules,
wheatless days and meals and meat
less days and meals. Following is the
summary:
Purchase of Foodstuffs by Individ
ualsConsumers, when buying wheat
flour, must purchase at the same time
an equal rnmunt of other cereals. The
substitutes from which the choice may
be made are: Cornmeal, corn starch,
corn flour, hominy, corn grits, barlev
Hour, rice, rice flour, oatmeal,
rolled oats, buckwheat flour, potato
flour, sweet potato flour, soya bean
flour and feterita flours and meals.
The purchaser may combine any or
all of these in buying and the total
amount of substitutes must equal the
total amount of wheat flour pur
chased. The housewife may ue
these cereals in the home either
separately, or may mix them. Rye
flour, graham flour and whole wheat
flour are not substitutes. Substitutes
must be sold with graham as well as
with wheat flour.
Retailers When Buying and Selling
Retailers may sell wheat flour onlv
with equal amounts of substitutes
named above. When buying fro
wholesalers or millers, retailers must
buy an equal amount of substitutes,
named abev, with their purchases of
wheat flour.
WholesalersIn selling wheat flour
to customers, wholesalers can sell
only 70 per cent of the amount the
purchaser bought during the corre
sponding period last year. And they
must sell an equal amount of substi
tutes, or satisfy themselves that the
purchaser has bought an equal amount
of substitutes. ! A certified statement
from the purchaser that he has bought
an equal amount will be snfficient for
the wholesaler to make the sale.
Hoarding The buying of any li
censed foodstuff for a period of sup
nlv more than 30 days is hoarding.
The seller is equally liable with the
buyer. In the matter of sugar, the
sales in city and Iowtis are limited to
five nounds. or in lieu tnereot, ?u
cents worth, and in rural communi
ties to 10 nounds, or in lieu thereof.
$1 worth. Flour must be sold in cities
and towns ii. not more than 50-nound
lots and in rural communities m not
more than 100-pound lots.
Bakers and Baking uakers must
immediately use J per cent of other
cereals than wheat in baking bread or
rolls. By FJ ruary 24 they must in-
. J . a.
crease this amount to v per ccgi
This bread will be known as Victory
bread and purchasers are urged to buy
it at all times. ....
Wheatless Days and Meals Mon
days and Wednesdays are wheatless
days. The evening meal, of other
days shall also be wheatless. On these
meals and days no wheat products
should be used. Small amounts of
wheat flour may be used in thickening
soups and giavies or as a binder in
corn bread or other cereal bread.
Public eating places may serve pas
tries and pies, made in proportions of
two-thirds wheat floui and one-third
substitutes, provided they serve it
every day in the week.
Meatless Davi'and Meals Tuesday

day are porkless days. 1 he breaktast
each day is the meatless meal. No
hog, cattle or sheep products shall be
used on meatless days or for meatless
meals. On porkless days no pork or
pork products shall be used. On
porkless Saturday, however, mutton
or lamb may be substituted.

RUSH MORE COAL
TO SAFEGUARD
rin mc ruiutiD
(njr Associated Frees.)
Washington, Feb. 3. Railways to-
nay received instructions trom the
railroad administration to take every
advantage of the usual Sunday indus
trial shutdown and the forced suspen
sion Monday unJer the fuel economy
order to move coal to the big cosuming
centers in order to accumulate small
reserves against possible emergencies.
If the railroad situation then im
proves, the Mondays closing order
probably will be revoked. ,
Little hope was gathered from to
day's weather. In ; northern ' New
York state, it was so cold that engines
stopping to take water froze to the
track's and it took five other locomo
tives to pull them loose. In West
Virginia, the overflowing of sfreams
haniperul the hauling of empty cars
to the mines and the withdrawal of
loads.' ,,.,..
