ITIZENS' UNION
MAY BE REVIVED
FOR PRIMARIES
ious Cndidatet Buzz
Ground the City Hall to See
Whether They Would Like
to Locate There.
i. revival of the Citizens' union is
latest bit of information which
I been smuggled across the twilight
ie of politics by Joe Morrow, who
ited the city hall Tuesday morning,
tlorrow said the information came
m reliable sources, but whether the
ion will actually be resuscitated is
hiestion he could not answer. He
lained that "certain parties" have
(n luzzing around among the for
r lieutenants of the union. Morrow
nits that in days gone by he was
ntified with those who were "out
e looking in," but he confesses to
present state of mind which does
t lend aid or comfort to his former
lferees. Morrow told a group in
i city hall that he had experienced
;hange of heart over the desirability
prohibition.
Launch a Ticket.
The Citizens' union was launched
: years ago with considerable eclat,
ter the city primary the union pre
Jted a ticket whose personnel was:
hn A. Swanson, F. A. Furay, W.
Redick, A. C. Kennedy, M. F.
nkhouser, G. H. Thummel and John
sble. None of the ticket was elected,
iree have died.
n that campaign the city hall
sup, headed by the mayor, made
race on a ticket which' was
own as "The Square Seven."
iorge Yager was given credit for
iring suggested the device of a car
liter's square as the campaign slo
ti. Mayor Dahlman recalls that he
ide bitter attacks on the Citizens'
ion slate.
"The uncertainties of politics are
iny, but I don't believe there are
ten men who can beat me in the
ming race," remarked the mayor.
City Commissioner Jardine is not
idy to commit himself as to his
ndidacy for re-election. He ex
lined that he had a business prop
ition in view and added that he
i not care to allow politics to in
refere with a good business pros
ct. He may make the race.
"What about John Paul Breen?" is
query heard now and then, here and
ere.
Mr. Breen assumes a nonchalent
r and turns his face toward the
lltops when asked whether he will
i an entrant for the nominations,
he best he will say is that he has
e matter "under prayerful consider
ion. Up to the minute nobody seems to
low whether E. P. Smith will make
e race.
chool Children Forego
Valentines to Help Country
,More than 600 children at Park
:hool have pledged themselves not
send or receive valentines this
ear. The children are making this
g sacrifice gladly to help Uncle Sam
in the war.
.This year there will be no valen
nes, for Uncle Sam needs money,
nstead in all the rooms, a bank
lands in plain view of each child,
hey voted unanimously to put their
ennies in Uncle Sam's keeping. They
ill neither receive nor send valen
nes. In one room the bank is an ele
hant. One boy tried to slip in a
ollar. "It almost choked him," he
Icclaimed, gleefully, "but he swal
wed it.' Later another child re
orted to the principal: "Our teacher
lid to tell you we've filled the ele
hant and have started on the dog."
The principal of Park school paid
ie children and their parents a high
ibute.
"We are proud of the children,"
he said, "and grateful for the co
peration received from their nar.

RED CROSS DRIVE
FOR JUNIORS IS
WELL UNDER WAY
Whether it was "Red Cross day"
or Lincoln's birthday being cele
brated in Omaha schools, it would be
hard to judge, so evenly were the pa
triotic programs divided. Tuesday
marked the opening of the Junior
Red Cross campaign to enroll all
school children of the country for war
service.
Several of the schools reported 100
per cent memberships, though the
campaign had not yet begun.
Saunders school children gave an
entertainment at St. Barnabas church
Monday right which netted the
school auxiliary $12. Bennie Cotton,
Henry Lehrman and Bobbie Hall
were the promoters.
Gould Dietz, chapter chairman, an
nounces that such entertainments will
be permitted to use the Red Cross
name, lifting the rule which prohibits
such general use.
Archbishop J. J. Harty issued a let
ter heartily endorsing the campaign,
to be read in all Catholic schools.
Negro on Trial in District
Court L. Murder of Barber
George, alias "Babe" Fuller, negro,
is on trial in district court for the
murder of John Brown, a colored
barber, because he resented Brown's
attempt to collect interest on a quar
ter which Fuller borrowed to finance
a pool game, according to Public De
fender Horton.
Witnesses for the state testified
that Brown was stabbed when he
"rushed" Fuller during an argument
over a ring and a quarter last Oc
tober. Fuller borrowed the quarter
of Brown and left a ring as security.
The pool game was called off and he
returned with the quarter to redeem
the ring. Brown wanted interest.
Fuller wanted his ring and an argu
ment ensued. They clinched and
Brown stepped back saying he had
been stabbed. He died two days later
at the hospital.
Thrift Card Would Make
Good Valentine, Says Palmer
Thrift cards make excellent valen
tines. At least that is what Harry
O. Palmer thinks. He is so set in
his conviction that he has bought a
thrift card and mailed it to his best
girl as a valentine.
"I just happened to think that
Thursday of this week is Valentine's
day," said Palmer, "and as I am in
terested in the thrift stamp campaign,
I could think of no valentine except
one that would in some way involve
an advertisement for this campaign."
Palmer is executive secretary to
Ward Burgess, state director of the
thrift stamp campaign, and he be
lieves in advertising.
