GERMANY PEEVED
AT FRANCIS' NOTE
TO RUSS PEOPLE
Moscow, Thursday, March 28.
Germany has protested again to the
bolshevik government against the
declaration last week of David R.
Francis, the American ambassador,
that Russia will' become a German
province if it submits to the peace
terms of the central powers.
According to the German conten
tion, this was a violation of the peace
treaty. The government replied that
the ambassador's statement was
merely a reproduction of the telegram
which he addressed to the All-Russian
congress at Moscow, which rat
ified the peace treaty. The govern
.nent declares-it maintains toward the
ambassador' declaration the same
attitude that was..adb'pted in respect
of the telegram sent to Moscow.

"Tom" Hoctor, former mayor of
South Omaha, "dropped into" Benson
Thursday night. He stated his opin
ion that the present city commission
ers would all be nominated and that
the labor ticket will receive support
in the packing house district.
Dan Butler is passing out coin
shaped aluminum campaign souvenirs
which remind the recipients that he is
a candidate for city commissioner.
He resented the intimation, though,
that the lightness of these bogus
"coins" measures his vote-getting
abilities.
"He is on the level!" is an inter
esting line which appears on Tom P.
Reynolds' cards.
Some of the merry villagers out
Benson-way have been inquiring of
each other as to the identity of "Mr.
Ed P. Smith," who was advertised to
speak in their fair village. They had
heard of several Ed Smiths during
the primary campaign. Some be
lieve the situation suggests the old
line about "were either dear charmer
away, etc.
Up to noon 70 candidates had filed
for city commissionerships, with in
dications that the number will be in
creased before closing time tonight.
Election Commissioner Moorhead
noted that if 77 should file, each can
didate would have his name twice at
the top of the ballots and twice at
the bottom, under the rotated ballot
system. There are 154 voting pre
cincts in Great Omaha under the new
districting.
The following have so far filed for
the city charter commission: H. A.

RAILROADS MAKE
PLANS FOR LIGHT
SAVING RULING
'
Expect No Confusion in Opera
tion of Trains; Old Time
Cards and Schedules Are
Retained.
Qrders have been issued by operat
ing departments of the railroads en
tering Omaha and everything is in
readiness for daylight saving, which
begins at 2 o'clock Sunday morning
and remains in effect until the last
Sunday in October. x
The new law, the application of
which will add an hour ot daylight, is
not expected to cause any confusion
in the operation of trains. The old
time cards and running schedules will
be used and the entire proposition
will be worked out by simply push'
mg the clocks up an hour.
The railroad order that is general,
provides that at 2 o'clock Sunday
morning the clocks in all railroad of
fices shall be pushed ahead one hour.
At the same time railroad men in
every department of the service are
instructed . to turn their watches
ahead an hour. That having been
done, an extra hour will have been
added to the morning end of the day
and automatically an hour will have
been cut oft at the night end.
Start On Old Time.
General instructions to air operate
ing men are that where trains are to
they are to start .on the old time ana
run through to destination, not at?
tempting to make up the extra hour
enroute. The same order is to be ap
plied to trains that are enroute at 2
o clock. On their return trips, these
trains will take the new starting time
and run according to the card.
Trains starting before 2 o'clock, or
those enroute at this hour, will run
on orders and an hour late to destitv
ation.
On all roads trains that are sched.
uled to leave starting points after 2
o'clock Sunday morning will run in
conformity to the new time, ror in
stance, a train that is now Scheduled
to leave Omaha at 2:15 o'clock Sun
day morning, will leave at 2:15 on the
new time, but if your clock at home
has not been pushed along an hour
and you expect to catch this train, you
will be an hour late if you go by the
time shown by that home clock, li
you have pushed your clock tip an
hour, you will make the train, provid
ed you start from home at the right
time.
Railroads operating men are iiv
clined to the opinion that Sunday
morning there whll be a few people
who will miss their trains by reason
of forgetting about the time change,
but after that they do not expect that
the traveling public will notice the
difference.

The Slow But Sure Home
A few years ago two Omaha workmen were rent
ing houses at $25 per month. One decided to
"Own a Home." He therefore made arrange
ments to purchase a $2,500 home and pay
for it at $25 a month. The other decided that
this method was too slow He would wait till
he could buy a home outright. Today the one
man "owns his home", free of incumbranpp
and the other has a drawer with 120 $25 rent
receipts in it.
But the party of the first part also has 120 $25
receipts just as negotiable as the rent receipts
and worth just as much per pound for paper
rags. He also has another document and it
has a notary seal and two witnesses' handsi
on it and some style around the edges. It is
1 call a warranty deed and is negotiable for
$2,500.
Do you own your home? Get the habit of watching the Real Estate
offerings in the Want-ad colums of The Bee. These offerings
are changed daily and one of them is the door to your opportun
ity. Your careful reading and watching is the key that will fit.
When you find it act without delay. "Own Your Home" and
