Among1 the colonels on the gover
; nor's staff who arrived in Omaha was
. Munt von Kohden," priprietor of the
i leading hotel of Creighton, Neb. The
count did not know that everybody
had to walk in the parade and as he
has had considerable xperience with
t city saddles he brought along his own
favorite saddle with which he rode
the plains in the pioneer days of the
K state. The count is a great friend, of
Herman Peters, with wnom he was as
sociated many years ago at Grand
Island, and he always stops at the
. Merchants when he comes to Omaha.
, '"People no longer are looking for
the original garden of Eden, for they
have located it," said the count, "They
now know for a. certainty that it was
iocaa in Knox county, Nebraska', not
far from Creighton." t - ,
Emblems of patriotism and loyalty
to the '.flag were conspicuously dis-
played not only in streets and from
buildings, but they were. also, waving
2.U00 feet above the army of paraders

' : From 1 :30 until 4:30 Saturday after
noon, huge American flag kept its

of the mass.es.
From the top of the Sanford hotel
W.-M. King of Streeter, 111., profes
sional balloonist, handled the helm of
.3,000 feet of heavy cord attached to a
box kite and flying the American flag.
The flag waved in bright glory, 2,000
feet above the paraders. t
Thousands . kept their eyes fixed
upon the tjmblem,' unfurled and pic
torially outlined against the blue
heavens,
For an hour . before the parade
squads, of police were busy clearing
t the streets -of all autos. Some they
did not know how to work and some
-were locked, so the crowds had some
run watching them at work.
. The Nebraska Telephone company
' tut out a large gang of linemen' and
soon had Farnam street wired off so
that the crowds on the sidewalks
could not interfere with the" march
ers. It was a reminder of the Ak-
bar-Ben parades, when the streets are
all wired off to help the police keep
oacK tne crowds.
employes oi me court house were
there 300 strong. Of this number
more than 50 were girls. The contin.

chairman of ,he Board of County Com
missioners. The first accident of the afternoon
happened when a small boy got his
foot in the way of a big auto ' truck
at Eighteenth and Farnam streets.
The lad was slightly injured.
The Burlington service flag, on
which there were 95 stars', each for
some young man who has gone from
the Omaha division,. was carried by
Axel Sund, a company employe; who
followed the Stars and .Stripes in' the
war with Spain. Sund saw actual
service iii both Cuba and the Philip
pines. Supcniitendcnt Allen of ihe Bur.
lington was one of the numerous
men in the parade who carried a serv
ice flag. This flag he carried for his
son, Sergeant Norman Allen, who. is
in the trenches in France. Though
but 19 years old, Sergeant Allen is a
seasoned veteran.' When he was 17
years old, with the consent , of his
father, he enlisted in the Third Iowa
infantry, and for a year was with his
command on the Mexican hordpr
Then he came home and finished his
high school course' in the public
schools of Creston, la. Last No

service flag on which there are 1.774
blue stars on the field of white. This
is for the young men who have gone

Besides the big flag, the Union Pa

walk hand in hand withdulled, soiled
unpressed and unsightly clothes. At

Dresher Brothers Dry Cleaning and

Better take the hint. Present a

Have Dreshers clean vour Snit. von

feel cheery, agreeable and better dis

Just walk to the first phone you

men having gone' from the Omaha
offices. ' In the section there was an
other flag, one carried by Superin
tendent Van Rensellar. On it were
two stars, one for each of his two
sons who are in the service.
In the number of stars that it car
ried, the Union Pacific service flag
outclassed all others in the. parade.
On it there were 1,730 stars, one for
each young man who has gone. to war
from points along, the main line and
the Nebraska branches. This flag,
20x40, feet, was carried by 24 young
women from the headquarters build
ing. They were all dressed in white,
with red, white and blue sashes. They
were captained by Miss Katherine
Connell. '
The Union Pacific representation
was the largest of any one company
or firm. In the line there were 3,500
men and women. Every department

around RouvreH southward of Hailles.
Two villages fell into the hands of the
Germans, but they were not permitted
to hold them in peace, for the French
came back in a vigorous counter
attack, which made the positions of
the enemy critical.
. On both ends of the line, at Then-
nes and Grivesnes, there were very
severe encounters, n which the
French obstinately kept the barrier
intact against furious assaults. A
division of the German guard suf
fered especially heavy losses.
Among the attacking troops were
seven entirely fresb divisions.
French artillery, mostly field guns,
was brought hurriedly to the scene
and battered the Germans unmerci
fully. Both artillerymen and in
fantry men declared that never had

at them until their supplies of am

I make reference to the
"propaganda" under way in
ject of creating doubt and suspicion in! the minds of the
public as to the sincerity of
. crediting me with the people.
My coming here was resented by some people, first
mildly, then vigorously, because of my "radical ideas
about giving the public BETTER DENTISTRY FOR
LESS MONEY. 1
Despite all opposition,
grov-n, because I did exactly
do, andThe public stood squarely back of me.
Defeated at every "front,"
who resented my intrusion from the first, are now trying

not accompnsn otherwise.

CHARGE THAT MY SKILL AS A DENTIST
IS IN ANY WAY INFERIOR.
THEY DARE NOT SAY THAT I USE
OTHER THAN THE BEST MATERIALS IN

THEY DARE NOT QUESTION MY
HONOR OR HONESTY.
' But BY INSINUATION, the public is led to believe
that there is danger of being deceived or defrauded here,
because I CHARGE LESS than other dentists for similar
work. . .
I have not the time nor

it necessary to point out their motives in trying to dis
