I . State "Tank" at $22,000,000
Mark.
"Omaha officially went "over the top" Thursday afternoon
frith more than $3,000,000 subscribed above its quota, the
f tand total for the Gate City now standing at more than $8,
500,000. The state "tank" now stands at the $22,000,000 mark.
Thb campaign will not be halted, but a great effort will now be
centered upon the idea of placing a "bond in every home."
MILLION FROM W. O. W. O
' Sovereign Commander W. A. Fraser
of the Woodmen of the World, speak
ing atop the city "tank," announced
that his organization had taken Si,
040,000 of bonds, which boosted the
standing to (6,540,000. . Banks of
Omaha came in for $2,000,000, Union
Pacific employes raised $118,400, and
the Burlington railroad subscribed
$65,000. These were the principal
'sums announced Thursday.
- Twenty-five" counties in Nebraska
have over-subscribed their ouotas, in
cluding 12 counties which during the
second drive failed to gain the 100
per cent class.
'. MOST SUCCESSFUL "DRiyE
' Speaking at, the Chamber of Com
merce loan celebration Thursday
noon, T C, Byrne, state chairman, de
clared the drive has been the most
successful in Nebraska's history. One
Nebraska courtty which made a show
ing of paly 27 per cent during the sec
ond drive, was among the first .to get
us quota.
Judge W. D. McIIugh urged the
bond workers to keep up the good
record by endeavoring to place a bond
in every home in Omaha. Every farm
in the etatc would have one, he de
clared.. The subscription of the Woodmen
is one of the largest sums ever taken
by a single company. The occasion
was celebrated in a fitting ' manner,
the 41st regiment band of Fort Crook
leading the 500 marchers up Farnahi
street from the Woodmen of the
WorliJ building to the tank in front
Of the1 Liberty bank. s
t Today, and Saturday will also be
gala days, the famous band from the
Great Lakes Naval training camp,
coached b Lieutenant ' John Philip
Sousa; arriving this afternoon, while
Marie Dressier, famous comedienne,
will address the Chamber of Com
merce Saturday noon and make talks
at several theaters during the after
noon and night.
Largest Subscription.
The city "tank" wail formally pulled
"over the top" by tl Woodmen of
the World, at noon. The total result
of the Woodmen campaign was kept
a closely guarded secret until noon.
It was the result of several days of
intense campaigning among members.
Atop the city "tank" Mr. Fraser
presented "Miss Columbia," repre
sented by Miss Mabel E. Fulton, 281)4
Rugglcs street, with a csrtificate for
the entire sum. "Miss Cplunibia,' in
turn, handed it to "Uncle Sam," rep
resented by Clair Hanrahan, 2552 Fort
street.
The "tank" was pulled quite a dis
tance beyond the Liberty bank op
posite the Bee building, and will in
all probability keep on travelinR in
a westerly direction, in accordance
with the announced intention of Lib
erty loan workers to keep up the
work of obtaining money for the
government. It will be moved by
employes of the Burlington railroad
Friday.

HERE ARE RULES FOR THE BEE'S
WOMAN'S FLAG SALUTE CONTEST
"Raise the. right hand and touch the breast over the heart," would be a
fitting way to salute Old Glory, suggests Z. M. De Lano, 4224 North Twenty-fourth
street, one of the hundreds of contributors to The Bees
"woman's salute contest," for the winners of which Dr. E. C. Henry and
The Bee have offered four prijes aggregating $50. Continuing, Mr De
Lano says: "Let the hand drop slowly back to the side with an outward
movement."
The suggestion of Mr. De Lano borders somewhat on the salute of
Uncle Sam's soldiers, differing in the respect that the Sammies make it
"snappy," when they pull their hand down from a salute
The contest has met with so much favor that The Bee has added a
fourth prize to Dr. Henry's original idea, has posted $5 for the winner of
fourth place. Come on you Americans, it's fun, even if you don't win.
Here are the rules you all have been waiting to see. Clip them out
and keep them for reference. Send in your suggestion now, for the judges
have given up hope of making the decisions over night and expect to take
a vacation to carry on their deliberations.
Rule 1 The salute contest closes one week from yesterday, Thursday,
April 25. Letters postmarked up to 6 p. m., will be accepted, and a spe
cial effort made to get all that are in the postoffice.
Rule 2 Write your suggestion plainly on one side of the paper, and
sign your name in full, and give complete address.
Rule 3 Confine your suggestion to 75 words, making it "snappy."
Rule 4 No employes of The Bee will be permitted to participate in
the contest ;
Rule 5. Address your suggestion to "Contest Editor," Omaha Bee,
Omaha, Neb. .
The Bee will appoint two judges, who will assist Dr. Henry in de
ciding the winners. First prize will be $20; second prize, $15; third prize,
$10, and fourth prize, $5.
NEVILLE AND
M0REHEAD A T
DEMING CAMP
Camp Cody, N. M., April 18.
(Special Telegram.) Not only is the
governor of Nebraska, Keith Neville,
here to call on Nebraskans in the
home regiments, but former Governor
Morehead is also a visitor.
Captain Philo Buck of Omaha, at
tached to the division staff, took the
two executives out to the artillery
range today, where the old Fourth
Nebraska boys, Colonel Phil Hall of
Lincoln, commanding, were at target
practice. The 134th infantry (Fifth
Nebraska), Colonel H. J. Paul, is off
to the north on a four days' "hike."
Governor Neville got the experience
the soldiers from the home state have
had since last fall when a hard wind
blew sand in his face all day. He
brought along instructions to the Ne
braskans regarding voting in the com
ing elections, commencing with the
Omaha municipal election.
It is said here that Governor Ne
ville is a possible candidate for the
United States senate. Ex-Governor
Morehead has already announced for
that race.
Governor Neville is familiar, with
this section, having lived in Tucson,
Ariz., where his father practiced law.
Boys Duck Pastor and
Elder 8 Who Refused to
Sing National Anthem
Berkeley, Cal., April 18. Ap
proximately 300 boys, ranging in
age from 10 to 20 years, ducked
Pastor Josiah Sykes and two of his
elders in a baptismal tank, chased
several other elders through the
. residence district" and wrecked the
: canvas tabernacle of the Church of
the Living God, religious denom-
nation, here tonight, when the pas
tor and his assistants refused to sing
the national anthem.
Two policemen who endeavored
,to interfere were smothered under
an avalanche of squirming boys.
Vertigo, or Dizziness,
Is Often Spinal Disorder
When the joints of the
spine at the base of the brain
are out of alignment causing
pressure on the spinal
nerves, there is often a con
dition that causes dizziness
or vertigo. Often the trouble
is accompanied by headache.
Adjustment by a skilled
chiropractor, removing this
pressure, restores that clear
headed condition which is
normal and healthful. Dizzi
ness goes as a matter of
course.
Spinal nerve pressure may
exist at any point of the
backbone. . Spinal nerve
pressure is the cause of 90
per cent o all disease.
FREE
If you are ailing , call for a
free spinal analysis. It will
placa you under no obliga-
tion whatever.

Two Omaha Boys in German
Offensive; One Disappears
Walter Brooks, former Omaha boy,
has written friends here that he was
wounded in a recent German offensive
on the French front and that Merle
Cottrell, formerly a chauffeur in this
city and now a member of the Royal
Canadian Flying corps, was brought
down with his plane during the same
engagement. It is not known, ac
cording to Brooks, whether Cottrell
survived the fall or was taken pris
oner. Brooks is not severely wound
ed, he writes. , '
.Garden Plants are Grabbed
Up by Eager Purchasers
Garden plants were put on the mar
ket Thursday and most of them were
taken by eager purchasers, despite the
chance they are taking with the frost
on tomato plants. Gardeners figure
they would sooner make a try at hav
ing early vegetables, even if there
is a chance of Jack Frost paying a
visit. They say they can cover up
their plants at night. Cabbage, celery
and tomato plants were selling at
10 cents a dozen and chives .at 10
cents a bunch.
Seed potatoes, Early Ohio and Red
River are selling at $1.25 a bushel,
and onion sets are still 10 cents a
pound.
