PROTEST CITY'S YOUTHFUL BOND
MOVE TO REFUSE
PUBLIUMKET
Omaha Retail Grocers as Well
as Householders Protest
Against Decision Made
- by Commissioners.
City commissioners are hearing
many protests to their partial deci
sion to abandon the project to pro
vide a retail market, where house
holders might go to purchase fresh
produce direct from the market gar
deners. v
When it was decided to set aside
su;h a place an estimate as to the
,cest was made and prospects looked
bright. But later it was found that
' the cost would be much more and the
commissioners tried to drop the idea.
Now comes protests not only from
the general public, but also from re
tail grocers, through their secretary,
J. J. Cameron.
This proposed market is across the
Street from the market maintained by
the city, where stalls are sold and
where the gardeners daily bring in
their produce for sale to retailers.
.The general market is so busy it is a
great inconvenience for the general
... public to try to edge in to buy small
quantities and for that reason a spe
cial market is wanted.
Omaha will raise a vast quantity of
green stuff in the war gardens of the
city and these growers want a place
where they can sell direct to the
nro.mmon people." Small growers
- may hot raise enough of any one kind
of produce at one time to attract the
attention of retail grocers, but they
jtyill have smaller quantities which
ithey wish to sell to the ultimate con
sumer, and here will be the place to
- pake the exchange, produce for
wampum.
Give $1,000 Liberty Bond as
- . Stanley Mackay Memorial

church, according to an announcement
made by C. S. Montgomery, senior
warden, at Sunday morning's services.
The interest on the bond will be used

SALESMEN MAKE
SECOND CANVASS
Boy Scouts Cover Territories
After Supper so as to Catch
the "Old Man at
Home.
The house-to-house canvass in the
interest of the sale of third Liberty
loan bonds started Monday afternoon
with a large number of Boy Scouts
participating. Each troop worked in
its home territory, and, failing to
cover the ground in the afternoon,
the boys turned out again after sup
per and covered the same ground as
in the afternoon. ,
Better results were obtained jn the
later canvass, as in the majority of
cases the man of the house was
found at home.
"You gotta get de old man," as
serted one scout vehemently, "De
women folks is all right, but dey aint
got de money like us men folks."
The honor flags were delivered to
all homes where a bond was sold by
the boys or where one was already
owned, and in some cases second
sales were made by the youthful
salesmen. All homes in which there
is not a bond will be listed and the
names turned over to the general
committee for investigation.
After the names are turned in to
the committee calls will be made by
the women's committee, the Boy
Scouts or the salesmen and effort
made to place a bond in every home.
Nebraska leads the states of the
Tenth district in the number of bonds
sold with 175,000 and no let-up will
be made until this is greatly increased.
Boy Scouts are divided into 47
groups, with a scoutmaster in charge
of each group, and the work will be
so divided that there will be no du
plications. Counties "Go Over."
Cass county reports, through H. N.
Dovey, that it is now $20,000 over its
quota of $506,700 and still going.
A. L. Johnson, chairman of Dawes
county, reports that Saturday $170,-
000 worth of bonds had been sold and
that there was every indication that
its quota of $245,000 would be
reached.
