THE BEE: OMAHA. FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 4, VJ2U Penitentiary Is Facing Two Big Problems Unemployment During Wint er Moothi sod Action on Smoking Putzlei for Official!. Lincoln, No. 3. (Special.) Ne braska (aci two icrioua penitentiary problema. They are: Unemployment facing from 300 to 400 convicti during the winter and lack of fufficifnt guards to give thrie men the exercise and recreation nec iikrv ia Affiet the unemolovment. Lilting the ban on cigaret smok ing ana giving tne convicts stipu lated number of cigarets each week. Factory Shut Down, Tightened economic conditions which have made the sale of hand made furniture practically nil has been the means of shutting down work in the furniture factory to al most nothing. ' Furniture making and road mak ing are the only two industries which the state has been able to enter into because ' of the protests of capital and labor against state competition in industries. The men employed on the road during the summer muit soon be returned to the peniten tiary because of approaching cold weather. - For the present Warden Fenton is putting the men in the prison yard at certain periods and outdoor games are giving them exercise of mind -and bodv needed so badly by men who naturally, through their enforced confinement, are morbidly. inclined. Eiercise Impossible. As winter draws on, weather con ditions will make outdoor exercise impossible and unless some work is found for the men to do, there is nothing left but long, morbid hours in their cells and a possible break down in morale and discipline which .such conditions have caused in the past. Hawthorne, the new reformatory, was looked upon as a source of re lief until recently. Gus Miller, su perintendent, has refused to accept any more men at that institution un til more adequate guard facilities are afforded' and the fence to surround it is put up. Completion of the re formatory is not expected until next lummv. , - Cigarets Arc Urged. Ordinarily a ban on cigaret smok ing would be looked upon as an aid in the fight against the dread prison disease, tuberculosis. However, members of the board of control have been informed that this is er roneous. Information has reached the board that white a prisoner caught smok ing cigarets is punished, cigaret smoking ia general at the peniten tiary. Instead of using real cigareti, or cigaret papers to "roll their own," the prisoners are obliged to use such paper as they can find and utilize it to roll cigarets. This paper smoke inhaled, according to medical author ities here, does more to aid and abet the tuberculosis germ than real cigarets. Issue Tobacco Rations. The board now issues tobacco ra tions and cob pipes. However, it is declared that cob pipes are seldom used. Facing the board on one hand is the charge that the winter, which the men must spend in their cells smok ing "prison made" cigarets, will aid in spreading tuberculosis, and on the other side is the reform clement which would howl its heads -off if they heard "the boys" were smoking bonahde cigarets openly. Then, there is anoi.wr alternative with another sharp1 edge attached to it. This is to abolish the distribu tion of tobacco altogether. Y. M.

To beheld on the Eighth Flocir of The Brandeis Store under the auspices of the Omaha Manufacturers Association. Every Day From Monday, Nov. 7 to Saturday, Nov. 12 Open From 11 a. m. to 9 p. m. Admission Free , A Wonderful Show produced by the "Wonder City of the West" Y 0U KNOW, THAT in recent years Omaha has made such strides that in the commercial world it is naked "The . Wonder City of the West." "Hogs and Hominy, " in the ; language of one Omaha business man, is'Jargely responsible, for r that has made this city the center of & great community of agri cultural producers and consumers. But manufacture has -played its part. Indeed, it has contributed to this marvelous growth so , rapidly and consistently that even the people of Omaha, imme- diate beneficiaries, are, on the whole, poorly informed as to the growth and development of these home industries, v You have some general ideas along these lines, but you do not know the wide and complete range which Omaha industry has been taking nor the fact that what you may now learn is only a hint of what the future holds for this line of endeavor. It 7 is to tell you something of all this wonderful work that the "Made-in-Omaha" Show is to be given on the 8th Floor of The Brandeis Store, beginning Monday, November 7th, and continuing until Saturday, November 12th. You Will be delighted with the attractive display, and the beautiful arrangements on this occasion. It should be the duty, as well as the privilege, of every man, woman and child to visit this show. Today, Omaha sells the products of about four hundred manufacturing establish ments. These establishments represent an investment of almost a quarter of a bil lion dollars. Their annual output is probably half a billion. They give employment to 28,000 persons thus justifying the statement made by one Omaha booster: "About half the people of Omaha are directly dependent for their earnings upon : Omaha's factories." These employes draw salaries and wages amounting to thirty seven million dollars per year. ; With all this remarkable showing, what is the trouble? The people of other cities 1 are awake to a fact of which many Omahans are ignorant the fact that Omaha is rapidly taking its place as a manufacturing town. '.:' What is the remedy? First, education through such articles as these and through the "Made-in-Omaha" Show. Second, Buy Omaha-Made Goods! Buy Omaha-Made Goods consistently and persistently. This is not charity, for Omaha can compete with the world in quality and in price. When you buy it in Omaha you increase the . Omaha output and hence you increase the Omaha payroll. If you are in business you thus make more customers for yourself. If you are a homemaker you provide more and better opportunities for your boy and the boys of other homes. MADE IN OMAHA U. S. A. OMAHA-MADE GOODS When you buy it in Omaha you create a never-ending circle of good for yourself and for your neighbors.
