NEBRASKA AND IOWA ARE MICH IN NATION’S EYE Just now Nebraska. Iowa and Oma ha are occupying more than ordinary interest in the public eye nationally. Two main reasons prompt this favor able attention—the response of this section to all national appeals, notably the Red Cross. Liberty Bonds, enlist ments, etc., and then the condition of crops in this great agricultural sec tion. Without exception this section has more than responded to its apportion ments in all requests. Patriotism is at a high ebb and it is patriotism based on fundamental love of country and unselfish devotion to its require ments. And, above all, the responses liave been unostentatious,—they have been just the sort of responses that would be expected from a liberty ap preciating and loving people Its response to food production has been in keeping with all other re quests. Most conservative estimates place the corn acreage in Nebraska this year at over nine million acres, practically a one-third increase, which should mean a production of more than 200,000.000 bushels of the neces sary food.

Wilson came here to take her sick brother home, but his illness would not permit her to do so. Mr. A. F. Wilson, her husband, will be in Omaha July 10 at the Knights of Tabor grand session. She hopes her brother’s health will be sufficiently improved so he may take him home. Mrs. Annie Roderick of 2514 J ■ street, who has been seriously ill for ; two weeks, is much better, but still unable to be out. The Mission Circle of Bethel Bap tist church met at the home of Mr*. I-.attie Orvin, Twenty-eighth and U streets. Miss Coreasia Broomfield, the Allen chapel delegate to the Sunday School convention, returned last week. Miss Broomfield brought back a beau tiful report from the convention. Rev. T. A. Taggart left Thursday, July 5, for Chicago, where he goes to spend his two weeks’ vacation. We i v. ish for him a pleasant and restful trip. Little Amy Fisher of 5907 South Fifteenth street is a little better after being seriously ill for about three months. The Fred Douglass Literary club met Friday night at Bethel Baptist church. The subject for discussion, “Which exerts the greater influence over man, love or fear?” was ably discussed by Mrs. Estella Andrews and Mrs. Thomas for the affirmative and Mr. W. E. McGee and Miss Bea trice Stewart for the negative. The literary was well attended. A few minutes was given for open discus sion while the judges were out, and every one was anxious to speak. The.picnic given by Bethel Baptist church Mission Circle at Riverview park was a decided success It was very largely attended. Everybody enjoyed themselves just beautifully. After dinner was served games of basket ball and croquet were played, which even the older people seemed to enjoy as well as the young. We thank our many friends from Omaha who were over with us. ADAMS’ ORCHESTRA GETS GOOD CONTRACT Adams' Saxaphone Orchestra opened the Empress Garden, the largest and among the finest of America's gar d< ns, on the 1st of May, being con tracted for that month oniy. How ever, after two weeks of playing the manager, realizing that ne had the right orchestra in the right place, and submitting to the will of his patrons, had another contract drawn up which ran for the entire season. Mr. Adams formerly of Memphis, Tenn., and one of Mr. Handy’s standbys, has sur rounded himself with a bunch of real musicians playing such numbers as Chicken Walk, Swaunee Ripples, Boosters Hag, Pussy-Foot and other big rags of the day, besides the re quests for the popular airs. Their “pep” never fails to hold the large throng of dancers up until the Star Spangled Banner announces closing time. Roster of Orchestra. Theodore Adams, Saxaphonixt and Director. L. L. Gaines, Saxaphone and Ban jcrine. Laurence A. Parker, Piano, Secre tary and Treasurer. Holland Harrold, Drums and Manager. All send regards to friends in and out of the profession. 1- A.
