Just a line to say hello. This coun try has many interesting things in it, which you would like to see. Som< day I hope you may see them. The French people are very nice as I knew they would be. They came out of the French revolution purged and glorified. Prior to that time France was the citadel of iniquity. V ou know quite as much about thi war as we do over here. Latei on we may kn >w more or less about it We all hope, as you do that the wai will soon end. When you get th< time T would like to hear from you. The country here is very like oui own. The crops are the same us ours, such as wheat, rye, oats, potatoes ar.d the fruits like ours. This relates to the country. The cities are about a.-, yce would expect to find them at such a time as this, very like our cities there will be if the war should last another year. I write to Mrs. Pinkett very often and say lots of nice things to her. Ask her when you see her. I send her something she likes very well. Tel! her hello for me. I certainly would like to run over home for a while. How is your mother? Tell her hello for me. I am enclosing a French coin as a souvenir. Good luck to you and God bless you. H. J.

I | - DEDICATION OF FREE STONE PRIMITIVE BAPTIST CHURCH The Free Stone Primitive Baptist church is the name of a new reli gious organization which is holding services at Twenty-sixth and Grant streets. The Rev. S. M. Shelton of Pensacola, Fla., has been conducting a series of revival services for the past two weeks. Tomorrow morning at 11 o’clock the church will be dedi 1 cated. CARNIVAL GRAND SCCCKSS The most brilliant affair ever wit nessed in Omaha was the carnival given under the auspices Of St. John’s A. M. E. church and Zion Baptist church. A gathering togethei t at has spelled the word excellency in every respect. One of the features of the carnival was the parade ol all nations, which was viewed by thou sands as it marched through the grounds, leaving the people spr i bound and unwearied. The greatest feature of the carnival was t o coi onation of the oueen on Monday eve ning. MifS Ailene Bentley, one of Zion’s most popular young ladies, was chosen as Zion’s queen, and Miss Corrine Thomas, who with her sweet, modest and unselfish way has won her way into the hearts of all who know her, was St. John’s queen. Both performed their duty with dignity, and grace ami both deserve muc credit. Miss Bentley was awarded the crown and Miss Thomas the gold medal, due to an error in counting the money. The committee which had the affair under control deserve the utmost praise. The Rev. W. L. Wil liams, promoter, and the Rev. W. F. Botts labored unceasingly to makr this affair worth while and it un doubtedly surpassed the expectations of these gentlemen as it certainly surpassed the expectatinps of t r crowd, which thronged the ground, each night. The cause was a worthy one and worthily supported by Oma. hans. It is to be hoped those who trod the beautiful grounds amid the strains of sweet music and wandered through the spacious rooms felt fully repaid. The members and friends of Zion and St. John’s wish to thank all who assisted in making this affair a grand success. T^e amounts realized from votes for queen were Zion. $747.58; St. John’s, $762.4!>. Amount cleared, $2,000. ORDER PROHIBITING Bl RNS FROM BAKING PIES RAISKI The order prohibiting the Jay Burn Baking company- of Omaha from bak ing anything except bread and roll has been raised by Washington, upm. . recommendation of the food admini - ! tration for Nebraska. The Burns company used an ey j I cessive amount of flour in their cak' . and pie department for which the : were closed for eleven days. The j order raising the ban was made b< cause it was felt the company had been sufficiently penalized; that their | offense was not intentional; and tha* their saving in the bread department warranted leniency. The company j however, must use 13 barrels less in | August to make good their excess. PROFITEERING ICE PEDDLERS NIPPED BY FOOD OFFICIALS Efforts of ice peddlers of Oinahe 1 to raise the price to consurneis from 50 to 60 cents per hundred were | checked by the food administration for Nebraska. Manufacturers sup- i plying these peddlers on request of j ! the food administration, informed : | them that if they did not return to j the a reed price of 50 cents per hun- | id red their supplies would be cut off ] APPOINTED ON POLICE FORCE Charles Dudley and D. Wright have | been appointed on the police force j and assigned to duty. . - — • -.: .-.T=r I South Side Notes The fourth quarterly meeting foi Allen Chapel A. M.
