PROCLAMATION
Office of the Mayor, City of Omaha,
State of Nebraska.
To the People of Omaha:
It has been brought to my atten
tion that the week beginning Septem
ber 2nd, 1923, known nationally as
Paramount Week opens the greatest
Movie Season in Nebraska.
Inasmuch as the motion picture has
come to be known as the great Amer- !
ican entertainment and has developed
into a national institution, it being
the center of civic enlivenment and
pillar of community progress, I here
by urge that you lend your support to
the observance of Paramount Week
and the Greater Movie Season.
In my judgment, it is the duty of
our people to support and encourage
theatrical industries and the pleasure
derived from their wholesome enter
tainment will amply repay those who
give that support and encouragement.
With the current announcement of
bigger and better pictures during the
Paramount Week and the Greater
Movie season, I urge your support of
the celebration.
(Signed) JAS. C. DAHLMAN,
Mayor City of Omaha.
The Motion Picture has become a
fixed institution both for entertain
ment and instruction. Millions of men,
women and children witness these
productions nightly. Any movement
that tends to better, artistically and
to raise morally, the tone of the
movies, should receive hearty encour
agement and endorsement. It is,
therefore, with pleasure that the
Monitor lends its whole-hearted sup
port to the observance of Paramount
Week and the Greater Movie Season.
Our local theatres are presenting pro
grams which should gain generous
patronage and win the approval of all
patrons. Both as an editor and a
clergyman, I heartily endorse this;
movement.

PILGRIM BAPTIST CHURCH
At the morning service the pastor
preached to a large congregation on
“The Crucial Test” from the event in
Abraham’s life in which he was
railed upon to sacrifice his son
Isaac. At 8 o’clock the Rev. Samuel
Barrett, of Des Moines, formerly of
Omaha and enroute to Los Angeles,!
Cal., was a welcome visitor and j
preached an instructive sermon on
“Christian Sacrifice.” There was a
good attendance, many out of town
visitors being present. Mrs. Wynn
was awarded a $10 purse as winner
of the popularity contest, as she re
ported $49 for votes. The pastor
leaves the last of this week for the
National Baptist convention at Los
Angels, Cal.—B. S. Sutton, Reporter.
Henry W. Black, president of the
Omaha branch N. A. A. C. P., left
Wednesday night to attend the Na
tional Conference of the N. A. A. C. P.
which meets in Kansas City, Kans.,
August 29 to September 5.
GIRL USES HER HAT AS BANK
Can Draw Against Depository on the
Top of Her Head Any Old
Time She Likes.
It was already time to start for the
theater. But Kathleen took her best
hat down from the crowded closei
shelf and frantically began to rip at
the lining.
“But, my deur,” her friend remind
ed, "there isn't time to make over
your hat tonight. What are you
doing?”
By this time Kathleen had got nei
hand In under the lining and had ex
traded—a $5 bill, relates the New
York Sun and Globe.
“What an amazing hat,” remarked
her friend. "It seems to be like the
miraculous pitcher In which there was
always sustenance."
But the girl who has lived two years
In a New York apartment and whose
salary is given her In a little seuled
envelope on the 1st and 15th of
each month, explained: “You see. 1
can't possibly afford a bank account.
There Isn’t any burglar-proof place
In this apartment. 1 always lose my
pocketbook. And I'm always running
out of change In the most heartless
places. So there came the Idea of
making ray hats depositories. I keep
$5 or $10 in each chapeau. In this
way I always have money with me.
And what robber would think of look
ing there for loot? And, best of all, 1
often forget how much I have and
think It Is all gone—when, lo, I find
$10 ,in the fur edge of some lining."
"The only objection Is once I gave
a hat away without examining the
crown. Anu ever since I have been
about $10 short.”
RICE IS JAVA'S MAIN CROP
Cultivation of the Staple a S/pw
Process, All the Work Being
Done by Hand.
Rice is the most important of all
crops in Java. The most productive
method of cultivating it is by means
of "sawuhs'’ or wet fields. The sa
wahs consist of plots of ground sur
rounded by little dykes which allow
water either to be run In or off. Where
the land is sloping the fields are
formed into a succession of terraces,
causing tlie wuter to trickle from one
to the other.
Rice Is sown by tlie natives by hand
After sowing, tlie fields are flooded li.»
day and drulned by night for eigbi
or ten days, says the Detroit News,
in about six weeks the spikes are
replanted in groups of two or three
stems together, each group being
stuck into tiie muddy soil at a dis
tance of about one Inch apart. Tlie
soil Is then flooded and drained eiery
two or three day* Hnd at tlie end of
the fourth or fifth month, after re
planting, tlie crop is ready to be
gathered.
The harvest is gathered stem by
stem, the natives stunding and cut
ting them at a height of two feet eigiit
inches from the ground.
The rice, after being stacked in
bumties and dried, is put Into a
trough and a stamp or pestle Is used
to separate the grain from the straw.
The grain Is husked by means of a
large mortar In which disks of stone.
Iron, or wood are kept moving either
by buffalo traction or water power.
Wa« Late With Her Gossip.
Mrs. Doherty was the gossip of the
suburb of Wlmhlesyead, und whenever
any of her neighbors met her they al
ways prepared to receive a nice tit
bit of scandal about some of their
friends.
Mrs. Gadabout loved gossip nearly
as much as did Mrs. Doherty, and so
she was extremely pleased when she
saw the latter lady coming along in
her direction one morning when she
was out shopping
“Did you tell Mrs. Newlfe that you
saw her husband In town with a
strange woman?” Mrs. Gadabout asked
when they had exchanged greetings.
“Yes," was the reply, “and I wish
I hadn't now. She Just smiled at me
In her wise way and said: ‘Yes, I
knew all about that. My husband suw
you and knew you'd come straight hack
to tell me. so he telephoned the news
to me himself.”
Hoist by His Own Petard.
A working sens.- of fun Is a good
thing to [sissess, for sometimes If the
humor of a situation cannot take the
place of cash there Is no compensation
at all. A case In point Is that of H. It.
Traill, Hn Kngllsh litterateur. One of
Traill’s earliest Journalistic commis
sions was to write a series of articles
In a paper edited by a lady well
known years ugo as a strong advocate
of “women's rights," as the phrase
went, on the anomalies and Injustices
of the British law relating to woman's
property. The articles were duly writ
ten und published, but the remunera
tion agreed upon was not forthcom
ing. After repeated but fruitless de
mands for payment Traill brought a
suit against the lady, who successfully
Invoked against her contributor the
law she had engaged him to attack.
TENNIS BALL KILLS HIPPO
Cincinnati Zoo Lose* Largest Speci
men in United States.
The person who threw the tennis
hall Into the cage of Zeekoe, gigantic
hippopotamus at the Cincinnati zoo,
caused the death of that animal, fa
mous us the largest in captivity In
Wnerlcu.
The tennis ball was found wedged
n the animal's stomach, where, un
ible to pass further through the nar
row opening, It formed an ohstruc
ion, which resulted In Zeekoe’s death
nfter four days of suffering.
The animal, which weighed about
two tons and a half, was valued at $5,
NH), but was considered as being worth
many times that sum as an attraction
at the zoo.
Zeekoe's life wus Imperiled on a pre
vious occasion by some thoughtless
visitor permitting him to swullow a
woman's mesh bundling.
In nddltlon to the tennis hall a
number of pennies were also revealed
In the stomach.
BEES STING HORSE TO DEATH
Swarm on Backs of Team Until They
Are Sprayed Off.
The bees mnde a mistake. They
thought the backs of Chester Patter's
t^pam a good place for their swarm
to settle. And there was no pond In
which the horses and their driver. 1
Lee Watters, could take refuge.
The swarm came drifting Into nn
orchard near Rochester, N. Y., where
Watters was harrowing. They Ignored
all the apple trees and picked out the
worst possible place. Watters tried
scraping them off by driving under
low branches, but that didn't work
and he tried breuking up the swarm
with a pole. That was his mistake.
The bees took up their weapons and
went to wur. Watters and the horses
tried to leave the field of battle, but
the bees stayed right with them until
some one thought to get a hose. Then
before the bees could be chased away I
one horse was stung to death and the
other severely hurt.
WILL CLEAN BIGGEST FLAG
Vacuum Machine to Be Used on Pos
tal Department’s Banner.
The biggest Hag in the world is go
ing to get a thorough cleaning shortly.
It hangs In the court of the Past
Office department, its sheer length of
seventy feet and four Inches falling to j
dll the great space In which It is dis- i
played.
A vacuum cleaner will be applied to 1
Its wool folds, and the dust which has |
accumulated upon It whisked out. The
banner is said to be the largest free
hanging flag.
The hig flag, which has a breadth of
37 feet, would present quite a diffi
cult problem If It were washed, so
“dry cleaning” is resorted to, It having
been cleaned several times before in
similar manner.
