LINCOLN ATTRACTION FOR
STATE FAIR VISITORS
.Mammoth New .Store of Iludge A
OiHMirel To. Opened to Public Since
Ist .Stat Fair Wan Held.
THE VICTORY GIRL
By HORTENSE CALOWELL.
A new attraction for state fair vis
Jtors to Lincoln this year will be the
mew store of the Rud?e & Gueniel
Company on N street from 12th to
13th street. Work on this building
"was started In October 1917, and
after much delay, due to shortage of
material and labor during the war,
"was completed In time for the firm to
occupy In February this year.
Particular among the construction
features of the new building are the
lighting and ventilating systems.
This new store is conceded to be the
best daylighted store in the country,
and this borne out by the fact that
over 25,000 square feet of plate
glass have been used and that day
light reaches each floor virtually
from four sides. Over 375 feet of
frontage are given to entrance and
show windows, the largest plate
Xlass windows In Lincoln.
The building Is ventilated with
washed air drawn into the building
and forced through a continuous
apray of puri water by fans and dis
tributed through the store.
Another Interesting feature is the
facilities for receiving and delivering
all shipments. The heavy trucks
that come from the station with ship
ments of freight may run directly in
to the elevator, which will accomo
date tracks twenty-two feet long, and
will carry 10,000 pounds to any floor
of the building a smaller freglht
elevator accommodating 4.000
pounds will take care of lighter
shipments.
A large spiral chute of the latest
Improved type will carry packages to
the dellcvery room in the basement.
A pneumatic tube system carries bills
and cash from all parts of the build
ing to the cashiers department in the
tasement.
Ejery part of the building has
been constructed as nearly fire and
accident proof as modern science
made possible. The elevators have I
xne noor iignis ana locaing aevices,
making it impossible for elevators to
atart until the doors are closed.
Many other interesting features
are to be found in this new store of
which the firm is Justly proud and
anxious and willing to explain to
visitors.
Smallest National Par.
The smallest of our national parks
Contains Just thirty-eight acres and Is
n Prince of Wales Island, Southeast
ern Alaska. It was created but a year
r so ago by presidential proclama
tion. The park is an abandoned In
dian village, chiefly Interesting for it
totem poles. There are, also, some
tralldlngs, which nre the best known
examples of Haias Indian architecture
. Kd Holhurn rose from hi chair ami
stood looking out. Apparently he wan
in deep thought, but he really wan be
ginning to become very 'angry. With
a little start he turned to the girl on
the sofa culmly huniniinjr a populir
air.
"Peggy Starr, I wouldn't believe yw
would be so unaccommodating with
out saying a word from the patriotic
point of view. It certainly wouldn't
hurt you to help me out by Just dolnj
such a little thing as that."
"I've told you. I wouldn't be In thai
parade and I mean It. Why, Ed, do
you think for a minute I would go
riding all about the streets of this
city mounted on an old wagon, and
having every eye on the street cor
ners looking me In the face. Well, I
guess not," she ended with finality.
"Well, there's a good many girls that
are going to be in It that are in even
better society than you are, and they
don't see anything the matter with it"
"It doesn't make the slightest differ
ence to me wha anybody else does,
Ed, so please let the matter drop. And
If you would go along now It would be
very nice of you, as I have a good
many things to do this evening."
Ed noticed the chill note In her voice
and took his hat without another word.
The moment he had left the room,
Peggy Jumped np to go after him.
With great effort she held herself back,
but she continued to think of what
she had said. She knew she had hurt
Ed's feelings and It bothered her more
than she cared to admit. Still think
ing how mean she had acted, she was
Interrupted by the ringing of the tele
phone. "Hello," said the voice of her chum,
ITelen Whitman. "Peggy, have you
been asked to be In the parade next
Monday?"
"Yes, but Tm not going to do It,"
replied Peggy slowly.
"You're not? Why, Peg, I thought
of course you were. Why, the idea,
everybody is going to do something
for that."
"Well, I for one, will be the laugh
ing stock for nobody. If you want to
be dressed up like a wax doll and set
in a chariot for everyone to gaze at,
you can, but I'm not going to."
"Some people give the boys a hearty
welcome when they come home," came
from Helen sarcastically as she re
placed the receiver on the hook. After
shutting off, Peggy got up with tears
in her eyes. She had been looking at
the celebration from her own stand
oiatflever giving a thought to whom
ft wn TenTTy Tor." Quickly she took up
the telephone and got the chairman of
the committee on the tin-?. "Mr. Woodl
Well, this Is Margaret Starr on Wood
stead street. I understand you need
somebody Tor a role In the pitrude. If
It Is convenient for you 1 will stop at
your ofllee on my way downtown."
The next day Peggy Starr started on
a little visit tv a neighboring city and
when Ed called that evening he wai
told Miss Starr would return Monday.
Of course, Ed firmly believed she had
gone away In order not to be nsked
about the parade. With a little shrng
of the shoulders he turned and went tc
his office. Twice between Frlilay eve
ning ninl Monday morning he culled
her up via telephone, only to hear she
had not returned and there was nc
message.
At last Monday came, the day ol
the great pnrade. The sun rose ovei
the New England hills In thn dlstanc
with alarming rapidity, and by tec
o'clock the parade had formed In line
The floats were many and elaborate
but one In particular attracted much
attention. The automobile was tnndt
Into a modern chariot, with American
flags covering the whole outside. In
aide, the chariot was pure white, and
on one end a high platform. One fig
ure stood on this platform, "Columbia"
by name, and at her feet sat two bravi
lads, one In blue and one In khaki. Ai
the float moved slowly about th
streets and "Columbia" stood holdlni
ber torch majestically above her head
everyone was thrilled. At last th
route was covered and scores of peo
ple were crowding about the beautiful
float. "Columbia" stepped from hei
platform , where the radiant Ed wai
awaiting her.
"Peggy. Is It really you doing tolsT
"Why, of course. It la L Doat J
look natural?"
"But where have yon been these last
three, days?"
"Ed. you made me feel so ashamed
the other day, I had to go somewhere,
so I went down to Lancaster. 1
thought you'd be glad."
"Glad I Why I'm so glad I could
cry, Peggy. You certainly are one of
those Victory Girls."
"But. Ed, the greatest victory Tvt
had Is the one over myself. I have
learned a' good lesson and my pride
will be better for It." With a happj
Blgh she laid her hand In Ed's.
