Hot biscuits that just
melt in your mouth
Try making your next batch of hot biscuits with Omar
Wonder Flour. Use the same recipe you always use.
Then see the difference. As they come out of the oven,
golden and brown, your mouth will water just to look at
them. And good they're a revelation !
You can get light, tempting hot breads every time if
you will use Omar Wonder flour. It is unsurpassed
for every flour use. Folks just rave over cakes, pies,
waffles, doughnuts, cookies, gravies and cream sauces
when they're made with Omar.
The reason for the goodness of Omar Wonder Flour
is no secret. Only the very finest selected spring and
winter wheat is used. We test every run that goes
through the mill before we ship one sack of it. So when
you buy Omar, you know that you are getting the best
a health-building flour that will make the best bread
and more loaves per sack than any other flour you ever
used. We know it too we're so sure of it that we make
it a guarantee. If it isn't so, your grocer will give you
your money back for the empty sack.

CHRISTIAN CHURCH
MEN HOLD BANQUET
AND ORGANIZE CLUB
Election of Officers Held and a Very
Pleasant Occasion Enjoyed by
New Men's Clnb.
From Wednesday's Dm.!ly
Last evening the First Christian
church was the scene of a very pleas
ant gathering of the men of the
church, the occasiong being marked
by a fine banquet which the ladies
of the church arranged and served
for the newly organized Men's club.
The scene was very attractive with
the snowy linen, the sparkling sil
ver and china and the group of some
forty deeply interested men of the
church who were intent on carrying
out the plans for a successful organ
ization of the men of the church.
The Rev. Walter R. Robb, pastor
of the church, presided in his usual
pleasing manner at the session.
During the banquet a very pleas
ing program was enjoyed by the
members of the "party, Manford
Drake furnishing a delightful vocal
N)lo and little Miss Catherine Terry
berry and Master Wallace Terry
berry giving two piano and drum
duets that made a decided hit with
the members of the party.
The election of the officers of the
organization which adopted the
name, "Men's Club of the First
Christian church," was then taken
up and the following were selected:
President II. L. Thomas.
Vice President George Rogers.
Secretary L. F. Terryberry.
Treasurer B. A. McElwain.
The meeting also decided to hold
the business, meetings on the first

At the close of the evening, B. A.
McElwain gave a very pleasing solo,
"The Lighthouse Bell," and the

OUT
MEASLES, SCARLET
FEVER DECREASE
Smallpox, "Flu", Typhoid and Pnen-
. monia, However,. All Show
Increase
Washington, Feb. 21. How's the
health or the nation this year?
Better, thank you, so far as diph
theria, measles and scarlet fever are
concerned, answers the United States
public health service, with its fin
ger on the pulse of the country.
But there is more smallpox, ty
phoid fever, influenza and pneu
monia than a year ago.
Last year at this time 2,656 case3
of diphtheria were reported and this
year the total is 1,631 from thirty
four states, or about forty-eight cases
a state.
Reports from 104 cities, with popu
lation of about 29,000,000, show only
902 diphtheria victims, where last
year there were 1,377.
Last year the states reported 14,
092 cases of measles, and this year
the total for the week just ended is
only 2,115.
Scarlet fever has claimed 4,186
victims, about 200 less than the total
for last year, according to the state
reports. But he cities report 2,401
cases, an increase of about 200.
The figures show 1,224 smallpox
cases reported by thirty-four states,
and 3S8 cases reported by 104 cities.
The state figure is 120 over that for
last year, but the city figure is only
increased by six. The cities report
twenty-seven smallpox deaths during
the week, sixteen of which occurred
in Minneapolis.
In spite of the recent scare about
shell fish and typhiod fever, only
270 cases of typhoid were reported.
Last year there were 202 cases at
this time. The cities had ninety-four
cases, as against sixty-eight last
year.
This week cities from'all over the
country reported 1,256 deaths from
influenza and pneumonia. Last year
at this time the total was 1,074. The
increase is probably due to the re
cent severe outbreak of influenza in
southern states.

Circulated Today and Will Be Passed
Upon by Council in Submitting
Proposition to Voters.
Prom Weduaday' Ia4ly
Petitions were being circulated to
day covering the placing on the bal
lot at the city election in April of
three improvement propositions thit
have long been urged and which the
backers wish to be passed upon by
the voters of the city at this coming
municipal election.
One of the propositions to be asked
is the voting of bonds for the gravel
ing of the roadway from the end of
the paving on Elm street to the Oak
Hill cemetery, where one of the
worst pieces of road in the city ex
ists and which has in the past win
ter caused a great deal of inconven
ience to those who were laying away
their loved ones in the cemetery or
who were desirous of visiting the
cemetery.
Another proposition for which
bond3 will be asked will be that of
graveling the Louisville road from
the end of the paving on Chicago
avenue to Maiden Lane, at the city
limits, covering another main trav
eled road that is difficult of travel
in the winter or in wet weather.
The last of the proposed improve
ments that it is desired to cover by
bond issue is that of extending the
sewer on Chicago avenue from Tenth
street to the. end of the paving on
Chicago avenue. There is a small
creek or natural waterway along the
east side of Chicago avenue that has
given the city a great deal of ex
pense and trouble in the past as the
creek is subject to overflowing and
has washed away the bank so much
that it is threatening the paving
along the avenue on the east side,
by causing cave in of the brick and
which will have to be cared for in
some manner in order to protect the
6treet and which it is believed can be
handled most satisfactorily by the
putting in of the sewer line.
The petitions will be submitted to
the council, it is stated,, and who
will authorize the submission to the
voters of these propositions, that are
vital to the improvement of the city.

BRIDGE
PLANS ATTRACT
MUCH ATTENTION
luany Calls Fron Prospective Bid
ders on the New Structure to
be Built Over Platte.
From Wednesday's Daily .
The plans for the proposed King
of Trails bridge over the Platte
river north of this city, which were
prepared by State Engineer Cochran,
have been attracting the attention
of many bidders over the state in
the last few days and at the offices
of the King of Trails Bridge Co. here
as well as in Omaha, there have been
many inquiries as, to the plans and
i specifications on which bids will be
received March 2nd at the chamber
of commerce offices in Omaha.
The plans contemplate a structure
that is in strict compliance with the
latest requirements of the state and
federal governments so that when
the bridge is ready to be taken over
by the state and Cass and Sarpy
counties, it will be up to all require
ments, that may be demanded in or
der to secure the state and federal
aid on the roadways leading to the
bridge.
The plans call for piling that will
be sunk fifty feet, through the sand
and soft sandstone to the hard shale
that underlies the softer top and
which should place the superstruc
ture on a hard foundation. The pil
ing also is td be enclosed with con
crete that will give the piers added
strength.
The roadway on the bridge will be
twenty feet in width, ample for the
passage of two lines of traffic at one
time and avoiding congestion of
traffic in times of heavy travel. The
specifications call for either redwood
ct concrete "J flooring, on both of
which bids are asked. This will make
r wider bridge than was at first fig
ured on as the steel sides of the
bridge will extend at least five feet
on each side of the structure.
The approaches are to be built up
four feet above the high water mark
of the past years and which will, it
is thought, keep the water off the
roadway in high water time.

MONSTERS FOUND
Migrating Mammals Fough for Mast

in Patagonia.
Buenos Aries. Feb. 23. The bat
tle ground of the prehistoric mam
mals of Patagonia and those of North
American, discovered by Professor El
mer S. Riggs, assistant curator of
the Field museum of Chicago, con
tains one of the world's richest col
lections of fossils, according to Pro
fessor Riggs, who now is in Pata
gonia, continuing his researches.
The valley of Tarija, Bolivia,
where the troops of animals met dur
ing simultaneous migration after a
land connection had been established
between North and South America,
is filled with the bones of great
beasts which fought for mastery of
the continent.
' Bones Feared by Natives
The carnivorous animals from
North America, in years of fighting
in which the saber-tooth tiger played
a terrible role, destroyed the herbi
vorous Patagonians, and spread over
the entire continent. In turn many
of the northern invaders, including
the saber-tooth tiger, gradually were
exterminated.
Remains of the mastodon, the sa
ber tooth tiger and other fiiant eats
of prehistoric horses, of the camel
like ancestor of the llama; of the
glyptodon, the great-grandfather of
the armadillo, weighing tons; jaw
bones and legs of lestodons;- the
huge scelidodon, with a foot like a
hook, for he descended from a small
tree-climbine animal; and of other
strange creatures are mingled there
in the soil of the Tarija valley, form
ing an indelible record of a great
war and furnishing scientists an in
tensely interesting field for research.
Fossils Mingled.
Some of the remains have been ex
posed for years in the fields and by
the side of the highways. The huge
"bones of giants" are feared by the
natives, although nearly every hut
has a tusk or jawbone of some pri
mordial beast in a niche to "drive
away bad luck." The peons believe
that If the remains of these "giant3"
'are disturbed they will biow up on
the disturber, causing death!
Another native superstitution
is
that the bones get up at night and
go down to the creeks o drink. The
peons speak gravely of this as though
they had often witnessed it.

MUNICIPAL EMPLOYES NEED
PAY INCOME TAXES
A decision most important to tax
payers, if sustained by higher courts,
was announced by Judge C. C. Simons
in the U. S. Circuit Court at Detroit,
Michigan on December 23.
Judge Simons ruled that employes
of the Detroit Municipal Railways
were instrumentalities of the Federal
Government because in his opinion
"the operation and maintenance of a
street railway system in connection
with public highways, by a munici
pality, is an exercise of a strictly
governmental function.
The Internal Revenue Collector
was directed to return to an employee
of the Detroit Municipal Railways
$38.17 which he had paid in income
taxes for 1923. j
The U. S. Department of Internal .
Revenue has recently given an opin-l
ion that incomes of employees of
publicly owned utilities are subjfet
to federal taxation. Water Commis
sioner Wall of St. Louis is quoted as
saying that wages of publicly owned
utilities are based upon tax-exemption
and that if these employees are
obliged to pay income tax the muni
cipalities should reimburse them to
the amount of the tax levies.
