Anonymous Letter
Threatens Omahan
Another anonymous letter threat
ening his welfare has been received
by V. S. Wilson, Nebraska man, now
living In Omaha, who vai forced to
sell his paper In a little Oklahoma
town at ruinous loss, and leave, be
cause of activities which he attributes
to the Ku Klux Klan.

Sanford stationery and dated October

portance on the "Ag” calendar. The

ner Of advertising etock is by exhibi
tion. The public is invited to the

Bank Deposit of $1,000 in
Defunct Bank Forgotten
Consider the predicament of Miss
Clara Kramer, 1408 South Seventeenth
street, who “forgot" about $1,000 de
posit certificate In the defunct Ameri
can State bank, until after the re
ceivership was closed.
Now, unless she wants to start a
lawsuit to get her money, she must
have the receivership reopened, in
order that her certificate may be ex
changed for cash. As things stand
now, the former receiver has no pow
er to liquidate the instrument.
Clinton Brome, attorney for the re
ceiver, has advised her to pursue this
course. All funds deposited In the
bank and unclaimed by depositors
during the period of receivership, re
vert lo the state guarantee fund.

Republican Voters

State Platform
Women to Have Part in Pre
Primary Arrangements,
x Conference at Lin
coin Decides.
I.lncoln, Oct. 27.—Need of a con
structive program to put beforo the
voters of Nebraska was the keynote
of the discussion at a meeting of re
publican state committeemen held
here this afternoon. In order to
formulate that program committee
men who were not present and county
secretaries will be asked to send in
their views to the secretary of the
state committee.
It is hoped that they can be co
ordinated and that the nucleus of a
definite platform can bo prepared
prior to the state convention. Th^t
the women of the state may have a
voice in the program. Mrs. Blanche
Williams of Ainsworth was appointed
chairman of a committee of three
to present to the state advisory com
mittee the views of Nebraska women
voters.
A motion was put by Robert Smith
of Omaha, that the chairmen of the
county delegations meet with other
chairmen in the same congressional
district with the Idea of selecting a
delegate who could outline a plat
form that would conform with the
views of the district. The motion
failed, when it wns demonstrated to
Mr. Smith that It was impracticable
because of the large numlior of coun
ties in some of the districts, the
Sixth, for example, numbering 36.
Secretary Bass reported that the
state organization was in the clear,
financially, and it was decided that
the organization that he has built up
will continue until January 1, when
it will be expanded to meet the great
er needs of the party.
Among th"' 15 who were present at
the meeting were Robert Smith and
Harry Lapidus of Omaha, Mrs.
Blanche Williams of Ainsworth, Mrs.
F. Vanderworker of Kearney and
Miss Clara Smith of University
Place.

37 Years Ago at
Thompson-Belden’s
“Mr. Belden,” I began,
“how do the shopping
advantages enjoyed by 1
women of today compare
with those of 37 years
ago?” This was my
lead for the interview
the president of Thomp
son-Eeldon Company had
promised me about the
yesterdays and the to
morrow of the things
Omaha women buy from
us. “Far better, today!”
came his answer like a
flash. Surely the spirit
of a man past three score
years and ten has bathed in
the Fountain of Youth who
still sees the luster of today
as surpassing the glories of
the yester years. Then we
chatted a bit about the quaint
changes in women’s wear
that Mr. Belden has been pri
vileged to observe since the
founding of this store.
The Silks Stood Up
for Themselves
As you recall
it, what was
the most fash
ionable silk 37
years ago,” I
asked Mr. Bel
den. “G r o s
grains were the
great thing in those
days, ’ he informed me,
“and a dress of the best
quality would almost
stand alone.’’ Contrast
that with the soft,
drapey crepes of today!
^Taffetas,” he conti nued,
were 19 inches wide and 22
yards was the average dress
PBttrrn- 1 well remem
ber the first silk dress I sold.
It was an event to sell a silk
dress in those days. A gen
tleman from Tekamah bought
it to take home to his wife”
(Another vesterdav!) But
tomotrow in our Si'lk Section
scores of dress patterns will
be sold from the 40-inch, all
silk crepe de chine priced for
the Anniversary at $1.37 a
yard.”
The Same Yesterday,
Today and Tomarrmr
‘Two of the best
A n n i versary
bargains in the
^ o t i o n s are
quaint con
trasts ofchange
and the un
changing. The
J. & r. Coats best six
cord cotton thread that
you can buy this week af
9 spools for 37c is the
same brand we sold over s
the counter in our first
store at 1319 Farnam St.
But Sonia hair nets that will
be one of our biggest sellers
at 37c a dozen for the single
or double rr.esh. were then
unknown. The few hair nets
worn were made of heaw,
twisted silk. The invisible
net made of human hair,
without which few women
feel properly dressed today,
was undreamed of.”
The Belles of *S6
“What was the
smartest thing
in gloves when
r Thompson-Bel
den’s first as
sumed the fash
ion leadership
of Omaha.” I
next wanted to know.
“Well, we used to sell a
groat many pretty silk
mitts, and really no lady
was elegantly dressed without
them.” Can’t you just see
them—those belles of ’$6?
“But we sold even a greater
number of lisle gloves—then
a sort of Cinderella among
gloves that evolved into the
beautiful fabric styles of to
day. Nothing was known of
such beauty of fit and finish
as you will find in'the em
broidered fabric gauntlets you
can buy tomorrow at 9?e a
pair. '
Xothing Like It
In the under
wear Section.”
I conti nued,
“did you have T
anythin? to
compare with
the exquisite
crepe de chine
nightgowns on sale to
morrow at $1.95?”
“Nothing, my child.” he
replied, casting a glance
to the high heavens. “Why
the undergarments of the
working girl of today are
finer than those of a million
aire’s wife of 37 years aRt>.*’
Thus, with economic indepen
dence. the working girl signs
her own emancipation procla
mation.
Iteinn Thick With
Presidents
Interviewing presidents may
he a hit awesome in some
stores, hut here it is one of
the nicest things that can hap
pen. It may happen to you
some day if you shop here
often For I have noticed
Mr. Belden is a crest fellow
to he chatting with folks ahont
the store and it makes one of
the pleasantest and sunniest
moments in a long, husv dav.
