for Honors in Big
4 Ak’ Member Drive
Samson Highly Pleased With
Showing Made in Round
up for 1921
Knights.
With Ak Sar Ben's campaign for
1924 members rapidly drawing to a
close, the competition between the
various groups in the noonday clubs
" Is waxing warm.
In the Concord club the December
group, headed by Kvorett Dodds, Is
leading by a considerable number.
Will AfJckel is high man in the cluh.
In the Rotary club the competition
is keen between the March group,
headed by Frank Haskell with 34
members, and the October group with
George Seabury captain, with 41.
The den show committee of the
Dions club, with Horace Higgins
leader, Js high in that organisation,
followed closely by the wr’fare com
mittee. captained by Roy Swanson.
Tn addition to the prizes offered by
Samson for the winning groups In the
Dions club these teams are battling
for a five-course dinner.
Tn the Kiwanis cluh Malcolm Bald
ridge, chairman of Ak Sar Ben activ
ity committee, has charged each
member with the job of bringing in
at least five members for Ak-Sar-Ben.
Quite a, number of members have
already ^completed their quota and are
now assisting their fellow members.
Baldrige says the Kiwanis club will
average five members In Ak-Sar-Ben
for every member of the club.
The results obtained by the clubs
have been satisfactory up to this
time, says Samson. Members of the
luncheon clubs who have been active
have easily reached their quota ahd
if the efforts are continued Samson
will open the den season June 2 with
a credible Bhowing.
Robert S. Trimble, chairman of the
membership committee, advised that
there would be no close in the drive
until Omaha Is properly represented,
Ak-Sar-Ben cannot function without
a large membership. It will be of no
advantage to Omaha or the commun
ity to conduct Ak-Sar-Ben activities
Without a large membership. It is up
to the men of Omaha If they want
Ak Sar Ben to continue in the future
as in the last 30 years as the only or
ganization of its kind in the D’nlted
States, they must support it by Join
ing. Members are guaranteed full
value for their $10 bills in personal
returns.

Auto Turns Over anti
4 Escape Serious Injury
Special Dispatch to The Omaha H«.
Columbus, Neb., May 17.—Four peo
ple narrowly escaped serious injury
when an automobile driven by Ernest
Stauffer, Woodbwi*y county, Iowa, re
tired farmer, turned over In the road
between David City and Columbus.
Stauffer, in attempting to avoid a
crash with a speeding automohillst,
turned his own car into the ditch,
throwing the occupants from the car.
Stauffer suffered slight bruises and
his wife was cut about the arms when
she was thrown into a barbed wire
fence. Two children of the family es
caped injijry.
By L C. GRAHAM.
Gypsies, wandering from city to
city and state to state, but unlike
the true gyppy of the highways,
eventually returning to their starting
point, home.
So might the wanderers who as
semble daily in automobile tourists'
camp be described. From their homes
in every state they come. Never
‘-•ittsfied with familiar scenes. Al
ways ready to push on to the next
town. But all with a good word for
the camp that has been provided at
Omaha.
At the camp Thursday morning
Mr. and Mrs. P. P. Day, Belling
ham, Wash., pulled down the tent
that sheltered them through the night,
had breakfast and moved on to their
next stopping point fcom what they
termed one of the three best ramps
they have found, to see what the
state of Iowa had to offer.
For *'Ma" and "Pa” Day have been
on the road since August IB, 1923.
They have stopped In camps in almost
every state west of the Mississippi
and south of the Missouri rivers and
know what "gypsying” means.
"Vou see,” Day declared, "we have
w'orked all of nur lives and Just dr
cided we had a vacation coming. So
we took it. We have a lot of reia
tives along the route me are taking
and we stop over every so often and
rest.
"But. theie are lots of towns where
we had to depend on the camps. ]
want to say that there la no ramp
any more comfortable than this one
in Omaha.
“In Long Bearh. Oak w* found a
nire ramp. Things were mighty nice
and handy there but no more so than
here.
"The going wasn't had at all," Mrs.
Day declared. "It has been a lot
of fun and in about three months
we will he home again.
"In all the country we have cov
ered, we have looked at farm lands
and roads. The roads were of the
greatest interest, of course, hut the
farms were attractive, too.
"The on© thing T don't see Is how
they ever managed to build a. road
into the desert. We thought It would
be easy to cross the desert when we
started, because there was a paved
road. That lasted about four hours
and then we began to find out things.
There was a. lot of wind and it kept
drifting the sand Into the tracks of
the cars that had passed before ns.
It made following tho trail pretty
hard. But I was so busy looking for
a giant cactus in bloom that I didn't
mind.”
Nebraska’s Cattle Industry Fame
Spreads to Faraway Philippines
Nebraska Is considered s. rattle
state. For example, take a letter,
written February 21, and received by
the Omaha C'hamher of Commerce last
week. It asks that literature on Ne
braska’s cattle Industry be forwarded
and comes from the Philippine islands.
Several months ago tbe publicity
department of the chamber inserted
a small advertisement In a teachers'
magazine announcing that pamphlets
on the cattle Industry of Nebraska
would be forwarded to any instructor
who wished them.
In the mail was a letter, much
stamped and travel stained. I* pur
ported to come from Carmclo .lamias,
Cabagan. Isabela, P. I. Cabagan Is a
small town In the district of Isabela
on the island of Luzon, about 100
miles north of Manila.
The letter reads:
“I enclose a coupon for whhh roil
offer to teacher* a free copy of the
'Livestock Industry In Nebraska.' I
am a teacher In the Oabagan Central
school. District No. 1, and am Inter
ested In this Industry.
"Hoping to receive your prompt
attention, I am, respectfully yours,
"CARMELO JAMAIS.”
Miss Jamals Is to receive ths pam
phlet as quickly as ths malls will
carry it to her.
The Information Is thought to he
desired to assist teachers in a cam
paign that is In progress to mava eat
tie from the lowlands into the dis
tricts that are mountainous Isabela
is situated among the highest moun
tains on Luzon and comprises about
a a much territory a» two Nebraska

Planned.
Orchard and Wilhelm! company, one
of the few retail stores in Omaha
conducted by its original officers, will
celebrate the 31st anniversary of the
store this week.
The first officers, who are still at
the head of the organization, are E.
W. Dixon, president, and C. M. Wil
helm, vice president and treasurer.
Two other men, W. H. Kowdlear and
If. A. Pinkerton, have been associated
with the company for 23 years.
The Orchard and Wilhelm company
was organized in 1S93 with S. A. Or
chard as president. Mr. Orchard
withdrew from the company five years
later, leaving Mr. Dixon and Mr. Wil
helm as its heads. The first Orchard
& Wilhelm store was located in the
Continental block at Fifteenth and
Douglas streets.
New Store in 1905.
After doing business at that loca
tion for 12 years a new store was
built in 1905 by George A. Hoagland
on the Sixteenth and Howard street
site. An addition building for the
store was erected In 111* faelrg oi|
Howard street, making a seven stor*
structure with approximately ISO On®
square feet of floor space. The ConWt
pany has a large warehouse at Nlnt||
street and Capitol avenue.
The Orchard and Wilhelm comps n®
also controls and sella the output of
the Orchard A Wilhelm furniture turf
tory at Ralston, where l!*\ng roorh)
furniture le made, and the Orchard 4
Wilhelm mattress factory at Elevsn'li
and Howard atreeta, whsre 200 wte.W

Business Increase Brea®.
In 1923 the company did 3# tlr«e<
as much business as In 1*33, said
Wilhelm. A wholesale business
conducted by the company that »w*
tends to Iowa and as far west a®
Idaho and Montana.
“Growth of the business has beer*
constant and conservative,” declared
Mr. Wilhelm. “When Mr. Dixon and
I came here from W. G. Sloan corn*
pany in New York we believed Omaha
a distributing point that had a great
future. We believe Omaha has *
still greater future.”
Anniversary week at Orchard »r’'l
Wilhelm company will be marked by
sales In every department and a.
greater volume of business is expected
than during any other week In the
history of the store.
