Mrs. Mary Jane Butler
Keeps Her Promise
“I’ll outsell other women of the
Auxiliary”, she said. And so far
she has.
(by J. E. HILL)
(Special to the Omaha Guide)—
She being a LegiOnnette and I a
Legionnaire, Mrs. Mary Jane But
ler and I are quite good friends
and kid each other a Jot. When
she started selling Bonds and.
Stamps, naturally I had a few wise
cracks to make concerning her a
bility as a salesman. And she, be
ing who who can give just as well
as she can take, told me that she
intended to outsell any women in
the Auxiliary who even acted as if
she were going to try to sell Bonds
and stamps. And don’t you know
so far she has made good on her
word?

sales she had sold upwards of $2000
worth and was still going strong.
Now that isn’t hay in anybody’s
language, and it takes a lot of
work to sell that many bonds with
so many others on the northsirte'
doing the -same thing. But still T
wanted to make some wise cracks,
and again she turned them to good,
u’se and made me look more like
a bum than ever.
“Well,” I said, “For one who
knows so little about anything you
haven’t done badly at all. How
did you do it ?”
“And I believe you would really
like to know!” she giinned.
"I have a reason for trying to
do so well- And it isn’t just a de
sire to win over others in the Aux
iliary.”
“What reason?1’ I came back,
trying to appear unconcened, but
only succeeding in looking moi e
foolish.
She replied. "Well, the only way
I can help to win this war is by
selling as imany bonds and stamps
as possible. In spite of the fact
there isn’t the average amount of
brain cells in your head and in
spite of my doubts, perhaps you
are well enough informed to know
that they won’t let us women car
ry arms and fight on the battle
fields with the men. Therefore
for those of us not in the WACs
this is one of the best ways in
which we we can help them.’’
After I had admitted that she
was right she continued. “Furth
ermore, I have another reason now
for helping to win the war.”
“What is it?” Iwas t°o curious
to attempt any xvise cracks.
“A seven pound baby girl,” she
replied proudly.
“T’ain’t true!” I gasped in amaze
ment forgetting what little english
I am suppose to know. •
“T’is true,” she countered.
“Don’t be dumb! I know what
you’re thinking. You would! I
became a grandmother the other
day.”
“Oh,” I murmured.
“Yes,” she went on, “Tuesday
morning at 4:15 there was horned
to imy son and his wdfe, Mr. and
Mrs. Larry Butler, 1819 1-2 Chari
es street, a baby daughter, whom
they ihave named Carotene.My
daughter-in-law and granddaught
er are doing well at Frederick
Hospital, 205 South 37th street
I where they are at the present time”
And that folks, is the answer tc
the sixty-four dollar question.
Yes, Mrs. Mary Jane Butler real
izes now that she has more reas
ons than ever to do all she can in
support of the war effort- And
with a look that only shows in the
eyes of mothers and grandmothers
with an “I’ll be seeing you,” she
got to her feet, adjusted on her
head one of those things women
are so fond of. referring to as hats
and left me in search of more bond
buyers. And although I’im not a
betting man, I’ll lay anyone odd?

NAACP
Yes and again discontented, the
person that Is not contented with
his lot in life is the one that will
go ahead in life. The English
people gathering at Runnymeade
forced the Magna Charta from
King John. The coming to Amer
ica of Columbus followed later by
the Pilgrims, all seeking a freeer
broader life, The Colonists who
fought taxation and the revolut
ionary war; The praying Negroes
and Abolitionists not satisfied with,
the yoke of bondage were seeking
the right to a place in the sun and
were discontented.
People the world over today are
determined to make a change.
There is a clearly drawn line, on
one side is the group seeking a
selfish policy of greed, power and
intolerance; On the other side—
those who believe in Love thy
Neighbor as thyself. Justice, fair
play, tolerance and all the Freed

mocracy.

It's no longer TABOO for girls
to talk of this possible help
You can’t expect a grin-and-beor
it attitude to bring relief from the
distress of periodic, functional pain.
Perhaps that’s why so many
.vomen use CARDUI. It has a 62
year record of 2-way help, when
taken as directed: (1) started three
days before “your time,” it should
help relieve pain due to purely pe
riodic, functional Causes; (2) taken
as a tonic. CARDUI usually im
proves appetite, aids digestion by
increasing the flow of gastric
juices, and thus helps build resis
tance. which often aids in minimiz
ing periodic functional distress.
Try CARDUI. You may be glad '
you did!
