Mrs. Thomaa L. Kimball, president of
the Creche, has submitted her report for
the year, which, with that of tha treasurer.
Miss Susan Holdrege, - shows a year of
splendid activity and progress. '
This la the president's report In full:
"All's well that ends well," applies to
the affairs of the Creche for the year Just
closed.. The Charity ball absorbed our at
tention to the exclusion of the annual elec
tion which was postponed. To Mrs. W. A.
Paxton and her able assistants was due
the unqualified success of the ball. The
Vroceeds above alU expenses amounted to
IC'4 19. At the annual meeting, held on
February the terms of several members
having expired, new members were added
to our board.
The resignation of our treasurer, Mrs.
Arthur Brandeis, who so ably filled the
office for many years, was received with
deep regret. Miss Susan Holdrege was
elected treasurer, and the other officers
were re-elected. Committee appointed to
mok imoTh. dally nolng. at the CrMha
rerorted scrupulous neatness, plentiful ra
tio is rigid economy, but not enough
chlWren to warrant the expense Incurred.
n many more were taken In by tne aay.
The Christopher children. In view of the
strenuous efforts of the widowed mother
to pay her past debt. a. well as her pres
ent fees, were allowed to remain at the
home during the summer.
The annual card party, under the super
vision of Mrs. H. T. Lemlat, netted $342.
The details of this brilliant affair I need
not give here. "Behold are they not writ

mous vote of both could they be merged,
and not without violation of Its constitu
tion could The Creche be absorbed or di
vert Its property. . Tho meeting called for
the purpose of . setting forth these facts
failed in Its object owing to the resigna
tion of the members wKi favored thla im
possible merger. Wnlle we greatly re
gretted their loss It seemed wise to accept
the resignations, rather than embark on
a course that might lead to much entangle
ment and probably to the loss of many
promised bequests, whose terms might not
be remoulded to conform to new condi
tions. In one Instance tt was certain that
the change of name alone would have Irre
trievably lout the entire bequest. About
this time a case of severity at The Creche
brought about the dismiecal of our matron
and nurse. Mrs. (juackenbush and Miss
Mable Joivtx filled vacancies temporarily,
while the task of finding a competent ma
tron and nurse .engaged our whole force.
After seven weeks' search we found two
residents of Omaha, both mothers, who
took the positions and are giving excellent
satisfaction. In the miilat of our perplexi
ties Mrs. Brandeis, Miss Millard. Mrs.
Cowrln and others took The Creche babies
and their nurses to a delightful picnic at
Mrt. Brandeis' fine 4 country place. Invi
tations were received from the Manawa
management for a -day with them. We
accepted with thanks.
We received a warm letter from Mrs.
Dahlman, enclosing $135, the prize won bv
the mayor in the story telling contest. A
gentrous gift, gratefully acknov'"ed.
We are highly flattered that of all the
charities of Omaha, the Creche was se
lected by our army friends to share the
proceed of the charity ball at Fort Crook.

ODD FELLOWS TO CELEBRATE

CENSUS MUSTSHOW INDUSTRY
Government Statistics Will Not Be
Allowed to Cheat Omaha.
COMMERCIAL CLUB ON LOOKOUT
It Will See that Industrial Records
Give Gate City Credit for Re
markable Progress It
Haa Made, -.rn"----'
--'
That Omaha may have the proper show
ing In the Industrial department of the 1910
census, the Commercial club, through Its
committee on manufactures, has become
acUve. ,
J. M, Guild, commissioner of the club,
who has charge of Industrial affairs, re
ported to the executive com It tee at Its last
meeting that the census' figures of 1900 and
1906 showed an Increase of only eleven con
cerns, an Increase of from 307 to 318 In five
years, while South Omaha was given no
advance.
The census shows forty-one for South
Omaha In 1900 and the same In 1906. Omaha
haa had an increase of seventy-five new
Industries each year for the Jast two years
and the club wants It to 'show in the
census. .
The Commercial club has been -most ac
tive in securing new concerns for Omaha
and South Omaha since 190G and has met
with great success. A careful canvass by
the census takers this year should show
a big Increase, not only In the number of
establishments, but also in the amount' of
capital invested, the volume of business
and the value of the output. This work Is
now started under tha direction of C. H.
Gordon, special agent of the census bureau,
and while necessarily slow, can be expe
dited by Omaha and South Omaha manu
facturers giving their hearty co-operation
in the difficult task. 1
Blanks sent out call for a description of
tho establishment. Its corporate or Indi
vidual character, time of operation and
hours working during "the year, capital In
vested and how distributed, between land,
buildings, stock and machinery; number of
salaried employes and wage earners; total
amount paid in salaries and wages during
the year; cost of supplies, materials, qual
ity and cost of fuel; miscellaneous ex
penses, including rent; value of products
and kind and amount of power used.
Assurance of tt.
As an assurance that all this will be used
only legitimately and the compilation of
these statistics, the following paragraph,
taken from over the signature of E. Dana
Durand, director of the census, Is quoted:
All answers will be held absolutely con
fidential. No publication will be made In
the census reports disclosing the name or
operations of individual establishment in
any particular. The act of congress pro
vides that the bureau of census shall not
permit any other than the sworn employes
of the bureau to examine the Individual re
ports. It also provides that any employe
who shall, without the authority of the
director of the census publish or communi
cate any Information coming Into his pos
session shall be guilty of a misdemeanor,
and upon conviction be fined not to exceed
$1,000 or be Imprisoned not to exceed two
years, or both, in the discretion of the
court,
. The census of manufactures is taken In
conformity with the requirements of the
act of congress approved July t, 1909.

'
Mayor Anton Dredla of Crete, who was
in Omaha with several members of the

said Mayor Dredla, with solemn (unction.
"As the front yard, so to speak, of the
city building, of course, the clerk's office
ought to be very nice. When I step Into
this space here and -note the elegant floor
covering I hesitate to pet foot on it. I
may aav we can do better in Crete, but
that Is not because I want to hurt your
feelings."-
Butlur and his clerks and two or three
rouncllmen of Omaha looked at the floor
thoughtfully, then at Dredla and the Crete
aldermen, Messrs. Kelly, Cole and Kuntz,
who were having a hard time trying to
keep their faces In correct shape. That
floor covering, it may be remarked, mltiht
look passable in a cattle corral. Inside and
outald tha counter It Is the cheapest grade
of linoleum, tattered and patched like a
beggar's breeches.
, Aflr the Crete officials had gone out,
Butler wrote out a big sign, Private,"
and retired to his own little cage, where
he remained until 'everybody had left the
building.
Tha sign was still up when the office
opened up In the morning. When Council
man Johnson saw it on the closed door he
sniffed and remarked:
"Getting pretty exclusive for a plain dem
ocratic official, isn't he?
And Johnson Is chairman of the commit
tee that nailed down the disreputable floor
covering. When Butler heard what John
son said he bit a pen in two. He refuses to
take food, much less to talk.
