"Say, girlies, this le some sport," de
clared-, one of the trio of Columbia
burlesque maidens as they returned rrora
the street rosy-cheeked and flushed with
(oyous excitement after having disposed
of big packs of The Evening Bee.
"Isn't, It Jolly, thought" beamed an
other. '"Wish 'we had more to sell,
and J hope the poor Titanic ..sufferers
derive aa much comfort from the pro
ceeds as we do In happiness," she con
tinued In more sympathetic and seri
ous tone. .
The girls Misses Florede, Lynn and
Allen are playing during the week at
the Oayety theater, and every afternoon
at the conclusion of the matinee they
station themselves In the theater- lobby
telling papers to help the steerage sur
vivors. They nave been out two afternoons this
. week and will go forth again this and to
morrow afternoons. On each of the pre
vious dsys they have sold every paper
allotted to them and have already taken
tn 328.64. They hope to raise the fund
to $100 by the end of the week. :
All the money from the sales will be
turned in to The Bee at the close of the
Week, and In turn It will be forwarded
to New York to be applied to the Titanic
Steerage passenger fund.

Our ability to save you money is as indisputable as the result of correct figur
ing. It's a basic business law that any manufacturer can afford to lower his
prices in proportion to the largeness of his order. It's because we give the
makers bigger orders than other Omaha stores do that we get the lowest prices.
Because of this one fact we do undersell. No other Omaha store can show you
such value as we are offering in our lines at

South Omaha Is to he a city beautiful if
the plans of Mayor Hoctor do not mis
carry. To this end his honor has Issued
a proclamation setting aside Saturday,
April 17. as a general housecleanlng day
throughout the city.
Besldea the general proclamation which
was sent out yesterday. Mayor Tom took
the school teachers and through them the
children of the schools Into bis confi
dence. His honor in a special letter to
each teacher and the room under her con
trol tells the children ot the city why hs
needs their help In making South Omaha
clean and beautiful.
The letters and proclamation ot his
honor makes the new departure a neces
sity from a hygienic point of view. The
children and people of the city generally
are asked to take the matter seriously
and aid In making the town clean and
healthful, not to say beautiful. It is
known that at present in certain sections
of the city filth and dirt has sccumu
lated to such a degree as makes possible
an epidemic later in the summer unless
the cause Is now removed.
From the contents of the letter sent to
the school teachers the mayor evidently
depends a great deal upon the school
department for carrying out his plans.
Hs tells the children to talk about the
cleanup day to their parents.
"We want the help ot the children."
concludes the letter, "and we want you to
remember the time, talk about It, plan
for It, work to that end and clean up
South Omaha.'
Tha proclamation follows:
The time-honored maxim. "Cleanliness
Is Next to Godliness," is suggestive, at
least, of the influence of cleanliness from
a moral standpoint as well as a sanitary
standpoint.
The coming of spring, when nature ex
erts every effort for health and life and
beauty, ought to inspire a sentiment of
cleanliness and a kindred impulse In
every buman heart. A eity clean In Its
physical aspects Is a moral uplift as well
and our city ought to be physically clean,
preparatory to a higher work. As mayor
of the city I therefor respectfully re
quest the dtlsens of South .Omaha to
unite tn an effort to free the city, both
Its streets and alleys as well as the yards
of Its home-owners and cocu pants, from
all refuse, garbage, filth and all waste
matter that either mars the beauty of
the city or menaces the public health.
Let us make a united effort for a cleaner
couth Omaha and beginning on the 37th
day of April, 1912, let the dtlsens ot
South Omaha remove, burn and destroy
sil garbage and refuse from streets and
premises and je.n with nature tn a gen
eral cleaning bp In the spring season.

During the meal an orchestra discoursed
sweet music sod the evening passed off
most enjoyably.
Mayor Hoctor was guest of honor, and
told of hla pride in toe bowling prowess
of the Magic City. His honor spoke
glowingly of the legitimate pleasure that
lies In clean, manly sport. He concluded
his speech with some humorous refer
ences. Other speakers In turn recounted
the great deeds of the South Omaha
bowlers and prophesied greater things
for the future.

during her reign and her execution in
