THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: DECEMBER 7, 1913, 5-A PREFERS SHEEP TO THEATERS I". M. Crawford, New Manager of the Brandcis, Has a Hobby. RAISES LAMBS FOR THEIR FURS Thrntrr-nnncher Say that -While th Present Season Has Been Slow Vp to Date, lis Kxpecis Fall Date nook Soon. Ttalslng Imported Karakul sheep for the valuable Persian lamb, Aitrakan and Krlmmer furs they produce. Is the Inter esting "hobby" of U M. Crawford, one t the new managers of the Brandels theater. He was In Omaha yesterday to confer with P. O. Zohrung, his partner In tho theater business, but at the Henshaw yesterday lie wan more willing to dis play samples of the valuable furs and tell of his recent sale of sheep at over $1,000 each, than to discuss his plans for the future of the local theater, of which he has Just secured control. Negotiations are now being made for one of tho latest successful musical shows to play at the Brandels at Christ mas time, he stated, but refused to di vulge details of the engagement until It Is positively booked by his New Tork manager. Seven ewes and three rams of the famous Karakul nnlmals were recently shipped to Nova Scotia by Mr. Crawford at a prico of H0.S00 for the lot He has a largo ranch at Cottonwood Falls, Kan., here experiments have recently been made In fur production that set the whole country to thinking. The Country Gentleman, a weekly farm publication, devoted a page and a half Illustrated artlclo to Mr. Crawford's ranch hobby and the things It had ac complished In producing expensive fur right here at home, whereas all such fur had previously been Imported from Asia. He has thirty-three full-blooded Karakul sheep, over SOO half-bloods and about WO native sheep on the "fur farm" of 1,900 acres. "Just at present there Is more money In fur growing than In theatrical man agement," the theater-rancher explains. He says that he present theatrical season is one of the slowest ho has ever experi enced, but that he expects to have a. full date book for the Brandels before long. "I am" glad to get control of the Brandels, with my partner, Mr. Zehrung of Lincoln," Mr. -Crawford says. "Years ago I had theater fires In Topeka, Kan sas City. Fort Worth, Salt Lake City and Omaha, but I know that thero can bo no fire In such a modern fireproof house as the Brandels."

The evidence submitted resulted In Gal lagher's being bound over to the district court with bonds fixed at 2,000.

The fair thin year promise to bo larger than ever a twenty-eight churches havo Joined and the fair will last full two weeks. Tho fair Is going to be n bit more than just a plain fair this year. It Is to bo a bazar In tho fullest sense of tho word. Tho word bazar conveys an Impression of something oriental, something entirely different from ordinary stores, and that Is Just why tho term Is used. The women of the church will decorate tho cntiro court, tho tables, the walls ana the aquarium with gay bunting and pictures, whlloi fancy worlc, embroidery and bric-a-brnc, which will bo on sale, will bo posted up so that It will add to tho attractiveness of tho fair, Tho women themselves will bo behind tho counters ready to serve any and all cus tomers and promlso that prompt atten tion and service will bo ono of tho ad vantages of shopping at the church fair Instead of at the crowded stores. Beautiful linen pieces, useful and orna mental, embroidery work, serviceable wearing apparel, art goods, and hrlc-a-brae, aa well as delicious pies, "tho kind that mother used to make," cakes, doughnuts, which, which aro guaran teed not to cause Indigestion, homc-mado candles and every other Imaginable eat able for which tho mouth of tho populace waters. Kverythlng will be mado within tho homes of the women and they will also sell each and every piece themselves. Kverythlng sold on tho counter will bo made at home In Just as careful a man ner as If they were mado for uso In tho home In which they were mado. Nothing will bo purchased from stores and then sold at tho fair. Money for Church Fund. All tho money realized from the sale of the articles at tho bazar will go Into the churchfunds and will bo used to holp de fray tlio expenses of the churches. No one Individual connected with the fair de rives any payment for her labor except the satisfaction sho Is sure to dertvo by helping to further and promote the glor ious and noblo work of tho church. Four churches will sell at the tamo tlmo and the total number In tho com pact Is twenty-eight, while tho number of days Is limited to fourteen. Therefore, It was decided to allow four churches to sell two days. Each church then Is given two days In which to sell their articles. Kach church has elected a committee, to make all arrangements and each com mittee has elected a chairman to super intend tho efforts of the workers. Women Prepare Article. The women havo spent considerable time during the lost month preparing things that will make suitablo Christ mas presents, and starting yesterday, an onslaught waa made on the baking pro fession because tho supply of doughnuts. Pies, cokes and other pastries were made so that a supply would bo on hnml bright and early, tomorow morning. In previous years tho church fairs have been exceedingly successful. Nearly everything that was placed on sale was anapped up by the eager public and the only regrettable occurrences were that t) supply of articles generally ran out well before tho conclusion of tho sale. This year the salo Is expected to be big ger and better thnn over and moro ar ticles will be exhibited than In other years. Tho churches expect to rcallzo a considerable sum even though four churches aro compelled to sell at tho amo time. Churches nnil Chairmen. All SalntB', Clara II. - Thomas: Tcarl Memorial M.

Exports to tho United States last year amounted to fl9,M8,SS and wre 37 per cent of tho total as compared with ii per cent In 1912. Sugar shipments, which were the leading factor In this decline, show a falling oft approximating S,000,COO In value. Steady and encouraging progress vraa made during tho year In education; es pecially In tho higher Btandunl of Instruc tion In English; In the better school buildings and grounds; In the sounder basts on which Industrial Instruction has been organized, In the further and very marked Improvement In the American and Filipino personnel of the bureau; In tho efficiency ot the administrative side of tho work and In the physical train ing of tho pupils. Teachers from tho United States have boeri, almost without exception, of excellent preparation and with the improvement In the quality of American teachers, that of tho Filipino teachers has kept pace. The latter have been asMgticd to positions of greater re sponsibility nnd now 115 are serving as supervising and assistant supervising teachers, which number does not Include twenty-ono Filipino Industrial supervis ors. In view of the complete organization of tho Phlllpplno university with all of It colleges, tho policy of sending Filipino students to tho United States In large nuniucra for their undorgraduate work Is being discontinued and provision has been made for tho appointment of a limited number of fellows, who have completed their undergraduate work to take two to four-year post graduate courses In Eu rope and America.
