USING LIGHTS TO CUT ICE
Packers Are Working Men in Shifts
Twenty-Four Hours a Day.
ALL WORK IS BEING RUSHED
tlrt CnHltiK on , the Ilmervolm
Shonld n Completed lir Thur
tiny 'lnhl Forced Then
Move to Cnrter Lake.
At Memphis and Ashlnnd, where the
Armour and Swift packlnK cominnle aro
liarvetlng Ice. electric light plants have
been Installed and the cutting and pack
ing goes on constantly. There Is no letup
and the mon are worked In shifts, so
that the harvest continues each hour out
of every twenty-four.
At Seymour lake a light plant that has
been Installed makes the surface of the
lake as brlltlnnt at night as during tho
day and. the harvest continues without
any letup.
Tho Cfmaha Ice and Cold Stbrngo com
pany will have finished the first cutting
o.f the reservoirs by this evening and
will at that time have secured about onu
half of the required quantity to fill (he
houses. At the offices of the company
thero Is some doubt expressed about get
ting a second cutting unless tho weather
should turn unusually cold and continue
so for several days. However, the men
now at work will bo transferred to Carter
lake, where an Immense number will be
employed for ten days or two weeks In
the event of freezing weather con
tinuing. One or two companies are cutting on
Carter lake and they are getting eight to
ten-Inch ice. The Omaha, however, will
not start on this sheet of water until
cutting on the reservoirs has been fin
ished. Tho fields have been marked, and
when cutting does begin It will lie pushed
rapidly, as many men being worked as
can be used to advantage.
Workman Ignores
Sacred Precincts
of Anti-Saloonists
Never again can It be said that no
liquor Is ever consumed at tho Omaha
headquarters of the Anti-Saloon league.
No, ther.e Is no real scandal connected
with It, either. U happened when Dis
trict Superintendent K. A. High was out
of th office, and maybe out of tho city.
Sitting on tho floor In tho corner of the
headquarters room, JO Omaha National
bank building, was a -workman in blue
overalls hammering, pounding and cut
ting. He was placing a coat of asbestos
on the pipes leading to the radiators. In
stepped a caller who wanted to sco Su
perintendent High on Antl-Salonn league
business. The superintendent's desk was
locked. To the workman sweating down
in the corner the visitor failed cheerily:
'Well, this don't look like Antl-tJaloon
league thin morning."
"What?" cried the astonished workman .
and he looked sheepishly.
"I oy, Where's tho big squeeze of tlin
Place todayr
"Oh-why oh," stammered the work
man. "I thought you said something
about a saloon. I think I could dig up
a little drink for you. I just finished a
bottle here a few minutes ago. If yoi,
really want somo I think I can dig ul
a bit."
And he began to fumble beneath tits
heavy folds of the canvas he had spread
on the floor to catch the asbestos chips.
"No, thank you," sold the visitor, and
he stole-, quietly out, leaving tho work
man In Ignorance of tho sanctity of the
environment in which ho was working.
Railroad Magnate
and Mine Owner
Sees Better Times
D. C Jackllng, railroad mognato and
tuiiio owner of Utah, was In Omaha nn
hour or so enroule home to Salt Lako
.City from the east. He came in over tho
Hock Island and left in his privato car,
which was attached to Union 1'aUfts
train No. 9.
While here Sir. Jackllng took occasion
lo remark that thero Is nothing wrong
with the country, and that Indications
are that it is about to enter upon an era
or prosperity that ought to continue for
a long time. Mr. Jackllng goes not expect
to see the country do any wildcat boom
ing, but' he expects to see the west and
central west enter upon a period of sub
tanUat development, especially the ag
ricultural and horticultural sections. In
.the matter of railroad building, for a
tl.mo at least, he dots not anticipate any
great number of extensions or new lines,
but feels that they will come as rapidly
as they are really demanded.

Moss Family Makes
Statement of Case of
Their Little Son
The following signed statement was
brought to Tho Ileo office from the
family of Daniel A. Moss, which was
charged with settling with tho Missouri
Pacific nollroad company for tho loss
of a leg by tho son, Italph Moss, so that
the lad might not continue his suit
agnlnst the company. The statement Is
signed by Daniel A. Moss and Mario
Moss, father and mother of tho lads
"Ilegardlng your article about Dr. Con
nell getting us to sign away Italph Moss'
right to sue so that he might be paid for
his services, that Is absolutely false. Dr.
Conncll has been our physician for fif
teen years and never during that time
did he even render us a bill. Ho has
operated on Mr. Moss for appendicitis,
also on Mrs. Moss, cared for our other
son for six months and has taken care
of Italph since he was a baby. Italph Is
named nfter him.
"When Italph was hurt Dr. Connell
went to seo n lawyer, Intending to have
suit brought against tho railroad, but he
.vas advised by his brother. Attorney W.
J. Connell, that there was no ground for
n suit, and it would bo better to com
promise without a lawyer's services. Tho
attorney for tho railroad, however, was
willing to compromise, saying Juries often
gavo tho corporations tho worst of It at
tho trial, rcgardlcrs of tho merits.
"Dr. Conncll's fee In this capo was
more than reasonable and less than wo
expected, ns It Included the fees of Dr.
Allison nnd Dr. Harris, who assisted him,
Wo are perfectly satisfied with Dr. Con
nell and with tho settlement we made,
nnd wo have not approved the opening
of the case In tho courts.
"In closing It Is only fair to say that
Dr. Connell, In the fifteen years ho has
served as our family physician, has been
more than reasonable in his charges, nnd
wo know ho would never do what the
lawyer, Donovan, says he did. Wo have
perfect confidence In him, nnd In his
professional skill nnd honor, and we set
ttod tho law suit ot our own accord and
without uny Influence of Dr. Conncll or
nnyono else."

VIRGIL RECTOR SHOWS
STRONG AT DARTMOUTH
Virgil Hector, a graduate of tho Omaha
High school In 1912 and star player on tho
High school's foot ball, basket ball und
track teams, has earned n permanent
position on the basket bull team at
Dartmouth, whero ho is attending school.
Hector plays the running guard on the
team and from accounts ot tho few
games played so far this year, he has'
been the one. bright particular star ot a
mediocre team.
The eastern basket ball game Is a bit-
different from that played In the went.-
There more emphasis Is placed on guard
ing tho opposite man as tightly as possi
ble. Against Pennsylvania last Saturday,
when Dartmouth was beaten, Hector did
not permit tho forward pluylng opposite)
hint to mako a single basket, and he.
found tlmo to make two baskets himself
Hector did not make a Job on tho foot
ball squad last fall, but Dartmouth had
one ot the best teams In history at thut?
time. Next year his Omaha friends are
more sanguine ot his success.
Thero seems to bo little doubt but what
ho will be a member of the track team.
Ills pole vaulting when he was In the
High school was wonderful, as he
reached eleven feet six consistently. Un
der efficient coaching ho should develop
Into a record breaking polo vaulter.

TO HAVE NINE DIRECTORS
These Are to He Seierteil from 'lne
of the I.rnilltifr OrKnnUntlonn of ,

Line or KmleaYor. .
If bonds for tho purchase of the Audi
torium are voted at tho special election
March 10, the city commission will have
ready a plan for managing tho building.
At a speclnl meeting of the council a
resolution was passed declaring that In
caso tho Auditorium was purchased its
management should bo placed in tho
hands of a board of nine directors chosen
from tho following organisations: Com
mercial club, Heal Estate exchange, Cen
tral Labor union, Manufacturers associa
tion, Heiallcrs' association. Jobbers' asso
ciation, Federated Improvement clubs,
city council, the publicity bureau.
This plan of managing the building met
with the unanimous approval of the city,
commission. It Is the opinion 6f the com-,
mlssloners that this board of directors,
representing alt Interests and all lines of
endeavor, would best represent the peo
ple, who would be the owners of tho
Auditorium. 1
Commissioner "J. J. Hyder, who made,
a special investigation ofho Auditorium
directors' offer to sell the building for
J225,0(X', believes that In time the building
may becomo self-sustaining. The bond
Issue calls for JKO.OOO, the extra $25,000 to
bo used for necessary repairs nnd maintenance.
MANY STREET LAMPS ARE

A considerable force of men has been
used by tho gas commissioner during tho

lamps. Assistant Gas Commissioner
"Duck" Taylor said as many as zoo lamps
had . been frozen during the last cold
epell.
TREES CUT DOWN TO GIVE
BETTER VIEW OF NEW SIGN
A number of fine old trees In the
grounds of the First Presbyterian church,
Seventeenth and Dodge streets, havo
been cut down In order to remove ob
structions to a view of the large elec
tric sign hung on the church last week.
It Is explained that the trees would not
have been sacrificed If the church
planned to remain at thnt location per
manently. It will occupy a new struc
ture soon, however, and .the entire
grounds at tho old location would bo
cleared then, to make room for some
business block that wilt eventually bo
built there.

Dietetic Value of Beer
From a German Medical Opinion
The intoxicating action of beer is very much lets than that of
wine and whiskey; and as it gradually tends to suppress the use of
the latter, it accomplishes a high mission in the history of civiliza
tion. The intoxicating action of the small quantity of alcohol (in beer)
is neutralized by the carbonic acid and the malt extract. Hops in
small quantities stimulates the appetite and promotes evacuation,
(or acts as a laxative.) Beer is very nutritious when consumed with
meat, cheese and bread and it is greatly undervalued as
promoting health and robustness. DR. KIRBACH
