Success of Chicken
Show Insures One
During Next Year
At a meeting of the Greater Omaha
Poultry Fanciers' association last even
ing tsj the ' court house, it was agreed
to hold another poultry show next yesr
In the Auditorium, during Thanksgiving
week.
The success of the recent second annual
show heartened the members of the as
sociation to put forth efforts to hold the
state show here next year, this show
receiving an appropriation from the state
and being of such magnitude as to at
tract many more exhibitors than were at
the recent show.
If next year's Show proves to be as
successful as the members believe it will
be. then It is proposed to hold a mid
west show In Omaha during the fall
of 1317.
The financial report of the recent show
showed that the association came out
a little better than ever, although It was
explained that the show primarily was
not a money-making project from the
box-office point of view.

When a cold hangs on, as often hap
pens, or when you have hardly gotten
over one cold before you contract another,
look out, for you are liable to contract
some vt-ry serious disease. This succession
of colds weakens the system and lowers
the vitality so that you are much more lia
ble to contract chronic catarrh, pneumonia
or consumption. Cure your cold while
you can. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy

KIDDIES TELL OLD
HICK THEIR WANTS
Santa Claus Takes Notei When Boy.
and Girls Tell Him Their
Desires.
CROWDS SEE REINDEER MAN
These are busy days for Santa
! Claus.
After eleven months spent in the
workshop up at the North Pole mak
ing toys and keeping the reindeers in
good shape, it's quite a change to
come to Omaha and spend your
time In Toyland where the children
are trooping Joyously through all
day long.
But Santa Claus likes it. Bless
you, of course he does. And he has
a cheery word for every little child
that comes to shake hands with
him. He has more than that. At one
Omaha department store he began
yesterday giving away a box of
candy to every youngster who came
to see him.
The way that news spread through
Boy and Girl Land made Paul Revere
look like a crosstown street car. tn Just
a Jiffy after the candy-giving had been
discovered by a few early birds it was
all over town.
Came I. Ilea n Flood.
From all directions the flood of kids
came. The Pled Piper of Hamlin crowd
was a mere handful compared to this
Juvenile armr.
They stormed the doors. The railing In
front of Santa Claus' cotton-snow cov
ered house was soon a Jam of eager
youngsters. They filed past all day, each
being presented with a little box of
sweets. A couple of policemen had to be
called in the afternoon to help handle
the crowds.
The Santas in the other stores had a
busy days, too. One of them has a house
all his own with doors and windows and
everything. Inside there's a fireplace and
Santa sits on a big sofa. All about the
walls and on the floor and mantleplece
are toys, toys, toys.
The stream of children goes In the front
door and out the side. My, my. It doesn't
seem there could be so many children
In Omaha! Big and little. Boys in sweat
ers and with holes in their stockings
and boys in fur coats and Eton collars.
Girls, rich and poor. In the hearts of
all beats eagerness and love for good
old Saint Nick.
And such a Jolly old soul as he is!
In his red suit bordered with white fur
and his white whiskers and white hair
and with his Jolly laugh and kindly
Inquiry as to what each youngster wants,
why, he's Just grand.
"Ha, ha, ha," laughs Santa as the
kids stream In and he shakes their
eager hands and now and then pats one
on the head. "Ha, ha, ha, I am so glad
to see such nice little boys and girls.
Come right in, don't push. This is my
busy day. Saturdays I'm always busiest.
You must come sometimes anoder day.
Then we sit down and have a nice long
talk. Saturdays I can't talk so long. It's
my busy day."
A little boy Is stopping after his hand
shake. Ills face is serious and determined.
He has evidently given long and serious
thought to this occasion.
"Sandy Claws, I want either a tricycle
or a bicycle for Christmas," he says.
"All right, my boy, all right," says
Santa, "I vlll remember It." And then
as the boy la nearly out the door Santa
calls after htm as though not quite sure,
"A tricycle or a bicycle?" and the boy
nods his head vigorously.
And so the stream continues. A young
ster fishes back. He has forgotten some
thing. "I forgot to tell you, Santy Claws, my
little brother wants a drum. He couldn't
come today. His name is ."
Santa keeps a book and pencil, for there
are certain practical youths who believe
It is safest if Santa puts down the name
and address so as to be sure he doesn't
forget. "It's the next house to the cor
ner," some will say, and Santa writes
down, "next house to the corner" in
the bcok. No chance for him to go wrong
on such an oider.

Gayety Has Good
Show for Current
Week on Boards
Musical burlesque that Is realty musi
cal, because good singer are presenting
It, is offered at the Gayety for this
week's bill.
At the opening chorus Inst night, the
large company of principals and chorus
girls ably demonstrated that they can
sing.
Furthermore, the company Includes a
lot of i "good-ldokers,"' creates plenty of
fun, has the sparkle and snsp essential
to successful extravaganza, shows some
classy wardrobe and Is also "there"
with tho dancing.
As proof of the taugft-compelling quali
ties of tho show. It need only be said
that Inst night a young woman got to
laughing so hard at the fun that the fun
sters themselves had to stop and accept
the compliment until the hilarity
eased tip.
Will J. Kennedy heads the company.
He will be - remembered-for his comic
work in past -seasons as a rube sheriff
tho fellow who says. "I'm a gol durn
br-r-r-ave man, I am." The best thing
about his comedy Is that it Is clean cut
and distinctive. Kennedy Is still "com
ing," loo; he has appeared funnier each
season, and during a single performance,
his comedy seems to grow on the audi
ence, so that the longer he Is at it, the
better he becomes. Jack Miller also Is a
capable and popular comedian, and in a
specialty and also with Kennedy and
Harry Kelly, makes quite a hit. Harry
Evans is 'a little fellow, who excels at
freak dances.
Lynne Canter has one of the best female
voices heard at the Gayety this season,
such voices as hers are quite exceptional
In burlesque. Flo Davis Is a regular flash
of lightning as a soubrette, being both
clever and - gingery In both songs and
dances. Kilty Forsythe and Lottie Black
ford also are pleasing In solos. One of
the big hits of the show Is the Carnival
Four, a male quartet of tremendous
pulling power, consisting of Jack Witts,
Hilly Lynch, Charles and Andy Bmltn.

ARTESIAN WELLS FOR THE
PEOPLE OF ISLAND OF LEMN0S
(Corre.-p-ndcnce of The Associated Press.)
LONDON. Nov. lO.-When the first
British naval forces landed at Lemnos,
near the entrance of the Dardanelles,
they were surprised to find that the
Istnnd, which has an area of 200 square
m les and a population of Sn.ooo. was
practically destitute of drinking water,
except for uncertain supplies from a few
sum II springs. The allied troops were
supplied with mineral water sent In ship
loads through the generosity of a French
woman In Marseilles.
The British authorities promptly sent to
Canada for engineers, who are now en
gaged In sinking artsstan wells wh'ch
will guarantee the people of Lemnos a
reliable and abundant water supply.
A Scenario night There.
"The silent drama," sad little sister,
reading the dramatic notes. "What's the
silent drsma?"
"Aw," said brother, "that's when p
Is sneaking in from the club at 2 a, m.,
n his stocking feet with his shoes In
his rst d and ma Is waiting In the ria"k
U the top of the stairs ready to whale
him over the head with a curtain pole."
