To Petition City
to Out Down Hump
Now On Seventeenth
Various property owners on Seventeenth
street between Jackson and Leavenworth
are ctroulaUna; a petition seeking- to have
the Seventeenth street along that strip
graded down. This street has been little
traveled because there is a hump or hill
Just north of Leavenworth, and then a
steep Incline down to Jackson that make
this an vnderslrable stretch to travel.
George sV Co., are active In the elrculat
tlon of the petition, and W. T. Graham
la also circulating a petition for the same
grade. Oeorge A Co., own vacant property
at the corner of Seventeenth and Jack
son streets.
It Is also pointed out that since tne
Castle hotel Is to be enlarged and la to
extend through the block to Seventeenth
street, It will be a great advantage to
this hotel In having a Seventeenth street
front, to have the street brought to a
proper grade.
Blue print charts are accompanying the
petition to show the extent of the hill
It is proposed to cut down. About eight
or ten feet will have to be cut at the
crest of the hill.
Sixty per cent of the property owners
must sign the petition before it can go
through. Mr. Graham estimates that 90
per cent of the property owners have al
ready signal.

MANUFACTURERS TO
MAKE MANY GIFTS
Wide Variety of Omaha-Made Prod
ucts Will Be Presented to the
Guests at Sinner.
ANNUAL BANQUET THURSDAY
Some man will wear a brand new
Omaha-made hat after Thursday of
tbla week, and some one will fan
ms nose next summer with an'
Omaha-made electric fan, all wlth-j
out costing a cent. Some one will
nate eight kegs of white lead, made
In Omaha, and some one else will
nave a half dozen men's fine shirts.
Whence comes this shower of
utilities at no cost whatever?
Why, the Omaha manufacturers
are to hare their day of liberality.
They are to have their annual ban
quet at the Commercial club rooms
Thursday evening of this week. On
this annual occasion these fellows
open their factory doors and haul
out a lot of good Omaha-made prod
ucts with which to fill up the ban
quet board for the evening.
Then they haul out a lot more of
good things, made to eat, made to
wear, or made to use, and hare them
delivered at the Commercial club
rooms. Tes, the rooms look like the
store rooms of a vast department
tore when the manufacturers get
through delivering.
These things are then given away as
prises during the evening's entertain
ment. More Than a Free Lunch.
So the cold storage companies give any
thing from live turkeys to cases of eggs.
The pickle companies give cesea of
pickles. Breweries give away cases of
beer, the laundries give away a few
weeks or a month of free laundry serv
ice and the Ice companies dish up Ice
coupon books.
Oh, it Is a great night, for one never
knows whether he will have a clgaret
case to carry home as a prtxe or a
quarter of beef from the packing house.
One never knows whether he can take
his prise home In his vest pocket or
whether he will have to hire aa auto
truck.
More than sixty manufacturing firms
of Omaha already have offered their
wares for this big game of give-away.
An equal number have offered products
for the table to be served at the ban
quet Guests will not know until the
serving begins whether they are to have
six courses or sixty-sir. .

WILL REJECT BIDS
ON FIRE APPARATUS
Commissioner Kneel Returns and
Presents Resolution Which
Wins Officials' Favor.
SPECIFICATIONS TO BE MADE
City Commissioner Kugel re
turned to his desk, after an absence
of four weeks In the west, and faced
the situation of holding the key to
deadlock la the city council over
the purchase of fire apparatus. He
turned the key and presented to his
associates a resolution which directs
that all bids received for purchase
bt fire apparatus be rejected and
new bids advertised. All except
Mayor Dahlman in committee of the
whole supported the resolution,
which will be formally presented at
the council meeting Tuesday morn
irr. This action carries with It the croDOMl
that the superintendent of the fire de
partment shall present to the council for
approval specifications for fire apparatus
to be purchased, before the second bids
shall be advertised.
Weald BUsslaate CosasnlssloBs.
Commissioner Kugei contended that the
city should be able to purchase direct
from factories without being required to
pay commissions to local agents. Com
missioner Butler maintained the cltv
should have specifications of what kind
of apparatus is desired. He said that
buying eleven cars now for 15,000 each,
as was proposed last week, would be
equivalent to setting a price for future
years If the city standardises the fire
motor apparatus.
Superintendent Wlthnell of the fire de
partment did not oppose the rejection or
the first lot of bids.
School Children
to Be Sent Home if
Temperature Up
Dr. E. Holovtchlner of ths Board of
Education haa issued Instructions to the
principals of the schools in the use of
fever thermometers whloh are to be used
In connection with the medical Inspec
tion of schools.
It is suggested, more In Jest than in
seriousness, that it behooves boys snd
girls not to get their "choler up" lest the
fever thermometer register more than
9S.S. It will serve ths youngsters to be
aa "cool as a cucumber."
The plan to be followed will be: If a
teacher suspects a child of being 111, the
child will be sent to the principal, who,
wilt apply the thermometer. A tempera
ture of 99.8 will be taken to Indicate a
feverish condition and the child will be
sent home for further examination or
observation. Probably oae of the school
nurses will visit the home, unless the
parents prefer their family physician.

To Intending Buyers:
When we arranged to offer the new Eleventh edition
of The Encyclopaedia Britannica in a "Handy Volume"
issue at an amazing reduction in tho price, we naturally
anticipated an enormous sale.
We contracted with the publishers that when w
started our advertising early in January, they would have
completed and ready, 50,000 gets, printed on the same
grade of India paper as the higher-priced Cambridge Uni
versify issue.
We believed that this enormous order of 50,000 sets
a total of 1,450,000 volumeii would suffice for the year
of 1916.
We began our advertising in the newspapers of the
country on January 10-14. The orders, which began at
the rate of 40 or 50 a day, quickly rose to nearly 700 per
day, and by the time this notice can be printed will prob
ably be'l.OOO per day.
We therefore advise you that very
soon probably every set will be sold
which the publishers can now deliver
to us, and that In a short time further
orders will have to go upon a waiting
list.
We strongly advise anyone who
does not wish to wait a long time for his
set to send his order at once.
Even if you do not wish to havo the set delivered
until next December, as a Christmas gift, we suggest that
in order to make sure of getting the books just when you
want them, you send ns the dollar now so that a set can
bo reserved for you.
If you wish to pay cash in full when delivery is made,
we will give you the full cash discount at that time. If
you wish to buy the books on the monthly payment plan,
