BEST OUTLOOK EE'S ETEE SEEN
Something of a -stir was caased in
e city hall when, at the dote of the
egular meeting of the city council
ommittee of the whole. Mayor Dahl-
man and the commissioners an
nounced Individually that the absence
of any city employe physically able to
walk in, the .patriotic parade to
day will mean dismissal from ' the
city's service. ." :
I The upshot ot this was a report of
City Abstracter Hartley to the mayor
that Superintendent Schreiber of the
.Welfare hoard expressed a disinclina
tion to march. Mr. Hartley bad been
directed by the mayor to advise, all
'employes of the -public affairs depart
ment that' they .would be expected to
appear in the parade, exceptions being
made for illness, physical disability or
.other reasonable excuses.
"This is a civic affair, and I want to
'state that anybody in my department
(who does not appear in the parade
need not expect to draw any more sal
arj' from the city, providing he or she
(is able -to walk, , announced the
mayor. Then the other commission-
i era acquiesced in that position. ,
I . ' v" Doesn't Care for Parades. -.
I Mr. Schreiber, asked for an expres-
aion, said: "I don't think! shall walk
in this parade. I. don't, go much on
forced patriotism. I don't think any
body should question my, patriotism
if I do not' walk mthe parade.- At
: college I never did care tor parades.
I don't like, the idea ot marching
along with everybody looking at me'
j Commissioner 'Jardine, ' who Is to
be marshal of the city hall section of
the nararle. called a - meeting of the
I city hall women.' The following at
tended: Maude Davies. Bertha Lech'
novsky, Blanche Manning, Lulu Me
Grier, Susie' Peasinger, Xatherine
I Nolan, Nena Starr, Naomi" Schenck,
Florence Hoye, Bessie wiison ana
Mary Diamond. Mr. Jardine ex
plained that it was the wish of the
commissioners that all city employes
should march. This did not meet
with a unanimous 'response. Miss
Peasinger suggested that it would be
nice for all of the citv hall women to
stand in front of the city ball and sing
patrotic number wniie tne paraae
went by. . V r
"Every Woman Should Walk."
Miss Darles aid: "I think every
woman should walk.- I don't think
the city hall women should play off
sick just to get out of the parade."
Miss Malone, the mayor's secre
tary, will carry a flag. .
After the meeting of the city coun
cil the attitude of the commissioners
was quickly passed around the mu
nicipal building and every daughter
of Eve nodded assent when asked if
she would walk in the parade.
"Why, of course, I am going to
walk. I'm ust crazy to march in this
ramie. And. tust think, they are hx
ing up cute little canes with ribbons
ia Mr. Jardine's office. I think it will
be just too lovely for any use," replied
one young woman who had not been
quite so enthusiastic Deiore tne meet'
ino? nf the citv council. "
It is not believed that , a-"Help
Wanted", sign will be posted on the
city hall Thursday morning.
It will be the first parade for the
majority oi the city hall women.
I Fifty girls from the Van Sant
school will distribute 75.000 conies of
! the songs which will be sung by the
; marchers and the populace along the
route. .
General Manager Walters of the
Northwestern is back from a trip
over the company lines in Nebraska,
and is most enthusiastic over the out
look for a bumper crop.
"During my residence in Nebraska
have never seen anything that ap
proaches it," Mr. Walters . declared.
it doesn t seem as it there is any
thing that can orevent a bumper crop
of small grain. Wheat is beginning
to head and within thirty days harvest
will be in full blast all through the
South Platte country, with the section
to the north about ready for cutting.
Small grain is in splendid condition.
There are no poor spots, as is fre
quently the case. Everywhere the
grain seems to be in perfect condi
tion. ... i-
Corn is comintr on raoidlv. and the
farmers are busy in the fields cultivat
ing the large acreage. Generally they
have gone through their fields once,
and in many localities are going
through the second time. There is a
good acreage and with seasonable
weather, the crop should be enormous.
i ne hrst cutting of alfalfa, one of
the heaviest ever recorded, is mostly
in the stack and in good condition. In
every section, due to the seasonable
rams, the range is as sood as It could
possibly be and everything now looks
as ti wis is going to be another ban
ner year for the whole of Nebraska."
Grain Exchange

. In Flag Parade
There will be a short session of the
Omaha Grain exchange . this

Two hundred and fifty members and
emoloves of the exchange have signed
up to march and it is expected that
this number will be increased by
another 100. Those 'going 'into the
parade will- meet at the Exchange
building at 2 o'clock. S. P. Mason
has been elected marshal. '' ' .

MANY ABE SEEKING; COLORADO
Where are you going on your va

That's a very popular question now
adays. And a very important one.
Plenty of wise people make the
problem easy by just reading the ad
vertisements in The Bee. For,- the
best vacation trips, the best resorts
to visit, the best hotels to patronize
are advertised, just as the best of sll
things that are bought by the public
are advertised, in first-class news
papers and magazines?
Many are planning to go to the
Minnesota lakes. . It is a state full of
beauty, the "state of ten thousand
lakes it has been called. The Chicago
breat Western- railroad reaches a
great many of these and carries thous
ands of people yearly to "The Land
of Hiawattia." .... , ,

When the oeonv show wis nn In
me rotunda ot tne court hmi. a
beautiful false fountain was placed
in the center, and surrounded with
blooms. The top was made of mir
ror so as to resemble water. . A "bird
bath" is what the Audubons called it.
On Monday afternoon, ... an old
woman with five children who had
been up to see wether or not the
county attorney could make her hus
band contribute ' something to her
family'a support, approached the bird
bath with a handkerchief and her
youngest son, whose face was very
dirty. When she tried to dip the
handkerchief into the "bath" she dis
covered that the affair was only a
working-model, and ; she became
wrathy as onlookers snickered. .
It's fine business the Dolice are in
to allow practical jokers to make
fools of poor people I" she blazed up,

"Any applicant must be a man who
would pass the. membership board of
any high-class club," he said. "The
men we are getting in are already
members of some of the best clubs
of Omaha, but they want a place

Colorado Popular.
Colorado, of course, will continue
to be an extremely popular summer
vscation ground for people in this
part of the country. This state ri
vals the world in natural scenic won
ders, which have the added advan
tage of easy accessibility from Colo
rado's metropolis, Dencver, which is
called "the gateway to nine national
parks."
To get to the Colorado country
there are several good lines of rail
road with several trains on each road
every1 day the Burlington, Rock Isl
and and Union Pacific. These trains
are elegant in their equipment and ap
pointments and speed over the dis
tance in something like fifteen hours.
You can go to sleep here and wake
up in Denver if you like. The round
trip rates for the summer are but
little more than the regular one-way
rate. Special trips can be taken also
from Omaha on which the ticket in
cludes automobile ticket to Rocky
Mountain National park or Estes
park.
