Greeted With Applause.
He earned his audience with liiui
from the stait. When he and "Ma"
Sunday appealed on the pl.itt.'iiu the
applause and cheering lasted lor ncai
ly a minute.
"Hilly" wore a light smt. white
shoes, silk shirt and soft collar, lie
removed his coat and before he had
been peakitig ten strenuous minutes
his shirt was wringing wet. Once he
cooled his brow with handfuls of
water from the pitcher. Once he
smote the press table a mighty blow
within a hair's breadth of one of the
reporter's glasses.
The meeting began at 7 o'clock be
cause the Sundavs had to catch the
Overland Limited at o'clock for
Chicago. Sm3ll booklets of "dry"
campaign songs had been distributed
and Dean Smith led the singing of
"De Brewer's Rig Mosses," "Dry
Clean Nebraska" and other songs.
Thomas Hollister. one of the trail
hitters at the Meetings last fall, in
troduced Elmer Thomas, who pre
sented the financial side of the "dry"
campaign.
What His Service! Cost.
"Though Mr. Sunday has donated
his services in Nebraska, the two
day's speaking tour has cost about
$1,500," he said, "this including spe
cial train from North Platte to Grand
Island, rent of tents and auditoriums,
etc."
Collections were taken up in taber
nacle tin pans together with subscrip
tion cards for the campaign.
Mr. Hollister introduced Mr. Sun
day in about two sentences and
"Billy" jumped right into favor by
declaring:
"It's about as incongruous to intro
duce me to an Omaha audience as it
would be to sell a lawn mower to an
Esquimo or a horse blanket to a
Hottentot or to wear a lathing suit
to a funeral."
He asked the men in the back seats
whether they could hear him.
"This kind of buildings get my
goat," he chuckled. "They echo so.
That's why I always build my "wn
tabernacles to hold meetings in.
In Favor of Omaha.
"I am glad to help yon in your fight
against the liquor traffic, he said. 1

Hot Weather Boon
To Accessory Men
The recent hot spell has had its
effect on automohilnig and touring,
as is shown by the large increase ill
the sale of replacement parts, tires
and accesMiries.
Mr. tilasson of the Omaha Auto
Supply company, has had his force
working overtime ever since the be
ginning of the hot weather, and says
that another hot spell will mean the
exhaustion of stock of many items
necessary to the maintenance of the
auto.
"(.fur stock at the beginning of the
seasoti was heavy," says Mr.-tilasson.
"and we were prepared for a good
lively business, but we have turned
that stock now from three to tour
times and it is harder to replace each
time. Many of the factories arc ex
periencing labor troubles, sonic hav
ing shut down for several weeks on
account of strikes. Many iron and
steel products arc sixty to ninety
days behind on deliveries, owing to
inability to secure sufficient material,
and toolmakers alt over the country
are four to eight months behind. The
Michelin tire factories are running
two nine-hour shifts and are still un
able to keep up with the ever-increasing
demand."
"On the whole," says Mr. Glasson,
"the hot weather has meant much to
the tire and accessory dealer every
where, and with a reasonable fall sea
son we will close the largest and most
profitable year in the history of our
Io cities in this country Have any
thing on Omaha and Kansas City for
prosperity and for prospects of great
growth and development."
Then he launched into a great mass
of figures. He declared that the
money spent annually in tins country
for liquor would build six Panama
canals, would make a pile of f-'O gold
pieces 136 miles high, a row of silver
dotlars trom New lorK to ;an fran
Cisco and back to Salt Lake. He I city.
scored the ministers who do not tight
the traffic. "The church has been a
mighty weak sister in this light," he
said.
He began speaking at 7:20 and
brought his address to a sudden close
at 8:35 with a prayer of only two
sentences. This was the only prayer
offered during the meeting.
Two minutes later the Sundays
were in the limousine and a few min
utes more brought them to their
drawing room in the train with their
two sons, "Hilly" Jr. and Caul, the
latter of whom had his tonsils and
adenoids removed at the Methodist
hospital earlier in the day but was
able to journey on with his parents.
There was no crowd at the station,
only a few of the "dry" leaders and
workers.
Only a half a dozen ministers were
at the meeting last night for the
reason that the ministers as well as
other "drys" had been asked to re
main way so as to leave seats for as
many as possible who might be con
verted to the "dry" side.
AU Will Vote Dry.
At the end of his address "Billy"
asked every man in the audience who
would vote "dry" to rise. And with
a shout nearly every man rose.
Bishop Homer C. Stunt, successor
to Bishop Bristol in Omaha, was
among those on the platform. None
of the city commissioners were pres
ent, though the "welcome arch" bore
the name of Billy Sunday
Ak-Sar-Ben Means

It is the means ol impressing

ot the importance ot Omaha as a
distributing center. It acquaints
them with the facilities for giving
factory service in the matter of ad

most every distributer in Omaha is
virtually a lactory representative.
"Ak-Sar-lUMi is a big thing for the
merchants, the hotels and every line
of husiness and above all it gives
Omaha and Nebraska wide publicity.
Kvcry man, woman and child iu the

pride or local interest, should enter
into the spirit of Ak-Sar-Hen with
much enthusiasm. Hoost it."

Colonel Has Story to

Some people who think they know
so much about the weather remind
Colonel Welsh of an old man be. used
to know when he was a boy back in
Ohio.
"He bad a lot of infonnalion." savs
the colonel, "but most of it was
wrong, or, at any rate, unprovable. I
remember lie told me once about the
Rocky mountains and the Andes.
"'Them two mountains both be

said.
"'Hut,' I said, 'how do you know?

Street Car Men and
Families on Picnic
Employes of the Omaha and Coun
cil it luffs Street Railway company and
their families are enjoying a picnic
at Lake Manawa today.
Karly this morning the street car
men and their families met on Burt
street, between Twenty-second and
Twentieth, where fifteen special ears
lined up for the trip to the lake re
sort. Half a dozen of the cars were
decorated hy the street car men and
a p t i7c was awarded to the most
strikingly decorated car. A Council
Bluffs car met with the ' unanimous
approval of the judges.
About 800 went to ihe picnic
grounds on the special cars and a
number more went over on regular
cars later in the dav.
