If F 11 If lll Wl ' r 1 r Lincoln Carnegie ZiZyAry nection is seen in the smaller homes the donor, although they perhaps Lincoln adds a family a day to its population, that is, it adds an aver age of four persons daily to its list of contented people. Lincoln is primarily a city of homes. Neither commercial striving nor the pursuit after learning has broken the home atmosphere there. This atmosphere is' apparent to the stranger within the gates at the cap ital city. Visitors there never", go back home without having noticed mat, and without having been re cipients of attentions, .there they would expect to nna in a city ot Hos pitality. . Socially Lincoln is a great de mocracy, there ar tin atratae thr The circle starts with the affairs of state, made possible by the location of the capital there, and' they' continue in little eddies beyond that, taking in here and there practically every family of the city. The churches contribute splendidly lo the social life. In number and ef fort they comprise an unusually large part of the city's affairs, and they reach out in their week-day activities in such a way as to give their mem bers the widest opportunities for advancement along social lines. The young people's societies form an adjunct of importance in this con nection and under the1 leadership of some of the most interesting young people's workers in the country carry on the work with good results. The Young Mens' Christiaa . Association and the Young Women' Christian Association aid in tin's line and with their spacious buildings at their com mand to draw young folks to them give impetus to the movement. Fraternal organizations stand high, too, in the list. The Kits with a large and well-arranged club, building lead in the affairs at present.. The Masons have been somewhat handicapped by cramped quarters, but , the erection of a huge elaborately equipped temple at Fifteenth and L streets forecasts a time here when the wearers of the square and compass and all their re- vjatives ana tne ladies ot the Eastern Star, will be well taken care of in this rospect. - -.- ' Other lodges, although ; having no buildings of their own, make up rfor the defect by the frequency; 'and suc cess with which they give social affairs. The growth of college fraternities ": from year to year, naturally raking : into membership a nuriibcr of men who make Lincoln their home,' has left alumni organizations of many of tnem ana tnis is also true with the sororities. All of these alumni or ganizations maintain a lively exist ence despite their separation from active college affairs. The Country club fills .a place the social life which was vacant for many years. It has grown percent' ibly during the past few years and is now one of the most popular places in or about Lincoln during the summer months, and late spring ' ana eariy iau. 1 ne country cluo has extended its grounds and its facili ties considerably since it began its existence, and now accommodates sev eral hundred at its home. During the university year, of course, Lincoln is more alive socially than during vacation. Affairs of that institution, while mostly removed from the world numbers of Lincoln people travel in, is still reached by V-iany hundreds, yes thousands of them, and there is a happy blending of the town and the gown in most of them. Former students and grad uates of the big institution live in Lincoln and suburbs and never get for enough away from their alma mater to forget to contribute to the college and semi-college functions for which it is responsible. The air of culture is felt about the city, too, in the social fabric. An unusual number of culture clubs have been organized among the women of the city and the men, too, have branched out into this realm with ap parent success. In close proximity to the state his torical society's museum and records, and to the gigantic state library and to all the facilities of the university, including the members of the faculty there, the clubs have had a wealth of material to draw upon in their dis cussions and studies. The results are seen in a myriad of ways. Real encouragement in these lines have been offered by the university faculty members, too, it might be written here. They have lent help ing hands wherever they could in the organization of clubs for intellectual benefit, and they have taken enough interest in them from time to time to assure the members of live subjects ,..... . a: : The homes of Lincoln are a true index of the spirit which is fostered within. They are concrete examples of the. home spirit for which Lin coln is noted, and of which it is prouder of than of any other feature which denotes its character. It is said of the city that an un usually large percentage of the people there own their own homes and that no American city over 25,000 popula tion can snow a better record in this respect. The. homes are not only built to correspond to the ideas of their own ers, but they have definite, tasty architectural lines, which they adhere to in a most happy manner. The straight, uninviting lines, for in stance, which can be too frequently found in the homes of some of the larger cities of the country are ab sent in Lincoln. The same idea to economize is there doubtless, but the people fail to call it economy to sac rifice some of the outside beauty for a few dollars. The good taste is seen not alone in the homes of great cost. A oreoon- derantly splendid spirit in this con of the city. The bungalow halm, il such it be, has caught Lincoln with a rush and thousands of those iR-at. well arranged, good looking smaller homes have gone up there in the last decade. There has been an especially large movement toward the city during the last three years to make room for the outside movement. The bunga low has been pursuing the prairie re lentlessly in and about the capital city, and threatens not to let up in the pursuit until many more of them dot the land surrounding the city. During the last few years public attention has been given to making the streets more beautiful and to providing parks for the city on a scale never before attempted there. The idea has been to give to the people who may not have in their home settings as much of nature as they want something they have been compelled to pass up in that respect. Antelope park is the greatest of these, and this with its additions of the last year has become a lovely place for people of all classes. Among those who have iriven this attention is one of our own bankers, Thomas Auld of the Corn Exchange National bank, who was for several years a resident of the capital city.. Mr. Auld gave a considerable tract to the city and already thousands of children and men and women who jhave frolicked upon it have thanked hadii t even a passing acquaintance with him and'wouldnt have known him if he had come up and swung one ot the kiddies back and forth. Lincoln is essentially a city of homes and is rapidly becoming a city, too, of beautiful streets and beautiful buildings, but the changes that have been made are naught to the ones F.laborate plans are being shown that are likely to be made within the now for the erection of a new union station at Lincoln, one that will have something of architectural beautv ' about it and which will be a credit to the city. There are plans also dis cussed by many of the improvement clubs having the backing of a unani mous citizenship which might result some day in a changed location for the state capitol ana which contem plate, a Pennsylvania avenue in the Capital City. The proposal is to have the capitol building located at the east end of Q street on a small hillock at Twenty seventh street, and to have it face the west, with business blocks built all the way from the Union depot at Eighth street. in some places there will probably be numerous little street parks built up and such additional beautihers as electrolier lighting systems and the like will be added. Another accom panying plan contemplates the build ing of a great roadway from Antelope park down to Twentieth and O streets down the path now followed by the Rock Island road. This, of course, would be possible if that road availed itself of the Union depot project and changed" its course through Lincoln. - next decade. The civic spirit is at work in a most commendable way. It will accomplish more things in the future than it has in the past. And one of these davs when future scribes pen lines for state fair editions of Omaha papers they will have so much to touch upon that no kind-neartea managing editor will think of limit ing them to 1,200 words. E. R. Deputy Co. When you see "Deputy" on a hat it means something. This company started out in business in a small way ten years ago in Lincoln. Now there is not a town in the state but what the Deputy hat goes into. Be sides they keep seven .saic.ncn the road and have extended their business into other states. ine company s sales rooms are situated at 227'31 North Ninth street, and besides handling hats, handles a general line of furnishing goods for gentlemen. 1 he comnanv enmlovs large number of employes and is one ot the substantial tirms which has helped to put Lincoln on the map as a wno'csaie town. i ii 1 MkjSfwm 1 1 I """"minimum ill Ml t'OUK ami linimiilifiiiii In this beautiful valve-in-head touring car every Buick engineering and manufacturing prin ciple is carried to the utmost This is the second season for this Buick model, and in that time it has established itself as "The IDEAL MOTOR CAR" In finish and appointments this Buick is equal to the costliest cars.
