Far West Not Helped By European War "Portland and the Pacific coast cities, except, possibly, San Fran cisco, have not been benefited by the war conditions," says C. F.

OMAHA'S OLD HOME WEEK IHJEW YORK Denizens of World's Bis-trest City Learn a Few Things from Westerners. THEY IMPORT OUR ARTISTS By A. R. GROH. These stories were told me by the society editor and they're dandies. They show how men and women of Omaha and Nebraska are distinguish ing themselves in the world. The greatest living sculptor, a na tive of Omaha, was here last week visiting his sister. The greatest American orator is a Nebraskan. Our Haywards and Estabrooks go to New York and get to the top of things right away. And the sporting editor says not to forget that Nebraska is the home of the greatest base ball pitcher and the greatest wrestler. But to our stories. The first is about the society editor herself. She was in New York City visiting a friend a while ago and the "city mouse" took the "country mouse" around to see the wonderful sights. To the Metropolitan museum they went where, in a most commanding position, stands the colossal sculp ture, "Mares of Diomedes." Before this great work the "city mouse" stopped and bade the "country mouse" worship and wonder. "Oh, yes', this was done by two Omaha men, Gutzon and Solon Borg lum," quoth the Omaha girl. Point No. 2. Pretty good, eh? But, waitl There's a better one coming. The following was related by a leading Omaha so ciety woman. Mrs. K- went to visit a friend in New York, a woman very proud of her big city. So she took the woman from the wild and woolly west to see the sights. "We will go to luncheon to hear May Naudain, who is New York's latest and greatest musical comedy star. You may get to meet her and even speak a few words with her, she said. "Oh, dear," cried Mrs. K , "I know May. She's an Omaha girl. I'll introduce you to her." (Stock quotation: New York, 95; Omaha, 5.) After the luncheon the New York woman took her friend to the Hip podrome. As the limousine rolled along she explained to Mrs. K the greatness ot this amusement palace. , Gotham Bows Low. "Yes, indeed, it's a wonderful theater," said Mrs. K . "You know it was built by Nebraska men. Mr. Thompson and Skip Dundy of Omaha." (Stock quotation: New York, 7S'A Omaha, 21 .) Then they went to the Ritz to 3 "the dansant." Maurice was the tern- sichorean artist and after he had danced with his partner he came and asked a petite, fashionably dressed girl with hair worn bobbed etlect, i la Mrs. Castle, to dance with him. "Oh, what a cute little girl!" ex claimed Mrs. New York. "Yes, isn't she?" said Mrs. K . "She's E W of Omaha." (Stock quotation: New York, 59'4; Omaha, 40.) By this time the New York hostess was considerably chastened in spirit, so to speak. Every wonder that she exhibited was from Omaha. But she didn't quite despair. A Minister's Daughter. "We will go to a concert and hear a great singer who has taken the city by storm," she said. When the singer appeared on the stage: "Why, that is Grace Laird," cried Mrs. K . "No, you're wrong this time," said Splendid tor y Bad Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis .. Aa laexpeaslTe Home-Made Rem- tij Gives Surest, aalcKeat Relict. Mrs. New York, with satisfaction. "This is Belle Storey." ICS, of course, that is her stage name, said Mrs. is. . nut ner real name is Grace Laird, and she is the daughter of a Presbyterian minister in Omaha." (Stock quotation: New York, 49M: Omaha, 50J4. Market ordered closed because of panic in New York, common.) Well Known Omahans Marry in Toledo Two former Omahans now living in Chicago, Will B. Millard and Miss Louise Bennett, were married in To ledo Monday. Mr. Millard is the only son of Senator Joseph H. MillanUand the father of Barton Millard.

She is an at tractive young woman, a decided blonde, and was extremely popular in the high school set a few years ago. She is a niece of L. G. Doup. Mr. Millard and Mr. Bennett are associated in business. Mr. Millard's first wife, daughter of Guy C. Barton', died several years ago. Mrs. Barton Millard, who is visit ing in Toledo, attended the wedding. The bride was last in umana aDout two months ago to attend the funeral of her aunt, Mrs. Louis Doup. Tabloids of Politics Little Items About the Progress of the Campaign. Every political campaign has its sadness and its gladness, its joys and sorrows. This campaign is no ex ception. The latest morsel of humor is the word which is being promul gated from democratic stale head quarters to advance the thought that "Wilson is going to carry Nebraska by 40,000." The democratic bosses believe that by repeating this often enough it will give the men in the trenches a spark of courage and keep them working until election day. It is jusl a campaign catch nhrase the democratic way of whistling off the ghosts that haunt their waking and sleeping hours. adds that he does not believe in rub bing; it into the democratic party at this time, when it is down on its knees begging for another chance to "put Columbia's hat on straight." A nonpartisan meeting will be held Tuesday in Magnolia hall, Twenty fourth street ami Ames avenue, under the auspices oi the Saratoga club, at which William H. Norman will pre side. Among the speakers will be Hen S. Baker, C. O. l.obeck, Emmet G. Solomon and Frank Dewey. The Socialist party of Omaha has billed a mass meeting for Sunday afternoon in the Auditorium.

Timison have arranged for a meeting in Druid hall, Twenty-fourth and Ames avenue, this evening. The principal speak er will be William J. L. Crank of Denver, a man who has made a fav orable impression through this state. He is the type of speaker who wins democratic friends. "Pawnee Bill" Invades Omaha as."G. W. Lillie" Pawnee Bill is with us. Gordon V. Lillie, the original own er of the famous sobriquet, came in from Pawnee, Okl. He is the guest of T. O. Warficld of North Twenty eighth street and intends to stay in Omaha a few days. Hard Winter Wheat ' And Durum Eclipse All Previous Records Wheat records were smashed on the Omaha Grain exchange yesterday. Hard winter wheat, which rose to the pinnacle price of $1.64 Wednes day, soared still higher and brought the phenomenal price of $1.66. Durum wheat, the cereal which used to sell at discount before the war, reached the record price of $1.70. This was paid in an actual sale by licwshcr t the Nyc-Schneider-Fow-ler company. Yellow corn caught the aviation fever and mounted to 87j cents, its best record for the year. The record-smashing wheat is Ne braska's own product, coming from Kimball. Poor Children Are Supplied With Shoes When Snow Falls The price of shoes has gone up I But the poor children of Omaha can still go to school. The Liberal Aid society tendered Police Matron Gib bons $50. "See that no child is kept from school for the want of shoes, and to all who apply, supply them." Five little ones who have been on the matron's list for several days were given brand new "kicks" and trudged in the snow lo school proud as a flock of young peacocks, For Catarrhal Deafness and Head Noises Here in America there fi much tufferin . -from Catarrh and head noliet.
