Take Out Insurance in
Favor of the Y. M. C. A.
If you want to help the Young
Men's Christian association in a sub

ance policy in its favor. That's what
a large number of persons are doing
in response to a quiet campaign being
waged by association members. The
object of the plan, according to E. F.
Denison, general secretary, is to build
up an endowment fund for the asso
ciation. "We intend to put the proceeds in
a fund from which we will only use
the interest," the secretary said.
"Other cities have followed out the
plan successfully and I think there
arc enough Omaha citizens who will
respond to make our plan a success
also."
While most of the policies taken out
in favor of the association are endow
ment policies, several of them are for
accident as well.

"SWOPS" GET
FIVEMORE MEN
Robbers, Using Automobile to
Beach Victims and Then Get
Away, Resume Operations.
CAUSE A REIGN OF TERROR
After two nights of inactivity, dur
ing which time police confidently an
nounced that all of the bold, bad high
waymen were in jail, highwaymen
again resumed activities Saturday
night and in less than an hour had
accomplished a reign of terror in the
north part of the city.
The victims:
E. W. Clarke, Kansas City, stop
ping at the Hotel Dodge, was held up
at Seventeenth and Nicholas by three
men who took irom him.
J. W. Betts, South Side, held up at
Eighteenth and Capitol by three men.
Lost his watch and $20, and was fired
at when he tried to resist.
Sam Schwartz, 1524 North Eight
eenth, held up at Eighteenth and
Clarke by two men. Lost $18.
Robert Hazelwood, 715 North
Twentieth, lost $8 at Twentieth and
Webster.
J. N. Carter, 2017 Spencer, held up
at Twenty-second and Wirt and
lost $4. '
The robbers used an automobile,
supposed to be the one stolen from
M. C. Peters at Fortieth and Dodge
early in the evening. They bore down
upon lone pedestrians, and, stopping
the car, would leap out and roD their
victims in jig time and then run to
the car again and be off.
When they stopped Betts, he
punched one of the highwaymen in
the face as he was being robbed of
his watch and $20. The other two
promptly fired at him, but none of
the shots took effect.
When the reports of the bandit op
erations commenced to come into po
lice headquarters, Captain Dempsey
immediately dispatched to the district
four automobiles, loaded with plain
clothes policemen who were armed
with revolvers, sawed off shotguns.
In addition, the usual dragnet sys
tem was put into effect and the entire
territory between Douglas street and
Ames avenue was closely combed, but
without result.
From the descriptions of the rob
bers, it is apparent that all victims
were robbed by the same men, who
used an auto in making their escape.
Bee Building Is
To Be Remodelled
By Lease Agreement
Negotiations are under way by
which The Bee building is to be re
modeled to conform to more modern
architectural lines. This is to be
brought about by the investment of
approximately $100,000 in reconstruct
ing the two lower stories as soon as
unexpired leases permit, which will
be within not more than two years,
the improvement to be financed under
a long-time lease to five of Omaha's
most enterprising and successful real
estate men, Ernest Sweet, Charles W.
Martin. E. M. Slater. Harrv Wolf and
Byron G. Hastings, associated to
gether as the Keystone Investment
company.
The lease will not disturb the con
tinued occupancy of quarters as the
home of The Bee or of the other ten
ants. It will, however, insure im
provements that will keep The Bee
building abreast of the newer office
buildings more recently erected.
The Bee building, along with the
New York Life building, both com
pleted in 1889, was first among monu
mental fireproof office buildings in
Omaha, putting the city "on the
map, and by reason ot its substantial
construction, still holds a foremost
place. The proposed lease arrange
ment carries with it an option to pur
chase in event it should later become
desirable to put a more pretentious
and expensive structure on the site.
Hastings & Heyden Buy
Furay Farm On West Q
Mrs. Catherine M. Furay has sold
to Hastings & Heyden her farm of
128 acres on the Q stret road, west of
South Omaha. The sale was made
through J. H. Dumont & Co. Mrs.
Furay has owned this farm for the
last forty years, but the land has
become too valuable for farming pur
poses and the purchasers will plat
the ground into acre tracts under the
name of South Side Acres, and offrr
the same for sale on easy payments
this spring. The land lies on the
paved road and street car lines two
miles west of the Armour Packing
company and is a high, sightly and
beautiful piece of land commanding
a fine view of Papillion creek valley,
Seymour Lake golf grounds and the
town of Ralston.
Nicholas Buys Corner
. Property From Switzler
Warren Switzler bought the south
east corner of Twelfth and Harney
streets 66 by 132 feet, from the estate
of A. H. Rawitzer and resold it to the
L. V. Nicholas Oil company, which
company will improve it at once for
an auto filling station. Both sales
were made through J. H. Dumont &
Co. The consideration was in the
neighborhood of $25,000.
This lot was formerly the home of
Judge Lake and family and was a
social center in the early days of
Omaha. Mr. Nicholas says this is
one of the best locations in the city
for a filling station, as it is in the
center of the wholesale district and
only a short distance from the center
of retail business. The new station
will have up-to-date equipment and
will be one of the finest in the city.

KOCH SPINS YARH
OF THE MOONSHINER
Sweet- Faced Mountain Girls,
Daughters of Fierce Feudist,
Attend Lincoln University.
LEARN HOW TO RUN FARM
"Making Over a Mountaineer" is
the title of an interesting yarn Felix
J. Koch has spun in reciting the re
generation of the feudist and moon
shiner of the mountains.
The story, printed recently in the
New York Christian Herald, tells of
the Lincoln Memorial university at
Cumberland Gao. Tenn.. an institu
tion exclusively for the education of
the Cumberland mountains where
Kentucky. Virginia and Tennessee
come together.
"You, friend reader, let's suppose,"
writes Mr. Koch, "have been invited
to come down and inspect the work
being done for the younger mountain-
folk at the big, new Lincoln univer
sity, up among the peaks, iou accept
the invitation with peculiar zest. Or
dinarily, visiting colleges is rather dry
work. But in this case, you would go
into the heart of the wildest, most
primitive of America's mountains, and
children of feudists and moonshiners,
youths from homes whose folk have
never seen a railway train, an electric
car, would be the student body.
A Surprise.
"Then, arrived, you wonder, as you
rambled through the grounds that
none of the students seemed to meas
ure up (or down) to what you ex
pected. A bell sounded from the
tower near, and presently charming,
refined, sweet-faced mountain girls
served you at table as few great
hotels know how to serre."
Mr. Koch continues to explain how
this new university teaches the mountain-folk
of the country the best meth
ods of farming and mechanical arts
while providing normal and academic
training, and, as needed, the higher
branches. The students pay a fair
proportion of the expense of the
school with their services. It is an
interesting story of a great institu
tion of which too little is known.
Kiddies Fill Up the
Movie Houses On
Their Special Day
Smiles all around was the rule with
Woman's club members. Their ef
forts to initiate special movie pro
grams for children were crowned with
success, that's the reason. Packed
houses at both Strand and Muse the
aters greted Dicken's "Christmas
Carol," "The Patchwork Girl of Oz"
and other educational and comic films
shown under direction of the club
women. Frequent bursts of applause demon
strated that the kiddies didn't mind
being "ejicated." They either didn't
know it or didn't mind it because the
"pitchers" were so good.
Clubwomen who act as chaperones
at each movie theater reported that
many women brought their children
to the movies while they continued
downtown to do their shopping, re
turning at the end of the perform
ance to call fos their children. Did the
kiddies like this arrangement? You
can just bet they did!
Firestone to Pay More
Attention to Branches
With its production problem prac
tically solved by immense factory ex
pansion during the last year, the Fire
stone Tire and Rubber company is
now ready to give more attention to
its branch service.
This was the statement of E. W.
BeSaw, western district manager for
the big rubber concern, upon his ar
rival at the local Firestone branch
yesterday. He came to confer with
F. C Rudisell, branch manager, other
members of the local office and all the
territory and city salesmen.
"Our aim is '100 per cent' service."
said Mr. BeSaw. "And we have
worked out plans that we believe will
bring this about."

A WONDERFUL YEAR!
To the Policy-holding Owners of The Prudential
Insurance Company of America:
During 1916 your Company issued OVER FIVE HUNDRED AND
NINETY-ONE AND ONE-HALF MILLION DOLLARS of Paid-for
life insurance at the lowest expense-rate in your Company's history. This is the
largest year's business ever paid for by The Prudential. The gain in insurance
in force was $283,000,000.
Although your Company is but forty-one years old, you are now the holders
of 15,000,000 policies, representing a total insurance in force of OVER
THREE BILLION DOLLARS.
Since your Company was organized it has paid to its policyholders the
great sum of $428,000,000, including more than $28,750,000 not called
for in any way by the policy contracts. The 1916 payments to policyholders were
over $47,278,000.
This wonderful growth and these remarkable figures reflect anew the confi
dence the insuring public has in The Prudential, and are a reindorsement of its aims,
Its achievements and its service.

from any drug store a 50-cent bottle
of "Wyeth's Ssge and Sulphur Com
pound,'' which is merely the old-time
recipe improved by the addition of
other Ingredients. Thousands of folks
recommend this ready-to-use prepara
tion because it darkens the hair beau

tell, as it darkens so naturally and
evenly. You moisten a sponge or soft
brush with it, drawing this through
the hair, taking one small strand at a
time. By morning the gray hair dis
appears; after another application or
two, its natural color is restored and
it becomes thick, glossy and lustrous,
and yon appear years younger.
