The Seymour club golf course is

which means that the links will not
only take twice as long to make, but
will rank with the best in the state.

leaps and bounds since and with the
rise in popularity of the game it is
expected that the first turnout will
find a hundred men ready to swing
the stick. '
Additional facilities are being added
at the clubhouse and pavilion and the

Anderson Stars
In Aquatic Meet
Of Omaha Seals
Swede Anderson was the star of the
first monthly swimming meet held by
the Omaha Seals at the Young Men's
Christian association last night. An
derson captured both of the big swim
ming events, the 220-yard and forty
yard swims.
The Swede won the 220-yard event
in a walk in the fast time of three
minutes and forty-five seconds. In
the forty-yard event, however, he
was given a close race by Loyd Neff.
Anderson chipped off the distance in
twenty-one and three-fifths seconds,
while Neff did it in twenty -two sec
onds, flat. i
The freak stunts proved very amus
ing, especially the "grab a shirt and
swim a length" race, staged by Pete
Wendell and E. P. Woodcock, and
the tug-of-war, which the Seals won
from the Walruses. The fancy diving
also was interesting. Results of the
competetive events were as follows:

Covenant Flippers Unable
To Locate the Basket
The basket proved an elusive mark
for the Church of the Covenant flip
pers, who lost to the Calvary Bap
tists, 34 to 3. The Covenanters were
outclassed from the start, all their
points being made on free throws.
A contest between the Beselins and
the Gym Leaders team on the same
court resulted in a 48 to 14 victory
for the Beselins. ,
A near riot was nipped in the bud
by Officer Guy Knudtson at Twenty
seventh and N slreets. Negro and
white boarders became engaged in a
quarrel in which knives, bricks, guns
and anything that came handy figured.
The fight originated in the third story
of an all-nation rooming house on
tower N street and spread to the
street.
Knudtson found Oscar Williams, ne
gro, charging on a white man, the
proprietor of the house, full force
with a big butcher knife. He con
cluded affairs immediately by taking
the blade away from the negro. His
timely assistance probably saved the
life of a babe that lay in a cradle in
the corner of ,he kitchen in line with
the man's path.
Captain Briggs. Detective Fleming
and Officer Baughntan arrived mo
ment later and took' charge of Wil
liams. The others had escaped
Will Memorize Songs.
When students of the South High
school in mass meeting in the school
auditorium yesterday morning were
asked to sing "Columbia, Gem of the
Ocean" from memory they fell down
utterly. The students were being led
by the instructress in music, the new
idea of mast singing receiving its first
trial.
Principal , Huwaldt could not re
strain the humor of the situation and
laughed outright. He promised to
have patriotic songs printed on indi
vidual cards which may be carried
about handily by the students.
Finds Mexican Honey.
Seventy dollars in Mexican money
is equivalent to $12.50 in American
exchange at the present time. The
Packers' National bank, Sonth Side,
recently effected tire exchange on the
above quoted amount at the Mexican
border. The money is being held
pending a thorough investigation by
the police.
It appears that Joe Garcia. Mexican
lost $300 in Mexican money while
making change at Twenty-sixth and
N and Twenty-fourth and L streets
January 29 last. The loss was re
ported to the police, but no trace was
found until the Packers' National
bank reported a deposit of Mexican
money on February 13. Detectives
Fleming and Sullivan investigated and
examined J nomas W. Minus, ii17 M
street, holder of the com. The lat
ter steadtastly asserted that he had
won the money in a card game and
had not tound it.--1 -

Intense Itching
Of Large Blotches
On Child's Head

Could not Sleep. In Two Months
Cirticura Healed Sound and Well.
"My little daughter began breaking
out on her head in small pimples or
blisters which discharged a watery fluid.
In a day or two these dried and formed
a rough, scaly surface.. This continued
to break out about every two weeks,
spreading out larger until her scalp,
face, and limbs were covered with large
blotches, red and fiery. The itching was
so intense we had to keep her hands tied
and she could not sleep or let any one
else. It was a life of torture.
' 'We heard of Cuticura Soap and Oint
ment, and began to use them. A won
derful change took place at once and in
two months time she was healed sound
and well." (Signed) Mrs. Arch Lagle,
Depauw, Ind., Oct 4, 1916.
Why not prevent these distressing skin
troubles by making Cuticura your every
day toilet and nursery soap aided by
touches of Ointment now and then to
remove the first signs of pimples, rashes
and dandruff. Do not confound these
delicate emollients with coarsely medi
cated soaps and ointments.

Why We Got Aboard the
1
mum;
Because we have seen hundreds of
"Redden -Truck -Makers" working. We
have talked to the owners and found them
enthusiastic. We haw examined cost sheets
and checked up the astonishing savings over
horse hauling. We have seen a "Redden-Truck-Maker"
doing the same work day
after day as a heavy truck at half the cost.
Because we have examined the "Redden-Truck-Maker"
and found it to be as sturdy
as any ton truck we ever saw a powerful
truck axle and truck frame which fits over
the Ford frame and takes up all the strain;
big, sturdy truck wheels with solid rubber
tires, truck springs that will stand up
under a 50 overload, and an all-around
soundness of design and construction.
Because we know business firms who hare dou
bled their number of customers, and reduced
their delivery costs with a "Redden -Truck - Milker."
Because we investigated the The Redden Motor
.Truck Co. We found that this company has
ample means behind it with facilities -for manufac
turing the "Track-Maker' complete in its own plants.
We found that it controlled the Cook Patents, which
cover absolutely the principle of converting pleasure
cars into motor trucks.

Because we are satisfied beyond aO question that
the imitators of the "Redden -Truck -Maker" are
infringing the Cook Patents and are being, or will be,
prosecuted for infringement.
Because we believe this is the greatest truck
proposition this country has produced.
. r .-, ,- .
We know that as soon as Grocers, butchers,
Department Stores all retailers, Laundries, Man
ufacturers, Wholesalers realize what a tremendous
saving they can effect with a "Redden -Truck -Maker"
they are going to come to us and buy.
' The "Redden -Truck -Maker" costs $350. A new
Ford chassis costs' $325 a used Ford for much
less. The combination makes a reliable one ton
truck which will do the work of any truck costing
double the price. It can be maintained at one-half
the cost of the ordinary ton truck. - You can have
any type of body your business needs. -
One thing more don't buy until you have in
vestigated as thoroughly as we did. Reraember
the Redden -Truck - Maker is licensed under the
Cook Patents that means not only protection but
is also a guarantee of quality. Compare the Redden
point for point with any other and you will demand
me Redden the same as we did.
Call in and see how easy it is for you to convert
any Ford into a guaranteed One -Ton Truck in
