THE BEE: OMAHA. SATURDAY, JUNE 2.-1917. ft SB- MOT ALL CITY MEN ARE GOOD FARMERS dome of the Helpers Going to ' the Country Ignorant of the Work Expected -of Them. By A. R. GROH. Don't think, George, just because you quit your job as a soda water clerk or a blacksmith and go out on the farm that you, are a hero and a patriot. That, in itself, doesn't prove pa triotism any more than rising when the "Star-Spangled Banner" is played. That, without anything else ot back it up, may merely indicate that you are a near-slacker. To prove that you are a real patriot and really want to increase your coun try's food supply you must work after you get on the farm. Work, work. Vv'ork "like sixty." Work your head off, figuratively speakgig. Work like the soldiers work. The young officers up at Fort Snelling work from 5 a. m. to 9 p. ni. Eight hours they spend in hard drilling. Other hours they spend in study. . Should Discipline Yourself. If yoi go on a farm yoU ought to put yourself under a voluntary dis cipline as hard as a military disciplfnc. Just imagine there is a sergeant over you all the time, making you hoc weeds or plow corn right "up to the scratch." In Germany they're making their farmers and citj youngsters work on the farms. You can bet your bot tom dollar there are no dawdlers on the German fields. 1 Some farmers of the state are mak ing complaint about workers they ate getting from the city. Some of them are all right, of course.' But others seem to have come to the farms just to try to escape military duty. Such fellows are. not only slackers, but hypocrites. - One farmer writes from Gretna: "We have two city fellows here who couldn't even ditch up a team of hordes and didn't seem very anxious to learn how. i One tried to drive a fourteen-foot harrow through a ten foot gate and did more damage than he will do good in a week. I wanted, a young man to help around the house and tend to the chickens and they sent me a big, brawny blacksmith who would be more use to the country working at Lis trade." Must Fit in Their Place. This is what must be avoided. ' We must look out that no square pegs get into found holes and no round pegs into square holes. Each ma ought to take a con scientious survey of himself. He ought t'p ask himself whether he would be most useful iii his present position or as a farmer or as a sol dier. He ought to decide honestly, according to his qualifications. And when he has decided that he can render more service to his coun tr on farms than in arms he should take a patriotic oath with himself that he will work his hardest this sum mer, that he wiH plow and "weed" and reap and pitch hay just as vigor ously as though he were in the mili tary branch of the service. ' . Make Every Minute Count. Each day. each hour, he should !do his honest duty as he sees it with all the vim and force that in him lies and just as thoroughly as though he had ' to rise and drill and study under mili tary rules, like the boys at Fort Snell- Only by so doing can c maintain his seif-respect and liis respect in the eyes of the world. Working (hard) on the farm makes, you a patriot. Shirking on the farm makes you a slacker. . Gym Girls Postpone Camp ' -; Cleanup Week Until June 9 The gymnasium girls of "the Young Women's Christian association who planned to don overalls Saturday morning and clean up the summer camp grounds have postponed their cleanup .campaign until June 9 be cause of inclement weather. June 23 is the day set for the formal opening of the camp and anyone Wishing to register may do so now. FORMER POSTMASTER'NOW WITH BANKERS REALTY. From Our Near Neighbors B. F. THOMAS. B. F. Thomas, prominent Omaha lawyer nd widely known through Nebraska by reason of many years in public life, announces his recent con nection witft the financial department of the Bankers' Kcalty Investment company. .". ' . Among the niany prominent places Mr. Thomas -has occupied was. the postmastership of Omaha, which ap pointment he reteive'd from President Koosevelt in 1HU8 and where he served until March, 1912.. He also served Douglas county as state sen ator for two terms, 1905 and 1907, and was a member of the Omaha School Board for two terms, during the last vear of which he was president of that body. , Big Plant of Booze is Unearthed by Officers Three cases of beer, one quart, nine pints and seven half pints of whisky, two quarts of Muscatel wine, one quart of Sherry wine and one quart of polo gin . were found in the home of Richard Smith at 1607 Burt street by officers who had secured a search warrant after his conviction for sell--ing liquor. . ... He admitted the selling of a quart of whisky at his place of business. 507 South Thirteenth street, to Maud Morris andt was fined $100 and costs, as this was his first offense. ' Evidence regarding his disposing of liquor contrary to law was dicov- ered- when othcers went into 507 South Thirteenth street to have them remove broken glass from a window over the street. They found Anna Miller intoxicated and Laura Mc Creidy and Maud Morris with liquor in - their possession. After being brought to the station they told offi cers where they had secured their booze. Friday morning Anna.-Miller paid a fine of $10 and costs. Laura Mc- Cretdy and Maud Morris were both sentenced to thirty days in jail, which was suspended on condition that they return to their parents' home at once. Eiectricity for Power Increased in Clevefand 'While'' the Cleveland Electric Illu minating company of Cleveland, '0., has increased its rates on current for commercial uses, the Omaha Electric Light and, Power company is seek ing to stave off the increases as long as possible, though coal and every thing that goes to the' making of current has greatly increased in cost in the last tew years. Under the new contracts in Cleve land the increase amounts to 40 per cent to users of 2,500 kilowats per month, SlVi for the next 35,000 kilo wats and 20 per cent for users of 310, 000 kilowats.

One Thousand Rags to Be Sold for Decorating Cars The Hag sub-committee of the M. C. Peters registration day committee has obtained 1,000 flags which they have arranged to sell at cost, 75 cents, to those -who want them for decora tion purposes during the week of June 2 to 6, when the entire city is to be aflame with the Stars and Stripes. The Omaha Auto club has taken a large number of these flags and will dispense them to its members for use on the automobiles and in other deco rations at cost. The oil companies have taken large numbers of them to be sold at thc-oil filling stations to those who want to decorate their cars with them. With the flags obtainable at the filling sta tions and at the headquarters of the Auto club, it is expected that cars will be well decorated with the national colors during those days which em brace the draft registration day, June 5. Business houses and office buildings in the city in general are responding splendidly to the call for special deco rations, and though flags and bunting are somewhat scarce in the city, they have all indicated that they will have their respective places well draped with the colors.
