TJMID MEN REFUSE
TO ASSERT RIGHTS
Shy Males Refuse to Accept
Freedom from Swsltering
Garments Decreed by
Foolish Precedent.
By A. R. GROH.
Well, men, I'm through. I'm dune
with the whole lot of you.
I tried to help you. I did my best.
I pointed out the way, the way to
clothes freedom and comfort.
But you went back on me. And now
I'm through. You can go ahead and
swelter and surfer in the heat of sum
mer for all I care.
Monday, July 9, was the day 1 had
appointed when you were all to ap
pear in your Unoslips, the garment of
freedom, the one-piece suit that was
to do away with stiff collars, make
belts a thing of the past, render gar
ters and shots and sox obsolete. It
was the day when you were to rise up
" and assert your emancipation.
But did you rise up? Did you? No,
you know very well you did not. Not
a single, solitary one of you came
forth in the great comfort garment
that I invented for your bendtit.
Hov elated I felt when I awoke yes
terday morning! The thought came to
me, "This is Unoslip day." 1 imag
ined how odd the streets and public
places would look with all the men
dressed in Unoslips instead of in the
hot, stuffy garments that they have
worn heretofore. I imagined their
feeling of elation. I saw committees
waiting on me to thank me.
Rude Awakening.
Ah, little did I dream of the dis
appointment that awaited me, of the
rude awakening that was to come
after my great efforts for the libera
tion of my fellowmen.
I looked out of the window. Two
men were walking past. But were
they wearing Unoslips? They were
not. They wore shoes, trousers, hats,
collars and even coats.
Ah, the disappointment of that mo
ment! But I recovered soon. I re
flected that may be these two had
forgotten that it was "Unoslip day."
You couldn't expect every man in
the city to remember to wear the
Unoslip the very first day.
Then a street car came past. I
looked. The back platform was full
of men. And not one of them wore
the Unoslip! There they stood, in
the old garments which have been
decreed to them by the foolish cus
tom of generations.
But the worst was yet to come.
When I arrived down town I found
that not a single man in all the city
had worn the Unoslip. They paid no
attention to it. They ignored it ut
terly. Fierce Resentment.
Then it was that resentment struck
me, fierce, vengeful resentment. I had
clone my duty. I had pointed the way.
I had preached the emancipation of
the body from clothes bondage. I had
sent the clarion call to brave men
to cast off shoes, socks, garters, belts,
suspenders, collars, shoes, hats and
dress themselves in loose, one-piece
garments made of voile, georgette
crepe, silk, satin, pussy willow taf
i'eta.'lawn, organdie, khaki kool, poiret
twill, jersey cloth, dimity and the like.
Many men had spoken in enthusi
astic favor of the Unoslip. And then,
when the great "Unoslip day" came,
they were lacking. They were found
wanting. My altruistic labors were
in vain.
And now I say "Let them suffer."
If they prefer to burden their bodies
with fourteen tight garments in hot
weather instead of draping them in
the single, loose-fitting garment of
coolness and comfort, the Unoslip,
let them suffer. I'm through.

WOULD RID OMAHA
OF ALLSLACKERS
City Prosecutor McGuire Starts
Warfare Against Men Who
Refuse to Take Em
ployment. Prosecuting Attorney T. J. Mc
Guire has started a campaign to rid
Omaha of "slackers." "There are
hundreds of men loafing around pool
halls and soft drink parlors who
should either go to work or join the
army," he says. "They will loaf
around and live from the work of
their parents, wives and sweethearts,
but absolutely refuse to work. I am
reliably inform d that it has been
necessary to import labor on the
South Side and that more men are
needed. I would like to see them
made to work and in case they are
brought before this court Judge Fitz
gerald and myself will see that they
do."
Several states and many cities have
passed laws based on the West Vir
ginia statutes that provides a jail sen
tence for any man arrested for vag
rancy who is not working and deriv
ing his sustenance either in whole or
in part from any voman or child. Re
quests have been made to the city
attorney to draft an ordinance of this
kind for Omaha.
A request has been made to Chief
of Police Dunn to bring these men
into court and make them work.
Recomemnd "Bill" Her Be
Held for District Court
Melvin A. Briner, 9-year-old lad,
came to his death July 6 by being
struck by an automobile driven by
William Her, the coroner's jury has
decided. The jury recommended that
Her be held for the district court. The
car, after striking the boy, speeded
out of sight, but witnesses obtained
the number of the machine, which
later proved to be Iler's. Her is now
at liberty on a $5,000 bond signed by
his father, P. E. Her, and will have a
preliminary hearing in police court
July 16.
PLENTY OF HELP
FOR ALLFARMERS
Director of Labor Says Farm
Labor Proposition Not as
Acute as Many Believe.
"The farm labor proposition, so
far as taking care of the small grain
that is to be harvested in Oklahoma,
Kansas, Nebraska, the Dakotas and
Minnesota, is not alarming," said A.
L. Barkman, connected with the De
partment of Agriculture, with offices
in Kansas City, and know as di
rector of labor.
Mr. Barkman is in from Oklahoma
and Kansas, where he has been
watching the progress of the harvest.
He has this to say:
"In Oklahoma the small grain harv
est has been finished and is pretty
well along as far north as central
Kansas. Next week Nebraska will
be in the midst of its harvest. So far
there has been plenty of help to han
dle the harvest and no great shortage
of labor is expected, unless possibly
in the Dakotas, w-here there is a large
acreage, and a heavy yield is anti
pated. "The Kansas acreage is small, ow
ing to the plant having been badly
winter killed. The same conditions
will maintain in Nebraska. Over a
small area in central southern Kan
sas there is a normal wheat crop, but
elsewhere in the state the acreage
is small.
Government Is Aiding.
"The government has been assist
ing the farmers in the matter of find
ing men for the fields. Every post
master in every small grain growing
state has been appointed a govern
ment agent. These postmasters have
made surveys of the localities tribu
tary to their offices and have (ascer
tained the needs of the farmers. These
reports have been forwarded to the
Department of Agriculture and in turn
sent to the directors in charge of the
districts. The district directors have
been able to get in touch with men
wanting to go into the harvest fields
and in this way the fanners have
been pretty well supplied with help.
"So far wages in the fields have
ranged from $3 up to $6 per day. The
low wage being for ordinary farm
hands and the higher for experts.
Generally, instead of the men work
ing in the fields front sun to sun.
they have worked on a basis of a ten
hour day. As a rule tlleir work has
been satisfactory and men who have
wanted to work have found steady
employment at wages that have yield
ed good returns.
"The methods employed by the
government in handling the harvest
labor problem has done away with
the congregating of large numbers
of men who had no idea of where
they were going and what they were
going to do. Now when a man wants
to work he gets in touch with one
of our agencies. 11c is told where
to go and given an idea of the wages
paid. Then he packs up, starts from i
home and when he reaches his des
tination he finds his job ready for
him.
"In Kansas there are practically
enough local men to take care of the
harvest, and the same will hold true
with reference to Nebraska, though
there may be considerable extra help
needed in the hay fields."
Down Town Garbage Contract
Is Given to Carl Sorenson
The city council committee of the
whole voted to recommend awarding
to Carl Sorenson, Sixth and Grace
streets, a contract for exclusive priv
ilege of collecting garbage within a
district east of Twenty-sixth street,
between Leavenworth and Cuming
streets. The city is to receive a
bonus of $7,000 a year and Sorenson
has agreed to collect without charge
to the city all garbage from outlying
districts on which the city received
no premium bids.
Erne & Newman agree to collect
the garbage from the South Side with
out cost to the city if given an ex
clusive privilege.

Attempt to Rob Store of
Thomas Kilpatrick Fails
An attempt was made Sunday night to
burglarize the Thomas Kilpatrick
store. Entrance was gained through
a skylight and the knob was knocked
off the safe door. This was as far
as the would-be burglars could get
and they were forced to leave empty-handed.
No complaints can truthfully be
made of Nebraska crops.
That is the gist of reports gathered
by agents of the Burlington road
along the lines in the state.
Rains were light last week, but
they were pretty well distributed and
there were few, if any, places where
crops arc suffering on account of a
lack of moisture.
Wheat is making a good growth
and through the southern part of the
state harvest will start this week.
Though the acreage is below the nor
mal, a large yield is expected.
The warm weather of last week was
favorable for the rapid growth of
corn and, according to the Burling
ton's report, over most of the state
the plant is in a healthy condition,
the fields free from weeds, and with
seasonable weather a bumper crop is
promised.
Oats Harvest Starts.
In the southern part of the state
harvesting of oats, rye and barley has
commenced. The heads of the grain
are well filled and better than a nor
mal yield is anticipated.
The first cutting of alfalfa is in 4he
stack and in many localities the sec
ond cutting is ready.
On the hay meadows of the north
half of the state enormous quantities
of wild hay are being put tip in antici
pation of high prices during next fall
and winter.
The potato crop promises to be
the largest in the history of the state.
As a rule, planting was late, but since
warm weather set in growth has been
rapid.

If You Are Not Delighted
Free
Your Money Back
Mrs. Housewife, here's a
new dessert entirely dif
ferent from the old, quick
gelatine desserts.
For your sake,' and your
folks' sake, we are urging you to try it
It will change your whole conception
of these fruity desserts. It will amaze
you by its delicacy and flavor. It will
bring to your table a new delight.
So we propose this: Order it at once
any flavors. Serve one package at
a dinner. If you are not delighted,
take the empty package back, and
your grocer will return its price.
1 You get a new dainty, quick and
economical, or else the dessert is free.
Fruit-Juice Flavors
Jiffy-Jell flavors are
all made from fruit
juices. Not one is arti
ficial. So you get fresh
crushed-fruit flavors.
There are seven flavors raspberry,
strawberry, cherry, orange, lemon, lime
and pineapple. We want to suggest
your first test of the pineapple.
In the old desserts, with flavors
mixed in the powder,
pineapple was impossi
ble. It would not keep.
In tie Jiffy-Jell way,
with flavors in vials, it
retains all its strength
and delicacy.
, So, for one of your
flavors, try pineapple
the .most bewitohing
fruit flavor.

Home of Jiffy' Jell
Amid the Famous Waukesha Spring
Sealed in Vials
Flavqrs Cannot Change
Jiffy -Jell flavors come
sealed in glass vials. Each
contains the concentrated
essence of much fruit juice.
One vial will flavor a pack
age of Jiffy-Jell enough for
six or eight servings.
The fresh fruit flavors-
being sealed keep their freshness until
used. So Jiffy-Jell desserts taste like
freshly-picked fruits.
You make Jiffy-Jell by adding boiling
water, as with other gelatine desserts.
No sugar needed no color.
But boiling water scalds a flavor and
changes it entirely. That was one trouble
with the former quick desserts.
In Jiffy-Jell you add the flavor from the
vial, when the jell has
partly cooled. Sotho
flavor isn't scalded.
That's one great rea
son for Jiffy -Jell su
premacy. The flavors
are true and fresh.
