Desires of the Women of
Douglas for War
Service.
Plans for the registration of women
for war services in Douglas county
Here discussed at a meeting of Omaht
Woman' club directors, called by the
president, Mrs. A. L. Fernald, acting
county chairman for the State Coun
cil of Defense, women's section.
Whether the Omaha Woman's club
would undertake the registration
work or what other women's organ
izations would be asked to co-oper-a'.i
was a question to be determined.
"Our county organization must be
completed before actual registration
work can be started and workers at
the polls named," said Mrs. Fernald.
Mrs. Fernald does not believe the
ork can be started before August
30. The preliminary meeting today
was held at the Y. M. C. A.
' The call for registration is issued
by Mrs. A. E. Sheldon hi Lincoln,
chairman rf that department, in the
following letter to Mrs. Fernald:
"The Council of National Defense
and its woman's committee asks for
the registration of the woman power
f ihf nation. The aim of this regis
tration is to record in definite form
the training, capacity and willingness
for service during the war of as many
women as can be reached throughout
the country. ,
Registration Voluntary. ,
i "This registration is voluntary. It is
held so that every woman ot 10 years
of age or over may be given an oppor
tunity to register ior pamout ctvi-c.
This it the first registration of the
women of the nation ever called for
and should be reponded to enthusias
tically by every loyal American. Any
woman registered hitherto by any
other organization is asked to register
under this national registration which
includes all women.
"In Nebraska, the women will reg
ister at the regular polling places in
each precinct on the day proclaimed
by Governor Neville for this purpose.
Hours of registration suggested are
from 7 a. m. to 7 p. m., but county
chairmen and councils will suggest
and advertise the hours best adapted
to their counties.
"The success of this registration de
pends mainly upon the careful selec
tion and organization of the precinct
registration boards. Wherever possi
ble the aid of automobiles in getting
women to the polls should be secured.
You should try hard to get every
woman in your count to register.
Effort should be made to secure the
registration of Nebraska women tem
porarily out of the state on the day of
registration. The details of a plan
for securing this for your county are
I left to you and your committee.
' "In some counties strong groups of
precinct registrars are selected from
the various elements, such as legis
lators and their wives, educators, ac
tive workers in the Women's Christian
Temperance Union, Women's clubs,
suffrage, Daughters of the American
Revolution, Sons of the American
Revolution, Grand Army of the Re
public. Womcns' Relief Corps, church
societies, fraternal organizations, so
cieties among foreign-born citizens,
etc. In some counties volunteer reg
istrars are called for. It is desirable in
any case to have both men and worn
en enlisted in this work. Make up
your boards as you think best. If you
wish volunteer registrars let it be
known through the press o.' your
county.
"The registration department as
sumes that each county chairman to
gether with the other members of the
county councils know the . available
workers in their county much better
than these workers are known to any
one outside. However, if you need
help from the state registration de
partment in this matter please let us
know at once.
Large Number of Workers.
"Care should be taken to secure in
each precinct a large number of men
and women as registrars to assist in
tilling out the cards and to enter on
the back of these cards at the time of
registration the personal equipment
estimate required by the card.
"Services ot precinct registration
hoards and other, workers must be
donated, as are the services of county
and state chairmen and committees.
"Enclosed you will find sample regis
tration card, provided they come in
time, and copy of intructions to, regis
trars. Just as soon as a supply of
both comes from Washington you will
'be sent a quantity sufficient to carry
on, and complete the work of registra
tion in your county. The supply will
be limited, hence it is essential that
no copies be lost.
"Please give from week to week to
the press in your county clear and
definite details of the plan of registra
tion, and try, in every other way, to
make this plan simple and clear and
popular,
"In each precinct as soon as registra
tion closes the cards should be ar
ranged according to printed instruc
tions and transmitted at once with the
names of the registration board to the
county chairman of woman's work.
The county chairman will arrange
these precinct returns in a compact
package and hold them, preferably in
a safety vault, until the state commit
tee requests a summary of the same.
"America has need of its loyal
women at th'.s time. This work de
mands intelligent, immediate, per
sistent attention. Command the
registration department of the worn
ens committee for any assistance
' which it can render you.
"Please let me hear, at least by Au
gust 10, how this work is progressing
in your county, sending at the same
time, it you will, the names ana aa
dresses of your chief workers.

Girls May Now Become Ambulance
Drivers or Telegraph Operators
Girls, does the thrilling life of a
war telegrapher appeal to you? Or
would you like to drive an ambulance
in France, picking up the wounded
boys and taking them to field or evac
uation hospitals to give them a chance
for life again?
You have the opportunity of a life
time to learn either of these warlike
vocations through the classes in te
legraphy and motor driving and mo
tor mechanics about to start under
the direction of the National League
for Women's Service.
The evening telegraphy class will
begin just as soon as enough girls
are registered to make an organized
class worth while. Several have sig
nified their intention to join this class,
but have failed to register. All who
are contemplating this kind of serv
ice should go to the headquarters of
the National League .for Women's
Service in the First National bank
building and sign tip. The class will
meet three evenings a week at the
Commercial High school from 1 to
8:30. A fee of $3 for fifteen lessons
will be charged. Instructor F. P.
Durand guarantees that in that length
of time any apt pupil can learn, to
send and receive slowly. It is hoped
that the class will be fall by the mid
dle of August, so that the work can
go forward without further delay.
Motor mechanics will also be
taught, beginning September 1. A
competent instructor will be in
charge and the fee will be $3 for
twelve lessons, which will cover a
month's time, at the rate of three
lessons a week.
Motor driving will also be taught
all who will register for the course.
The fee for this is $5 if the pupil can
use her own car and $8 if the dem
onstrator's car must be used. This
extra charge of $3 is to cover cost
of gasoline used.
Already Miss Delilah Pugh, a New
York gir', has sailed for France with
the commission of sergeant to drive
an ambulance there. She qualified
for her work under the motor depart
ment of New York City. Any Omaha
girl with a desire to serve her gov
ernment and at the same time receive
a salary might do likewise Girls, get

New Spring Wheat Sells
On Omaha Market Three Up
White wheat prices on the Omaha
market were 2 to 3 cents higher, corn
was a cent off, the decline being at
tributed to the rains that were general
over the central west Monday night.
Wheat receipts were eight carloads,
everything being of the spring va
riety and of the crop of this year. It
sold at $2.82 to' $2.85 a bushel.
Corn sold at $2.27 to $2.35 a
bushel. The receipts were eighty
one carloads. - - "
Oats were 1 to 3 cents lower,
selling at 70 to 70J4 cents a bushel.
Receipts were twenty-seven, carloads.
The International Harvester com
pany has started its complete course
in tractor farming at the worlds
tractor show in Fremont. It is
planned to makt this the most com
prehensive course in tractor farm
ing ever worked out in actual prac
tice. It will be a composite picture
of farming the up-to-date way as it is
already practiced on hundreds of
Nebraska farms. There will be new
frills in the way of motor cultivat
ing and oickine corn by machinery,
but the main show will be to teach
all the farmers to plow and harrow
and sow like a part of the farmers al
ready do it.
Five sizes and tvoes of Motrul and
Titan tractors will be thrown into
action every Jay this week until Sat
urday. Some tractors will plow, oth
ers will cover the ground, with disc
and peg-tooth harrows, others will
do seeding according to the farm
power method, and still others win
pull manure spreaders to give a
scientific too-dressing to the seea
bed.
Inside the big tent are all sorts of
corn machines, operated by small
kerosene motors, timed to the speed
of the normal gait of the team or
tractor. The farmers are seeing just
how the wheels go 'round in the corn
binder, ensilage cutter and husker
and shredder. Corn harvesting time
is only a few weeks off and the Fre
mont demonstration is a timely op
portunity to show the farmers the
latest and best machines for gather
ing the corn crop economically.
The knell has been sounded for the
old-fashioned horse cultivator. The
skeptics said it could never be done,
but the new International Harvester
company motor cultivator makes it
easier to cultivate two rows with a
motor than one row with a team.
Goodbye also to the husking peg.
In the International Harvester com
pany tent are two mechanical corn
pickers, which will go through the
field and gather the ears husked
clean quicker than two or three
champion corn pickers of the olden
days. All the old hand methods are
giving way to machines. The pro
duction per man must be increased.
The big International Harvester com
pany exhibit is showing just how
that can be accomplished.
Red Cross Workers in Field
To Wear American Uniforms
Washington, Aug. 7. Officials of
the Red Cross and probably those of
the Young Men's Christian associa
tion serving with the American army
in Europe will wear the American
uniform. '
Henry P. Davidson, chairman of
the Red Cross war council, and Wil
liam H. Taft, chairman of the central
committee, will be recognized as ma
jor generals should they cross the
Atlantic. Lesser rank will be con
ferred upon lesser officials. Members
of Mr. Davidson's committee and
Mr. Taft's committee will be given
rank of brigadier generals.
Operations of the Red Cross and
the Young Men's Christian associa
tion are being hampered because its
officials in Europe do not receive the
recognition accorded to wearers of
uniforms. Their commissions will be
signed by the secretary of war, but
will confer no military authority, ob
ligations or rights. They are intended
more as certificates of identification
and of an idication of confidence of
the government.
Persistent Advertising Is the Road
to Success.
