Mrs. Paul Yeftich, Here From
Foreign Fields, Will Be at
Head of Mission Effort
Here.
. !
An active campaign to raise money
for devastated Serbia, where German
atrocities are so numerous that the
country has been laid waste, is to be
inaugurated Sunday morning at the
First Presbyterian church, when Mrs.
Paul Yeftich, a Serbian missionary,
will tell of the terrible conditions
prevalent there.
The story of Mrs. Yeftich is an un
usual one. Mrs. Yeftich, who is a
young and handsome Englishwoman,
first went to Serbia in company with
150 other nurses to do mercy work
among the soldiers. Conditions even
tually became so bad she was forced
to walk for seventy-six miles to es
cape. Mrs. Yeftich, who is accompanied
by her husband, one of the origin
ators of the Serbian mission in Eng
land, is connected with the Franco
Serbian field hospital of America.
Following a week of hard work the
Serbian v. orkers will inaugurate a
flag day on Saturday, August 25.
Flags will be sold on all principal
corners, the money raised to go di
rectly to the distressed Serbian peo
ple. Attorney Badgerow Marvels
At the Growth of Omaha
Egbert M. Badgerow, Tacoma,
Wash., and Sioux City, is here, visit
ing old friends. Mr. Badgerow hrst
came to Omaha from St. Joseph, Mo.,
in 1898, and for several years was em
ployed as assistant general attorney
for Cudahy Packing company, later
oractieinehere. He left here in 1904.
Said Mr. Badgerow Saturday:
"I have naturally watched with in
terest the wonderful developments
that have been takipg place in Oma
ha. While loyal to Sioux City, where
our family have considerable real
estate holdings and while I love the
great Fuget Sound country and the
metropolis building at Tacoma, I
frankly confess the greatest admira
tion for the intelligence, the resource
fulness and the stick-together spirit
of Omaha business men, which over
looks nothing that will benefit and
make Omaha still greater. The Fon
tenelle hotel and the benefits derived
from it is one example.
"The trade excursion train Omaha
sent into the northwest some years
ago has not been forgotten in the
state of Washington.
"It is good to be here and meet
the old friends and make new ones,
for Omaha has live ones, everyone.
A man with red blood just cannot
help boosting for Omaha."

CROWDS ARE TURNED
AWAY AT THE GAYETY
V
Opening; of Season at Omaha
Burlesque House Marked Suc
cess; "Oh Girl" Company
Makes Hit.
"Business as usual," at the Gayety
Saturday, when the "Oh, Girl" com
pany opened the season at this Har
ney street fun center. Manager E. L.
Johnson's face was radiant when the
orchestra struck up the overture and
the ticket rack in the box office had
been sold out.
Four hundred and ninety-eight
could not get seats, because they
were too late. It was an auspicious
opening, not only of the Gayety, but
of the theatrical season.
This burlesque house recently had
been redecorated and renovated, and
it shone resplendent beneath a myriad
of liehts.
All boxes were occupied by rhem
bers of the "Dandy Sixth," Nebraska
National Guard, and during the patri
otic finale of the first part the soldier
boys out in front were remembered by
those on the stage.
Real Girlesque Show.
"The High Cost of Flirting" is the
title of the entertainment offered. As
the program states, the show is a
"nonsensical, filmical, comical musical
oddity and girlesque show, con
structed for laughing purposes only."
There are song numbers, ensembles
and specialties in rapid succession
and of the kind that arouse laughter
and applause. Laura Chase of the
cast, who is Mamie Mitchell by real,
name, makes a stunning drill major
in the marching number which closed
the first part. A living tableau of the
spirit of 76 evoked hearty applause
and was a timely feature. - The statue
of liberty number also won the
crowd.
Frances Tait Fotsford appears as
Shirley Gotham, the "Oh, Girl" from
New York. She is fair to look upon
and carries herself with grace. Jean
nette Mohr, petit brunette, is Vir
ginia West, a New York flirt, who
knows a few things about the gentle
art.
. Some Classy Music.
"The .Ragtime Volunteers Are Off
to War," is another patriotic song
number that goes well. "America
Needs You Like a Mother," and "Let's
All Be American Now," are "put oyer"
with considerable unction. Clare
Evans, as Jeremiah Chase, carries
most of the comedy element of the
show, while Joseph B. Mills and Mon
roe Lockwood, as rural minions of the
law, increase the merriment.1 Miss
Manell, as Captain McFec, of the
home guards, had better have a care
or she may be enlisted to lead the
"Dandy Sixth."
There are thirty-one mus'eal num
bers in the long and entertaining pro
gram and ' every number has some
distinctive merit. Emil Hofman is
back as orchestra leader at the Gay
ety.

Bevo is a great favorite in the Army Canteens, where none
but pure, soft drinks may be sold. After drill or march,
you are sure to see a long line of hot and dusty-throated
soldier boys making a bee-line for Bevo. They know that
there lies complete satisfaction, full refreshment and pure
wholesomeness.
At home or abroad at work or play between meals
or with meals, you will appreciate what we have done for
you in making this triumph in soft drinks.
You will find Bevo at inns, restaurants, groceries, depart
