OMAHA LOAN COMPANY Urges Growing of Alfalfa On Vacant Lots in Omaha Regarding the use of vacant lots and the possibility of beautifying the city, G. G. Wallace, secretary of the Oma ha Real Estate board says: "There is a growing sentiment among real estate people that the present method of . handling vacant lots and blocks is obsolete. The idea of leasing lots for $1 a lot simply to pay for the care required and to pre vent some squatter from getting pos session' is childish. While a well-conducted garden on a vacant lot is an advantage both to the gardener and the landlord, in that it keeps the lot attractve in appearance, this method can be improved upon. For some years one or two of the leading real tors have been uring the sowing of alfalfa or other similar crops, but no conceited, effort has takeu place. There is a disposition now, under the changed sentiment as to the proper care of a city, to beautify vacant and unoccupied property, especially if it is with a crop which can be made reasonably profitable or sufficient to pay expenses. With the high price of alfalfa and of alfalfa seed, it is argued that if every vacant lot in Omaha were sown down in this forage crop, that the city would be additionally beautified in another year, and not only the expense would be paid from the harvest, but considerable profit. It is recited that those who have care fully gardened, or have made proper efforts to get a crop result out of lots or blocks this year, have made well. 5"he ordinary block contains about five acres. This ought to bring in al falfa clear, in a season at least $100 and at present prices much more. Con certed effort on the part of owners of vacant lots, especially the larger tracts, and the real estate agents would do much to add to the growing attractiveness of the city and the profits pi the property." Farewell Meeting for Hibernians' Soldiers The Hibernian divisions of Omaha field a special farewell meeting Friday in honor of Edward McDermott and Daniel Devlin, who leave in a few days for the officers' training camp at Fort Snelling, Minn. Dr. Thomas Mullen presided over .the meeting, at which several speeches were made, commending the young men for their patriotic action and example, Mr. McDermott, who is state sec retary of the Ancient Order of Hiber nians, recently was graduated from the Creighton Law school, while Mr. Devlin is a man of unusually wide mil itary experience, having served as captain in the crack Irish-American regiment, the Sixty-ninth New York, throughout the Spanish-American war. He was later commissioned a major in -the same regiment. Both men were assured that the Hibernians left at home would not forget their brothers in the field. An nouncement was made that the Ideal divisions had not only raised their as sessment for the $1,000,000 war fund, proposed by the Hibernian national committee, but had appointed com mittees to look after war relief work of a purely local character. Colonel P. C. Heafey on behalf of the other members presented gifts to the future officers, who left Saturday for Fort Snelilng.

With his handicap of four he finished 7 up on the colonel. Reynolds played par golf except on the last two holes. He played both 17 and 18 one over par. As it was, his score was only one above par, and if he had played the same kind of golf on 17 and 18, he would have finished one under par. Reynolds, J. W. Hughes, M. T. Swartz and H. C.

VISITING NURSES WILL HOLDTAG DAY To Attempt to Raise $5,000 for Guardians of Public Health Here on Wednesday, Sep tember Fifth. The Visiting Nurse association of Omaha will hold its annual tag day Wednesday, September 5. Last year the association received $4,500; this year the objective amount is $5,000. "What is a visiting nurse?" was asked of Bessie H. kandall, R. N., superintendent of the association. Her reply follows: "Familiar as the appearance of the visiting nurse has become about the streets of Omaha, the question, 'What is a visiting nurse?' is constantly asked. "A visiting nurse is a graduate reg- istered nurse employed by the Visiting Nurse association to give to the poor and those of moderate means the best home nursing possible, always under the direction of a physician. They re spond to all calls, irrespective of color, race or creed. Age of Prevention. "As this is fast becoming an age of prevention, the visiting nurse finds that her greatest work lies along the line of prevention, that is, to teach 'how and 'why.' She teaches patient ly and untiringly the laws of sanita tion and hygiene, together with her nursing care. Every visit in the home is one of demonstration and instruc tion, as some one in the home must be taught how to care for the patient during the nurse's absence, or until she makes her next call. "The visiting nurse, in her blue uni form, represents a staff of skilled pub lic health nurses, co-operating with every charitable organization in the city and every state institution. They represent the very highest type of womanhood, and their willingness and kindness, together with their skilled work, has won them thousands of friends among the poor of Omaha." No Sympathy for the , Coal Man From Copenharve The local coal dealers who desire to have their present high prices sus tained until they can unload their bins of high priced coal upon the con sumers, are getting no sympathy from I. J. Copenharve of the South Side. Copenharve says he simply voices the sentiment of every con sumer he has talked to, when he says that last year the coal dealers made enough profit on coal they bought cheap to afford to lose a little this year. "Last year they filled their yards with coal bought to retail at $11 for hard coal and $6.50 for soft," says Copenharve. Then later they got to gether and raised the price to $14 for hard coal and up as high as $9 for soft coat. J? BE SLOAN RETURNS TO WASHINGTON Says Important War Legisla tion Will Be Brought Before the Lower House at Monday Session. I "The crown prince of Germany re- I ....,!.. (Tl. . -.1- ,i .cim,y saiu; 1 lie suon'.ariiie is me last argument of kings,'" said Con gressman Charles II. Sloan of the Fourth Nebraska district, in Omaha Saturday. "If that crown prince is not very careful the submarine will prove the argument of the last king instead. "The fight against submarines will be a process of development and in vention. When the war first broke out the allies were faced with the problem of combatting the Zeppelins, the big Krupp guns, the poisonous gas and other methods new and hor rible, but gradually they developed inventions to counteract their effect. It will be so with the submarine." Congressman Sloan left last night for Washington after spending some days in Nebraska, since the house by a kind of gentleman's agreement dis banded for a short time without for mal adjournment, just to let the sen ate catch up with some of the work on which the house is far ahead of the upper chamber. Prepare New Bond Issue. Monday morning the house mem bers will get together for work again and the ways and means com mittee, of which Congressman Sloan is a member, will begin consideration of the proposed new bond issue. .Buy From These Omaha Firms Premium Oleomargarine Sweet Pure Clean Will Cut Your Butter Bill in Half Sold By All Dealer SWIFT & COMPANY WASTE BEST GRADE NO. 1 WHITE 151-8c BALE LOTS Bemis Omaha Bag Co.

According to Congressman Sloan, there are, besides the bond issue, two other major pieces of legislation that will tome up almost immediately, one, the consideration of an insurance and compensation law to take the place of the pension system for the sol diers, and the other the revenue bill, which he believes the senate will now pass very soon. Mr. Sloan has been spending all his spare moments for some time in a close study of the subject of the prevalence of tuberculosis among live stock. He says he intends soon to introduce a bill providing for closer operation between the federal and the state governments in an effort to stamp out this disease, through the three principal means, care in breed ing, sanitation and quarantining. Added Letter Carriers Deliver Mail on Time Postmaster Fanning says there has been such an improvement in the de livery service since seven new car riers were added to the force two weeks ago that he has received nu merous congratulations by telephone and letter. "These carriers have been put on in the business district," he said, "and have been just about enough to give us a force that can make all scheduled deliveries. All carriers now make their scheduled deliveries and have to work only eight hours to do it. "We have the promise of still more carriers soon. There are now thirty on the substitute list and there is enough work so that they are called on practically every day and make as much money as regular carriers. We soon will have a list of new eligible, being those who passed the recent ex aminations for carriers." no Omaha Now a Big Purchase of Several carloads of army supplies and equipment are being shipped out of Omaha every day. The quarter master's department in Omaha is one of the largest in the country. Colonel Grant of the quartermaster depot has a large force of clerks working almost night and day receiv ing and shipping. The government desires to buy all supplies at the most convenient point, and for that reason, other things being equal, Oma ha will be given preference in the matter of the purchase of supplies. Many of the Omaha factories are working to capacity all the time turn ing out goods for the army. The tent and awning factories, for example, are exceptionally busy turning out army tents, kits, feed bags, and many other articles of canvas for use in the army. It is understood that an $80,000 order was recently divided between the tent and awning companies of Omaha, and these are working at full capacity.

Duryea, president; Mrs. Seth Rarton French and Mrs. J. Borden Harriman, vice presidents, and Mrs. Charles H. Dit son, secretary, had its first inception and first organization at Dinard, France, immediately after the out break of hostilities in August, 1914. Later, as the work became systema tized and received the official recog nition of the French government, its headquarters were removed to Paris. It is now established at 11 rue Louis le Grand, in quarters loaned by the Viscount de Saint-Seine. There is a volunteer corps of thirty work ers. The Belgian government has given the services of two soldiers: the oLU Center for the Supplies for Army ernment are growing more and more wide awake to the fact that Uncle Sam is a large consumer .when he gets his war paint on. Here is another illustration of the things that are likely to be over looked. Last week Commissioner Manley learned that there Was urgent need of a large number of strong wooden chests out at Fort Omaha. These chests are to be used in conveying the instruments, ropes, stakes and other paraphernalia con nected with the balloon department of the service. The officer in charge had been unable to get any Omaha firm really interested in the contract and was about to send out of town to have the chests made. Commissioner Manley asked the industrial secretary of the Commercial club to take .hold of the matter. Within two hours Mr. Gillaa had a local planing mill fore man out to Fort Omaha getting the plans and specifications for these chests and the result was an order for about 600 of the chests, which will be rushed right through.
