National Registration for Women
"Orders for Mobilization"
Women of America, Attention!
The hour is at hand! A million
bugles sound the call!
The United States is asking its
women to do their bit for the common
cause. The Council of National De- j
fense through its women's committee i
calls for the registration of the women
of tire nation. Governor Neville of j
Nebraska has accordingly issued an j
official proclamation fixing September
. 12, next, as the day when women may
add their names to the nation's roll
of honor. On that day 300,000 Nebras
ka women should march to the voting
precincts in which they live to vol
unteer to do something for this, their
own United States. On June 5 the
men of this state nobly did their duty.
On September 12 the women will vol
untarily say: "Here we are, Uncle
Sam, give us something to do!"
The plan is simple. In every foting
precinct in th country registrars have
been appointed, On September 12 the
women of Nebraska will go to 'the
same places to register where the men
vote and where the men registered.
Every woman over 16 may and should
register. The registration cards show
154 different kinds of servicel You will
be asked what you can do and how
much you are willing to do. Can you
"bake a cherry pie for Billy boy," or
cook, tew, scrub, knit, farm, raise
garden, keep house, solicit money,
drive an automobile, nurse, manage.
entertain, or do anything under the
sun? Every woman can do something
and tha't something will be of real
assistance to this country. Nothing
is too small or too humble. Everything
is needed everything will be used.
It doesn't matter what nationality
you spring from or whether you speak
English. You can do your mite, that
is important. Ask your husband,
father, brother, or any man member
of the family, or a neighbor, where
he votes and go to that same place on
September 12. The women of Russia
have donned khaki and are fighting
at the front. You won't be asked or
expected to handle guns this time, but
you can help win the war at home.
This registration is official and its
results will be reported to the govern
ment. The eyes of the world are upon
you. You can maket he enemy tremble.
You wont be shot if you tail or re
fuse to register, but sooner of later

yourself if you don't heed the call on
September 12. Tell your family,
friends, neighbors, acquaintances,

Strange Mixup Causes the Wrong
Body to Be Buried in Omaha Grave
A strange mixup !of dead bodies
was brought to light in county court
when facts came to light on the bury
ing of Clinton Daniel, negro, in
Omaha July 12.
Banks & Wilkes, undertakers, met
a train and got "a body they believed
was that of William Gray, who was
drowned at Central City July 7, This
was on July 12. Wilkes was appointed
special administrator of Gray's "es
tate," which totaled $60.
But it now developes that the un
dertakers buried the body of Clinton
Daniel, negro, who died at Mercer,
Neb., on the same day that Gray, a
white man, died at Charles City.
Banks & Wilkes thought they were
burying Gray's body, but Jn reality
they were .burying that of Daniel.
Gray's body was sent through to
Evansville, 111., and the undertakers'
expenses were already paid at Cen
tral City.
Wilkes will now have to refund $50
funeral expenses on Daniels' body to
the Union Pacific, which will give the
money to Gray's father.
In other words, the undertakers
collected the money out of Gray's es
tate to pay the funeral expenses, of
Daniel. s
The mixup was occasioned by the
sending of the wrong telegram to
Omaha authorities, who in turn noti
fied th undertakers to take charge of
a body. ,
