OTHING TO FEAR
FROM FROST YET
Colonel Welsh Says Records
Show Average Time for
Killing Frosts is in
October.
Farmers need have no apprehension
yet about frost, according,) Colonel
Welsh of the weather bureau.
The earliest autumn date on which
killing frost has ever occurred in this
part of the countrv was September
18. That was in 1901. In the fall of
1881 the first killing frost did not ar
rive until November 11.
In thirty-one of the forty-four years
over which the local weather bureau
records extend, the first killing frost
of the fall came some time in Octo
ber. In ten years it came in Septem.
tier, but never earlier than the 18.
And in three years the first killing
irost came m November.
Frost Comes in October.
Since 1903 there has been no killing
trost in any autmun before October
6. Last year the first killing frost
came on October 19 and the year be-
tore on Uctober V.
"The probabilities are, therefore,"
said Colonel Welsh, "that we shan't
have killing frost for at least three or
four weeks. Of course, there may be
some spots, where the land is low,
where frost may strike a little earlier,
But in a general way, the danger of
killing frost is not near, as the weath
er bureau records indicate. A light
frost does little damage and many
iarmers -claim it is beneficial to the
corn, helping it to ripen and harden."
Neville Inspects
Dandy Sixth and
Fighting Fifth
Governor Neville arrived in Omaha
from Lincoln at noon to visit the
soldiers of the Fifth and Sixth regi
ments, who are stationed here, and
who will probably leave for Deming
tomorrow.
Governor Neville was met at the
station by Lieutenant Cecil Cool .of
the Sixth machine gun company, and
was taken by him to the Auditorium,
where he found Major Harries and
his staff awaiting him.
The governor probably will attend
the big military ball to be held to
night in the Auditorium as a farewell
party fonthe Omaha battalion of the
Sixth.
New Officers of Building Owners
Bond Buyers Offer Less
) Than Par for City Bonds
City commissioners were given .a
shock Thursday morning when at the
council session bids for $400,000 in
public improvement bonds author
ized by the last legislature were
opened. Every jjid was below par.
The bonds were to be apportioned
as follows: $100,000 police bonds,
$200,000 sewer bonds, $50,000 park
bonds, $jU,UUU public comfort stations
. bonds. They were advertised 'at 44
per cent.
But the bond market has been shot
to pieces by the war and the adver
tisements failed to produce purchasers
who would pay par for municipal
bonds drawing only 4li per cent in
terest. All bids received were far be
low par. An oral offer to purchase
the bonds at par providing they, paid
44 per cent was made at the council
meeting.
To learn just where they stand the
commissioners decided to invite all
the local bankers and bond men to
appear before the council at 11 a. m.
Friday for the purpose of advising
what action might be taken.
It is believed the council will have
to boost the interest rate in order, to
dispose of the bonds.
Dried Luncheon at
Commercial Club
Luncheon, a delicious luncheon
cooked largely from fruits and vege
tables dried in the various munici
pal drying plants, is to be served Sat
urday noon at the Commercial club
to a group of people who have been
particularly active in the drying cam
paign. The club feels that the drying idea
should be encouraged and in order
to create a wider interest in the work,
at at the 6ame time to demonstrate
the toothsomeness of these dried
fruits and vegetables, the luncheon
was arranged.
Representatives of the welfare
board, heads of the various drying
plants, women who have helped in
the work, officials of the club and
the state food administrator will be
invited. ,
This luncheon will be served in one
of the private dining rooms at the
club. The general Saturday noon
luncheon of the main dining room will
not consist of a menu of dried stuffs.

William M. Ellis of Chicago was
this morning elected president of the
National Building Owners and Man
agers' association, in the closing ses
sion of the convention held at the
Hotel Fontenelle.
L. L. Banks of Pittsburgh was made
vice president, Howard G. Loomis of
Omaha secretary and, Ell Torrance of
Minneapolis treasurer.
Chicago was chosen as the conven
tion city for next year.
Morning conferences and committee
reports occupied the forenoon, and the
officers were elected just before noon.
Some of the building owners and
managers are in favor of giving full
publicity to the earnings of their
buildings, in order that there might
be a better understanding between the
owner and the tenant. Robert H.
Strong of Portland is among those
who favor this plan. He made
strong talk on this point in the course
of the convention. He insisted that
the office building is not so much of
a money maker that the owner or
manager need fear to let the public
know what the profits are. He said,
in fact, the interest made on the
money invested was so small that if
it were generally known it would
create a better understanding between
owner and tenant, and would result in
less friction and less complaint in re
gard to rents.

adjusted and into the routine at the
cam;).
The Commercial club took this ad
vance precaution because of the ex
periences the Fourth Nebraska had
on the way to Deming. Colonel Baehr
at that time telegraphed the Commer
cial club from somewhere in Texas
asking that some of the money be
forwarded by telegram to furnish the
boys with sandwiches, as they were
delayed enroute far from the town
where their mess had been prepared
for them.
Ask Habeas Corpus Writ
For Myer and Davis
Attorneys for Morris Myer and
Harry Davis have filed a writ of
habeas corpus wherein Chief of Po
lice Dunn and Assistant Chief Demp
sey are the defendants.
It is alleged that they are being
held against their constitutional rights
by Omaha police for Sheriff Martin
of Monona county, Iowa, on a burg
lary charge. Governor Harding of
Iowa has issued requisition papers
and 'Governor Neville has signed a
warrant and turned it over th Sheriff
