of Nebraska."

Ward Burgess Attending
Big Meeting in Washington
Ward Burgess left last night for
Washington, where he was summoned
with other wholesale dry goods men
from all pyer the country to a con
ference, with the economy board of
the National Council of Defense.
"The object of the meeting," he said,
"is to decide which lines can be cut
down, which can, perhaps, be elimi
nated altogether during the war and
whichj should be enlarged.
"I wouldn't be surprised to see the
government set a price on' cotton as
t has on grains. It would be a good
idea to fix prices on various items in
the dry goods line. It i would give
stability to the trade. Jt would show
dry goods men where they stand and
remove the constant uncctainty."
Central High Glee Clubs
Give Red Cross Concert
A concert given by the Central
High School Glee clubs last night in
the school auditorium was successful.
X well balanced program was pre
sented, composed of modern as well
as of classical airs. The chief solo
work was done by Carl Sibbert, who
sang "Celesta Aida" and the "Mise
rere," accompanied by Miss Charlotte
Skidmore and the Boys' Glee club.
the proceeds, amounting to over
$50, are to be donated to the Red
Cross.
The high school orchestra led bv
Eugcn Pakes gave two selections.
The concert was under the supervi
sion of Miss Fannie Arnold and Irv
ing Garwood.
the county food administrator for
Saline county.
Mr. Aller was in Omaha for the
double purpose of getting final in
structions in the matter of food ad
ministration work in his county and
also, to hear Mr. Vanderlip.
Mr. Aller is optimistic over the pos
sibilities of food administration work
in Nebraska. He says the most pleas
ing thing to him is the willing co
operation which the citizens of Saline
county are giving. He states that
he has his organization completed and
will have the work under full direction
within the next week.
"I consider it a privilege to be con
nected with the food administration
work." said Mr. Aller. "Not only
does it provide an opportunity for me
to do my part to help win the war,
but it provides an avenue for me to
engage in constructive work which
will be of immense value to Nebraska.
"The firm, but fair methods of Mr.
Wattles and his big broad ideas of
things make it an easy task to carry
out his policies.
"The people of Saline county are
unanimous in their approval of Mr.
Wattles' methods and believe that his
work will be of lasting benefit to the
state."
Central High Boys and Girls
Make Pads for Wounded
One hundred oakum pads were
made bv 50 of the pupils of the Cen
tral High school after school yes
terday'for the wounded soldiers. The
work was under the supervision of
Miss Ada Atkinson and Mrs. O. C.
Redick. Boys as well as girls were
among those who volunteered for the
work.
At least half of the girls are active
ly engaged in knitting. Monday will
be tag day. Each girl who is working
with some school knitting unit will
wear a tag to distinguish her from
the slackers. A mass meeting with
some clever stunts will be used on
Tuesday to gain publicity.
The girls have been divided into
three battalions of four companies
each, with 40 girls in each battalion.
The first two battalions are full and
the third is carrying on a recruiting
campaign. Miss Ilda Langdon is the

' Now, then, these hangers and brass
pins are expensive and hard to ob-

''may take the money yourself and
turn it in.

sa;

in twenty years
Cbmmencing Monday
December 17th.
So many people are' buying actual necessities
this year instead of luxuries for Xmas that we have
decided to hold another sweeping clearance sale.
This time shoes instead of low shoes and oxfords.
We had a big clean-up in our first sale of summer
shoes. Now we "clean up" our fall and winter
shoes. Not alone winter shoes, but shoes we can
not duplicate, owing to the scarcity of this kind
of leather and our inability to duplicate in good
fitting shoes. We are absolutely cleaning out dis
continued lines and sizes which cannot be reproduced.
Special Lots
All Styles All Leathers
$1.00, $1.95, $2.45
$3.45, $3.95, $4.95
Every pair sold in this sale cannot be
duplicated, as these shoes are made of
leather not hen skin or sheep skin.
So many of our customers asked us if we
would give them a chance to buy our odd line of
high shoes the same as our first sale this summer.
WE WILL Now is your chance to cut your shoe
bill. Buy as many pairs as you can. Some of these
shoes cost you less than having shoes half soled
and heeled.
It Don't Cost Anything to Look Come Early!

(From Staff Correspondent.)
Washington,, Dec. 14. (Special
Telegram.) Controversy has arisen
in Nebraska over the release of Henry
Bliefernick of Burr, Neb., who is al
leged to be a violent alien enemy.
According to an investigation made
by Senator Hitchcock's office, it trans
pires that Tom Allen, United States
district attorney and brother-in-law of
V. J. Bryan, recommended Bliefer
nick's release.
It was further stated today by a
representative of Mr. Hitchcock that
there fs a growing belief the State
Council of Defense of Nebraska is
entirely too lenient in the treatment
of alien enemies. According to a
statement made to Senator Hitch
cock by Assistant Attorney General
O'Brien, he has reason to believe that
much evidence in certain cases has
been withheld from the department in
this city.
