First Installment of Question naires Must Be Returned by Tonight; Officials Buried With Work. . ' Saturday was the last day regis trants can return the first installment of questionnaires that were mailed out last Saturday. There is a strict penalty for those uho fail or neglect to do so. Draft officials and clerks are almost buried under an avalanche of work, which is being supplemented daily by the return of questionnaires filled out by registrants who do not understand, apparently, just how to frame the correct answers to the in numerable questions. Up till Friday 4.2(X) questionnaires had been mailed to reKistrauf.s. Of this number less than one-lottrth j have been properly tilled out and re- j turned, but a greater number have been sent back to the boards by the j postomce, ti account of nondelivery, j The registrants, when making a j change of location, neglect to notify j the proper board. Many question-) uaires are being returned bearing the natation, "in the service," but just where they are located or when they enlisted is a matter of conjecture. Lawyers Work in Relays. More, than 200 lawyers working in relays oi SO are active units of the b'gal advisory bor.rd. and, in addi tion to this number, the legal advis ors of the Union 1'acitic, Burlington j and the street railway are acting in the same capacity to employes of the corporations. Registrants who received their questionnaires Monday are making haste to slip in under the wire by to night, as is indicated by the extremely large number winch flocked to the court house early-this morning and were in waiting for the legal advis ory board to get into session. Report Wool Buyers Are Bidding 70 Cents a Pound : Omaha railroad officials report llmt j wool buyers are circulating anion j the flockmasters of western Ne-' braska, Colorado and Wyoming, of fering to contract the wool clip of next spring at 70 cents a pound. How- J ever, it is said that they are not meet ing with much success on account of the sheep men being inclined to hold for still higher prices. Prices offered for the 1918 wool clip are about double those of la :t year and are many times more than those of the years prior to the war. During those years the western wool sold at 19 to 28 cents a pound, with the last named price the top for wool of the best grade. It is said that when sheepmen sold their wool clip at 26 to 28 cents a pound, they figured that they were making an enormus profit. The prices, on sheep, especially the ewes for breeding purposes, has ad vanced fully as much as the wool. Ewes during the years, prior to the war sold on the range at $5 for fairly ifOoQ animals and $7 for those that Avere prime stock. At this time $18 lo $20 each is being offered for breed ing ewes, v. iiarry E. Patterson Dies ; At Home of Brother in East Harry E.

Iiou PH Margaret and Her Good Fairy One mid-summer night the little fairies were dancing on the mossy green banks of the River Shannon they were all dressed in green and carried dear little boquets of sham rocks. When the sun began to peep over the hilltop one little fairy said, "Goodbye, sisters, you will never see me again so many of my little girls have left Ireland and I am going to try to find thejn." Se she flew right over to the United States, and one day she heard little Margaret Emery wishing, oh, so hard, for a green coat and bonnet, and the little fairy said to herself, "She loves green so dearly she must be one of my little girls, so I am going to be her fairy god-mother." From that day Margaret's every wish was granted. Last week she wished for a Bee dollie and sure enough she was one of the lucky winners, and when she came down to The Bee office for her dollie she found a sweet little Irish dollie waiting for her. Now Margaret is the happiest little girl in Omaha.
