. Omaha suffrage workers are partic
ularly interested in the war savings
stamps campaign on account of the
active partue of their number has
in popularizing the movement
Miss Jane Thompson, the Cfiicago
girl -who, it will be remembered,
worked as a suffrage organizer in the
last Nebraska campaign,' co-starring
with Elsie Vandergrift Benedict, is
the young women in question.
V When the New York campaign
was won Miss Thompson gaVe up
suffrage work and, being a very pro
gressive young lady, went into busi
ness gellinr bonds for one qJ the large
New York bond companies. That
she was successful and soon distin
guished herself in her new field goes
without savin. . ,
Frank Vanderlip, head of the war I
savings committee, when the t plan
was about to be launched sent word
to the five largest bond companies in
the big metropolis each to. send him
their best publicity man. rour men
and a woman came in response. The
woman was Miss Thompson. ,
Mr. Vanderlip outlined his 'plana
and instructed each one to return in
24 hours with their best publicity
plans. They did, and it wa Miss
Thompson's to which the big banker
put his Q. K. , V
' Miss Thompson's plan was to paint
all the large billboards in New York
a solid white. On this background
she had "W."S. S." printed inj large
red letters. The mystic three initials
appeared one. morning and all New
York wondered what it might be.
When all Manhattan knew the let
ters the rest of the words were in
serted, "War Savings Stamps."'
Mr. Vanderlip was so impressed
with her publicity schemes that he
1 named her tf head this work for the
country-wide campaign and so she
has been doing.
Miss Thompson was the guest of
the Charles Hardings while she was
in Omaha. She was a Vassar class
mate of Miss Carolyn Hardin;, now
Mrs. Justus Lowe.

DOES it seem possible you that some child 'steps in your steps all the

It is true I :- ;v ' J
Every grown man or woman is' the idol of some' child's heart And
from your example today some child is'building it's tomorrow..
No person can stand alone. Life was not planned that wav. It takes
billions of atoms to make a whole and billions upon billions of souls to
make humanity. Each has its higher affinity and each its following.
- No man . or woman can. commit sin and suffer alone. Every sin is a
ioal for which mmt child is striving. No man or woman can lead an ideally
beautiful life without affinitizing the younger' born and lifting them to a
higher plane. . ' , , ",
.Children do not always tell of their idols indeed, they do not always"
know that they have them, but careful analysis of their actions will dis
close the secret'" ; :. -' r ' '-''''""' '
.Does iUOt sub you with daggers of reproach to know that some child
"steps in your, steps all the way" when you have led an idle, sinful life?,
. And what a blessing it musf be one who has (led a noble existence to
learn that an innocent little soul has held that as an idol. ' -
, Some little feet;are stepping in our footsteps all the way. What kind
of prints are we leaving for them. to follow? '',.,' .. . -

February Mother's Magazine. There
is a great deal to be said in igvbr ,.ef
this use pi. time, and the women of
America would do well to universal
ly observe the tea hour as a time of
relaxation. Throughout the country
there might be established the cus
tom of completing, the heavier duties
ofJrhe (lav at 4 o'clor.k. and attending
after that td lighter duties that would
result m tb, betterment of " all. A
cup of tea sustains and cheers as
nothing, else does moreover, it As

thoughts and occupations if only for
a few moments.: , ; . .
A"s;rouo of women determined to
make .better use of time could easily
devote the late afternoon hours, to
their Red Cross .work, separating the
time .set apart for that service from
the earlier hours cf the day, and. over
the teacups - gain relaxation that
would , be of assistance iri, their pa
triotic work. Many thousands of '.our
women observe tne tea hour, but
many, more thousands need" to . 'be
emancipated from, duties, to which
they are accustomed to eive'all the
