Hundreds upon hundreds-we could even
sav thousands have attended thi3 greatest
sale in our estimation Omaha has ever seen.
It is needless to say what the values are.
Your neighbor who has been here can tell
you more than this whole page written
Dyus. .
The Reason for This Sale
. Our heating has been from a forced hot
air system. During a period of 90 days past
our heat has been forced into our rooms
loaded with smoke. It noticeably soiled all
of the lighj; colored garments. We , asked
the First National Bank what to do. hey
said: "Sell them and we will allow you a
part." The House of Menagh stands the
balance. YOU GET THE BENEFIT i
Saturday we will offer approximately
1,400 garments for sale. We cannot hope to
sell only the best values in the stocks, so if
you want the best selections, come early.

At another pLce a hail of machine
gun bullets was effective.
One. two or possibly three snip
ers' posts are still in front of the
American positions, but they are not
likely to be there long.
U. S. Tactics Anger Germans.
The American artillery is keeping
up a harassing fire on the German
lines, bombarding batteries, trenches,
cross roads, dugouts, light railways
and houses in which enemy troops
are billeted.
Evidently the American tactics an
gered the Germans, for they started
a vigorous shelling of our batteries
with 77s, the firing" stopping only
when the American heavy guns si
lenced the German artillery.
Early today observers saw a body
of enemy infantry, estimated at two
battalions, near a forest.
A heavy fire was directed on the
spot, scattering the Germans.
It is felt certain that the enemy sus
tained numerous casualties.
Later American shells started a fire
in a German town, which burned for
an hour.

Washington, Feb. 8. Continue im

the heatless Monday program after
its enforcement next Monday, Fuel
Administrator Garfield announced to
night.
Dr. Garfield was more hopeful over
the general Outlook tonight than at
any time for week past. Although
there is danger of floods from melt
ing snows and consequent interfer
ence with traffic, he thinks warmer
weather will bring a far better situa
tion than has existed during the re
cent cold spell.

statement today by John B. Elliott,
collector of customs, who is acting as

reasons for the censorship. It was
said by motion picture men that in
some instances scenes which might

NO TICE!
To the Personal Tax Payers of Douglas County:
I shall very much regret to issue distress warrants
to the sheriff for collection of the 1917 county and 1917
city delinquent personal taxes on February 1st, as pro
vided by Section 6483, Statutes of Nebraska. It would
only add additional cost and expenses to said taxes.
For the benefit of the tax payers, I will extend the
time for paying these taxes to February 15th. Please
pay them now, if you believe in conservation.
