attempt to have the committee en
dorse plan for calling a conference

real live wire to head the state
ticket ' ,
Endorsement of some candidate for
the United States senate upon whom
republican can unite is also hinted
way be attempted by the opponents
of both Norria and Sloan,

Building Contractors
Scarce in Tecumseh
Tecumseh, Neb., March 5. (Spe
cial.) Looks as though there, will be
little building in Tecumseh and
vicinity this year. Persons contem
plating the erection of houses find
they can get no carpenter or con
tractors to guarantee to go ahead with
the work, as so many of them are ar
ranging to go into the ship building
work for the government.
The following mechanics in Te
cumseh have volunteered their serv
ices and eypect to go to the Puget
Sound yards early in May: E. W.
Cook, Clarence Hazen, T. B. Nichols,
T. J. Buckley, L. M. Dolph, J. T.
Clark, Frank Hill, Frank li. Wright,
Maynard Dunlap, C, E. Lutcavish, A.

Dr. J. M. Curtis, who volunteered
in the medical department of the
army several weeks ago has been
called for service and is to report at
Fort Riley, Kan., within the next 10
days. . .
At a recent sale of pure bred JJuroc
Terxev sows, held in Tecumseh bv
W, M. Putman and Son, a fine sow
was sold to Ortell Lininger of Fair
fax, Mo., for the long price of $1,325.
Mr. Lininger commented upon the
price, but was of the opinion he had
made a good buy.
He has written the former owner
of the sow that she has farrowed 15
fine pigs. Two nurse sows have been
secured to help care for the pigs, and
Mr. Lininger states that, from the
standpoint of excellent breeding, he
hopes to realize $7,500 from the lot
by another winter. j

signed, asking that tne county com
missioners call an .election immedi-
atolv tn vnt hnnds in the sum of

Four days were spent in schools

men who because of physical disabili
ties are unable to continue the work
for which they had had previous train
ing schools, for convalescents which
depend largely upon psychology for
treatment, and industrial schools
where trades are taught, and Red
Cross work. Canadians say that the
war must leave no "social or economic
cripples.

THE BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY, MARCH
DRAFTED MEN GO
THROUGH TO CAMP
Some From Western Nebraska
Are Delayed and Spend Night
as Guests of Capital
City.
, (From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, March 6. (Special.) One
delegation of drafted men, consisting
of 26 men from Custer county, 4
from Box Butte, 3 from Blaine, 3
from Grant, 1 from Thomas and 9
from Morrill, arrived too late yester
day for the . special Funston train
and were taken in hand by the Lin
coln Commercial club, taken to an
evening show by Captain Swartz of
the entertainment committee and then
given rooms at the Lindell hotel,
where they received their supper and
breakfast and left on the 7 o'clock
regular train over the Union Pacific
this morning.
Though no colored men are ex
pected to be called in this draft, the
delegation had with them "Sam," a
colored man from Custer county, who
for some reason had been included
in the call and accompanied the men.
He was the life of the 'company and
kept many a boy from feeling sad by
his natural ability to create sport.
They all appeared to like him im
mensely.
"The women on my farm will look
after the work while I am gone," said
a' young man from one of the western
counties. "My sister and my mother
are going to handle affairs while I
am gone and will do the ploughing,
planting, cultivating and harvesting
and will have no trouble taking care
of things during my absence. They
told me not to worry, tor everything
would go on all right, and I know
it will."
Another contingent of about 300
men came in this evening over the
Northwestern, over 50 of them being
from South Dakota. s

Oconto Woman Dies in Omaha;
Is Taken Home for Burial
V ' w a, a wa w
Mrs. Harry Redfern, who died in
Omaha after undergoing an opera
tion, was buried Tuesday afternoon.
Rev. F. E. Drum of Lincoln preached
the funeral sermon.
Mrs. Redfern was a daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Horn and had
been married only about three
months.
The four-minute men have organ
ized in Oconto with Postmaster
Bridges as chairman. The local
speakers are Father Moynihan, Rev.
Carries, Orel Jones, C. B. Chumblcy

Mrs. Ed McNuity was taken to

Fire Destroys Store
Building and Stock
RMr. Neh' March 5. (Special.)
nevterville'a store in the northwest

at 4 o'clock Tuesday morning.
The building was insured lor i.tuu,
the stock for $3,200 and the store fix
tures for mo.
The smoothest fraud or most despicable sneak never
fooled his own conscience. i
The man behind a "four flush" depends upon "nerve"
and "luck," and both are bound to fail sooner or later.
It is equally true that the man who REALLY re
spects himself eventually commands the respect of other
sincere people.
Self-respect, however, bears no relation to vanity
the selfish, shallow-minded child of conceit. It is cast in a
different mold, made of sterner stuff it is HONEST
PRIDE, HIGH-MINDED, TRUE TO ITSELF AND TO
OTHERS. '
Self-respect stands as a bulwark against the malice
and slanders of enemies and serves as an admirable
"buffer" against the flattery of too zealous friends. 1
I have never feared the criticism of competitors, nor
avoided the eye of any man, because my personal honesty
has never been questioned, and the proof of my profes
sional honesty and ability is literally "in the mouths of
thousands" of my patients.
When self-rsatisfied incompetence and skeptical in
tolerance sought to discredit both my honesty and ability,
my self-respect never failed me, because I KNEW I WAS
RIGHT, and now the people of Omaha know it, too.
That is one reason why you are enjoying today bet
ter dentistry, reasonable prices, and the elimination of
unnecessary pain.

would have to content itself with
leasing ground at present, but the
higher officials had constantly in mind
a permanently enlarged Fort Omaha.
So far as army officers inspecting
sites in California for balloon pur
poses goes, General Saltzman stated
that there may be officers on such a
mission but only for futflre uses and
not with any intention to be occupied
at this tme.
"This i a big country and balloon
fields may have to be scattered about
just as aviation fields."

resentative Gordon against the senate
joint resolution, ordered favorably re

service of certain classes of persons

a report could be had from the pro

available for immediate military serv

"We would then know if the quotas

Shallenberger.

Benson & "form
A nabon-wide campaign is being launched to increase the
number of small flocks of hens in the United States.
It is a war measure. It is addressed to the city and town
dweller more than to anyone else.
It is a measure of economy. It will supply hundreds of
thousands of families with cheap, clean eggs, raised at home.
It will save food and prevent waste.
The central idea is to utilize the table scraps from every
family table to feed a small flock of hens. The average
family, says the Department of Agriculture, throws away
'enough table scraps to provide an egg for each member of the
family. What is needed are the hens to turn the scraps into
.,. eggs. . - .
Just how this should be done is fully described in an of
V ficial illustrated book, now being distributed free by The Bee.
If you are interested in the possibilities of keeping chickens,
either as a matter of patriotism or of saving money, or both,

"When General Crowder first came
before the commitee he was emphatic
in his statement that it was the inten

office to call first those who had no
visible means of support and those
who could be best spared for army
service. ;
"Now however, General Crowder
looks at the matter from a different
angle. His present position as to se

county lines and is drastic to that ex
tent -
"Then again Nebraska is not to re
ceive credit for its volunteers it be
ing General Crowder's contention
that if volunteers entered the army
who might have fal'cn in Class one,
they should not be credited to that
class because so many selecttves must
come from that .class and if one
county cannot furnish them another
must be called upon to do so.
