    THE BEE: OMAHA, r'KlDAY, AfKlL 12. 1U1S.
TO DISTRIBUTE
CARLOAD GRAPE
YINESIN OMAHA
Fruit Growers to Take Majority
of Output; Remainder to Be
Distributed at Auditorium.
A carload of grape vines ordered
fast month by Robert Trimble, chair
man' of the fruit marketing committee
of the Chamber of Commerce, has ar
rived in Omaha and is ready for dis
tribution to growers. This is an ef
fort on the part of the Chamber of
Commerce to get people to restore
their vineyards, which were practi
cally wiped out by the freeze of win
ter before last.
The Chamber of Commerce be
lieves that by the distribution of over
200,000 grape vines the grape-growing
industry will be placed on a better
footing than ever before. '
The Fruit Growers' association,
through its membership, will take
about three-fourths of the car, and the
remaining 50,000 or 60,000 will be
distributed at the Auditorium Satur
day, April 13, from 9 a. m. to 6 p. m.
All who have placed advance or
ders for vines should call at the Au
ditorium early to be sure they get
' their vines. Postal card notices are
being sent out by the Chamber of
Commerce. Vines on hand and not
ordered will be sold to "first come
first served."
Two classes of vines were original
ly ordered, Concords and Moofes
Early, but the Moores Early supply
-was cut short, so practically all the
vines to be sold Saturday will be
Concords.
Firemen Make Run Through
Streets to Boost Bond Drive
Firemen stationed in the down
town district rushed up to the Ne
braska Clothing company store at
noon Thursday and after running lad
ders to the third floor, hoisted signs
reading "Buy a Bond Today," "Fight
or Finance" and similar Liberty loan
campaign slogans.
A. V. Shotwell and Joe Votava,
four-minute speakers, addressed the
crowd from the top of big fire trucks
on Fifteenth and Farnam streets.
From the windows of the third floor
signs were lowered boosting the cam
paign, and firemen on the ladders
carried other signs.
.The idea was conceived by Wrl
Ham M. Holzman of the Nebraska
i Clothing company, who is an active
worker among bond salesmen.
f A realistic touch was added to the
affair by the actions of the firemen,
who raced into the building with their
hose lines. People rushed to the
scene from neighboring streets and
traffic was suspended for a short time
while the speakers delivered their
messages.
Mrs. Margaretha Hinz, Old
Resident of .Nebraska, Dier,
t Mrs. Margaretha Hinz, 61 years
" old, pioneer resident of Nebraska,
died Thursday morning at her home,
624 South Thirteenth street. She had
been in failing health for several
months. Mrs. Hinz came to Omaha
in 1875. She was a member of sev
eral lodges, among them the Ak-Sar-Ben
lodge of the Degree of
Honor, and the German Ladies' so
ciety. She is survived by her husband,
Charles Hinz, a daughter, Mrs. Henry
Stoltenberg; a son, William, and six
grandchildren.
. Funeral services will be held Sun
day afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Con
gregational church, 11 IS Dorcas
street, Rev. Hilkerbaumer officiating.
Interment will be in Evergreen ceme
tery. Fifty-fifty Wheat and
Substitutes is New Plea
Before the war average consump
i tion of wheat substitutes was one
pound to three of flour. Now the
food administration asks that pound
for pound be used. There is not much
difference betweenthree to one and
fifty-fifty, they say. Following are
the only wheat substitutes recognized
by the food administration: Hominy
corn grits, corn meal, corn flour, edi
ble corn starch, barley flour, rolled
oats, oatmeal, rice, rice flour, buck
wheat flour, potato flour, sweet potato
flour, soya bean flour and feterita
flour and meals.
Whole wheat and graham flour may
be sold or osed with 60 per cent of
substitutes.

Council Defers Action on
Naming of Detective Head
A resolution offered by Chief Deni
sey of the police department, recom
mending Sergeant Frank Murphy as
head of the detcctiye department, has
been deferre.i by city council for con
sideration. The chief proposed to promote
Murphy to a captaincy, which is the
usual rank A the officer in charge
of detectives.
Detective-Sergeant Dunn has been
acting captain of detective depart
ment. "I believe that we should consider
length of service and ability of vari
ous members of the department be
fore we act on this," suggested Com
missioner H idler.
Superintendent Kugel has not been
in favor of Murphy for the vacancy,
but further opposition is not ex
pected. s
