Liberty Loaira
If there is the slightest doubt in
any one's mind as to why they should
not invest in Liberty bonds in the
third campaign, let them read the tea
sons given by school children of Ne
braska in their prize contest letters to
tht Omaha Bee.
T. C. Byrne, state chairman of the
Liberty loan committee, is offering
9100 in cash pnzes and The Bee five
additional prizes for the best 50-word
paragraphs "explaining why the third
Liberty loan bonds should be pur
chased. The contest closes May 1.
Here are some of the letters:
Why People Should Buy Liberty
- . Bonds.
By Betty Seward, Lake School, Agei 13
Omaha, Neb., Eighth B Grade, Miss
Roys, Teacher.
I think the reason people should
purchase Liberty bonds of the third
Liberty loan is to show how much you
itand by your president, country and
flag. Also as the old saying goes,
wnere your money is, so is your
heart And I believe it is so with
sverybody who buys Liberty bonds.
Remember Belgium!
VI t man Swlhart, Age II, 1330 South Twenty
aixth Street, Park School, Omaha,
. ' Neta. Miss Is'ewcomb, Teacher.
' - Remember the fate of Belgium. The
Huns would delight in repeating their
barbarous acts in America. Will you
let them? No! Then give tHl it
pinches. Buy bonds so the onward
iiarch of the most cruel despot may
oe checked. Our future depends on it
Liberty Bonds.
By Ross Vranek, Aged 14. 1711 South
Eleventh street, Omaha, Neb., Lincoln
School, Eighth Grade, Class A, Miss
Charde, Teacher.
Every person should have enthu
siasm enough to help buy Liberty
ootids, lhink of the terrible things
ihe "Beast of Berlin" has done. Then
wny not neip in any way to win.
Americans, get a little more "pep1
in yourselves and see what you can
.do. Bonds are a great part of this
war. Don't try to be behind in this
espeet.
The Third Liberty Loan.
3y Zelma Strayer, Aged 12, North Bend
High School, Seventh Grade, Miss
Sovereign, Teacher.
The soldiers need food, clothing,
ammunition, guns and airplanes. How
do, you think they will get these?
They can't unless you help them.
Don't be a slacker. If you can't go
to war, you can buy a bond. Some
have given sons and surely you can
give money.
!; Four Reasons.
By-' Elizabeth Phackelford, 2641 9 Street,
South Omaha, Neb., Corrigan School.
To establish justice, insure tran
quility for the world, provide for the
defense of ourselves and our allies,
enthuse our fighting men, we should
subscribe for the third Liberty loan.
T . More Good Reasons.
By Morris Block, 1811 North Twenty-second
Street, Omaha, Neb., Aged 13, Kellora
School, Eighth Grade, Class A. Miss
Reed, Teacher.
BuyLiberty bonds in order to de
feat autocracy and show the Huns
'.hat -right has conquered over bar
barism; that autocracy will succumb
:o democracy; that we will fight until
the last man, and sacrifice the last
American dollar, but will not bend
ander the tyrant's yoke.
Awake, America! Understand the
situation. Give until it pinches. The
ideals of liberty, equality and frater
nity are at stake. We must win and
.ve will win, if the people of America
answer the call of their country, and
3uy Liberty bonds.

Dissolution Notice
National Surgical
Dressings Unit
Nebraska state chairman, Mrs. O. C.
Redick, authorizes the publication of
the following official statement from
the national surgical dressing commit
tee headquarters, New York City:
"The National Surgical Dressings
committee, an organization which,
since October, 1914, has shipped over
23,000,000 surgical dressings "to the
hospitals of the allies, and which vol
untarily turned over its distributing
bureaus in Paris and Rome for the
use of the Red Cross in France and
Italy, will cease to exist on May 1,
1918. This action was taken by the
executive committee in consideration
of the following facts:
"First Since America entered the
war the Red Cross has so increased
its membership and activities that it
is now able to manufacture a suffi
cient number of dressings for the
present needs of the American and
allied hospitals.
"Second The American shipping
situation is becoming daily more seri
ous and the Red Cross has found it
necessary to limit the output of sur
gical dressings for French hospitals
(the special work of this committee)
to an amount requisitioned monthly
by the Red Cross commission in
Paris.
"The National Surgical Dressings
committee believes that in voluntarily
taking this action at the time of its
greatest financial prosperity and pro
ductive power it is upholding the
principles of the Red Cross in a true
spirit of patriotism.
The War Relief society, the local
unit working under this organization,
recently resolved itself into an auxil
iary to Omaha Red Cross chapter.
Rev. Titus Lowe will address the

Red Cross Chairman No. 3
MRS. FRANK
On request of her friends, who know how faithfully she has served the
Red Cross, The Bee today pictures Mrs. Frank L. Furness, chairman of the
auxiliary composed of trainmen's wives. This unit meets every ihuis
in the Masonic temple to make hospital garments. There are 25 women m
the section.
. Mrs. Furness is active in other branches of Red Cross service as well,
giving many hours each week to the public workshop, the state warehouse
and the salvage department.
Like most women who find time to do a great deal of good work, Mrs.
Furness manages to find a wee bit more time for still other activities. She
is president of the Dorcas club, which sews for South Side cases of the As
sociated Charities, having turned out about 200 garments, and she is active
in the Omaha Hive, Ladies of the Maccabees.
Mrs. Furness also served on the committee for the recent rummage sale
of left-over clothing, the proceeds of which went to Belgian children.

Dance for Soldiers
At the Khaki Club
Recruits are wanted for the Com
rade club I You won't have to pass
any examinations, nor will you have
to fill out questionnaire! All you need
is a desire to entertain the strangers
in khaki within our gates. One of
these clubs organized in New York
has been a great success and now the
Service League of Omaha is endeavor
ing to form one here. A hundred and
fifty girls are wanted to join the club
and attend the dancing parties, which
will be given every Saturday eve
ning at the Khaki club.
The Rotary club has given the club
house for the affairs, the first one to
be given this week-end. The men

guests at the first affair, but the Fort
Crook men will also be entertained
at later dates. The soldiers will not
escort the girls home however, a
rule of the club being that they must
come and go by themselves.
