third avenue. Omaha:
I love my Flag with all my heart,
It means so much to me;
And then our fair sex may salute it
IJow happy I will be.
Now Uncle Jim and brother Charles
Pay homage "hat in hand;"
So I desire to more than cheer
The emblem of our land.
Just think how splendid it would be
For women folks so grand,
To reverently salute the flag,
And so a way I've planned.
Would Think of Friends.
Miss Johnson's suggestion follows:
"Eyes raised to flag, right hand in
perpendicular position with palm
forward, placed half way between
right eye and right ear, one inch from
head, finger tips on level with top
of head."

COURT FIGHT TO
KEEP DAUGHTER
Private Elden Cunningham
Makes Hurried Trip , to
Omaha and Starts Habeas
Corpus Proceedings.
A letter from his former wife which
aroused his suspicions caused Private
F.lden Cunningham to make a hurried
trip to Omaha from Camp Johnston,
Jacksonville, Fla.
"Would you take baby away if I
were to get married?" was the ques
tion which caused Cunningham to
hurry to Omaha. On his arrival here
he immediately started habeas corpus
proceedings in district court for the
custody of Genevieve, their 3-year-old
daughter.
The Cunninghams were divorced
December o. 1916, and he was given
custody of their little daughter. Then
came the war and Cunningham en
listed. The last letter to him from
his former wife told how the little
tot was learning to talk and its first
sentence had been, "My papa is a
Sammy."
Inquires About Child.
Frequent reference to Leo Agnew,
with whom she was keeping com
pany, and the assertion that if he
would not take the child from her
she would marry Agnew. aroused
Cunningham s suspicions.
Agnew and Mrs. Cunningham were
married in Council Bluffs recently.
Judge Reditk decided that the child
was in a good home at 424 South
Twentieth street, and as Cunningham
was in the army it would be to the
best interest of the child to allow it
to remain there.
Cunningham has returned to Flor
ida, it was his wish that the child
be cared for by his parents, who re
side in Loup City, Neb.
