Gayety Theater Raises Big Amount to Aid in War Work The dimes, quarters, halves and dol lars that audiences at the Gayety theater have been dropping in the baskets passed by chorus girls from time to time all season, directly after an urgent explanation from the stage as to what the money was for, have all been added up now that the Gayety's season of 1917-18 is ancient history and the sum total can but give the generous hearted patrons of the theater and all Omaha, for that mat ter much satisfaction. The, gross amount of the various funds which were boosted by Manager Johnson and his assistants-xamounts to $J,900J9. The funds participating in the benefits and the respective amounts collected for them were as follows: Smokes for Sammies, $2, 871.31; smileage books. $1,707.07; Red Star AnimaLJtelief, $1,146.29; poor kiddies Chrfstmas fund, $1,176.12. No knowledge is available of any other theater in the country having made any similar effort Anyway, the effort and the result plainly demonstrates that 100 per cent pa triotism exists at the Gayety theater. Liberty bonds, to the extent of sev eral thousand dollars were also sold in the theater. Contrary to the pre diction of well-meaning people the fact of taking up the collections was welcomed by the theater's patrons as proven by the magnificent result ob tained. It surely appears that felicitation is due the Gayety theater. HOGS AND CATTLE SWELL BED GROSS FUND OVER STATE A shipment of live stock, donat ed by farmers in the vicinity of Pierce, Neb., to be sold for the benefit of the Pierce chapter of the Red Cross, arrived Saturday at the South Side market.

The load was collected through the efforts of Flotan Fuchs, an old-time shipper to the Omaha market, and Dan Duff and Herman Buchendahl, farmers near Pierce. Several farm ers whose hogs had already gone to market, gave their checks, which were used to buy more tiogs for the ship ment. The Laird Live Stock Commission company handled the shipment with out charge.

It is quite probable that those who buy now will soon be offered premiums for their cars by those who will then want Super-Sixes. Present conditions indicate as much. Motor cars are now required for more and more needs. Restricted railway facilities make their use more imperative than ever. The production of cars'is diminishing. Good cars are in great demand. Prices on some have already been advanced for the second time within the past six months. Reduced production is responsible. Cars which have proved their reliability are in first demand. Their supply will be the first to give out. For two and a half-years the Super-Six has led all other fine cars in the volume of sales. More than 50,000 users know its reliability. There is no doubt about the Super-Six except how long you will be able to -get one. , Prompt delivery can now be made of several of the ten different body types. GUY- L.
