Buy Your Ticket
Today Good For a
Drink On Monday
i Would you bring a little music into
the lives of the soldier boys within
our gates or, rather, within the iron
fence at Fort Omaha? Then list to
the pleadings of the pretty girls and
matrons who are selling tickets in
the stores today, for each ticket
means not only a few shekels for the
band at Fort Omaha but a cooling
irink for you.
The National League for Women's
Service originated this unique plan
for raising money and the Sherman
8s McConnell drug company did the
rest. Like a cool, green grotto is
the little shoo where the delicious
undaes and the long drinks in frost
ed glasses may be found and every
one will be eager to use tne ticKeis
bought today on Monday when the
formal opening of the soda fountain
yill take place.
Perhaps velvety creams and ffuity
drinks do not appeal to you, but buy
a ticket nevertheless, for the dime
will go into the fund for the band
Instruments instead of a nickel as
would be the case if you indulged in
a "chocolate down."
Some clever signs have been made
to attract the attention of the passer
Vjr and we were quite nonplussed all
so early in the morning to see Mrs.
Milton Barlow walking briskly down
Farnam street, carefully holding one
of these which urged you, in large
black letters, to "buy a sundae and
help the National' League for Wo
tnen'f Service," which in turn will
help tie soUier boys.
The marriage of Miss Ethel Lillian

H. D. Randell of David City, Neb..
to Dr. G. Bmdewaia, tooK piace Sat
urday evening at the First Methodist
church. Rev. Titus Lowe performed
the ceremony.
Preceding the ceremony Rev. H.
A. Laeger of David City sang, accom
panied by Mr. Martin Bush, who also
played the wedding march. .
The bride's only attendant was lit
tle Miss Evelyn Laeger, who carried
the ring in a tiny basket decorated
with rosebuds.
The bride was most attractive in
her gown of cream colored georgette
with long tulle veil caught with tiny
rosebuds. A shower bouquet of lilies
of the valley and Cecil Bruner roses
rnmnleted her costume.
After the ceremony a wedding sup
per was served at the Loyal hotel,
the young couple leaving that evening
for Fort Dodge,' la., where they will
visit the brides sister, who is to sail
for France very soon for work as a
Red Cross nurse. .

Handbags and Purses.
Perhaps the silver lining to the
cloud of clothes conservation has
been the tendency to develop the
art of the accessory. Take for ex
ample the purse and the handbag, for
this container of the few shekels left
us, after constant war-time demands,
is a thing deserving of careful atten
tion. On a visit to one of our stores this
morning, I was agreeably surprised
to find, despite all that has been said
and written about the high cost of
leather, that we still have bags and
purses of the genuine article, and
prices have not advanced on these to
any degree.
Some hand-strapped purses were
shown me, which were new and very
very smart, indeed. These were " of
the sofest and most flexible leather in
'lovely Dresden shades of blues har
moniously blended into grays;
wOodsy tans and greens mingled with
autumnal browns. So beautiful was
the workmanship and expert design
ing of these purses, that I thought of
course they were hand-tooled, but the
little brown-eyed presider of this art
goods section was honest enough to
inform me that the raised effect in
dainty flowers was machine made. I
really consider these purses very un
usual at $3.98 and $5.
From over the seas comes a bag
of Parisian making, interesting in the
Oriental shades of its beadwork. The
beads, which are a novelty in them
selves, are square cut, in rich color
tones of purple, cerise and green, the
purple being arranged as a back
ground for a motif design of cerise
flowers and green leaves.
-The very elegant all-over beaded
bag, which was fashionable in the
time of our . great-exandames. has
been revived, and is a very ornamen
tal addition to the smart outfit. Beau
tiful examples of artistic bead work
may be seen, developed into some
' astonishingly handsome bags in this
same store.
Even the littlest girl is not forgot
ten at this bag center, for there are
clever miniature leather handbags of
red,' blue, gray, tan and purple
'leathers. To tickle her wee feminine
vanity, there is a mirror fitted in each
bag; just the same as in "mother's."
And the price ticket reads just 69

Mrs. Wilson Sends
Independence Day
Message to Women
Washington, July 4. This Inde
pendence day message was given
out today to the women of America
by Mrs. Woodrow Wilson:
"The, greeting which I am glad to
send to the women of our beloved
country who are playing so large
and so noble a part in this day of
our supreme test can have but a sin
gle thought for its theme the
thought that is in all our hearts.
"That thought is that we are sus
taining not a government but the
very principles of our nation's life.
The morale of the war is in the
thoughts and aspirations and hopes
of the women as well as of the men.
"They stand at the very center of
every issue involved, as the men do,
and in that sense the war is theirs.
It is a war for what is humane and
right. They can put all that is best
of them into the struggle. And they
are doing so.
" "I deeply admire them, and am
proud to stand with them. A new
glory attaches to the Fourth of July
because we are striving to make the
world free."

CHAPTER VI.
The Rout of the Pests.
(Peggy, finding that Farmer Dalton'a war
cropa are being devoured by worm and In-
aect pests, aeeka to enlist the aid of the
Birds, only to rind that they are at enmity
with the farmer. ' She arbitrates between
them, and patches up their troubles.)
ALL through Mr. Dalton's farm
the food-destroying Huns were
in high glee. In the potato patch the
Colorado Beetles as the potato bugs
called themselves held full sway.
When we get through, they hum
med to each other, "there'll not be a
vine left and without vines how can
potatoes grow?"
In the wheat fields and meadows
the grasshoppers and field mice play
ed and feasted. In the bean field
caterpillars and worms were busy. In
the truck garden tomato worms, cut
worms, cabbage worms, and a whole
host of grubs and bugs ate and ate.
while they planned bigger feasts to
come.
Out in the orchards insects and
larvae held revels unchecked.
"This is a fine farm," buzzed the
tiny pests. "This is a splendid farm,"
chirped the larger insects. And the
worms and grubs never said a thing,
but ate and ate.
Suddenly the sky grew dark. The
bugs and beetles began to seek shelter
under leaves. Night crawling worms
came from their homes, A great shad
ow swept down upon the earth, swing
ing lower and lower. "It's going to
be an awful storm," thought the pests.
And it was for them. All at once
they saw that the shadow was alive,
terribly alive, for it was made up of
thousands and thousands of hungry
birds, every one of them a pest de
stroyer, every one of them with a
tremendous appetite.
Farmer Dalton's house stood upon
a hill. From here Peggy watched the
attack of the birds upon the food
Huns. Above her circled and
swooped General Swallow, who fairly
quivered with energy as he directed
the work of his forces. Messengers
were constantly coming, bringing re
ports and carrying away orders. Peg
gy marveled at the way in which he
had organized his feathered army.
There were companies of swallows,
purple martins, meadowlarks. kill
deers, robins, quail, bluebirds, orioles,
bobolinks, chipping sparrows, wood
peckers, rose-breasted grosbeaks,
goldfinches and other birds whose
names Peggy did not know. Even
Judge Owl came fluttering along at
the head of a battalion of owls and
night hawks.
Each company had its own work to
do. Bob White led lis quail into the
potato patch, where they fell upon
tne bugs most voraciously, lhe kill
deers went after the grasshoppers,
weevils,. May beetles and white grubs.
The robins attacked cutworms, dig
ging them out from their hiding
places in the ground. The rose-breasted
grosbeaks feasted on potato beetles,
scale insects, chinch bugs, grasshop
pers and moths. The swallows and
the martins rounded up insects, bugs
and beetles that tried to escape, catch
ing them in midair. Judge Owl led
his battalion of night birds against
the field mice and beetles. In the
fields, the meadows, the potato patch,
the garden and the orchard, the birds
pecked and ate and hunted. The de
struction of useful food stopped the in
stant they swept down from the sky.
for the pests were so busy tying to
hide themselves they did not dare
eat.
Peggy was delighted. So was
Farmer Dalton. .

Aire You in tin Big (G&eto

There was once a man and this
was long before there was war or
rumors of war who had belonged to
a small town golf club where his
daily game had become first habit and
then a necessity. This man moved to
a city where the gMf dues were pro
hibitive to one of his moderate salary.
For few weeks in-early spring he
practiced in his own back yard with
midiron or putter, or stood poised
over an imaginary ball and waved his
arms in midair in a vain effort to
keep up his driving form. But it
didn't satisfy.
One day his wife said to him:
"Why don't you put that physical
energy into a garden, Bob?"-
"Why not?" thought Bob, scratch
ing his head and surveying the possi
bilities from out the kitchen window.
During all that summer 5 p. m.
found Bob with sleeves rolled up and

lars to me," he declared. "Those
scarecrows will come out of my field
before night and I'll never put another
one up.
"You'll not need to," cried Mr.
Swallow. "If you make us welcome
we swallows will live on your farm
and no thieving crows or jays will
dare come around."
"I'll have houses built for you,"
promised the farmer.
I can build bird houses, chimed in
Billy Belgium. "Daddy Giant 6howed
me how." .
A funny sound came from around;
the corner of the house.
"Croak I Croak 1 in eating bugs
We frogs are bold as Chinese thugs;
The toads come, too, with hunger keen
To help us aid our Peggy Queen."
And into sight hopped General
Croaker at the head of a regiment of
frogs and toads.
"We heard you wanted fighters
against the food Huns, so we hurried
along," croaked General Croaker. "We
can fight insects even if we can't fight
snakes."
"You can help a lot," answered
Peggy, happy over this show of grati
tude on the part of the frogs. "Oh,
but there are snakes 1 Look out!" she
screamed as a dozen streaks darted up
behind the frogs.
"They're all right," laughed the
Giant. "Those are fox snakes I
caught when we captured the snake
army. They are harmless and do fine
work against field mice and bad
rodents. You know I promised I'd set
the good snakes free."
It was getting dark. General Swal
low, who had been inspecting the
battlefield, flew back to Peggy.
"I have to report, Princess, that we
have eaten all the food Huns in sight.
And it's a good thing because the
birds are so filled up they could hard
ly swallow another bug."
"Oh, I know how you feel," ex
claimed Peggy. "It's like I do on
Thanksgiving."
"The owls, the night hawks and the
toads will keep watch until morning,"
continued General Swallow, "and then
we will come on duty again.
"There must be other farms where
the food Huns are at work," said
Peggy. "I think it would be a fine
idea for you to leave a guard here

pushed forward to 7:30 so that two
good hours could be spent in the gar
den before that time.
Gardening proved just as good an
appetizer as a game of golf and much
less expensive, besides furnishing the
table with fresh vegetables all sum
mer long and a surplus for canning.
Such substitution for golf this
summer should make a broad appeal
when there is the added incentive of
patriotic duty.
Interest in sports has changed
even as have other things. Nothing
is "as usual." There will be less golf
this summer and more hoeing. In
stead of turning straight to the sport
ing page of the morning paper the
masculine world will look first to
see what the infernal boches are do
ing to the western front and then
to see what the weather report indi
cates and how that aoolies to croo

For the women, interest in the

not be passed unread. Then there is

is sure there will be much to be put
up for winter's use.
There are real essentials these
days to occupy the hearts and heads
of the country's men and women.
Their interest is in crops rather than
in sports; at least, until they shall
have played the big game of "win
ning the war" to a successful finish.
Government Wants Women
For Munition Plants
The War department authorizes the
following statement from the ord
nance department.
"The demand for women workers
in plants engaged in the manufacture
of munitions of war is not expected
to lessen as a result of the 'work or
fight' order for all men of draft age
issued by the provost marshal gen
eral. "More than 1,000 women now are
working in one plant engaged in the
manufacture of big guns, and more are
needed. A plant in Minnesota has a
large class of women apprentices in
training to run machines on all light
operations in the production of car
riages for great guns.
"The business of training women
for war work is proceeding on a large
scale. At a loading plant now build
ing in New Jersey women who will
act as instructors for other women are
being trained in the loading of powder
by loading chips of wood into silk
bags."
and take the main army to battle for
the crops wherever the pests are at
tacking." "We'll do it, if the farmers will
let us," declared 'General Swallow.
"I'll attend to that," promised Mr.
Dalton. "I'll tell every farmer I know
what the birds have done here, and
what they will do if the farmers make
them their friends."
"Well, I think this is a pretty good
day's work' yawned Peggy, who had
grown tired. The birds apparently
thought so, too, for they arose in a
cloud with a great whirr. Peggy found
herself wrapped up in this cloud, and
when she got out, there she was at
home again and the birds had van
ished. (In the next adventure Peggr haa ex
citing experience! at an army cantonment
where ahe haa a chance to aerve Uncle Sam
