Valley and Bennington
Saturday evening patriotic meetings
were held, under the auspices of the
recently organized War Savings so
cieties, in Valley and Bennington. At
Vailey Mayor Smith spoke and the
Millie Ryan Liberty quartet of Omaha
sang a number of patriotic songs. At
Bennington Attorney Tom A Hollis
ter spoke and the music was furnished
by a male quartet from the Walnut
Hill Methodist church.
Both speakers reviewed the reasons
why America is in the war and urged
unstinted support on the part of every
one "until the Star Spangled Banner is
played by the Marine band on the
steps of the kaiser's palace in Berlin."
A great deal of enthusiasm was shown
at both places. Both meetings were
well attended.
These meetings were the first of a
series of meetings which are being
planned, under the auspices of the
societies, in evry prcinct of Douglis
county, outside of Omaha.

SEEKS DIYORCE AID
IN BATTLING H. C. L
Roy A. Neely Asks Separation
Charging Extravagance and
Improper Company on
Part of Wife.
For two and one-half years Roy A
Neely tried to beat the high cost of
living. He formed a life partnership
with the present Mrs. Margaret K.
Neely. But the partnership ha
reached the point of dissolution and
the fight against the aerial flight of
living expenses has ended in utter de
feat with Neely's petition for divorce.
Mrs. Neely is a bad cook, Neely
found out soon after their marriage
in December, 1915, he says. Never
theless, he always turned over his
paycheck every Saturday night to pay
tiie household expenses. Still large
bills kept coming in from the grocery
stores and the meat shops and the
clothing stores, which Neely had to
dig down in order to meet.
So Neely next tried the plan of giv
ing his wife $10 every week to pay
the living expenses for her, himself
and their infant child, Lucile. But
this plan also was a complete failure,
because bills tor charges still kept on
coming trom the shops, he states.
But Mrs. Neely got tired of his com
pany, he says, and told him that
since he wasn't proving a success at
providing for his family, he had bet
ter enlist in the army. So Neely
gladly acquiesced. Then, he says in
his petition for divorce, "she mani
fested great joy at his attempt to en
list, but, tortunately or unfortun
ately, Neely was rejected by the army,
and still has all of his troubles on his
hands.
The most unkind cut of all, he says,
came when she sold Iter engagement
ring for almost nothing within a
month after marriage."
He also accuses her of keeping im
proper company, male and female, at
their home during his absence. He
asks a divorce and the custody of
Lucile.
AT THE
THEATERS
"The Unmarried Mother."
Built around a theme as old as
humanity, "The Unmarried Mother"
offers little that is new, either in
thought or treatment, nor does its
unfolding present a remedy. A girl
has been deceived, suffers goes to
the very bottom in misery, and is
suddenly snatched away from all
her sorrows by a man who dis
covers at first glance that she is the
ideal for whom he has waited. And
after a certain amount of expiatory
travail, in the course of which all
mystery is cleared up, they live
happily ever after. It has about as
much to do with "war babies" as
did "Way Down East" or "Nellie,
the Beautiful Cloak Model."
Mildred Johnson plays the stricken
heroine, who is slowly but surely
transformed from the embodiment
of black and sinister sorrow to the
condition of joyous wifehood. All
this commendable transition is
brought about by the devotion of the
impulsive hero, skillfully portrayed
by Louis Leon Hall. Frank R.
Dare enacts the role of the necessary
but inept villain, conceived along
such all-embracing lines of impos
sible cussedness that he seems out
of place on the stage, for his like
exists only in the movies, where any
thing can happen. Considerable
comedy and a few really worth while
sentiments enlighten the progress of
tne play.
The engagement at the Boyd is for
a week, with daily matinees for ladies
only. A lecture is given at the mat
inees which is omitted at the evening
performances.
Bill at the Empress.
"The Four Seasons," a quartet
of attractive singing and dancing
girls, is the headline feature on the
Empress vaudeville program for the
first half of the week. The offering
is novel in many respects and is
wholly entertaining. Sparkling solo
and harmony singing is a big feature
of the act. The Jack Arnold trio
have a comedy singing, talking and
piano offering that met with much
success with Sunday's audiences.
Wright and Walker, singers and
dancers, and Roseartd Dell, present
ing a clever comedy skit, complete
they audeville bill. Virginia Pearson
in "Her Price," a gripping story of
a woman who bartered her beauty
for a career, is the feature on the
photoplay program.

Movie Actor Talks.
Jack Connors, movie actor, who
sold ?rO,(K)0 worth of Liberty bonds
in N'ew York city during the last loan
campaign, made a speech and gave
his efforts in helping to swell the
total.
Madame Guerin, in her brief talk
at the pavilion, apologized for her
foreign accent, and said if the Sam
mies in France spoke French as well
as she did not speak English, they
would speedily become experts. She
referred to the fall of the Bastile and
told of the pitiable plight of many
French orphans.
The celebration of Sunday as Bas
tile day was a feature of the picnic.
Finn's concert band, Adam's jazz
band, Art Smith's orchestra, and even
the calliope on the merry-go-round,
played French patriotic airs. The tri

played all over the park.

Mrs. Alice Strausser Charges
Husband Threatened to .Shoot
Locking her in a room, threatening
her with personal violence by flour

her husband, Caryl H. Strausser, did
all of this last Hiday, according to
her allegations, she lost no time in
filing a suit for divorce and Saturday
made an application. They were
married last February. She wants
her maiden name restored which

The work of weighing and measur
ing babies, which has been in
progress for some weeks, will be
continued at the three "baby stations"
in the city, in the hope that all of
Omaha's 15,000 or 20,000 children un
der school age may be measured.
This work has been undertaken at
the suggestion of the National Coun
cil of Defense.
Mrs. Draper Smith is chairman of
the work, and it is at her request
that the work is to be continued in
this city. Up to the present only
about 5,000 babies have been weighed
and measured.
Omaha having made the best rec
ord of any city in the country in the
percentage of infant mortality, it is
desired to secure an adequate rec
ord of the number of children under
school age in the city, and of how
nearly they measure up to standard.
The measurements will be taken free
and a card record provided of any
