ThE BEE : OMAHA. THURSDAY JULY 25, 1918. SOUTH SIDE RAIL LINES NOW PREPARE FOR BIG STOCK SHIPMENT Freight Cars in Readiness Awaiting August Run of Cat tle; Feed and Prices Are Good. Railroads in the west are ready tb handle the fall shipments of cattle, but shippers are not yet ready to sell because of the fact that cattle still are rather soft, according to a prom inent stockman just back from trips to South Dakota, Wyoming and west cm Nebraska. The late rains, have kept the grass green and feed is good r.nd plentiful, but has not cured up as early as usual. Although sheepmen are inclined to hold up their stock awhile, prices are especially attractive and some are shipping already. Mixed conditions on the range country and on the markets may re sult in spreading shipments owl over a longer period, which will hold the market in better shape and enable the railroads to handle the situation more easily than last year. Railroads have been urging ship pers to place their orders for cars early and, as a result, many of the railroad yards have strings of cars on the tracks waiting the movement of the cattle.

DODGE FOR CONGRESS SCHOOL CLINIC SHOWS HEALTH IMPROVEMENTS Educational Officers Are Given Special Medical Training at the Train ' School. . Willie broke out laughing during a special demonstration of public school medical inspection work, held at Train school Wednesday for the benefit of school officials. Harry had been called upon to show how a school boy prepares his toilet in the morning, preparatory for school, according to the methods urged by the school nurses in their talks to the boys and girls. The boy did very well with most of t,he work until he washed his neck, which showed the proverbial line between the cleansed and uncleanied areas. Willie espied the line of demarcation and he laughed out loud. Forty-seven boys and girls who had previously been examined during the school year by the nurses were at the school for this special clinic. A girl of 12 years showed marked phy sical and mental improvement since removal of adenoids and tonsils last February. She said that rheumatism does not bother her now. Boys Wash Face.

Adr Pershing Speaks to People of America By Columbia Record The expression, "a voice across the seas" is no longer figurative language. Modern science, as represented in the phonograph has brought to America the literal voice of the leader of the armies of this land, upon a record created by the Columbia Grapho phone company. A part of the history of the war was made by General Pershing, at the height of the battle in Picardy, when at American headquarters he spoke a brief but stirring message to the people of this land, urging their loyal support of the armies in the field. The idea which led to the making of the record came to Guy Golterman of St. Louis, during a visit to Wash ington. Mr. Golterman said that when he looked upon the facsimiles of Washington's farewell address, the Lincoln Gettysburg address and other prized mementos of the history of the United States, he could not but think how fine it would have been if the actual voices of these men could have been preserved as they gave these messages to the world, and he thereupon suggested the plan to the Columbia company. The massive copper master record, brought back through the perilous sea lanes in an ordinary mail sack, is to be preserved where it may be seen, while the reproductions are heard through the coming years on every occasion when such a message might. be needed to stir the people. This record is to be played at noon at the Omaha Commercial club for several days and is on sale by Schmol ler & Mueller, the local representa tives of the Columbia Graphaphone company. . The Columbia company has re moved all its profits from this record and the money received for it is to be used by the National Forum in propaganda work in arousing the peo ple of America to a full sense of their duty in the present war crisis. It is approved by the war activities committee.
