America is my country." These
are the words with which Mrs. Louise
"Xircenhagen, German born and bred,
sent four of her sons into the army
of the United States to fight for th
lan Uf . nef adoption, and these arc
th words she calmly reiterates as a
"guiding example to other German
Loin mothers in America.
AjT-mothcr of 12 children, all living,
Mrs. Greenhagen displays with pride
her service flag with four stars on it,
representing her four youngest sons,
all serving sit tue army, ine nmc
star is for Louis, my baby," she says,
for in his mother's eyes 19-year-old
Louis has never growu up.
Pete, 'aged. 30, is at Camp Dodge,
among the soldiers in the last draft,
" v Christian (or Chris, as they call him), j
enlisted In the ambulance corps and
is now across the water,! somewhere
in France or Italy. Fritz, aged 23, is,
a , sergeant,; itationed at Jfort Sill,
i . Okla., in the same company with his
brother, Louis. They are both in the
artillery, machine gun operators.
Mrs. Greenhagen expected Fritz
' and Louis home last Sunday, The
boys d'd not want to disappoint thair
' mother, so r they wrote a neighbor,
telling her that they had secured a
furlough and hoped to be hotiite for
a visit before crossing the water. The
neighbor told their , mother, who
looked , forward anxiously to their
visit, but they didn't come, and now
the mother fears that orders arrived
for them to'proceed! at once to the
coast and she may not see them be-
iure iucy,ieavc. -
Born in Germany., a
Mrs. Greenhagen was born in Ger
many. As a girl she went into ser
vice in Brehm in the. family xf, an
official there, where she remained un
til she met and married her husband,
a plasterer by trade. "We tame to
America because 'there' was" not
- enough for us, to eat in Germany,
- says Mrs. Greenhagen. "In the last
, few years before the war they wrote
ir.s it was better there than it used
'.--, to be, but I don't know",
In the spring of 1883, a ' Mormon
missionary came to Brehm and paint
ed the beauties of America in glow
ing colors. It was easy to live and to
get rich in Iowa, a land where there
was plenty for everyone and . to
spare. Mr. Greenhagen's brothettle
cided to go and persuaded Mr. Green
hagen to accompany him. There was
rot money enough, to take the wife
and three little children at that time.
io arrangements were v made that
. they should wait and accompany
their relatives as soon as the money
could be provided. In November,
Mrs. Greenhagen received the-pass-age
money from her . husband, and
went to see her relatives who were
to escort her. They were gone..
Not able to speak a word of Eng
lish, burdened with three little ones,
the brave woman, gathered up her
belongings and made the trip alone.
"The Germans in America all spoke
English," she said, "and they did not
like then to speak German, but when
they found ! was alone and unable
to make myself Understood, there was
always some friendly countryman to
translate for me and to tell ma- what
to do." . i,. r I,.. ,.;.-.,. ,:, ,, ...
. ' Come to Council Bluffs. I
. f , She reached ' Council Bluffs in
safety and'rejoined her husband. The
, brother's family had already reached
- there and then had all gone away, and
to this day no word has come from
them. ' ' . ' i ' .
Soon after they reached the Bluffs,
the great boom days ot Omaha be
gan and the Grecnhigens moved
cross the river. They bought a. lit
tle piece of property, and built the
hpme where they how live, on Mar
tha street. Now it, ic -close, to
I lan scorn park and well within, the
city, but it was all fields and pasture
then. . . . : s
Mr. Greenhagen found plenty. of
work and the little family prospered.
It not-only? prospered, tut if grew,
year by year seeing another fat and
healthy baby added to the number,
until there were 12 to care for.
- Before the babies had all come, the
reaction from the boom days set in.
There was no building and Mr. Green
hagen could find no work to do.
Added to that, he fell ill.' With a sick
husband,- a big family, of children to
care for, an enormous truck garden
on which the living depended and
another little one soon to come, Mrs.
Greenhagen was in despair. "Ask
the county for help," counseled the
neighbors. But no. "Never has the
county helped me," declared the Httle
voman-A"and never will it have to
neip me while I can work at all."
Somehow she managed to pull
through,' with the assistance of good
neighbors and sympathetic country
men, who gave her a lift with; the
work now and then. Better times
came, the husband got well, and the
cnnaren soon were old enough to
help.- - ;
Now all the children are gone.
Most of them are marrird and have
five, six and eight children them
selves. Mr. Greenhagen is Id and
can not work as he used to.- The
garden yields as of old under, the
skillful care of its. owners, but Louis
who used to drive the wagon and sell
the vegetables, is gone and his old
moth'er does his work, drivine each
morning fr6m place to place where
tne vegetables are wanted. : s
Sometimes disappointments come.
and such disappointments look bigger
now than; once. Last Sundav ; the
vines were full of luscious red toma
toes, for which orders had been re
ceived. Monday they were to be,

The pony used in the program is "Gypsy," owned by Hazel Kisor, who is
shown in the picture. Twelve girls of this organization are planning to give
this entertainment again within a few weeks, when the general public will be
invited to attend.
No More Pie to Tickle '
Tongues of Threshers
Pie, the great American dessert,
is to be eliminated from the menu
of the threshing crews this season,
if a movement started by some of
the women of Nebraska becomes suc
cessful. What may be the ultimate
result of this proposition, with its
farreaching possibilities, can only be
conjectured, but it is stated that in
some sections farmers and farmers'
wives havev formed themselves into
an ironbound combine determined to
make the present threshing season
pieless. -
Think of itl Pie, the very founda
tion of the liberty of the American
peoplel Pie, that which has put the
push and pep into the Yankee since
Plymouth Rock! Pie, the ne plus ul
tra of delectable dainties which have
adorned the dinner table, and spnie
times the breakfast and supper table
of Uncle Sam since that doughty
party declared his independence of
the roast beef of John Bull!
How any thresherman can thresh
without pie is a mystery. Perhaps
he cannot. It may be .that there will
spring up a new Coxey's army that
will sweep across the land demanding
its pie as the price of its threshing.
If a pieless threshing season is
the product of the war, then indeed is
war hell, and there will go, up from
the throats of ten thousand thresher
men the united chorus, "Damn the
Kaiser I"

R. M. Marrs, new principal of the

while ago in Lincoln. Marrs and his

tended to meet at a certain rendez

After comoletine his business,

noticed that someone was attempting

straightaway broke into a run. The
person tampering with the auto, who,
upon closer observation, was seen to

tinued to try to pursuade the drowsy

Lite Saver
Comb Honey
By EDWARD BLACK.
Henry Leffingwell was sitting in a
quiet sector of his habitat, musing on
the time when he returned home for
the first time with a new set of teeth.
He recalled that he felt like digging
himself in to avoid the scrutiny of
some of the neighbors, who were al
ways ready to abandon their essen
tial actiyities to discuss the comings
and goings of their communal asso
ciates. He decided he would take the fam
ily for a picnic, and he convinced his
conscience that out-of-door prandial
functions were not in the category of
nonessentials. He summoned the
members of the family to appear in
his presence forthwith, while he an
nounced the eventful time and place.
Mrs. Lefhgwell could not read in.
the light of her Henry's face just
what might have been in his mind.
She could not recall any domestic in
advertence, which would warrant
chastisement from the inside office.
She had placed Henry's coffee on
the righthand side at the table and she
had set the alarm clock and had
otherwise contributed to the social
welfare of the house. What direful
prospect impended, she asked her
self, as she remembered that during
the dav she soilled the salt which
she regarded as an omen of adverse
happenings.
Choke With Emotion. ,
"The Leffinewells are eoinar to
have a picnic and we are going: to
invite the neighbors," announced the
guardian of the Leffingwell dormitory.
An air of finality flashed' across his
face, as if he hack said something
worth hearing. Mrs. Leffingwell and
the children looked at their leader
with mute admiration. They did not
know just what td say to adequately
rise to the occasion. Willie wanted
to say: "Pa. you have said a mouth
ful," but he did not sav it. Mrs. Lef-.
fingwell almost choked with emotion,
while Mary was inclined to make a
leap to the top of the piano in her
exuberance.
"Yes. we are eoinc to have a nip.
nic," Leffingwell repeated, leaving no
doubt in the minds of his subjects as
to the full import of his original
declaration.
"Did you say that we are going to
have va picnic?" Willie , inquired,
roguishly.
"We must mingle more with our
fellow beings lest we get into a men
tal rut. We must appreciate the'
value of mass psychology, the bene
fits of the common touch with our
neighbors, and thf re is no better way
in which to get out and know each
other than at a picnic," Leffingwell
continued in his philosophy of the
picnic
"Are yon eoine to invite Mra.
LWhafs-Her-Name?" Mrs. Leffin-r-
well asked, wondering what sort of
mass psychology this neighbor wo
man would contribute to the ensem- ,
ble. She wondered whether Mrs.
What's-Her-Name would chatter
about "her man," and whether she
would pick the other women to pieces.
She had vivid recollections of how
this woman maintained a five-foot
mental library of the genealogical his
tory of everybody in her block.
-Spirit of Homogeneousness.
"We will issue a general call of the
neighborhood, because this will be a '
democratic affair, representative of
the Leffingwell spirit of homogene
ousness," Leffingwell 'went on, while
Willie got out the family dictidhary
and Mary raised a window.
Leffingwell retired to the kitchen,
where he gathered up a lot of proven
der which he started to prepare for
the outing. He was busy making
sandwiches when his wife appeared on
the scene with a quizzical look.
"Henry Leffingwell, you arecutting
those sandwiches as large as a cow's
foot," was the censorious comment of
the charge d'affaires' of the Leffing
welNkitchen. "There yon are again, Sarah . Lef
fingwell, always finding fault with'
what others are doing. I believe the
best thing you could do would be to
do this work yourself and then per
haps you would be satisfied," he re
torted gingerly.
At this juncture Mrs. What's-Her-Name
floated in like a breeze from"
somewhere. She looked over the sit
uation and airily suggested that the
Leffingwells might be picniC-bound.
Mrs. Leffingwell told her that Henry
Leffingwell had promoted the happy
affair and then proceeded to descant
upon the prodigality of Henry's sand
wich making.
"I just think that you have one of
the most thoughtful husbands in the
world." If my man should suggest a "
picnic I would not know how to act.
He is too lazy to suggest anything
except that I shall make some cold
lemonade every evening. And what
home-like sandwiches, they are so
generous. I just know thattour man
made them, because none other than
a man with a large heart would cut
sandwiches with such liberality," Mrs.
What's-Her-Name remarked.
Mrs. Leffingwell retired from the
kitchen, leaving Henry in -full charge.
She began to think that, after all, per
haps Leffingwell had a larger cardiac '
region than she had believed.
"Say, pa, do you believe in mass
psychology?" Willie asked as he ap
peared in the kitchen and observed
his sire busy with the picnic propa
ganda. '
"I know that I have the best hus
band in this block," Mrs. Leffingwell
told Mrs. What's-Her-Name as the
twain parted after a confidential chat.
"I rwa 14 vears jold when it hap
pened," stated James W. Metcalfe,
when he related tne tnriu ot nis me.
He averred that he has had other
thrilling- experiences, but this one
stands out on the tablet of his mem
ory in strong bas relief.
Mr. Metcalfe lived in St. Louis dur
ing his boyhood and was considered
an expert, swimmer. He swam
across the Mississippi river several
times and then back again and other
wise, made a record as an acquatic
devotee.
One day he took a neighbor boy
with him to a private natatorium and
promised to be responsible for the
safety 'of the lad who did not know
how to swim. He left the boy in
shallow water while he disported in
the deeoer Darts of the pool. Sudl
denly he observed the companion
mounted On a springboard at the 16
foot depth. , Before he could inter
vene the boy jumped, intending to
reach a ladder at the side. Mr Met
calfe jumpedafter the boy, who wai
drowning. .
"I "went to the bottom of the pool
after the boy and as I was coming
up the drowning youngster clung to
me as a drowning person will hold
to his rescuer. I could not shake'
him," Mr. Metcalfe said, "and I must
have swallowed more than a gallon of
water. I was beginning ,to think
that both of us would be drowned,
when someone rushed to the scene
and released me from the death grip
which the boy had on me. I have
never forgotten that experience."
Hope.
"The Germans," said Representa
tive Borland, "still hope' to win the
war. livery neutral woo comes ut
of Germany declares that this hope ia
still very strong In the fatherland."
