Just as her dress ing was about completed, the por ter appeared and excitedly exclaimed, "Hurry up, lady. Dis train ain't gwine to say no 20 minutes. It's just pullin' out." Then she heard the hell and the whistle of the exhaust Seizing her hat and slipping her jacket on over disordered robes, she snapped to her suitcase which the porter took, They hurried through the train and he got off dropped her baggage and caught her as she jump ed from the moving train. The last she saw of her white jacketed friend, V M w ter than ever. v 1812 FARNAM STREET The Washington Market sells Money than any store in 4 he city, Beef Tenderloin, per lb , 30c Choice Round Etesk, per lb 23c Young Veal Rosst, per lb... , 25c Fresh Spars Ribt, per lb. , I Be Rib Boil, per lb. . 15o Vtolt 9?'

A war bride went to Des Moines to visit her husband at. Camp Dodge. While there she ran out of money and was unable to get a check cashed, as it was Sunday and she was a s. ranger, so she thought she would take a day coach for fear her money would not last. Not a seat was left in the day coach, and the aisles were overflowing with people standing and sitting on the arms of the seats and even on .ie floor of the car. She went into the chair car, where she had just ...oney enough to pay the extra fare and buy the last remaining seat. She . .-.htd home with one cent in her pocketbook. Another Omaha woman went to see her mother off to California. She entered the baggage office with 15 minutes in which to check the trunk.

I Old Clothes $ 'S Miss Mary Anthony, resident X in chare at the Citv mission, is y y making an appeal for old clothes. f. As school time approaches the f children are in need of shoes and tend with . some degree of de- cency. Shoes are especially Y needed. There are families with seven to eleven children who do not own a pair of children s y. shoes and who have no money to buy them. 'The mission is t now located at 1204 Pacific 4 street. No one was there except one clerk, bent over a desk. He did not look up, even when she called to him. Finally he sauntered over and said, "iou don't need to be in such hurry. You train is 20 minutes late." With entire unco- rn he leisurely hunted up the trunk, made out the necessary check and then remarked, "You had better hurry. Your train is on time and you have just one minute." The lady hurried her mother to the train as fa as possible, but just as they got to the bi iron gate, it was slammed in their faces. It was pos sible to take another train to Lincoln and catch the through train there, hut the old mother had to ride on a day coach, in which she was able to find a seat only by the courtesy of a man who stood all the way to Lincoln. Wartime travel is no fun, is the report of the travelers so far re tuned. Father in France; Daughter to Wed. liev. and Mrs. John Calvert of Ben son announce the engagement and approaching marriage of their daugh ter, Edith, and Mr. William Grijley.

Locally grown vege tables are scarce. Tomatoes almost disappeared from the market during the latter half of the week, though this is the time when they are usually the most plentiful. Cabbage is an excellent thing to buy now because it is big and solid headed, though the price has advanced two and three-fold over what it was a year ago. It selU at 4 and S cents a pound. Potatoes have mounted to a price that approaches that of a year ago. Stores which "cater to the better trade" quote them now at 60 cents a jieck which is.tquivalent to $2.40 a bu shel. They 'say these are the best quality of potatoes. Some stores quote them as low as 45 cents a peck. With the large acreage of potatoes planted and the good yield this price is acicnowieuge 10 oe extra nign. Corn is selling from 30 to 40 cents a dozen ears. In the fruit line things look better "T FEEL that I must write and tell A you the great benefit I have ex- perienced-from using Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pep sin. I had always suffered from indigestion but since taking Syrup Pepsin I am no longer troubled in that way, and I cannot praise it too highly as a laxative." fFrom a letter to Dr. Caldwell written by Mrs. Geo.

Young Mus grave was formerly deputy in the sheriff's office, but is now in Lincoln at the state farm for special military training. There will be no wedding until after the war. though some fruits are extremely scarce. .Notable in the latter division are watermelons which are usually in the height of their plentitude at this time of the year. One big store had just two watermelons on ( hand Fri day and couldn't get any more though it has a standing order for 300 in the wholesale district for several days. Prices have gone up somewhat, too. Canteloupes are plentiful at 10 to IS cents each. Pears, plums and peaches are abundant and of fine quality though at high prices compared to former years, borne jumbo peaches are on the local markets, great big specimens selling at 10 cents each. The grape crop is abundant and both eating and jelly grapes are plentiful. The latetr sell around $1.25 for a market basket full. The riper grapes for eating "so" sell at 35 to 45 cents a basket. White California grapes are quoted at 15 cents a pound. There are plenty of apples of the new crop and they are good ones, many of them being ripe enough to eat without cooking. N. Y. Leonard W. Trester, assistant Ne braska director for the Red Cross, has a beautiful knitted flag that has been sent him by the school childen of Gibbon, Neb. The flag measures 5x8 feet and is made entirely by hand. The stars are knitted and sewed on to the blue ground. The chil dren of the Fourth and Fifth grades at Gibbon did this work themselves. ' Winside Red Cross auxiliary, 'through G. A. Pestal, sent the sum of $2,117.34 to the state office to be used for French Red Cross relief. The salvage department is looking for a responsible man to drive the truck and do other work. The Civilian Relief department asks for furniture for two rooms lor the wife and two children of a sol dier. A rug, table and chairs are among the things most needed.

Pear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: We ars three young girls averaging 16 years of age. We are going on a hike soon and know the boys will suggest sentimental games. How shall we object as we do not wish to make them angry. Is It a true friend that asks to kles you good night and you obpect he then refuses to go to another party with you because he can get girls who will let him. Thank you. Q. S. C. Will the boys who want to kiss the girls goodnight please tell Beatrice Fairfax Just why they are making it so hard for the poor girls? Hardly a letter finds Its way to the ad visor of the lovelorn which doesn't contala this question: "Is it right to let a young man kiss you goodnight?" So now. Miss Fairfax appeals to the young men and she asks If they think It's their fault" or are the girls' to blamef Many Admirers. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I went about with a boy some years my senior and enjoyed his company very much. Them B came along and asked for my company for Just one night. As I was going wit A, I felt like I ought not go with him, and when I was at the point of refusing, he said: "I leave for camp In three or four days; then 1 thought how awful it would be to refuse and maybe never see him again, so I went. And before I could see A again his sister had told him and when he came over where 1 was stayling he told me things that made me know he did not like It veif well, so as soon as I left and came to Colo rado he has never written. I received a let ter from B while 1 was still In Nebraska and after I came out here I answered lt and have been writing to him evv lnce. , I was over to a girl friend s yesterday and she told me of receiving a letter from A. Then she asked me why A and I f ill out and I told her. She said, "Well, I am going to do my duty by A and not go wtt any one while 1 am writing to him." Do you think he did right in quitting aver such' a little thin?? Then her brother brought me home that evening and asked me fur my company, f told him he might come once in a while, but I did not want steady company. He told nis he didn't either till he saw how this wat was going to end. I also told him of writ ing to B and he said. "That is none of my business If you write to a dozen in camp." Now, Miss Fairfax, 1 am a girl of 16. I have no way of going only when my father takes me. I have nu mother, no sister, and my brother is In the training camp and I am so lonesome. I have no girl friends any l.earer than six miles and the only way for me to get to go to Sunday school and church Is with C. Do you think I should keep on writing to B and never tell him ol going with C. If you think I should tell B tell me how I should break the news to him, as I think more of B than I do of C. Youn respectfully, GURTY. You have many admirers for a girl at young. I would not take any of these youn men so seriously, but would be a good chum and nothing more. I think the first youns man of whom you speak acted In a selfish manner, for I do not see why he should monopolize your entire time. Write friendlj letters to your soldier friend, but If yon art not engaged to lilni I can see no reason foi . you telling blm where yon spend all Msl time. -. - 44- i jN"t I'M'K'i I ll.Dl I 1 ln":
