JEFFERIS IS MAN
COUNTRY NEEDS
IN CONGRESS NOW
Julian A. Abbott, Democrat,
Tells Why He Favors
Election of Republic-'
an Candidate.
Xotwithstandfng the plea put up
by the democratic machine bosses,
Julian A. Abbott, in the real estate
business in the Patterson block, is
one democrat who believes A. W. Jef
feris should be elected to congress.
4 "I am a democrat." says Mr. Abbott,
"and have lived in Omaha most of my
life. I have seen this city grow from
a mere village to a metropolitan city.
It has been a great place in which
to live and transact business,' but it
has a greater future and it is incum
bent upon us, who have made the
fight for its development, to see that
it continues to grow and prosper. I
believe that it is very important that
we have a representative in congress,
who Is able to properly represent our
people and to bring to the attention
of the country our great resources.
One of the Strongest.
"I consider Jefferis one of the
strongest men that could be sent to
congress from this district. He is
representative 6f our people and
our city. He possesses the talent that
is essential to make a record in con-g-ess
and to bring to this district
its just rewards. I have been ac
quainted with Jefferis for a great many
years and he has been a consistent
booster and frind of this city and
state. Ht is a bjg hearted fellow and
in close touch with various elements
of our pecple. I predict his election
by a large vote, and he will soon take
his place in congress as a leader and
I feel sure that we will all be proud
of him as our congressman. He is a
true bhe American and patriotic. He
will grow with our city and state and
bring to the nation strong support
in the days that are to come after the
war is won. ,
No Time for Weakling.
"It is no time to elect inferior men.
The life of the country is at stake and
we must draft our real big men for
public service. Jefferis is the man.
He will help win the war and help
.ave the nation."
Sandstorm Division
Royally Welcomed on'
Trip to Eastern Camp
Sergt. W. S. Timberlake, with the
headquarters company of the "Sand
storm Division," in a letter to his
parents, Mr. and Mrs George Tim
berlake, 223 Meredith avenue, writes
in glowing terms of the rousing wel
come accorded them on their trip
from Camp Cody to Camp Dix, N. J.
He was employed by the F. F. Mar
tin Coal company as traffic manager
before enlisting in the Sixth Nebras
ka National Guard regiment After
th regiment was reassigned he was
appointed corporal of the military po
lice and later advanced to sergeant
of the division headquarters.
"I would not take $1,000 for the
trip," he wrote. "We made many
stops at the principal cities on the
eastern seaboard, nearly all of which
we passed through in daylight. We
are quartered in barracks with a beau
tiful lawn, and we have shade trees
right outside of the office door.
"Prior to our arrival here the news
papers gave our division a great repu
tation and everyone thought we
would appear wearing two guns on
each hip and chaps. They now say
that the 34th is the best of the three
or four divisions that preceded us and
we are welcomed with open arms.
"People in the east and south sure
were out in numbers to welcome us.
After we left Baltimore the engineer
kept his 'whistle toot-tooting, and
everyone was out with flags, yelling
and waving. This was something we
did not see in the west and southwest.
Some towns we pulled through had
the factory whistres blowing and you
never saw such a demonstration in
your life.
"The Red Cross met us at every
ston with cold drinks, hot drinks,
cookies, sandwiches and cigarets. At
Roanoke, Va., they took us to the
lawn of the Monticello hotel, where
they , served us sandwiches, ice tea
and peaches and cake. We marched
-up the streets of Memphis and Nash
ville and the peopl hollered and
clapped every foot of the way."
Saunders Resigns as Local
Secretary of Red Cross
9annHre serretarv of the
Omaha chapter of the Red Cross, has
sent to Gould Dietz, chairman, his
official resignation, owing to the fact
that he received the nomination for
state senator at the recent primary.
" "I am fully in accord," writes Mr.
Saunders, "with the wise provisions
of the American Red Cross that no
political candidate may hold an ex
ecutive position in the service."

PRIVATE HARRIS
FAILS TO SPEAK
AS CROWD WAITS
Soldier Claiming Membership
. in Rainbow Division Disap
points Audience After
Arousing Suspicions.
"Private Harris," Company G, 168th
Infantry, and part of the Rainbow di
vision, did not speak in Eagle hall.
Council Bluffs, last night, after all ar
rangements had been made for him to
tell a big audience some of his thrill
ing experiences fighting the Huns
when all of the members of Company
G but himself and three others were
put out of action.
It would have been a thrilling story,
for it was believed that Private Har
ris had the ability to tell it. He said
he could talk 15 minute or 5 hours,
for he had a plain story of actual ex
periences to tell and nothing to "make
up."
But for some reason Private Harris
did not appear. He went from Omaha
and took dinner with Mayor Zurmueh
len, who had arranged tor the public
speaking, and during the after-dinner
hour was presented, to numerous in
fluential men. He was questioned
very sharply by several men versed in
military affairs.
Soon afterwards he told Mayor Zur
tnuehleU that it would be necessary
for him to go to the Loyal hotel in
Omaha, where he is staying, to get his
trench clothes. He failed to return
to Council Bluffs and a big audience
waited until 9 o'clock for him. The
hotel was called up later and it was
said that he was registered there with
two others, but had not returned since
leaving in the early afternoon.
Private Harris was driving an auto
mobile without a license and when
questioned said that "government cars
did not require licenses." At 5 o'clock
he said that his companions, John
Frank and Thomas Fardland, would
leave for Kansas City early in the
evening, driving the car, and that he
would follow today on the train.
Up until 1 o'clock Wednesday morn
ing "Pfivate" Harris failed to appear
at the Hotel Loyal to get his bag
gage. The hotel management savs he
came to the hotel September 7 and
had not checked out.

HIGH SCHOOL HEAD
TAKES MAFT COUNT
OoTernment "Aid for Military
Training Purpose of Prin
cipal Masters in Taking
Census of Youths.
A census of all boys in Central high
school who will have to registrr
Thursday, under the new draft law is
being taken by Principal Masters. TJie
census was begun yesterday when all
I to - . . 1 I I
uujs over IO C,U5 UI dKr wric MU
to state their name anil age upon a
slip of paper. The object is to make
a report to the government which may
make possible some extra arrange
ment for military trajning at the
school. Under the presfnt regulations
higu.schools are "not included among
the schools which may receive govern
nient aid, but a committee in Wash
ington is discussing the question.
The- Federal Bureau of Education
has issued a circular asking assistance
"in maintaining at normal efficiency,
at least, all schools of all kinds and
grades during the war." The govern
ment has asked all students in schools
to continue their education and has
provided the Students' Army Training
Corps in colleges to enable older stu
dents to do so. No provisions have
yet been made to exempt high school
boys subject to the draft.
"Parents should b encouraged to
make all sacrifice necessary to keep
their sons and daughters in school,"
states P. P. Claxton, United States
commissioner of education. "Because
of the increased cost of living this
will not always be easy. Teachers
should be encouraged to remain at
their posts despite temptations of
larger pay elsewhere. Men and wom
en who have had successful experi
ence as teachers and are not now in
the schools should, wherever possible,
be induced to take the places made
vacant by teachers who have been
drafted into the army, or who have
for other reasons left the schools. The
people should be shown the necessity
of increasing their appropriations for
the support of the schools to meet, to
some extent at least, the great de
crease in the purchasing power of
money. We must see to it that no
boy or girl shall have less opportun
ity for education because of the war."
Millers Must Take Toll
' in Money and not Wheat i
'On advices from Washington', Food
Administrator Wattles has ordered
that hereafter when farmers or others
take wheat to Nebraska mills to be
ground into flour, the millers shall
exact a cash toll of 35 cents for each
sack of flour. Heretofore millers
have been permitted to take their toll
in wheat. From now on, in order to
conserve wheat all tolls are to be on
a cash basis.
