Mrs. Andrew Mac Leish of Glen
coe, 111., reviewed the work women
are doing to help win the war and
the assistance the Y. W. C A. is
giving them in keeping up their
morile at the state meeting Wednes
day morning of the women's com
mittee of the united work campaign.
Miss Edith M. Stanton, central
department executive, suggested an
advisory council of women in Ne
braska. This council should repre
. t al! th women's organizations
in the state, and through them Mrs.
Grace Gholson, Nebraska chairman
of women's work, would be better
atle to get in. touch with women oi
all classes, religions and interests.
, Stanton believes this council
, would he of great value m stimu
lating the interest of the women of
the state.
Miss Clarissa Spencer of London
talked on the work the women are
A ing to help win the war in Amer
ica, France and: England. ."We
need to conserve every bit of wool
en, food, munitions and all material,
' but most important of all is the hu
! man element The'wome., are he'p
ing to conserve human effort," said
Miss Spencer, "The Y. W. C A,
with its SO 'years of experience with
v.omen, is well fitted to lead in this
work." ;. ; .
Miss Spencer returned to America
April 1 of;' this ryear frm Russia,
.where she' had. been, with seven
. other women, establishing branches
of Y. W. C A, work in Petrograd
and Moscow. The other women
left soon afterward, all going to
Sweden, where they, are now wait
ing until conditions are settled so
they may return to Russia. "The
last I knew," said Miss Spencer,
"the Russian women were still car
rying on the work in Petrograd, but
- they may have been killed the last
few weeks: I am deeply concerned
about my 'friends in, that country.
In Moscow the work has stopped
temporarily, as conditions are much
. worse there." Miss Spencer spent
10 years, from 1904 to, 1914, in Y. W.
i C A. work in London, and has since
that time been in Japan and other
countries. , ,

Calendarlcally Speaking
Saturday k First Day of A uta
Thomas Kilpatrick & Co. are all ready for action
mn!
There will be no extravagant display-SUCH THINGS ARE
OUT OF PLACE NOW. There will be no Bizarre Styles
GOOD TASTE FORBIDS IT NOW. There will be no Costly,
Foolish Frills-WIN THE WAR! is the thought Supreme Now.
There never was much excuse for the follies of Seasonal
Openings-ABSOLUTELY NO EXCUSE NOW. This is a
time for ESSENTIALS, and for the abandonment of all SILLY
TOMM YROT. Let him who has surplus money to spend, give
it to the agencies who are HELPING OUR BOYS TO WIN THE
WAR-THAT IS OUR PLATFORM.
In keeping with the ideas just expressed-we are prepared to
present on
Thursday, September 19th, a Complete Stock
Good Sense! Good Taste! Good Materials! Good Values!
Will be the attractions in our
Ready-to-Wear Section
Our buyers selected merchandise to meet an unusual condi
tion, and right well have they fulfilled their duties. You will
find practical, commonsense garments with a purpose-comf ort,
warmth, wearability. Modest, yet good looking. Fur and
fringe the trimmings most used, most in demand. To add a
note of cheeriness, bright linings are used-these lend just the
gloom-dispelling touch which will appeal to you.
THIS WILL BE A GREAT COAT SEASON. THE COATS
are good looking, made from soft velvety fabrics of the
Duvetyne order. Roomy trimmed with fur collars and
cuffs; purple shades, navies, browns, Copens, with a
sprinkling of the wine colorings, taupe, etc.
Suits will be a close second in favor shades and
colors similar to that of the coats.
FURS
OUR PRELIMINARY SALE OF FURS WAS A SUC
CESS. Furs are high in price, but they will be higher. If
you have any thought of buying this season, don't delay.
Misses' and children's department all ready in apple
pie order.
SILKS
KILPATRICK'S FOR SILKS. True as usual of the
Utind of silks YOU WILL TAKE PLEASURE IN WEAR-
ING. Here again plaids and stripes are all the go. Vel
vets and Velveteens are here in all the wanted colors.
Not all stores guarantee gloves NOW, but this store
still does. We like to fit all kid and lamb gloves.
MILLINERY
IN THE MILLINERY SECTION business is booming
already. THURSDAY will have a more complete autumn
assortment than we are likely to have at any later date.
Beavers and Velvets first favorites. HATS ARE MANY
of THEM LARGE, with somewhat plain trimmings, ex
cept here and there a little Oriental touch reminding us
that Nippon has close commercial, as well as other rela
tions with us. There is a distinctiveness which will
please, for, however, democratic you may be, you don't
want YOUR HAT wherever you may turn. No cards
this is your invitation.
The moment you enter our doors on Thursday, you
will feel we were about to say, "see the fall atmosphere,"
autumn leaves of every autumn tint and color every
where. At dress goods section, huge plaids and broad
stripes for pleated skirts. We will not urge buying, for
each day adds to the value of our stock. DON'T SPECU
LATE! But it is just as reasonable and proper to supply
immediate needs as it is to LAY IN YOUR STOCK OF
COAL.
SHOES! SHOES! SHOES!
No seasonal story on dress would be complete
without a word or two on shoes.
"SHOES MADE by 'BAKER' of NEW YORK," means
shoes made from the best obtainable stock, made by the
best workmen, made in the best manner. We show some
styles which cannot be duplicated. Browns of various
shades, with the military heel, a favorite in the east, is
the "Rivoli.'' As the name would indicate this shoe is
FRENCHY. Its build and style in happier days would
surely be seen on the "BOIS" and the "CHAMPS ELY
SEE," BUT ALAS NOT NOW. Government orders pro
hibit Baker from duplicating some of these so if you
would have something "EXCLUSIVE" don't delay.
If the tongues of these shoes could talk, they would
advise you to supply REASONABLE winter wants now
and unanimously they would say buy "BAKER" SHOES
FOR SATISFACTION.
Our Bedding Sale
Sixteen days ago we started a bedding sale, and we
expected to say something to you from time to time about
it. Our business, however, has been so brisk that we had
all we could attend to, and so we abstained.
Today is the first approach to "before the sale busi
ness," and as it betokens a little lull, we deem it wise in
your interest to quote a few items for Thursday's selling: ill
