4 THE BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1918. POULTRY SHOW WITHOUT HARES SEEMS CERTAIN Poultry Association and Rabbit Breeders Disagree and In dependent Exhibit May Be Looked For. Owing to a disagreement with the Omaha Poultry association, which lias just been incorporated, as to their share of expense for partici pating in the annual poultry show which is to be given at the Auditor ium some time this winter, the prob abilities are that the Omaha breed ers of utility hares, rabbits and pet stock will hold an independent show. For some years past the pet stock show, which consisted largely of en tries of the various breeds of meat producing hares and rabbits, and alsor cavies, has been held in con junction with the poultry , show. Tl.'.s division of the annual exhibit has grown in extent and importance with each succeeding year. In the last few months the num ber of persons engaged in the rab bit industry in Omaha and Douglas county has increased several hun dred per cent'aiftf the show the com ing winter promises to be the largest of the kind ever held in the west, -both as to the number of entries and the quality of the exhibits. Members of the Omaha Rabbit Breeders' association feel, under the circumstances, unless some com promise is made with the poultry organization, they will be coin oelled to organize their own show, rent a large buillding in the down town section and give an indepen dent exhibition some time during the winter. The split-up may affect the at tractiveness of the poultry show for the reason that, one of the most at tractive sections last winter was that of the rabbits and pet stock. War Exhibit of German Trophies is Delayed The Allied War exhibit of Ger man trophies and other material which was reported to be here the latter part of this week has been delayed to await the arrival of some material from Europe. This an nouncement is made by T. C. liyrne, chairman of the state Lib erty loan committee. The report that it was to be here Thursday and Friday came from a railroad of fice which had a schedule of the tour of the exhibit. As the tour has been postponed it will arrive in Omaha some time later. OB.riOEY! MONEY! , mLleanorJI.IJartQr C-a Auhw a "PAllvanna i'oW-right by Eleanor it.

And. listen. I think you d better plan to go pretty soon after "But we have just proved that j I go to South. America. Then you to do that wouldn't bring happiness anywhere, and would bring misery everywhere, haven't we?" "V-yes." 'Then why do it? particularly as by not doing it I am not defraud ing anybody in the least, no; that part isn't worrying me a bit now but there is one point that does worry me very much." "What do you mean? What is can be there when Mr. Stanley G. Fulton arrives m Chicago and can write the news here to Hillerton. "Oil, they'll get it in the papers, in time, ot course; but had better come from it r ' "Yourself. My scheme gets Stan ley G. Fulton back to life and Chi cago very nicely; but it doesn't get Maggie Duff there worth a cent! Maggie Duff can't marry Mr. JohnSmith in Hillerton and arrive' in Chicago as the wife of btanley G. Fulton, can she?" "No-no, but he he can come back and get her if he wants her." Miss Maggie blushed. ''If he wants her, indeed 1" (Miss Maggie blushed all the more at the method and the fervor of Mr. Smith's answer to this.) "Come back as Mr. Stanley G. Fulton, you mean?" went on Mr. Smith, smil ing at Miss Maggie's hurried ef forts to smooth her ruffled hair. "Too risky, my dear! He'd look al together too much like like Mr. John Smith." "But your beard will be gone I wonder how I shall like you without a beard." She eyed him critically. Mr. Smith laughed and threw up his hands with a doleful shrug. "That's what comes of courting as one man and marrying as an other," he groaned. Then, sternly: "I'll warn you right now, Maggie Duff, that Stanley G. Fulton is go ing to be awfully jealous of John Smith if vou don't look out." ' "He should have thought of that j before," retorted Miss Maggie, her I eyes mischievous. "But, tell me, I wouldn't you ever dare to come in your proper person?" "Never! or, at least, not for some ! time. - The beard would be gone, to be sure; but there d be all the rest to tattle eyes, voice, size, manner, walk everything; and smoked glasses couldn't cover all that, you know. Besides, classes would be i taboo, anyway. They'd only result ! in making me look more like John j Smith than ever. John Smith, you remember, wore smoked glasses for i some time to hide Mr. Stanley G. "We will be able to give the peo- ; "om tne u"qs Po; o Uoct l ,r .!.,.., n( I tr. i0. xlT. Olcimcy VI. I imuil v.an i intr the money. At any rate, she hasn't said anything about it very lately perhaps because she's been too busy bemoaning the pass the present nloney has brought them to." "Yes, I know," frowned Mr. Smith, with a gloomy sigh. "That miserable money!" "No, no I didn't mean to bring that up," apologized Miss Maggie quickly, with an apprehensive glance into his face. "And it wasn't mis erable money a bit! Besides, Hattie has has learned her lesson, I'm sure, and she'll do altogether dif ferently in the new home. But, Mr. Smith, am I never to to come back here? Can't we come back ever?" "Indeed we can some time, by and by, when all this had blown over, and they've forgotten how Mr. Smith looks. We can come back then. Meanwhile, you can come alone a very little. I shaa't let you ieave me very much. But I un derstand; you'll have to come to see your friends. Besides, there are all those playgrounds for the babies and cleaner milk for the streets, and-" "Cleaner milk for the streets, in deed !" "Eh? What? Oh, yes, that was the milk for the babies, wasn't it?" he teased "Well, however, that may be, you'll have to come back to superin tend all those things you ve been wanting to do so long. But" his face grew a little wistful "you don't want to spend too much time here. You know Chicago has a few babies that need cleaner milk." "Yes, I know, I know!" Her face grew softly luminous as it had grown earlier in the afternoon. i 4 - pie the exact time when this interesting exhibit will be here, says Mr. Byrne. Women Wanted as Drivers by Omaha Coal Dealers Any woman who wants to drive a coal wagon can get a job with an Omaha coal concern, The work is healthful, giving plenty of oppor tunity for exercise in the open air, say the coal dealers. The request came Wednesday to Mrs. Mabel Walker, in charge of the Chamber of Commerce Wo man's Employment bureau. The coal company said it was so short of men to deliver coal that, it decided to try the women. Mrs. Walker replied that she had no applications from women for positions as coal heavers. "And I hope I never will have," she added. "That kind of work is hard enough even for men." Hotel Conant Has Great Crowd at Formal Opening Omahans turned out by hundreds yesterday to attend the opening of the city's newest hostelry, the Ho tel Conant. The lobby and second floor was a veritable bower of flowers sent by the friends of Harley Conant and all day and evening crowds throng ed the lobby and inspected the floors of the hotel. Two hundred guests were registered at the hotel on the day of the formal opening. - Last night the-cafe on the second floor and the restaurant in the base ment were crowded. Mr. Conant expressed pleasure at the interest and geniuine enthusiasm displayed by the visitors at the opening. Billiard Parlors Give Men in U. S. Uniform Free Play Proprietors of Omaha billiard par lors are granting free use of the tables in their places of business to soldiers and sailors in uniform one day each week.

On the days desig nated, all men in uniform will be allowed use of the tables free of charge. come to Hillerton. So, as Mahomet can't go to the mountain, the moun tain must come to Mahomet." "Meaning?" Miss Maggie's eyes were growing dangerously mu tinous. "That you will have to come to Chicago yes." "And court you? No, sir thank you!" . Mr. Smith chuckled softly. . "t- love you with your head tilted that way." (Miss Magie promptly tilted it the other.) "Or that, either, for that matter," continued Mr. Smith genially. "However, speaking of courting Mr. Fulton will do that, all right, and endeavor to leave nothing lacking, either as to quantity or quality. Think, now. Don't you know any one in Chicago? Haven't you got some friend that you can visit?" "No!" Miss Maggie's answer was prompt and emphatic too prompt and too emphatic for unquestion ing acceptance. "Oh. yes you have," asserted the man cheerfuly. I don't know her name hut she's there. She's waving a red flag in your face this minute! Now, listen. Well, turn your head away, if you like if you can listen better that way," he went on tran quilly, paying n6 attention to her gasp. "Well, all you have to do is to write the lady you're coming, and go. Never mind who she is Mr. Stanley G. Fulton will find a way to meet her. Trust him for that! Then he'll call and meet you and be so pleased to see you! The rest will be easy. There'll be a regular whirl wind courtship then calls, dinners, theaters, candy, books, flowers! Then Mr. Stanley G. Fulton will pro pose marriage. You'll be immensely surprised, of course, but you'll ac cept. Then we'll get married," he finished with a deep sigh of satisfac tion. "Mr. Smith!" ejaculated Miss Mag gie, faintly. "Say, can't you call me anything " he began wrathfully. but inter rupted himself. "However, it's bet ter that you don't, after all. Be cause I've got to be 'Mr. Smith' as long as I stay here. But you wait till you meet Mr. Stanley G. Fulton in Chicago! Now, what's her name, and where does she live?" Miss Maggie laughed in spite of herself, as she said severely: "Her name, indeed! I'm afraid Mr. Stao leyG. Fulton is so in the habit of having his own way that he forgets he is still Mr. John Smith.

Flora took out her purse and said that she would pay for hers now; but Mr. Smith hastily, and with some evident embarrassment, refused the money, saying that he could not tell yet what the price of the book would be. All the Blaisdells, except Frank, Fred and Bessie, went to the sta tion to see Mr. Smith off. T,hy said they wanted to. They told him he was just like one of the family, anyway, and they declared thev hoped he would" come back soon. Frank telephoned him that he would have gone, too. if he had not had so much to do at the store. Mr. Smith seemed pleased at all this attention he seemed, indeed, quite touched; but he seemed also embarrassed during those last few days at Hillerton.

"But you aren't expecting that twenty millions are going to right all the wrongs in the world, are you?" Mr. Smith's eyes were quizzi cal. "No, oh, no; but we can help some that we know about. But it isn't that 1 just want to give, you know. We must get behind things to the causes. We must " ' "We must make the Mr. Dalys pay more to their girls before they pay anything to pension funds, eh?" laughed Mr. Smith, as Miss Maggie came to a breathless pause. "Exactly!" nodded Miss Maggie, earnestly. "Oh. can't you see what we can do with that twenty mil lion dollars?" Mr. Smith, his gaze on Miss Mag gie's flushed cheeks and shining eyes, smiled tenderly. Then with mock severity he frowned. "I see that I'm bTing married for my money after all!" he scolded. "Pooh!" sniffed Miss Maggie, so altogether bewitchingly that Mr. Smith gave her a rapturous kiss. CHAPTER XXV. Exit Mr. John Smith. Early in July Mr. Smith took his departure from Hillerton. He made a farewell call upon each of the Blaisdell families and thanked them heartily for all their kindness in assisting him with his Blaisdell book. The Blaisdells, one and all, said they were very sorry to have him go and Miss Flora frankly wiped her eves and told Mr. Smith she Helena Woman Visiting Here Hurt in Auto Crash Mrs. George A. Redding of Helena, Mont., who is visiting her sister, Mrs. George Reitri, 303 Hap py Hollow boulevard, had one of her legs broken Tuesday evening, when an automobile in which she was riding and driven by Mrs. Reini, overturned at Forty-ninth and Dodge streets. She was taken to Nicholas Senn hospital, where phy sicians stated the limb might have to be amputated.
