TP THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1918. V 7iiroD urn " HAVE BIG MAIL ORDER HOUSE W. A. Ellis Attends to All Sorts of Needs for Omaha Sol diers Now, Fighting for U. S. VV. A. Ellis, assistant commission ei of the Chamber of Commerce, is conducting the greatest combined correspondence school and mail or der house in Omaha. This business has been built up within the last 12 months. He gives his correspondence school instruc tion for nothing and his mail order goods at the same reasonbale prices. And he has no customers but sol diers and sailors. Ah, now you see what it is. He is general manager of the operations of the war activities committee of the Chamber of Commerce, which sends all kind of things to the boys in camp, , on the sea and "over there." , Every day he gets from a dozen to three dozen post cards and let ters from Omaha boys, requesting numerous things that they need and can't get Cigarets, safety razors, having brushes, shaving soap, Cop enhagen snuff, magazines, newspa persthese are some of the things the boys ask for. ; , Omaha Pays the Bill. They are paid for out of a fund of $25,000 raised a few weeks ago among the people of .Omaha. And never, surely, did $25,000 do more good than that $25,000 is doing. ' Mr. Ellis sits down at his desk in the morning and opens his mail. Then he gets busy in the corre spondence department, dictating a kind, fatherly letter to each soldier or sailor, telling how we are think ing of him at home arid wish him gooa iuck ana an mat sort ot thing, y'know. Ellis knows how to do it, , 'because he has a son in the army. Then the order department gets v busy, this department also bejng made op of Mr. Ellis. And the cig , arets, razors, comfort kits, etc., are duly packed and addressed and sent And by this time there is more mail. Let us step into the correspond ence school department, which is ' located at the same desk as all the rest of this gigantic concern. Here we find Prof. Ellis writing to the boys who have sent in requests for i books of various kinds. Some want "drill books." Others, books oh gas . engines. Last week a boy asked for a book on first aid to the in jured. Ellis couMn't find any. Fi nally Dean Cutter of the University of Nebraska medical college told Jiim where he could get it in Chi- "8". ma me Doy nas tnat book now. All Sorts of Tasks. Various other activities are car ried on. Some of the boys write to have their suit cases traced or to have some of their private affairs attended in h "Manaper Ellis gets rinht on the. lob. -otHWfkaft4ytiiies the sol i f er that it has been done. 'boy Scouts Will Not Take- Part In Fourth Loan Drive Boy Scouts will not participate in the coming Liberty bond campaign as a result of Thursday announce mittee that the drive will be con mittee that the drlvew ill be con ducted by an army of bond sales men. However, youthful Scouts are of fered inducements by the Treasury department to continue their war savings stamp campaign. An "Ace" medal will be awarded to each Scout disposing of $250 worth of stamps among 25 or more """viduals. For each additional -$100 worth sold, the juveirle sales man will receive a "PaW. medal, similar to that awarded the French army "ace." .

Then the gallant French fighters advanced more than' twelve miles ijorth of the Oise river,"' and are" still going strong. General Humbert, by his distinguished ser vice since the early days of the war, has proven himself one of the most capable of the French leaders. , Jfo lienor JlJJartQT Kaiisas City Man Will Head Missouri Valley Doctors for Next Year Dr. Charles Wood Fasset of Kan sas City, former secretary of the association, was elected president of the Medical Society of the Missouri Valley, at their meeting Friday.

' AH of this the .Blaisdells heard from Miss Maggie in addition to seeing it in the newspapers. But very soon, from Miss Maggie, they began to learn more. Before a fort night had passed Miss Flora re ceived another letter from Chicago that sent her flying as before to her sister-in-law. "Jane, Jane, Maggie's met him," she cried, breathlessly bursting into the kitchen where Jane was paring the apples that she would not trust to the maid's more trustful knife. "Met him! Met who?" "Mr. Fulton. She talked with him! She wrote me all about it." "Our Mr. Fulton?" "Flora!" with a hasty twirl of a now reckless knife Jane finished the last apple, set the pan on the table before the maid and hurried her visitor into the living room. "Now, tell me quick what did she say? Is he nice? Did she like H"i? Did he know she belonged to us?" "Yes yes everything," nodded Miss Flora, sinking into a chair. "She liked him real well, she said, and he knows alfbout that she belongs o us. She said he was real inter est in us. Oh, I hope she didn't tell him about Fred I" "And that awful gold mine stock," moaned Jane. "But she wouldn't I know she wouldn't!" "Of course she wouldn't," cried Flora.' " 'Tisn't like Maggie one bitl She'd only tell the nice things. I'm Author ot "Pollyanna.' ai.ro An4 n( mure tViiM tell him 1 auiv. . ... .) v nw. ww, - - - - ------ how pleased we were with the money 1" "Yes, of course, of course. And to think she's met him really met him!" breathed Jane. "Mellicent!" She turned an excited face to her daughter, who had just entered the room. 'What do you think? Aunt Flora's just had a letter f-v .A;int Maggie, and she's met Mr. Fulton actually tallrtd with him 1" "Really? Oh, how perfectly spien didl Is he nice? Did she like him?" Miss Flora laughed. "That's just what your mother asked. Yes, he's real nice your Aunt Maggie says, and she likes him very much." "But how'd she dV it? How'd she happen to meet him?" demanded Jane. "Well, it seems he knew Mr. Tyn dall, and Mr. Tyndall brought him home one night and introduced him to his wife and Maggie; and since then he's been very nice to them. He's taken them out in his automo bile, and taken them to the theater twice.1' "That's because she belongs to us, of course," nodded Jane wisely. "Yes, I suppose so,' agreed Flora. "Arid I think it's very kind of him." "Pooh!" sniffed Mellicent airily, "I think he does it because he wants to. You never did appreciate Aunt Mag gie. I'll warrant she's nicer and sweeter and and, yes, prettier, than lots of those old Chicago women. Aunt Maggie looked positively hand some that day she left here last July. She looked so so absolutely happy! Probably he likes to take her to nlaces. Anvhow. I'm Had she's having one good time before she dies." "Yes, so am I, my dear. We all are," sighed Miss Flora. "Poor Maggie 1" "i only wish he'd marry her and and give her a good time all her life," avowed Me.licent, lifting her chin. ' "Marry her!" exclaimed two scornful voices. "Well, why not? She's good enough for him," bridled Mellicent, "Aunt Maggie's good enough for anybody!" "Of course she is, child!" laughed Miss Flora. ."Maggie's a saint if ever there was one." "Yes, but I shouldn't call her a marrying saint," smiled Jane. "Well, I don't know about that," frowned Miss Flora thoughtfully. "Hattie always declared there'd be a match between her and Mr. Smith, you know." "Yes. But there wasn't one, was there?" twitted Jane. "Well, then, I shall stick to my original state ment that Maggie Duff is a saint, all right, but not a marrying one un less someone marries her now for her money, of course." "As if Aunt Maggie'd stand for that!" scoffed Millicent. "Besides, she wotfdn't have to! Aunt Maggie's good enough to be married for her self." . 'There, there, child, just because you are a lovesick little piece of ro mance just now, you needn't think everybody else is, her mother re proved her a little sharply. But Mellicent only laughed merri ly as she disappeared into her own room.
