JEWISH WOMEN TO SEND ONE OF GIRLSJO FRANCE .Woman's Auxiliary to ETnai :. B'rith to Finance Member for Canteen Work Over There. Jewish young women of Omaha, comprising the woman's auxiliary to the B'nai B'rith order, will finance one of their number forced Cross canteen work in France. This was ' decided at a meeting, held Thurs day evening in the Jewish welfare club rooms in the Lyric building, called to outline the organization's war work plans for the winter. . The president, Miss Blanche Bes sel; Mrs. Harry A. Wolf. Miss Lib bie Katleman and Miss Ella Fleishman, make up committee named to plan means for raising $2,000 to finance the worker for one year. Leo Rosenthal of the Jewish ' welfare board is advisor. A further war work program, in cluding reclamation work each Tuesday evening from 7 to9 o'clock in the Service league rooms at 311 -South Seventeenth street; Red Cross surgical dressings work Thursday evenings in the public work shop; organization of a French class to meet Wednesday evening and formation of a com pany to join the Comrade club of the Service league, was adopted. The qlub will also form a unit Pa triotic league unit in the War Camp Community Service. Twenty members present at last night's meeting subscribed over $100 to the Jewish war relief fund. Four Bits for Hair Qui; Two Bits for Shave New Price at Barber Sliops Buffalo Bill hair cuts and grand father beards will no doubt become popular in Omaha shortly, since the barbers' union has advanced the price to 50 cents for a hair cut and 25 cents for a shave. - This increase was voted at a meeting of the master craftsmen and journeymen of the profession held at the Paxton hotel Thursday evening at 8:30 o'clock. The chance in price does not go into effect un til October 15, giving all an oppor tunity to have a last clean shave and clipping before prices get beyond the limits of the por man's purse. W. C. Simmons of the South Side, who 'addressed the meeting on the question of prices, carried his au- "dience with him, the vote which was taken after his address resulting in an almost unanimous demand for the increase. Claim is made that the cost of materials used has gone out of sight, and increased living expenses must be provided for by larger profits in the business. 44 99 By DADDY THE BIRD SOLDIERS 4 A Complete, New Aihenttm Each Wwk.

It seemed as though it would never stop. Just when she felt she could stand it no longer, the shaking of the steeple began to urow less violent. Gradually the pounding clanuror sub sided. After a while she found she could take her hands from her ears. The air was still filled with a loud, musical humming, but the noise was no longer unpleasantly deafening. Peggy turned her scared face toward Billy Belgium. "Has something awful happened?" she shouted shrilly, making her voice heard above the hum. "Only the chtwch bell ringing!' he shouted back, grinning broadly Peggy felt a bit foolish, for she thought there must have been some thing like an earthquake to cause all that commotion. But then she had never been near a big bell when it roared out its song. And here she had been suspended right above it with the sounding board just over her head. .Billy Belgium was looking over the edge of the beam. "Look! Look!" he cried excitedly. Nerving herself for a new thrill, WZgy cautiously peered down. There hung the eight Rats swaying at the ends of the strings. But they were not swaying from any motion of their own. They dangled still and lifeless. "Dead!" shouted Billy Belgium. "They hung where the bell hit them as it swung back and forth. It has battered the life out of them!" "Coo-coo! Coo-coo!" cried the Pigeons, but to Peggy the "coo- coo! appeared to be turned into a real American hurrah!" 'They are dead every one of them," declared Blue Peter, who fluttered down to investigate. "Co-coo! Coo-coo." cried the Pigeons again, and then there was rollicking and rejoicing as fathers and mothers cooed over the baby Pigeons which had so narrowly es caped an awful fate. Billy Belgium cut down the dang ling Rats. Then, at his direction, the Pigeons took hold of the strings and dragged the Rats out side, letting them fall far below to the ground. "Don't, let them fall on the side walk," he cautioned, "or you might scare some girl or lady into fits." "I guess any boy qr man would be scared into fits, too, if he had a dead No Decline in Farm Prices, Say Railroad Land Agahts , "The opinion of the railroad land and industrial agents of the central zone is that agricultural land prices will continue to remain firm during the continuance of the war and that after it is over there will be little, if any depreciation," said S. B. Howard, immigration agent for" the Burlington lines west of the Missouri river. .Mr. Howard is back from St. Lfcuis, where he attended a meeting of land and railroad industrial agents, called by C. S. Edwards, gov ernment agent in charge of railroad aricultural promotion. The meeting - was largely attended and the points made bv Mr. Edwards were taken to indicate that during the contin- - u.mce of the war there is little that will be done in the way of attempt ing to promote immigration into new fields. However, the govern ment will ' devote considerable energy to aiding the farmers in the matter of more intensified farming and stock raising, the idea being to make every acre now under cultiva tion produce its maximum. -At the St. Louis meeting, accord- ' ing to Mr. Howard, agents from all locaKties reported a good demand for farm lands, iith prices remain ing very firm. Body of Man is Found with Head Cut from Shoulders " '" Duluth, Sept. 27. A bodv with the head cut off at the shoulders was found early today between Duluth 'and Virginia.

That is why even the peaceful Pigeons are fighting them. Will yon join our forces? Bronze Beauty, Homer Pigeon and Carrie Pigeon promptly fell into line with Blue Peter. Then to Peggy's delighted astonishment, Airy Pouter stepped forward and joined them. "I'm cured!" he said with a de termined glint in his eyes. "I know now what a righteous war means. From this, day forth I'm a fighting pacifist. I'll show yem that 1 love real peace enough to battle for it, and if need be, to die for it." "Coo-coo! Coo-coo!" approved t!.j other Steeple Pigeons, and there stepped into line all the strong young Pigeons. "We'll be fighting pacifists until the world has won real peace!" "Coo-coo; Coo-coo;" came a chorus from "outside. The roof of the church was covered with Pi geons. "Here are our country come to join you, Blue cried Billy Belgium. "1 knew the Birds of America would prove themselves worthy of their country," answered Blue Pe ter, his eyes glowing with joy. "Come! We will start now! .With in a week we will be in our graining camp behind the armies.," "We'll take you home first," cried Carrie and Homer Pigeon to Peggy and Billy. More quickly than she had come, Peggy found herself back on her porch and- once more her usual size. Above her there was a loud flapping -of wings. Looking up, she saw the Pigeons in full fight to the east. "Goodby and good fortune!" she cried, waving at them an American llag that draped the porch. "Coo-coo! We'll do our duty," came the answer. "For peace we fight! For peac! For peace!" (PoSRy In her i.i t adventum has a Jolly and exciting time at the Birds' Carnival.)
