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.

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.

PEGGY held her ears tieht. but
even so she could hear the aw
ful roaring clamor growing
louder and louder. 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

the head cut off at the shoulders was
found early today between Duluth
'and Virginia. IT ;. body was identi-

He was last seen on July 23, start

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!"
