Wealthy Indian Woman
Ranch Owner Expert
In Business ;
Mrs. Ed Lannigan, Descendant of
Shoshoni Indians, at South Side
Market to Look After Live Stock
Interests.
After a successful summer on her
'little" ranch of 800 acres. Mrs. Ed
Lannigan, reputed to be the wealth
iest woman in all the broad state oi
Wyoming, is in Omaha for a shop
ping tour. This motherly looking
woman with her bright eyes and
shining black hair thinks her estate
a very small one and is very mod
est about her work of raising fine
cattle for the market.
Despite her cultured speech and
charming manner one has visions of
the council fires and gay wigwams
of that race of redskins who were
monarchs of ihe fields and forests
when our land was young, .for
Mr.i. Lannigan bears the striking
marks of her descendants, as her
mother was a member of the Sho
shoni tribe of Indians. Her father
was a Scotchman and she was born
and reared in the little town of
Du Bois, Wyo. j
After her marriage to Mr. Lan-
nigan she was introduced to ranch
life and here she has made her
home. Undaunted by her husband's
death, she has managed the ranch
herself, assisted by her three daugh
ters, May, Cora and Clara Lanni
gan. Mrs. Lannigan is loath to
leave her beautiful home with its
rolling acres, but plans to pass the
winter in California with her two
daughters, Misses Cora and Clara,
tvho are now with her in Omaha. -
Winning the war is very near to
the hearts of the westerners, ac
cording to Mrs. Lannigan, the peo
ple who live on the different
ranches meeting together for Red
Cross work regularly, while the
young girls plan all sorts of dances
and parties for the benefit of the
work.
Mrs. Lannigan spent,,this morn
ing at the South Side stock yards
with her ranch foreman making ar
rangements for. the disposition of
ner came, vv mi ner ousiness trans
actions closed, she will devote her
self to that occupation dearest to
all feminine hearts, shopping for
smart fall clothes. Mrs. Lannigan
. , will pass two weeks in Omaha.

SOCIETY
fl'AV WW--
Mrs. Thomas Billotta, a Liberty
loan worker of Boston, has hit upon
a novel plan for increasing the sales
of bonds of the fourth issue. In
the uniform of the famous and im
mortal Bersaglieri troops of Italy
Mrs. Billotta has been making a
spirited drive in the Italian quarter of
the city. She has rolled up a great
total in the sale of bonds, and bids
fair to lead the individual sales
people in the present drive.
Netta Blair are the three student
nurses and Miss Vera Rechmeyer
the graduate nurse.
Enters Student Nurse Corps.
Miss Donna Mathews, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Mathews,
left Monday for Fort Des Moines
to enter training as a nurse at the
base hospital there. Although Miss
Mathews has had no training, the
great demand for nurses at this
time made it possible for her to
enter an army hospital at once.
Miss Mathews, who is the niece
of Mr. and Mrs. Casper E. Yost, at
tended Oberlin college where she
specialized in music. At the time
of her enlistment in the service of
her country Miss Mathews was a
teacher in the Omaha public

Desserts Which the Food
"Administration Eats
It is always interesting to know
how people live up to what they
are preaching. The magazines for
a time were filled with stories of
the Hoovers' private life and espe
cially of the foods served at their
table. The food administration has
recently sent the newspapers some
interesting material on the prac
tices of the food administration caf
eteria. It is given verbatim below:
Some time ago the newspapers
stated that the cafeteria in the head
quarters building of the United
States food administration had
served 6,000 meals with only 50
pounds of sugar. This would mean
less than a teaspoonful for each
meal. After hearing that one is nat
urally curious to know what sort of
desserts were eaten. Here are
some recipes which tell their own
story. They are in terms of 100
serviitgs. These recipes should be
helpful to those who have to pre
pare .big luncheons or suppers for
churches or women's clubs.
