3 THE BEE; OMAHA, WEpNESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1918. r ARMOUR STARTS ADVERTISING IN .-UNUSUAL WAY Relation of Great Plant to the Community is Being Ex ploited in New Publicity. A unique advertising campaign is being started in Omaha by Armour & Co. to direct attention to the mu tual interests of the big packing plant and the community in which Jt is located, although put out by a private business institution, is really community publicity emphasizing the elements which come in contact with it rather than exploitation of the articles sold on the market. - "What we are trying to do," says R. C. Howe, manager of the Ar- tnour plant in Omaha, "is to show what the benefit of an organization like ours is, not only to the com munity at large, to the producer of live stock we purchase, to the labor ing people we employ, but to all the business interests generally., "The very fact that we pav out $74,500,000 for live stock, $3,500,000 for supplies and over $4,000,000 for wages and salaries per year right here measures the value of such an industry to Omaha, as it naturally attracts the. producer to this market to do his purchasing, and the wage .earner, of course, spends all of his earnings Here. We want tue busi ness men to rca izc tins mure fnHv. "To illustrate in another way, Ar mour Lo. Has at tins point i,ms CIIipiUJ C3, ItWCiy Miypui Ling lltlllll- ies, and, counting five to a family, this means 14,315 persons dependent upon this one industry. Their very presence here brings business to tradespeople io supply mem wun the necessary items of food, clothing and other commodities. They buy homes or rent houses, patronize amusement olaces. attend church. and contribute a big share to the total of the city's activities. Enormous Business Done. "Our volume of business done here in a year was in round figures $84,000,000, while not over 5 per cent of our goods were sold in ter ritory tributary to Omaha, so our organization, we feci sure, is a financial benefit to the community, not to mention our, share, of the tax burdens and contributions to pub lic enterprise. " s "We are rot claiming special credit, but we do not believe, as I nave said, the importance of our organization is fully realized, or that :he community .takes as much ad vantage of it for exploitation as it i .night. That is why we are in lugurating this advertising cam paign, which lays special stress up on Omaha, which will share the benefits of this publicity as mufch or nore than we will." Retailers' Profit on . tm oaies rxeeruiatea By Food Authorities - ri Retailers storing eggs during the 1918 season will be nermitted ito take a miximum . ofit of not more than 21 per cent when such eggs are sold announces Gurdon W. Wat tles, federal food administrator for Nebraska. The ruling applies only in rftailpre whn are thp nricinal storer of the eggs. Mr Wattles announces that the rule denying sugar to distributors and bakers starting in business af ter July 1, 1918, has been modified to the extent that wholesale or" re tail grocers, co-operative stores and bakers, wno wisn to start in busi ness or may have started in busi ness since July 1, may have sugar should the Nstate administrator, af ter investigation, decide the appli , cant is entitled to it.

Central High School Activities Central High school reopened yes terday after the four weeks' quar antine for the Spanish influenza. The epidemic, although afflicting many of 'the students, cauused few deaths among them. The funeral of. Charlton Troxell, a new student, was held Monday.

Principal Matters annouunced yes terday that the time lost during the epidemic would be made up by elim inating a week of Christmas vaca tion by eliminating the spring vaca tion, by doing more intensive work, by omitting less essential portions 6f the courses, by going to school the Friday after Thanksgiving and by holding the teachers' -convention during the Christmas vacation. The fall term will last 17 weeks. Edwin Puis, debating coach, has resigned to enter the training camp at Fort Snelling. He will specialize in bayonet drill and instruct the members of the Bellevue S.

Miss Caroline Stringer is planning with Principal Masters to enroll all Central High boys above 16 years of age in the1 reserve on November 14. Because most of the boys possess cadet uniforms it is likely that the -United States B. W. R. cap will not be worn. Boys registering ' for agricultural work will be given a "plowshare" pin and boys wishing to do industrial work will wear an "anvil" insignia. The boys will fill out cards and check their choice of certain essential oc cupations listed. They will be urged to choose, farm work. The October issue of the Register will be distributed Friday.

A section from the Taminosian document follows: "The plaintiff proposes that if the defendant confesses judgment and surrender $200 in Liberty bonds to the court, after all of plaintiff's claims are settled, that the balance be given to the Douglas county hos pital with 40 per cent of plaintiff's fee charged 4o the defendant oi this suit, and if the proposition be accepted, said plaintiff will consider it as a vindication of his honor and will promise faithfully that he will not reopen his libel suit against the defendant, but if defendant refuses to surrender, plaintiff will continue his legal battle to the extreme lim its of the law until victory is won."

NEW CITY PARK TO BE BUILT ON THE SOUTH SIDE Council Passes Resolutions fop, Park Between Thirteenth and Eighteenth Streets; to Contain 70 Acres. Another splendid park was added to Omaha's park system by a resolu tion passed by city .council Monday morning. It will be on the South Side, occupying an irregular area bounded by Thirteenth, Eighteenth, O and W streets. It has an area of 70 acres, being a little larger tiian Hanscojm park. Commissioner Towl has drawn the plans for a park here which, for beauty and utility, will be second to none in Omaha. At present it is wild land, cut up by ravines and so hilly that it is unsuitable for resi dence development. A few homes ae in it. A large delegation of leading citi zens of the South Side declared that the park is needed and wanted by most of the people. Joe Koutsky said that 95 per cent of the people want the park. South Siders Want Park. ' "The cost of the project, if assessed against the property of the South Side, will be cheerfully paid by nearly all the people because this park means increased real estate val uations," he said. The resolution passed leaves the way open to acquire the property and assess the cos to the people most benefited. Actual development work ought to start within a year, Commissioner Towl says. George Morton of the city plan ning commmission was also present and spoke in favor of this area as a park. He said it has most of the natural beauty of Fairmont park, Council Bluffs. The plans call for three large play fields, one each at the south, westj and north ends; two base ball dia monds, one of them with a grand stand; a swimming pool, and a lake. Classy Name Wanted. Commissioner Towl wants to get a "classy" name, preferably of In dian origin for the park. He says some of the high points were used in ages past by the Mandan Indians as lookout points. A view of the river and valley for many miles can be obtained from these high points. South Side advocates of the im provement also declared that the park is a necessity as a playground for the children of that part of tho city. ' Eventually it is proposed to join.1 this park by boulevards to Mandan park, Spring Lake park and River view park. " GLASSES "CORRECTLY" FITTED O. J.
