Peters Trust Company
Opens Department for
v Sale Steampship Tickets
The Peters Trust company, acting
as local representative of the large
steamship lines, has opened a new
department through which it will
sell steamship tickets to all parts
of the ' world, and also drafts on
foreign countries.
This important' change in the
method of handling local steamship
business has been brought about by
the government administration of
railroads. The different steamship
lines have heretofore been repre
sented in Omaha by the different
railroads entering the city. When
the government took over the rail
roads and consolidated the ticket
offices, all the steamship lines were
notified that thereafter the railroads
would not handle the sale of steam
ship tickets. This business has been
turned over here to the Peters Trust
company by the steamship lines.
The Peters Trust company has
been appointed agent, and will sell
tickets for the following steamship
t :

Omaha Attorney Receives
Commission In Reserves
Arthur Thomsen, a prominent
Omaha attorney, who . joined the
balloon section of the arfny' shortly
after war was declared by this coun
try, has been informed that he has
been commissioned a second lieu
tenant in the reserve corps. A com
mission as second lieutenant was
granted him on April 21 of this
year, but upon learning that his
father was of German birth, the
commission was held up. Consid
erable difficulty was experienced by
Mr. Thomsen in getting the matter
straightened out satisfactorily, and
a letter just received from Wash
ington informs him that he is now
a second lieutenant, and has been
placed in the reserve corps.

South Side Brevities'
Scoutmaster Stewart of Troop 28
has written this "yell" for Omaha
scouts: v ' -'
; "Work a little, play a little, scout
a little, too.
''Do a good turn daily and help
another through. 1
j "Are we in it? Well, I guess;
- "Boy Scouts, Omaha, Yes, Yes,
Yes."
Scout Scribe Ernest Staudacher
of Troop 45 writes of the activities
of that troon: "On Nnvimhpr 6
the scouts of Troop 45 will again
take up their weekly business meet
ing, and all are requested, to be
present. A "big" time is forecasted
for the day and will commence at
7:00 p. m. Several of the scouts will
"not be present for they will pass
their second class test before the
Board of Boy Scouts council on this
night and these are excused from
the meeting. Troop 45 had no
meeting for the last 'four or five
weeks on account of the Spanish
"flu" epidemic, so therefore Scout
Masters J. N. Nachtigall and P. G.
Gross of Troop 45 will have a spe
cial address for the troop." ,

National Field Organizer Here
Tells Why America Must
Raise Greater Crops
Next Year.
'Edwin S. Shortess, national field
organizer of the United States Boy's
Worlang reserve of the department
of labor, Washington, was in Oma
ha Saturday conferring with Ll W.
T ester, state director and Thomas
P. Curran, associate state director.
Mr. Shortess brouehf word from
Washington that Nebraska is one of
the leading states in the number of
boys enrolled and results obtained
in this work. Mr. Curran and Mr.
Shortess were in Lincoln yesterday
conferring with the bureau of edu
cation in furtherance of their work.
35,000 Boys Enrolled.
Speaking of the enrollment of the
boys in thi$ state Mr. Curran- said:
"Returns from 23 counties out
over the state show the enrollment
of 3,900 boys while Douglas coun
ty has enrolled 5,000. We estimate
that the entire enrollment in the
state will reach 35,000. Word has
just been received from -the national
director of the work at Washington
nying that he is delighted with the
registration in Nebraska."
It is the intention of i.ur depart
ment" said Mr. Shortess, "to im
press upon the people the necessity
for raising more foodstuff the pres
ent year than ever before. So many
people think, now that an armistice
has been signed, that the conserva
tion of food and the raising of it
in added quantities are no longer
necessary.
Homes in Peril.
!l A telegram just received from
Mr. Hoover says that right here in
the United States, millions of homes
are in peril, and it is necessary .o
produce this year 20,000,000 tons of
tooa stuff as against 11,000,000 last
year. Official figures of the depart
ment ot agriculture show that our
small grain- crop during the past
year was 25,000,000 bushels less
than the year previous, while the
Argentine and . Australian crops
have been damaged by weevil to
the extent of 150,000,000 bushels.
" The department is asking for a
wheat acreage of 65,000,000 for the
coming year. Not only is this true
of grain, but also of pork, dairy
and vegetable products. So you
can see why we Art anxious that
every boy in the United States ap
ply every minute of his spare time
in helping to produce the great food
supply so necessary to the entire
world the coming year."
