South Side
MANY FAMILIES
ASK CHARITIES
FOR ASSISTANCE
South Side Branch Caring for
Seventy-Five; Influenza
Cause in Many
Cases.
Seventy-five families are being
cared for on the South Side by the
Associated Charities, according to
., Mrs. Anna Born of the South Side
branch. Mrs. Born says that in
f nearly every case either the father,
the mother or both have been ill
with influenza. In a number of cases
the father has died, leaving a large
family for the mother to provide
for.
Mrs. Born also calls atteniion to
the large number of people who have
come to Omaha, lured by the high
wages paid. Many of these people
' are from the country and have been
forced by crop failures or other ad
verse conditions to come to the city
for jobs. With little or no financial
reserve, they are forced to appeal
to the charities in case of sickness.
Former South Omaha
Soldier Sends Mother
. Mexican Souvenirs
When Mrs. B. J. Arnold of 4410
South Twenty-fourth street, opened
a letter from her son, Pri. C. E. Ar
nold, and saw two criso bills float
lightly to the floor she exclaimed.
with delight, Why the boy s been
promoted."
On closer investigation, however,
she found that the bills, one a five
and one a 20, were made in Mexico.
The letter explained that they were
worthless in the United States.
Young Arnold, who is a former
South Side boy, is stationed at Fort
Bliss, El Paso, Tex. Several weeks
ago, he writes, his company was
equipped for overseas duty. He was
much elated at the thought of see
ing duty in France, and even pre
pared a letter to his people, which
he gave to a less fortunate chum to
mail after he had sailed. Jut as
they were getting on a train for the
port of debarkation, however, orders
were received to remain at Fort
Bliss, and his hopes were shattered.
