TO GRADUATES Of
CEI1TRAL DIGS
f
) Necessary That Young Stu
, dents Going Out Into World
Be Sound of Mind
and Body.
"Every man and woman worth
lu's or her salt is a lighter," declared
the Rev. Titus Lowe in delivering
tlie baccalaureate sermon to the
mid-winter graduates of th Central'
High school, at the First MetRodist
church Sunday morning.
The subject chosetr by Rev. Mr.
I.owe was "Life At Its Best," and
lie used as a text the 26th verse of
tiie 9th chapter 6f Tsui's letter to
the Corinthians. "So fight I, not as
one that beateth the air." He ex
tolled the life of Paul, which he
characterized as "a pursuit, a race,
a battle," as exemplifying the char
acter necessary in the young stu
dents whom he was addressing as
they step from the school room into
the active things of the world.
"You are being graduated," he
i' said, "when the world is seething
with more unrest than any class
thaf ever graduated from the
vOmaha High school. There was not
as much unrest in 1914, after the
outbreak of the world war, as there
is today. The whole world is seeth
ing with unrest."
Refer to Labor Conditions.
He referred to present day con
ditions in Russia, Germany, Austria
as well as France, Grea't Britian
and the United States referring par
ticularly to the labor convention
in Chicago a few days ago at
which men hissed the American flag.
"Something is wrong right here in
America today. There wis never
a day when unrest and confusion
f was more marked," he added.
He said there had never been a
time when it was more necessary
that young students going out into
the world should be sound of body
ond with sound, responsive and ac
tive minds. '
"The plea for happiness, is the
plea of a weakling" said Reverend
Lowe, "It is not the main thing in
your life, and I want to serve notice
on you, if any of you set out to ob
tain happiness as the sole object of
, you rlife, you will not get it. The
acquisition of gold is not the high
; est motive. It is a gift from God
?nd helps make life worth while, but
it is a gift that may be abused.
The fighter has a motive, and the
acquisition of wealth, personal hap
- your life, you wil1 not get .it. The
piness, personal interests and even
saving one's own life is not the true
motive, but the master motive may
be said to be to make a sincere, even
if modest contribution to the work,
progress and happiness of humanity,
and to make life a little more mean-'
ingful for the coming generation."
Theater Patrons Join '
in Protest Against
Proposed Tax, Raise
Omaha theater manager! are ac
tively participating in the campaign
of protest against. the increased tax
on theater tickets. For the last
three days petitions have been
passed among the audiences assem
bled at the downtown houses, 90
per cent of which are said to be
signed, asking that the tax be made
no higher than it is at present.
The present rate is 10 per cent;
the proposed rate is 20 per cent.
The national association has pro
4. tested at Washington, and has been
j referred to Chairman Kitchin of the
house ways and means committee,
who remains obdurate in his po
sition. Theater managers point out that
the tax will defeat itself iby so re
ducing attendance that many will
have to close. Under the proposed
law the prewar price of a tirst-class
show jumps from $2 to $2.40, or 20
cents more than is now paid. Lower
priced tickets are proportionately
advanced down to tickets costing 30
cents or under, on which the 10 per
cent tax is retained.
The issue is assuming large pro
portions at Washington, where con
grefjmen are receiving thousands of
messages of protest from theater
patrons. ,

"VIRTUOUS WIVES"
CHAPTER L
It lacked a few minutes to 7 by
the gilded clock in the brilliant yel
low salon of the Forresters' apart
ment on the tenth floor of one of
those great (tone bastions which a
society in retreat bs erected to
stem the marcbof the invader. At
the first stroke of the hour, Greg
ory, who had been waiting, entered
the red bedroom of his master, and
closed the heavy windows, through
which, on the crisp September sun
shine, the whistled cries of the
awakening city were already pene
trating. By the time he had ar
ranged the massive lace curtains
of the third window, with its slaten
sweep of chimneyed roofs and the
flowing green of Central park, Mr.
Forrester, who had sprung from his
bed at the first knock, was already
in his riding breeches and drawing
on his boots.
"Well, Gregory, what's the
weather?" he cried, with the vigor
of a man of strong health who
wakas with alacrity to the enthu
siasms of the day.
"It's a lovely morning, sir."
"First rate! Tell Morley Mrs.
Forrester is not to be disturbed
unless she rings."
"Not to be disturbed yes, sir,"
said Gregory, with the impassiveness
of forty years of unemotional ser
vice. His recent marriage had changed
little in the routine of Andrew For
rester's day. The instinct toward
order which dominated his life had
made each step so mechanical that
Gregory himself had acquired the
precision of an automaton. He
knew to the second the precise mo
ment when, shaved and refreshed,
the master would bolt from the
tiled bathroom ready for the ten
dered shirt and cravat, and whenj
capped and clothed, he had seen him
swallowed up in the voluminous
green ulster and conducted him to
the waiting elevator, he could have
glanced at his watch and pro
nounced with certitude, "Twenty
two after the hour."
But on the present morning, to
his growing astonishment, "when he
had offered the gray woolen riding
shirt, instead of the customary snap
and celerity, he perceived a look of
abstraction on the still voting face
of his master-4 face which, despite
its first impression of agreeable ug
liness, had a contagious radiance of
success, confidence and decision. In
stead of extending his hand for the
stock which Gregory held tenderly
poised, Mr. Forrester wandered over
to the window and stood staring out
on the golden city, hands pocketed,
whistling windily the soldiers'
chorus from "Faust." He came back
frowning, his glance in the dis
tance, and extended his arms for his
jacket.
"Beg pardon, sir your stock.
"What? Oh, yes."
He took the stock, tied it hastily,
and, slipping into his riding coat,
started for the door.
"Beg pardon, sir; you've forgotten
your watch and wallet."
"Hullo, so I have that's queerl"
"It is queer." said Gregory to
himself, when Mr. Forrester had
disaooeared bv the elevator. "Some
thing is on his mind, that's flat."
And returning to the servants' din
ing room where Morley, the lady's
maid, was breakfasting luxuriously
on a grapefruit with the addition of
a pot of cream which Quito, the
Japanese cook, had offered in re
spectful admiration, he inquired
"Bit Of a tilt last ntgnt Detween
the master and the missis?"
"Bit of what?" said Mory. with
SEMEGIOUS
ST01S FOUND

Bank Cashier snd Farmer Find
New Way of Adding to In
comes; Omaha Men
Investigate.
John T. Cox, cashier of the bank
at Howe, and Sam Hughes, a facmer
living between Humboldt and Au
burn, Neb., are adding a pretty pen
ny to their incomes by finding and
marketing native gem stones. Their
success has been so great that
school boys-in their part of the
country have gone into the business
on their own hook.
Fine specimens of yellow topaz,
tourmaline, cairngorms, blood
stone quartz and the peculiar red
topaz known as Brazilian ruby are
found in abundance in certain dis
tricts in the southwestern part of
the state. The stones, according to
scientists, were deposited there by
glacial drift,. in a prehistoric age.
The original home of the stone is
supposed to have been in the ranges
of the Rocky mountains far to the
northwest. '
'Found After Rains.
Mr. Cox and Mr. Hughes search
in the fields plowed by the farmers
on gravelly, hill sides and in road
side gulleys and washes, after hard
rains, and have gathered large quan
tities of the various kinds of sHones.
There is a market for the uncut
stones but they have found that
they can make more money by hav
ing the stones cot and mounted in
ring! and other forms of jewelry by
local lapidaries and jewelers. These
jewelry pieces they have sold at a
handsome profit among the young
men and women of neighboring
towns and now find the demand so
brisk they have been unable to meet
it.
The success of these men has
attracted the attention of Omaha
business men to the possibilities of
mining semi-precious stones in Ne
braska and turning them into jewel
ry. As a result ot investigation,
large beds of yellow rock crystal
have been discovered near Louisville
in the gravel along the Platte river.
When cut and mounted these crys
tals are of better gem quality than
rhinestones of the cheaper sort of
synthetic stone.
-(CopyrloK Ml, by Uttle, Brown Co.)"
a frigid stare, for she resented the
condescension of his attitude.
"Bit of a tiff."
"Go on now," said Morley, shrug
ging her shoulders; "can't you see
beyond your old polished nose?
Why, they are like turtle doves to
gether, stupid."
"The missis is not to be waked,"
said Gregory, surveying the evi
dences of petty peculations on the
table. "Masters orders."
"As though she intended to get
up at such an hour, the pretty dear"
taid Morley, shrugging her shoul
ders, with instinctive hostility to
ward the husband's pretensions.
"It's a pity she doesn't. She might
find something to interest her if
she would take the pains to look,"
said the butler, with a scornful
glance. "Pity you wouldn't breakfast
on champagne and humming-birds'
wingsl'v
He was of the old order and, if
he availed himself of an occasional
glass or a cigar, he never stole be
yond the traditions of his position,
while the extravagance, the disorder,
and the waste which reigned in the
kitchen profoundly shocked his
sense of loyalty toward the master,
whom, as a bachelor, he had pro
tected from other transgressors.
Meanwhile Forrester, out in "the
open, swinging powerfully toward
his riding club through the sleepy
mobilization of the army of labor,
which, soiled, and dusty, crowding
surface cars, disgorging from the
subway, streamed toward the river,
the docks the excavations, and the
waiting furnaces, was saying to him
self, "Shalt I take it or not?"
He had placed the question 50
times since yesterday, and had come
no nearer to an answer. This, in
itself, was unusual, for he prided
himself on his power of instant de
cision. There was no hesitancy in
his soaring nature, and he tolerated
none in his subordinates of the Cam
bridge Structural Steel Works, of
which, at the age of 35, he was al
ready the general manager. k
"A year ago, I would have jumped
at the chance," he said to himself
in surprise a year ago he had had
no thought of marriage. "It's big!"
He entered the riding club, still
absorbed in his perplexity. From the
urchin in buttons to the stable boy
who held his horse, everyone greet
ed him with extra, eagerness. He was
a favorite with all the servants, not
only for the sense of health and
good humor which he communicated,
tut for an exact discipline, tempered
with a prodigal generosity. He was
well served, and served with respect.
He had the best horse, the finest
equipment , and the most expert
groom. Wildfire, a coal-black Ken
tucky thoroughbred, was capering in
the sawdust. Forrester examined
the bit with care, ordered the girth
tightened, and, swinging into the
saddle, went clattering into the park
where the horse broke into a head
long gallop. The mounted policeman
smiled tolerantly at his lawless pas
sage, flattered to be distinguished by
name by one who had the intimacy
of such rulers of destiny as magis
trates and commissioners.
The sun was yet young in the
sky, the air delicious, and a little
dew hung'hl the dark-green shadows.
Forrester snatched off his cap and
stuffed it in his pocket and, revel
ing in the cut of the wind, which
made his body tingle with a con
sciousness of his youth and strength,
drove Wildfire into a frenzied rush.

western plains he had that spirit
of mastery which a horse instantly
recognizes, and held his seat where
many a more graceful rider might
have wavered.
Pie rode at life as though he were
riding at a high hurdle. Each salient
feature seemed fashioned by the ac
tion of tempestuous elements, like
the 'sharpened figurehead of a ship
worked by wind and wave the keen,
vulturelike nose under the open
flight of the eyebrows, the lean,
starting cheek bones, the worn
maxillary muscles of the jaw,
the set. crooked tenacity of the
lips, while the black abun
dant hair, slightly shot with sil
ver, rippled back from the thin fore
head, past the large ears, which ad
hered to the skull as though blown
against ,it by the rapidity of his pro
gress through life. The first Im
pression was of gauntness, of primi
tive force, of crude vitality, but, with
this, there was such naturalness,
such boyish zest jn the lighted gray
of his glance, such resonant friend
liness in the deep bass of his voice,
such a swing of success and power
in his bearing that this overflowing
quality of good humor, confidence
and decision exerted a distinct
physical exhilaration upon all per
sons withvwhotn he came in con
tact. At the upper end of the reser
voir he reined in abruptly for a
bantering discussion of the ap
proaching base ball championship
with Corcoran, the officer on duty,
and bolted away on his return trip.
"I'll put it over until tomorrow,"
he said, thinking of the momentous
decision he would be called upon
to make. -
Other problems were Clamoring
for immediate adjustment. This
violent racing half hour was indeed
not a relaxation, but the beginning
of his working day. The sensation
of speed gave him the sensation of
power. Under this stimulus his
mind experienced an extraordinary
clarity. He was of that new elec
tric business temperament which is
given to the masters of New York,
who ride the shock and fury of its
combat as the aeroplane soars
above the shock and fury of the
storm a type which has a marked
resemblance to those abnormal
masters of the air, ' whose nerves,
far from breaking under the shriek
and roar of motors, the giddy rise
or sickening drop on treacherous
air currents, or faltering at the in
human spectacle of swimming earth
and unstable'skies, derive, on the
contrary an intense emotion of free
dom arfd power, a superhuman de
light in combat, a joy in returning
to life, where normal imaginations
would collapse. The clamor and
shock of the city, the shattering
iron beating against the ear of
train, trolley, truck and steam riv
eter, of all the hideous uplifted
scream of the day which fatigues
the ears of the New Yorker and
leaves its straining lines across his
eyes and lips, was to Forrester a
nervous, combustible chemistry. It
awoke every mental faculty. It
surrounded his intellect with a pro
tecting wall of noise and permitted
it a steady concentration.
"Peters is not the man for the op
erating department," he said to him
self rapidly. "Ideas but no order.
No economy. Fromme's my man.
The overhead expenses can be cut
another hundred thousand. By the
way, Dickson can dispense with a
third stenographer," he added, his
mind leaping from big to trivial
details. "I must shave down my
bid on that Argentine contract.
Wonder if Argules is straight. I
must have that contract."

DEEIIES CHARGES
OF EXTORTIO
Harry Trimble Swears, So
Far as He Knows, Organi
zation Overcharged No
I Man in Trenches.
"I swear that as far as I know
the Y. M. C. A. overcharged no
man," said Harry Trimble, returned
Y. M. C A. worker, in refuting
charges of extortion in the organi
zation at the First Christian church
last evening.. "The men in the front
line trenches were charged abso
lutely nothing for the things the
'Y' distributed to them," he con
tinued. This passionate defense of the Y.
M. C. A. by Mr. Trimble was evok
ed by the statement of one of the
men in the audience that his son had
been charged $4.35 for a meal by
the association. ,
Mr. Trimble told of the enormous
difficulties confronting the Y. M. C.
A. in its attempt to aid the Amer
ican soldiers. The lack of an effi
cient organization and of capable
men at the outbreak of the war was
the biggest handicap, according to
Mr. Trimble. In addition to being
physically fit each man had to be
trained for some time at the Colum
bia university. The course of train
ing for the "Y" worker was just as
vigorous as that of the soldier.
"Even then, said Mr. inmble,
"35 per cent of the men sent over
seas by the organization were re
jected for duty at the front line
trenches by the authorities at
Paris."
Describes Huts. , - '
Mr. Trimble pictured a Y. M. C.
A. hut close to the front line
trenches. It was generally built
among the ruins of some old French
chateau. The cellar would be made
habitable and a roof placed over it.
Here the men temporarily released
from duty at the front line trenches
would congregate. Some of them
would eat, others sleep, still others
talked or wrote home. :Thri mili
tary authorities would not allow
the men to come together in groups
near the front line trenches. '
He told of the association's dif
ficulty ' in obtaining a sufficient
amount of supplies.
"The tonnage which the govern
ment gave us was not sufficient, as
the number of men in France in
creased, and we were forced to buy
many things in France at the pre
vailing high prices," he said.'
"One of the'most inspiring sights
that it has ever been my privilege
to witness was the old gray-haired
mothers of the Salvation army pass
ing out doughnuts to the boys under
lell fire, concluded Mr. Inmble.

Mr. Moore, sr., received a letter
from his son's captain, Howard G.
Wright of the Two Hundred and
Twenty-second field signal battalion,
Company C, complimenting him on
the good qualities of his son as a
soldier.
"As his commanding officer, I am
proud of him," writes the captain.
"He has done his duty well. I and
his comrades will bid him good-bye
with deep regret and wish him every
success after he returns home."
For over 14 years Mr, Moore, jr.,

Corn, are to be thing of the past. A new
preparation called Ice-Mint is said to make
any eorn or callous shrivel right up and lift

"I'LL PMISE.IT
THE LONGEST DAY
I UVEVSIIE SAYS
Mrs. . Robbing Restored by
Tanlac After Suffering
Thirty Years.
"Talking about things that help
people," said Mrs. P.- H. Bobbins of
1449 South 14th street, Omaha,
Neb., in an interview, recently,
"Tanlac is doing more good than
any medicine I have ever known
in my time, and I'm now past 60
years of age.
"In 1889, nearly thirty years ago
now," she continued, "when la
grippe first came along and so many
people were having it, I had an at
tack of it myself and have had it in
some form or other from once to
twice a year ever since. The first
spell left me in a badly weakened
condition and I would no sooner re
cover from one attack than I would
be pulled down again. The doctors
at that time called it 'rheumatic
grippe' and I had aches and pains
all through my body, in all rny
limbs and muscles. Three years
ago I had one ,of these spells, which
was so severe that they took me to
the hospital, and I nearly died. I
had the worst headaches it seems
anyone could have and I was badly
run down and frightfully weak. I
couldn't sleep well for all those thir
ty years. My appetite was poor, I
lost twenty pounds in weight and
just had to drag myself around. I
was hardly ever without some kind
of an ache or pain, and the past
spring I was in such a bad fix that
we couldn't keep house, so I went to
my daughter's. My husband went to
boarding and where he boarded he
heard of a remarkable case like
mine, that had been relieved by
Tanlac. -
. "Then he went, straight to Sher
man & McConnell's drug store and
got two bottles, one for me and
one for himself, as he was in very
bad health, too. Well, I showed
some improvement on the first bot
tle and kept on getting better slow
ly. My appetite came gradually, and
my strength came back a little each
day. My aches and pains wore away
and I got to sleeping better. When
we would see one bottle gettinglow
we would hurry to get another and
since I finished my sixth bottle I'm
leeling better and more like myself
than I have in years. With all the
sickness and 'Flu epidemic that's
going over the country I'm feeling
stronger and better than I ever did
1 ?re .kee?,Tn?, house a?ain now,
and I eat well, sleep well, do all rav
housework and feel fine all the
time. I am taking Tanlac with the
tanlac Tablets again now to keep in
shape for the winter. It certainly is
a blessing to humanity and has dona
w much for my husband and me that
live" PrT longe8t day 1
