fare board received for such a little
girl in response to an appeal pub
lished in the papers Wednesday.
"It seemed as though everybody
wanted to 'have a little fairy in
their home," said Miss Bess Monsky
of the welfare board. "We counted
23 telephone calls on the subject in
one hour, and they are still coming
in."
The little , girl was places in a
nice private home Wednesda af
ternoon by Ker father
A number of those who were dis
appointed left their names and ad

Why Shorter
Hours Pay
m
Pr. Shipherd, manager of the
Eailey Dental Co., tells why this
organization works such short
houra and doesn't open office on
Sunday. .
Ha says it's detail in the work
that makes a dental operation
successful, that lack of detail
causes failure If a dentist puts
in long. hours at, the chair, his
nerves are not in as good a con
dition as if he worked short hours
at the chair and devoted more
time to recreation away from
business.
. He believes that eight. hours'
work, eight hours' sleep and eight
hours for recreation and pleas
ure, makes a dentist do better
work. And adds that specialists
will not work like ordinary den
tists; that the more skilled the
help, the less hours they will
work, because their worth is fig
ured by their skill and not by the
length of their working day..
Near East Relief Aid
Gmmittee Asks for
Donations by Check
An appeal to save Douglas county
from the stain of failure to go over
the top in the drive for relief in the
Near East was issued yesterday by
the local committee in the form of
a call to donate check, direct to
State Treasurer John C. Wharton,
818 Omaha National Bank building.
"While some of our teams are
doing spe.ndid.ly, we real ze it will
be impossible for us to see every
body in . Omaha," said Chairman
Sykes of the Omaha campaign com
mittee. "We hear repeatedly of peo
ple, some of them prominent, who
have not contributed because they
arc awaiting the solicitors. Some
of these people will g've large con
tributions. Their help is needed at
once if Omaha is to go over the top
th!s week. We urge them to send
their checks direct.
"Omaha is now not more than
half way to its goal of $53,000, ac
cording to returns at hand. Not
halfvof the people in the city have
been solicited.
"Organizations of various kinds
can give; they can put on. special
events and raise money for this
cause. . All such contributions are
heart'ly solicited."

SOLDIERS SELL .
OOKS TELLING
OF 'OVER THERE'
, . '
Sale of Boos to Swell Recre
ation Fund to Show
the Boys a Good
Time.
The boys of the 127th -Field ar
tillery ar so glad to be back home
4hat they want to see some of the
town and have some fun at home
before they have to go back ' to
work. They didn't save any- great
amount of money out of their sol
dier's pay and many of them would
ordinarily have to go right back to
work. .
To prevent this condition of af
fairs, when the men came back to
Omaha Jack Barry "beat drill" one
morning in Camp Dodge and went '
to the Y. M. C. A and wrcrte a
short story of their . experiences
"over there. His' companions
thought so well of his efforts that
they have had the'story published
in book form and it will be on sale
when you get down iown this
morning.
Entitled "Over There."
When you meet one of, the boys
from "over there" and he offers you
one of the books, dig down and buy
it. , The book is entitled "Over
There" and contains a short story
of the real experiences of the 127th
field artillery in France and in going
and coming. Just remember that
these boys are the lads that offered
their lives for you and they are try
ing to make up a "recreation", fund
so they may enjoy themselves fora
short, time before they return to
their, several vocations.
The writer of the book, Jack Bar
ry, gave up a profitable grocery
business to join the old Fourth Ne
braska and get into the fight for
vorld freedom, and many others
among the . "outfit" gave up good
positions to go "get" the Huns.
They offered all they had, their very
lives, and a few expected to return
to this grand old place at all, Now
they have come back, whole and
strong, they want to enjoy that
good health they still have, when
they didn't expect to ever be able to
have such fun again. They, ask you,
the people of Omaha, to help them
havo that fun.
Dig in and Buy.
You can do that, and still get tht
worth of your money by investing
in one of these little book. You
won't miss the little bit it will cost
you, but every one of those little
bits will help the boys build their
"recreation fund." The volume will
pTease you. It is very nicely ar
ranged. The spry is short and
sweet, to those, especially that have
husbands, sons or sweethearts over
the water.. In this story they may
read of some of ' their own rela
tives' or friends' experiences.
It's, great, and buying one of
the books is little enough to show
your appreciation of the .sacrifice
these lads offered to make for you
and yours.

III THREE WARS
Youngest Boy Drove Ambu
lance in France 18 Months;
Oldest Son Spanish-American,
Father Civil War.
There are few families in this
country that canoast of so high a
record of service to their country a
the CWdsberry family, 846 Georgia
avenue.
The father, Adamson N. Golds
berry, is a veteran of the Civil war.
He was a member of the famous
Thirty-fifth Iowa infantry which aid
ed in the capture of Vicksburg,
which distinguished itself in the
campaign folowing the capture of
the stronghold.
The honor of the family was main,
tained by. Garrison B. Goldsberry
in the Spanish-American war "and in
the Philippine campaign. For four
and a half years he served in the
Fifteenth United States cavalry.
When the great world war came
it remained -for 18-year-old. Oliver
Goldsberry to maintain the high tra
ditions of his family. He enlisted
in June 1917, and has already spent
over 18 months in France driving a
supply car. V'
In a letter to his father he re
counts some of his experiences.
'T have not been guilty of doing
anything for several weeks, in fact
ever since the armistice was signed.?
"I have been at Montabaur for
over, a week and have had nothing
to do but eat, sleep and keep clean
Talking about keeping clean it cer
taiffly feels strange to' be able to
read a letter or write one, or to do
anything without having tc stop,
reach down your shirt and capture
one or more dear little cooties. They
certainly are ambitious little devils.
-"I have not killed four or five Huns
single handed and ne:ther have I
ever been cited for gallantry in ac
tion. The only thing I i.ave done
in this war is to drive mycar for
18 months over roads old Friti was
tearing up with shell fire and yet I
have done nothing more than my
duty."

Washington, Jan. 23. Special

What h
: Showed
Last Week the Leading Newspapers of Oma
ha and Lincoln Published the Financial
Statement of Home Builders, a Financial
and Building Corporation of Large Re- v
. sources. In Some Respects the ,
Statement Was Remarkable.
It showed that Home Builders, Inc., of
Omaha, had enjoyed constant growth since its
organization in 1911. During the last five
years the percentage of growth was 825.
It showed that Home Builders has done its
full share in the work of promoting the material
h growth of Omaha; that it had been busy
throughout he war period in the construction
of buildings, which, directly or indirectly, were
used in furtherance of war activities. One large
contract covered a building for the U. S. gov
ernment. ,
It showed that Home Builders, during 1918,
maintained its average annual increase in as
sets, despite the war, the total at the end of the
year being $1,156,113.31.
It showed that Home Builders owns mort-
gages on improved Omaha Real Estate,
amounting to $892,208.28; surplus fund, $72,
753.65; reserve fund, $18,437.28; cash' re
sources, '$52,946.75.
It showed a constant growth in popular
confidence in Home Builders Shares as a safe
investment for surplus funds. These shares
are secured by' mortgages upon newly-im-proved
Omaha Real Estate, as Horrife Builders
never financed a building erected outside of
Omaha.
Home Builders' preferred shares yield 6',
payable semiannually, . are tax free in Nebraska
and exempt from the normal federal income tax.
I alue't?1they may be had in any number up
to $5,000, by mail or in person. They are equiva
lent to a 7 investment when the investor pays
TJie raxes. " i
'
The number of investors in Home Builders
shares is constantly growing. They represent 22
states. They order shares by mail with the same
facility enjoyed by those who call at the office.
( Funds thus received by Home Builders are
advanced to owners in Omaha who borrow for the
purpose of improving their properties which are
pledged to secure the loans. Mortgages covering
these loans yield a large annual revenue.
Home Builders advances money only in cases
where it constructs the buildings and receives a
builder's profit ; , .
Home Builders supplies an active public de
mand. Work in hand will cost half ,a million
dollars. .... . '. . :
Home Builders' shares are safe and profitable.
