Local Boy Writes of Receiv
ing Paper While in France;
Wounded in St. Mihiel
Drive in September.
A letter was received at the South
Side Bee office from Emil R. Kasner,
of 1820 O street, South Side, now
with the American expeditionary
forces in France.
"Just a line to let you know that
I received one of your newspapers
the other day," he writes. "It was
just like getting money from home
without asking for it. I am in the
ramp detachment at La Courtine,
France. Was wounded slightly
during the St. Mihiel drive on Sep
tember 12.
"I notice by The Bee that they are
going to urge every Omahan to
join the Red Cross roll. Believe
me, they ought to join, because the
nurses are certainly the mothers to
wounded soldiers. After I was
wounded we rode on a Red Cross
train for some distance. The Red
Cross nurses were very good to
us. Gave us cigarets, hot chocolate
and coffee. But best of all they
spoke American. They were the
first American girls I had seen in
France.
"We have had quite a few bouts
with Fritz, and although we had
some casualties, Fritz had more. I
left Funston in May in the Three
Hundred and Forty-first machine
gun company, with quite a few other
Omaha boys. I don't know who
sent me The Bee, but I thank him
and hope he or she will send
some more. Give my Omaha friends
my best regards."
Young Kasner was a former mem
ber of the Mazdas and Nonpareil
football teams. He was well known
in athletic circles about the city. In
his letter to The Bee he enclosed two
"Overseas" post cards, advocating
the purchase of Liberty bonds. One,
which pictures a limitless expanse
of huge shells, is captioned by the
following: We shoot this many
shells at the Huns every few sec
onds, Liberty bonds will buy more.
The other card is a photograph of a
fleet of tanks, extending over what
seems to be a limitless expanse of
territory. "The Huns don't like
these tanks now, and if you buy
more Liberty bonds they will like
them less, is the statement on it,

J
anuary, 1919, Broke
High and Low Record
of the Hog Market
The month of January 1919 saw
the breaking of two hog records on
the South Omaha market. The low
est.day's receipts in the history of
the market were Friday when one
car of hogs was unloaded. This low
mark is due to the embargo.
January exceeded all months on
hop receipts although frequent em
bargoes tended to keep them down.
Had no embargoes been imposed
General Manager Everett Bucking
ham estimates that the receipts for
the month would have exceeded the
half million mark. The receipts of
hogs for the month were 449,301
head. January 1917 was the nearest
to equaling this record when 441,104
head was received.

Omaha Girls Suffer
from "Nerves," Says
Miss Marie Hoiness
Omaha girls do not play enough.
They do war work, church work and
other work, but don't play.
This fact was brought out at a
conference of girls' work leaders
held in the Girls' Community house
Friday afternoon.
"The absence of the play side in
most girls' organizations is marked,"
said Miss Frances Range of the
War Camp Community service.
Miss Marie Hoiness of Scandi
navian Y. W. C. A. reported
Omaha girls were suffering from
"nerves."
"That's the reason. If there was
more play and physical culture,
there would be less 'nerves,'" said
Miss Vlasta Sterba, city recreational
director.
The importance of play and com
munity singing in directing girls' ao
tivities in the right direction was
emphasized by most of the speakers.
.Other girl problems, nonemploy-
ment with the return ot soldiers;
that of the out-of-town girl who
seeks work in the city and that of
war brides and war mothers occu-
oied much of the discussion. Meet
ings of the girls' work leaders will
be held from time to time to outline
a course of action.
Miss Range made an appeal for
volunteer directors for club units,
dramatics, sings, swimming, hikes,
games, folk dancing, basketry,
Erench and nursmor classes.
"Each have their appeal in de
veloping the social consciousness of
our girls, said Miss Range.
"He Married You for a
Meal Ticket," Judge
Says, Giving Divorce
I guess he married you to get a
meal ticket," was the comment of
Judge Day yesterday afternoon, as
he signed a decree of divorce, re
leasing Bessie Norton from her
marital obligations to John F. Nor
ton, and restoring her former name
of Bessie Beers.
Mrs. Norton was married in Lin
coln on September 11, 1918, after
an acquaintance of four months and
two weeks with the man whose
name she was anxious to discard.
She related that she had $250 at
the time of her marriage, and Nor
ton thought she had more. Alter
four weeks at her expense, Norton
deserted her, leaving her a note
which read, "Farewell to thee."
'He had four or five jobs in one
week and did not work long enough
at any one place to have a payday,"
was the plaint ot th young woman,
who appeared more cheeriul when
the court granted her a decree.
