Army Searches for Parents, ' Who Have Moved Away After' many weary months of service in the national army, Harry D. Garvey, Omaha youthlast week received his discharge. ; His heart was light as the click of the rails reminded him of his rapid progress homeward. Home meant a lot to Harry; it meant seeing good old mother and dad again, and quiet and - rest, and the kind of cooking he really enjoyed. Then, there was his old room he wondered if it had been changed. When Harry's train pulled into the Union station it was raining. En teringthe depot he looked about . but saw no familiar faces to greet : him. Still he hadn't expected any one, they probably didn't know he was coming. But when he called, - the old. familiar number on the tel ephone, and found that his parents no longer lived there, his heart sank. WJkat could it mean? ( 'At last, like a blow from a club. " the truth struck him. His parents had moved. He had been changed to three different canips in the last month. Their letter was probably following him. I A Y. M. C. A. secretary noticed his grief, heard his story, and took him to the Y. M. C A. building for the night He is still there waiting for a long-expected letter from his parents to reach him. i Estimate Nebraska's Winter Wheat Crop at 68,000,000 .. Bushels Lincoln, April 10.
