Wages for farm hands have risen
to the unprecedented figure of $60
' to $75 a month in Nebraska, says
ueorjre Klerfner, federal labor di
rector for Nebraska with headquar
ters in the co-operative employment
bureau in the court house.
"There is a great shortage of
farm labor," he said. "Sixty to $75 a
month is the price being offered
and paid to experienced men. Inex-
Dericnced men can eet from $50 to
$55 a month. And when you remem
ber that they get practically all their
" living expenses besides, it is a big
inducement to any strong man to
get out on the farm.
ployment in any line. The lack of
labor is the principal dimcuity. we
have a bie demand from the 1 n
State irrigation project now being
put through in Banner, Kimball and
Scottsbluff counties. Headquarters
for this work are at Mitchell. Com-
, mon labor gets 45 cents an hour or
$4.50 a day of 10 hours. Board is
$1.25 a day, leaving the workers
$3.25 net This is a job good for four
years." .. .
Lieutenant Kramer has been as
signed to the local office to manage
the securing of employment for re
turned soldiers and sailors. Army
men are being placed in this work
all over the country.
a- On May 1 ..the bureau will ship

Heroes Upon Arrival
Welcomed by Omaha
Red Triangle League
An entirely new branch of war
service, known as the Red Triangle
League of Omaha, has been formed
and is in active service at the Union
station from 10:30 p. m. till 2:30 a.
m. each day. The league was form
ed for the purpose of aiding return
ing soldiers who are in need of in
formation or advice.
It is sponsored by the Y. M. C A.
and already has a membership of
over 100 well known Omaha busi
ness men. Each member serves one
' night every eight weeks. There are
two present at the depot each night,
wearing a large button bearing a red
triangle and labeled the Red Trian
gle League of America.
The idea of the league originated
in the east. According to local Y.
M. C A. men, the soldier just re
turned is often quite helpless. They
tell of cases where men just return
ed are unable to recall their former
address, and of other eases where
their people have left the city dur
ing their absence. It is the duty of
the league to assist such men.

OMAHA CITIZENS
Special Performance Wit
nested at Boyd by City
Commissioners, Phy-
' sicians and Ministers.
"Fit to Win," the anti-social dis
ease film to be shown next week at
the Boyi theater, was heartily en
dorsed by city commissioners, phy
sicians and ministers,' who were in
vited to witness special' performance
yesterday noon.
"It is a good thing," said Dean
Ringer. "A picture with lots of
kick that is worth seeing."
Commenting on the picture,- Chief
of Police Eberstein said:
"No one would go down on North
Sixteenth Street to meet a person
with the smallpox. Yet young men
will go and associate with persons
who are afflicted with diseases much
worse. The picture, 'Filf to Win,'
is really worth while and carries a
powerful lesson";
' . Indorsed By Manning.
Rev. Titus Lowe and Health Com
missionerManning saw the picture
and indorsed it heartily.
' Mayor Smith, who was invited, did
not. appear.
"Fit to Win" intimately reveals
the experiences of five soldiers,
picked from several environments by
the demands of war, and placed on
an equal footing in thermy. The
wealthy idler, the sport who knows
it all, and plays with fire; the coun
try boy whose lack of training and
experience proves his undoing, and
whose motto is wine, women, and
song, and Billy Hale, a crack quar
ter back and all around athlete.
The film, which was produced by
order of the surgeon general of the
United States army, was used in
training camps throughout the coun
try. . ,

PLANTS TO MAKE
VITRIFIED BRICK
C. of C. Committee and Ex
perts to Investigate Con
dition of Adjacent Beds
of Shale. . .
Establishment of factories for the
manufacture of vitrified brick in and
around Omaha was ' proposed by
F. L. Nesbit at a meeting of the in
dustrial committee of the Chamber
of Commerce, Thursday.
J. M. Gillan, director, and several
members of the committee, were in
structed to inspect adjacent beds of
shale in company, with brick-making
experts, to see what the possi
bilities for the new business venture
are. They will report within two
weeks. '
If practical attention of Omaha
capitalists will be called to the new
project.
"Vitrified brick make the best
road when laid on a heavy concrete
base. If One brick wears out, it
can be replaced without taking up a
whole segment of road. It is not so
slippery when wet.-"With the great
impetus given to , postwar road
building by federal and state appro
priations, there will be an enorm
ous market for vitirfied brick," said
Mr. Gillan. "Engaging in such a
project is an economic measure to
develop natural resources close at
hand.",
x Making brick so close will save the
important item of transportation ex
pense for road building in this vicinity-

Indian Pays Back $4.75
He Borrowed from U. S.
Marshal Two Years Ago
An honest Indian is Louis Gray
Hair. At least so thinks Marshal
Flynn, at the federal building. Over
two years ago Gray Hair and his
squaw, Jane Fourcfoud, were strand
ed in Omaha without money to pay
their transportation back to the
Winnebago reservation.,
Marshal Flynn advanced tliem
$4.75 railroad fare, and i Gray Hair
promised with great gusto to send
it back immediately on hit arrival
home. But two years elapsed, and
the marshal's, faith in the American
aborigine began to fail, but was
revived when a check for $475,
signed by Chief Gray Hair, arrived
yesterday. ' "
