terday when at the regular Wednes
day meeting of the Rotary club total
subscriptions'" to date of $24,935.25
'were reported by the teams which
have been working the 29 districts
into which the city was divided in
the drive for $27,0p0. ,
'"It's a little discouraging," said
W, E. Reed, head of the drive, "but
I am sure we, will reach the goal
by Thursday noon. The territory
has not been fully covered and
some teams have not made full re
ports." John W. Welch reported sub
scriptions of $450 from Benson. Dr.
Fickes' team brought in $450 in ad
dition to its previous "takings "
The Omaha Grain Echange "team
reported $1,154 additional. Sever? 1
Rottrians made subscriptions of
$25 each." : .
' Scout-Executive R. M. Hoyt was
the chairman of the meeting and
he made a plea -for scout masters. ,
"We must have scout masters," he
said. , ."Even: if we had raised a
million dollars it would not have
solved the problem of getting good
men to give their time and effort to
personal attention tqthe boys.'
- "Many' schools ar. demanding
troops of scouts. Boys often stop
me on the street to find where they
can join a . scout troopY I refer
them to a troop, but some of the
organizations are becoming ;o large
that we can't manage them. I ap
peal to Rotarians and other) to vol
unteer for the great work of scout
, masters.". I

Toots - Young Gharges Lif e -With
Hubby was Nightmare
Omaha Broker's Wife ; Who
Showed Her Cotton Hose
; to Police Judge, Sues ,
- v for Divorce.
Mrs. Mae Bryden Young, pretty
24-year-old wife of David Young,
45-year-old Omaha broker, filed suit
for divorce yesterday in . district
court, .charging her husband with
extreme cruelty.
Mrs. Young gained prominence
three weeks ago when she had her
husband arrested on a ' charge of
nonsupport. At the hearing in po
lice court the pretty young woman
raised her skirts and called upon
Police Judge Fitzgerald to look at
her stockings.
"They're the only pair I own and
they are full of holes," she said.
.The judge ordered Mr. Young to
pay her $50 a month.
Mrs. Young, better - known as
"Toots,? was formerly a vaudeville
artiste. She married the broker Oc
tober 23. 1918, and he brought her
to the home of his mother, Mrs.
Erastus Young, 3172 Dodge street.
The late Erastus Young was former-,
ly auditor of the Union Pacific rail
roads .
The troubles began then. "Toots"
alleges in her divorce petition that
her life in the home of her mother-in-law
was "one long, hideous night
mare, astonishing in the ingenuity
ot its cruelty.
She alleges that finally her moth
er-in-law served her with written
notice to leave. She and her hus
band then went to live at 2109 Doug
las street.
Hubby Seldom Sober.
She aHeges that her husband was
seldom sober: that he beat her and
threatened to kill her. She says he
devoted his time and . money to
other women. She 'charges also
that he tried to employ other men
to compromise her. In April of this
J ear, she charges, he took her to St.
oseph in an. effort 'to accomplish
this alleged purpose, and, failing to
do so, she says, he stole her purse
and left her there "stranded." She
says she borrowed money on which
to come home.
Mrs. Erastus, Young, at the time
of her son's arrest for not support
ing "Toots," said she had ordered
the girl out of the house because

Ask $992,000 Balance
On , Sale of Farm Said
To Have Potash Lakes
A suit for $992,000 Was placed
on hearing before a jury in ' Dis
trict, Judge Leslie's court yesterday,
it is that of Peter Long and Anna
Long against John Krause and
Herman JCrause.
The Longs sold a 640-acre farm
n Sheridan county to the Krauses
in February, 1916, for $8,000.
There were several alkali lakes on
the place and these, it is alleged,
vere considered a detriment to the
ind and caused the low valuation
:t the time of sale, though soon
hereafter they were the real source
of wealth, for they were 'found to
be rich producers of potash.
The Longs allege that the
Krauses knew this., They allege
hat the farm was worth. $1,000,000
ecause of its rich potash deposits
and they are suing for $992,000 as
the balance of the purchase price
which they say they should have
received.

NEWSPAPER COMMENTS
NEW YORK TIMES t
"It (the Ampico) reproduced
in every degree in dynamic
graduation and tonal shading, the
artist's interpretation." v
'.- NEW ORLEANS ITEMt
' "When a mechanical instru
ment has been brought to the
perfection of the Ampico, it com
pels recognition as a serious
work of art." . . 1
YEW YORK GLOBE:
"Musicians said they were un
able to distinguish except
through the eye, when the artist
was performing and when the
Ampico was performing." . -
BOSTON JOURNALt
V
"Many really believed that the
artist had responded to an en
core, until a glance showed the
Ampico itself was performing."
NEW YORK AMERICAN:
"Not only was every dynamic
modulation, every accent, every
pressure of the finger, every
lingering caress reproduced with
astonishing exactness, but every
twist of rhythm was registered in
perfect conformity."
NEW YORK SUNi
"It was impossible to detect the
difference between the artist
himself and the performance of
the Ampico."
j BOSTON GLOBE:
"The result was startling in the
fidelity with which the Ampico
reproduced every trait in Mr.
Buhlig's playing.
ST. LOUIS STAR: ,
"It was an -uncannny night.
There were two pianos on the
stage. Godowsky played one
and the Ampico repeated his
every performance with wonder
ful fidelity."

And the Chi
The reproduction of an artist's
playing on the Ampico differs only
i .-..- from that of "the living pianist in
that in one case the artist is actually
. present, and in the other he is not
at the 'key board. v The perform-
.'ances, however, are identicals' It
