I V - - . , ' v v , - ' 'r . Vast Quantities of Surplus Army Supplies Now on Sale Goods Offered to Highest Bidder Include Pork and Beans, Blankets, Tomatoes, Hardware of All Kinds, Pencils, Stationery, Clothing, Etc. War supplies stored in depots in Omaha, valued at over $20,000,000, will be offered for sale under the disposal of surplus war supply order issued recently from Washington, according to Capt. Adam J. Ilof tnann, in charge of the surplus prop erty division at the Army building. Over $2,000,000 worth of supplies h;.ve already been ordered sold. On June 30. 46,608 cans of pork and beans will be disposed of. On July 8, 55,000 woolen army blankets will be sold. A sale of tomatoes, 515,529 cans, will be held in the near future. Supplies may be purchased in large quantities only, f. o. b. from .. the point of storage, by submitting a sealed bid, to be opened on the day scheduled for the sale. As a result of these sales, the lo cal surplus property division office with a force of but four people is doing a" business as large as the average wholesale house. Through the local office bids for 13 other posts are handled. These posts are in reality sub aupply stations, which have, during the war, been supplied through the Omaha zone supply office. They are located in Nebraska, South Da kota, North Dakota, Wyoming, Utah and Colorado. Bids from such cities as Salt Lake City, Cheyenne and Denver was not uncommon. Bacon, purchased from South Side packing houses, has been handled by the local zone supply of fice in enormous quantities. In one day, before the armistice had been WRONG ADDRESS DELAYS MONEY OF DEPENDENTS Soldiers' Allotment Checks Held in Washington; Many NcL. .:.....s and lowans Can Get Money. Checks for soldiers' allotments are being held in Washington for many Nebraskans and lowans. The soldiers making the allotments gave the addresses incorrectly and the government has been unable to locate the dependents. Those for whom allotments have been made and not delivered should address the Zone Finance Officer, Enlisted Allotment branch, Washing ton, D. C. The government is de sirous of locating the dependents so the delayed checks ran he mailed. The following Nebraskans and lowans have checks awaiting them in Washington: Nebraska.

Obeying Order. - Tom Cllhn irot a Job on th section working for a railroad. Th,supr!ntnd ; nt told him to o along ths line looking for washouts. ' "And don't bs aa long-winded la yonr Bxt report as you havo been In tbo past." aald ths superintendent: "Just report the : eenditions of tbo roadbed as you find It, ' and don't use a lot of needless words that aro not to a point Writs like a business ' f letter, not like a love letter." Tom proceeded on his tour of Inspection and whea he reached the river he wrote si his report to the superintendent: "Sir Where the railroad was ths river em."sTryod7' Msisslnt signed 27 cars of bacon were con signed to France by the local office. Each carload was valued at $50,000. Over 70,000 pounds of crated bacon, and 241.UUO pounds ot canned bacon are on sale. An enormous quantity of corned beef, estimated at 10,500 dozen one-pound cans and 2,745 dozen six-pound cans, is also sched uled to be awarded to bidders. This entire amount of bacon and corned beef has been stored in two supply depots in Omaha. Quantities of supplits, such as tents, hardware of all kinds, pencils, sta tionery and clothine will be "listed for disposal in the next several ! months according to Captain Hof mann. Valuation on such supplies cannot be estimated, but the fact that approximately $60,000,000 was spent by the local zone supply office during the war each month, indi cates that valuation on goods of this kind runs into the millions. The office here prides itself on the fact that government has received from 80 to 100 per cent value on all sales and sometimes over 100 per cent on food supplies, sold since the sale of war supplies were ordered. Although a large part of the war supplies stored in Omaha may be listed as surplus, it will be disposed of gradually, according to Captain Hofniann, and sales will last for at least two years. If the entire sur plus war supply was put on the mar ket it would have a disastrous ef fect on the prices, Captain Hofmann believes. A. E. F. Golfers to Appear on French Links in Tourney (Ry International News Service.) Paris, June 20. Plans are being made to bolster up the A. k. r. golfing team which will meet on a Parisian links the best golfers from the allied countries by sending after five of America's best, who are in the states at the present time. The tourney will be part of the inter-allied games to begin here a week from next Sunday. Since the meet is for army men only the golfers who will proceed overseas will have to have been in Uncle Sam's uniform some time during the war, Francis Ouimet of Brookline, , Mass., the present holder of the French championship through his victory, in 1914, a few months before the war was de clared in Europe, and Robert Gardner, the Chicago player who won the national open in 1914, are available, as both were officers in state cantonments. A cablegram has been dispatched asking that the United States Golf association and the Western Golf association select five of the best players and make arrangements for having them transported overseas in order to reach France at least a week before .the opening of the golfing joust. The golf program, will start shortly after the inter-allied track and field games commence. The La Boulie Links near Versailles, just beyond the Paris gates will probably be the links chosen. Oui met is familiar with these links. Maj. Edward L. White, in charge of army golf, an ex-Yale man from Connecticut, has been chosen to speed up golfing arrangements, which have been lagging. France, England, Australia and New Zea land will probably have teams in the golf combat. Among v the best golfers in the A. E. F. at present are Sergt. Wil liam Rautenbush of Chicago, the A. E. F. title holder; Lt. James W. Hubbell of Des Moines, intercol legiate champion and a Harvard man; Lt. II. R. Johnston of St. Paul, Minn., one of the semi-finalists in the A. E. F. tourney; Lt. Edward C. Clarey of Pennsylvania, one of the low handicap men in the states; Lt. F. T. McNamara. brother of the famous professional, Tom McNamaha; Pvt. George McBride of the Edgewood Country club, Pittsburgh, a professional, and Pvt. C. W. Hall 'of Birming ham, Ala. Wife Not Entitled to Hubby's Salary Is Claim of Debaters Philadelphia, Pa., June 20. No, Louise, hubby does not have to pay you a salary. And there's no use in trying to make him pass over each week that $19.48, because two eminent debaters, who insist that they represented the whole of Phil adelphia, decided just the opposite at the Baptist temple here. Prof. John Dennis Mahoney and the Rev. Dr. E. P. Haas used up about all the words in circulation debating on the subject, with the result that when the vote was finally takn every jiiember of the audience, with the exception of two men, decided that "dear wifey" should not share in the spoils of married life.-- Love, just love, not cash, should satisfy her, as the speakers put it. Prof. Calvin Osborne Althouse and C. OscarBeasley argued on the affirm ative side. Subject of Women Preachers Disrupts Church of England London, June 20. VfTiether wom en should be aMowed, to preach in the Church in England threatens to divide that organization into two camps. One, said to be sup ported by the bishops, is in favcr of allowing women to be, ordained ministers. The other, of which the English Church union forms a sub stantial part, believes that entrance of women as pastors, however, cul tured and religious they might be, is the "thin end of a wedge of a woman priesthood." The convocation next July may have to consider this question. Those opposed to the innovation assert large numbers will desert to the Roman Catholic church if wom en are allowed to preach. - TVi1l Atnl,: rarflcnfafi mill Ata on the ' proposition that the Avage scale on May 1 shall be S7W cents aa hour, -- " VERY SPECIAL!
