titled under the law to re-education
free of cost to them, and they are
choosing courses adapted to their
individual needs. Many of them
have chosen first of all Americani

these they will in many cases take

COLUMBUS WINS
NAME AS HOME OF
TRAVELING MEN
Ideal Railway and Highway
Facilities Add to Attract
iveness of City Forging
to the Front.
Columbus, Neb., due to it railroad
and highway facilities is rapidly be
coming known as ideal home for the
commercial traveler. It is located
82 miles west of Omaha on the main
line of the Union Pacific and branch
es of this road and the Burlington
gives excellent connections to any
part of the state.
The Lincoln Highway and Merid
ian Highway intersect in this city,
giving auto travelers ideal roads.
The state Y. M. C. A. camp of
40 acres is just being dedicated. Ap
plication has been made to the state
engineer for three miles of paved
highway leading to the camp.
The citizens have provided for rec
reation and amusements with facili
ties that would do credit to a larger
city. The Wayside Country club
owns 60 acres of ground on which
they have an ideal golf links and
other provisions for outdoor amuse
ments. It is located two miles from
town. Shady lake, a private summer
resort on the Loup river, is patron
ized by vacationists from all parts
of the state.
Columbus has 6,500 population.
Four grade and one high school and
a Catholic parochial grade and high
school provide for the education of
the children. Bonds have been voted
to erect a $120,000 high school
building and ground has been pur
chased on which to build a fifth
grade school.
Recent campaigns have secured
the erection of a new federal build
ing, library and railway station. The
hotels are unexcelled in the state by
any town of its size. An up-to-date
and commodious Y. M. C A. build
ing compares favorably with other
institutions in the state. St. Maryjs
hospital, a, Catholic institution, is
one of the best in the state.
A brick yard and canning factory
are both flourishing.. Two whole
sale grocery houses supply a large
territory doing over $1,000,000 worth
of business each year. The Union
Tacific has a large payroll. A vol
unteer fire department and band are
well equipped and among the most
efficient in the state.
The railroad and highway facili
ties have made Columbus a center
for butter, egg and produce houses.
Contracts have been let for a new
federated church that will be one of
the most imposing in the west. A
new court house is soon to be built.
The city is provided with beautiful
churches of all denominations.
Professional Woman
Partner the Latest
Jazz Craze Product
London. The woman profes
sional partner is the product of the
jazz craze and the numbers of the
newcomers are rapidly multiplying
in response to a big popular demand.
The male professional partner, it
may be recalled, arrived on the wave
of the tango. Now the scene has
changed. Where one or two male
professional dancing partners
used to frequent smart dancing
places there are now half a dozen or
more women professionnl partners
in possession of the field.
"The professional dancing part
ner certainly adds to the amenities
of the ballroom at the present day,
when many of the guests are still
unfamiliar with the new steps," said
a leading woman dancing teacher.
Urges System to Record
Wit of School Kiddies
Philadelphia. A "chair of humor"
for school systems to record the
sayings of children in classrooms
was urged here by Dr. Calvin N.
Kendall, commissioner of education
cf New Jersey, who said that his
proposition was "no joke." In sup
porting his scheme he said:
"Asked to spell 'throne," a New
Jersey school child spelled it
'thrown.' On being told by the
teacher that the spelling was not
correct and given another chance,
the youngster stood pat on the first
spelling, and added: 'Anyway, that's
how you spell it these days."

LONDON BISHOP
CANNOT LIVE ON
$50,000 YEAR
Ready to Sell One of His
Homes Which He Consid
ers a Liability Instead
of Asset.
London, June 28. (Correspond
ence of the Associated Press.) The
bishop of London, Dr. Ingram, with
a salary of $50,000, finds that l.e
cannot keep up both of the resi
dences which go with his position,
and proposes to rent or sell his
town house. The bishop's town
house is situated in St. James'
square, about the most aristocratic
area of London. It was once the
home of the earls of Warwick, and
the church bought it some two cen
turies ago.
The other residence is Fulham
palace, which is across the Thames
from the suburb of Putney, where
the Oxford-Cambridge boat races
start.
The bishop explained to a dio
cesan conference that $32,500 of his
income went for income tax, super
tax, municipal taxes and insurance.
That left him only $17,500 to main
tain these two establishments, and
to keep a motor, and the minimum
of 10 servants absolutely needed for
Fulham palace alone.
"You must see," he said, "it can
not be done. You ask your wives.
Pessimists have told me I would
not be able even to keep Fulham
palace going, but I intend to make
a great effort before parting with a
historic possession of the church for
1,300 years."
The bishop is in the same boat
with numerous others of the clergy.
They are appointed to a position
with a certain salary "and living."
The "living" is a residence, often
larger than they can maintain on the
salary, so that it constitutes a lia
bility rather than an asset. Several
important church officials have
closed their houses during the war,
and lived in less expensive quarters.
High Cost of Living
Reduces Mariages;
Husbands Improving
Boston, June 28. They don't
marry any more as they used to in
the good old 1916 and 1917 and 1918.
Reason why? "The butcher, the
baker, the candlestick maker," says
Edward W. McGlennon, registrar
of marriages at city hall.
"The scarcity of apartments and
the high cost of butter are spoiling
more than one good marriage, and
prospects for improvement in 1920
are not so rosy, either," the gentle
man continues to explain. "Don't
blame heaven, blame the times."
But if husbands are scarcer than
of yore 'hey are a much better
brand. Who says so? Registrar
McGlennon again.
Having watched the merry game
of matrimony for these many years,
Registrar McGlennon Is to be lis
tened to, when he speaks, as a con
noisseur. "And the husband of 1919 will be
more patient, more economical,
more staying in o' nights, more or
derly and far more generous," says
Registrar McGlennon. "He learned
all these things in the army. Yes,
indeed, Miss 1919, if perchance she
does not get a husband, may well
pity in her heart Miss 1917. "For
husbands this year are matrimonial
models. But don't thank me, nor
don't thank the husbands. Just pay
your compliments to Flanders mud,
and trench life, and army roll call,
and military discipline, all of which
gets a man ready to stand anything
just anything even his wedding
bells."
Portia, by Tears,
Wins Acquittal for
Bad Young Man
(By Universal Service.)
Chicago, June 28. "Do you call it
fair when the lawyer I had was only
a boy trying his first case 'getting
experience,' they call it yes, getting
experience at my expense?"
That is what Mary Turner said in
"Within the Law," and what Doro
thy Rosenthal, the pretty young Por
tia of Chicago, was thinking of when
she stood up before the jurors to
defend Charles Morgan, 23, who
was on trial for burglary. It was
Miss 'Rosenthal's first case, and she
told the jurors it was Morgan's last
chance, for he already had served
two sentences in the house of cor
rection. "The prosecution had two wit
nesses," explained the young woman
lawyer. "A watchman whp caught
the boy red-handed and a police offi
cer who made the arrest. We, the
defense, had nothing but the boy's
record, which I knew would go
against him. It looked like a los
ing game. I thought how young he
was. I thought of his mother, a
dear little, old lady in St. Louis,
who knew nothing of his arrest,
and who was dying.
"Then I remembered the lines
from the play, 'Within the Law.' I
realized that I, in my enthusiasm,
had taken on something that was
too big for me to handle, I was get
ting experience at the boy's expense.
"For a moment I experienced all
the horror of defeat. Then my mind
reverted to Mary Turner. I had
given readings of 'Within the Law'
on more than one occasion; and I
had learned how to cry. I had to
appeal to the jury somehow. I sim
ply had to win my case and keep the
boy burglar from going to jail. And
so I cried."
Morgan didn't go to jail, however.
After being out ten minutes the jury
returned the verdict of "Not guilty."
It may have been the jurors were
really impressed by the tears.
Paper Unrepentant.
Dublin The Southern Star, a
newspaper of Skibbereen, has been
allowed to reappear after a suspen
sipn of 30 weeks. In its first issue
it declared it was unrepentant for
anything it had done to help Ire
land's independence,
Steady Stream of All
Kinds of Supplies Now
Pour Into North Serbia
Belgrade, Serbia, May 28. (By
Mail). Northern Serbia, which for
several months after the war was
virtually isolated from contact with
allied sources of supply, is now re
ceiving a steady stream of goods of
all kinds. These goods are brought
in by way of Fiume, asthere is no
through rail connection north from
Saloniki across Serbit owing to the
fact that the main north-south rail
road in Serbia is still being repaired
and hundreds of bridges are lying
smashed beyond repair in the beds
of the streams they once spanned.
At present it requires, with good
luck, 14 to 15 days to cross Serbia
from Saloniki to Belgrade by
motor truck and rail.
The American army food mission
and the American Red Cross are
daily sending truckloads of food,
clothing and medical supplies into
Northern Serbia from Belgrade.
The American Red Cross in North
ern Serbia has established stations
at Curprija, Kragujerac, Palanka,
Pozhharevatz, Shabatz, Negotin,
Petrovatz, Obrenovatz and Semen
dria, from which centers hundreds
of smaller towns are served. At all
these points American army doc
tors, American army nurses and
former doughboys, chauffeurs and
motor transport men are busy.
