the protection of others.

reports received by the public health
service in the last 24 hours showed
a gradual increase of influenza cases

health authorities apparently had
the situation well in hand.

deaths in an automobile school
there. The disease is prevalent over
the state. Other telegrams showed
an increase in the number of cases
at Ogden and Utah City, Utah, 152

tion of the rules governing the en
trance of student nurses into hos
pitals. ;
Test Well at Chadron
Promises to Develop
Nebraska Oil Field
Eben D. Warner of Chadron, Neb.,
recently organized an oil company
know'n as the Chadron Oil syndicate
and the company is already well
along with the first of three test
wells to be drilled in Nebraska and
South Dakota. The well is reported
as showing considerable gas, and
while the first of the four prospec
tive producing sands is still some
200 feet away, a good showing of
high grade oil is also reported. The
other live issue in the field is the
Sioux syndicate, which is hea"ded by
C.i M. Valentine of Omaha.
This section of Nebraska and
South Dakota has been carefully ex
amined, and extensive geological
survey has been made of it by sev
eral prominent geologists, includ
ing Dr. Condra, chief geologist of
Nebraska. All are most favorably
impressed with its possibilities as a
big producer of high grade crude
oil. The field is located a short dis
tance east and south of the new
Mule creek field, which recently
startled oil men' by its large produc
tion from the shallow sands. The
Mule creek field lays along the ex
treme eastern border of Wyoming.

CITY WAIFS ALL
ANXIOUS TO RIDE
THAT FARM HORSE
Manager of Bureau Says She
Could' Provide Farmers
With 100 Boys From
Omaha!
The song, "How Y' Goin to Keep
'Em Back on the Farm," doesn't ap
ply in Omaha, according to Mrs.
Mabel Walker, manager of the em
ployment bureau of the Chamber of
Commerce.
In fact there is a strong "back to
the land" sentiment in Omaha, Mrs.
Walker says. An appeal foe a boy
who would like to live on a ranch -by
Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Woltz, Kenne
bec, S. D.. published in The Bee two
days ago, has resulted in an ava
Ianchebf telephone calls from youths
eager to try farm life, and five boys
have applied in person at the bureau
for the position.
Give Waifs a Chance.
"Eaclfand every applicant believes
he is just the boy foV the job," Mrs.
Walker said, "and as only one boy is
wanted the others will be bitterly
disappointed. I believe there are at
least 100 boys in Omaha who would
be better off on farms, and if farmers
will write me I will furnish them
with the finest kind of boys. Farmers
could do much to solve our social
unrest problem by giving city waifs
a home."
Henry Woosley, 9 years old, a
round faced little boy who never
rode a horse in his life, is one of the
applicants. His mother died .of the
influenza a year ago. and he has been
living with an aunt at 3432 Nebraska
avenue, but his aunt already has a
large family of her own, he says. "
Still Hauling Ashes.
Rollie McDonald, another appli
cant, is 17 years old. He stayed in
school till he reached the Sixth grade,
he says, then began making his liv
ing haulinc ashes. He is still haulin?
ashes, and his one desire is to return '
to school, he said.
Mr. and Mrs. Woltz offered to
adopt the boy they chose, and said
they would send him to school.

E. H. Sothern, as Pctruchio, in
"The Taming of the Shrew," at the
Boyd theater last night, left no
doubt in the minds of .his friends
that Shakespeare intended that this
should be p. farce for laughing pur
poses firstiy, its moral taking sec
ondary place.
With Miss Lenora Chippendale,
who had the role of Katherina, the
shrew, Mr. Sothern was required to
respond to many encores. The con
elusion of his engagement here was
a sort of "Godspeed until we meet
again." As for the production in its
entirety, it may be said that it was
an artistic 'triumph and was thor
oughly appreciated by a large audi
ence. It may seem to be a far cry from
"Hamlet" of the previous night, but
Mr. Sothern's talent carried him
through in last night's lighter roh.
The performance was given with a
snap which comported with the
breezy lines of this famous old play.
Miss Chippendale' was equal to the
exacting transformation - from a
shrew with 'a high-powered temper
ament to the finale, where she ap
pears as an obedient . wife, ready
even to shqw the way of wifely
obedience to other wives who have
not yet learned the lesson, as Kath
arina finally sees it, that a wife
should be gentle and hearken with
out demur to the word of her "lord
and master;" even to say that the
moon is shining when the sun is
shining, if her husband insists that
the moon is shining. .
Mr. Sothern has a fine conception
of the boisterous Petruchio, who be
gins at the marriage altar to enforce
his will upon "Katharina Minola, re
nowned in Padua for her scolding
tongue." He goes into the affair in
a spirit of adventure, addressing
Katharina as "Kate" at their first
meeting- Having previously heard
of her petulant nature, he mocks her
by tellimr her that she is "sweet
Kate, bonny Kate." She starts out
by calling him a "crab, madcap
ruffian and swearing Jack," and that
only sends him into transports of
humor. He carries the situation to
a logical conclusion, administers a
sort of third degree by denying her
food on their wedding night and
otherwise crushing her proud and
haughty spirit until she is as meek
as Mary's historic lamb. The com
edy, of course, does not stand on all
fours with present-day ideas of the
marriage relations, but nevertheless
She has had professional experience
with the Shakespearean player, John
E. Kelleid. Miss Marjorie Hudson
of Council Bluffs will play the part
of the parlor maid in "Between the
Soup and the Savoury," She was
prominent in dramatic work and de
bating while in high school.
Mrs. B. R. Boasberg, who will
play the pan of Mrs. Don, the moth
er, in J. M. Barrie's play, "The Well
Remembered Voice." Mrs. Boas
berg was j charter member in the
Milwaukee Little theater, where she
played for three years.
it is a delightful comedy and was
never ' so splendidly presented in
Otnaha as it was last night.
Julia Marlowe appeared as Bianci,
sister of Katharina. Mrr Granville
as Gremio gave.anotherdemonstra
tion of his dramatic art. Each char
aster, was Riven a careful interpre
tation and personal mention might
be made of every member of this
excellent company of artists.'
Many of the attendants at the
Boyd theater last night were mind
ful of the fact that they were wit
ness, ng the concluding performance
of , the serious drama in this his
toric plrtvpovse, for-the last produc
tion, a musical piece, will open today
for a week, after which the theater
will be but a memory.

to withdraw his resignation. 'This
was eranted and he was again sent

one child, lives at iuv heaven

plants made him sick. Two weeks
rolled by and he asked tnat his
resignation be withdrawn. This was
permitted January 1.
When Captain Briggs called the

failed to respond. For 13 days he
was absent and Captain Briggs be
came apprehensive. 1 Friday night he
was . found at his home by Sergeant

Denver Man Raising
Pole Cats; Pelts Are
Worth $8 to $80
"A new industry has snrune ur
in Denver," said C P. Farnsworth
of Boone, la., a stockman of the
Hawkeye state, who was a visitor
at the stock yards Saturday, en
route home from the Western
Stock show.
"This new and novel industry is
the breeding and raising of pole
cats or skunks by E. W. Bohn of
Denver, who had a number of the
little animals on exhibition at the
stock show. The animals had been
deodorized and some not. Not a
single person would ever have
known such an exhibit was in
place, had they not been directed
to it.
"I was told by the exhibitor that
a skunk is as harmless as a rabbit,
affectionate as a dog and cleaner
than a cat. The animals are raised
for their fur the cost of the pelts
ranging from $8 to $80, depending
upon the texture and color of the
fur."

Sentiment for Deposed Hohen

" Netherlands, Jour
nal Asserts.
The IIaue, Jan. 24. The Dutcl
government and the former German
emperor have settled down to awail
the allies' next move.. Only on
Dutch newspaper, the Amsterdam
Telegraaf, went beyond approval ot
the government's action and, while
heartily approving the stand on na
tional honor, said:
"Sentiment for the former kaisei
here is below zero, and we believe
only an extremely small number pf
Dutchmen would have bet-n hurt if
he had been called to account sonic
way or ether for the terrible re
sponsibility which rests upon him.
The Dutch people do not feel like
standing as a bulwark about th
former kaiser, and the best part of
our government s note is its total
absence of sympathy for the ac
cused.
The Brussels newspaper. Le Na
tional Beige, has commented bitterly
on th? refusal, .saying in effect that
Holland thereby proves herself, as
always,, a friend of the German
junkers and an enemy of the entente.
Holland meanwhile is going for
ward wit'.' her plans to join the
league of nations. The press indi
cates that not much opposition is ex
pected and that. Parliament pujibably
will vote Holland's participation
with little dissension.
