HAVE FUR GOATS
DESPITEPRICES
Plank Down $50 In First Pay
ment, Then Toil All Summer
So Luxury May Be Secured
By Next Winter.
The frugal man or woman strug
gling to batter down the barrier
that comes from the high cost of
living may have paused on the
street corner, for instance to pon
der a question. 1
Where oh. where do all the
women of Omaha procure the funds
to buy the plain and fancy fur coats,
capes and shoes they have worn
this winter, and are continuing to
wear into a belated spring?
And echo has answered. "Where
indeed?"
But it's no secret any longer. It's
a gift. It's a simple matter of
finance, sacrifice and the element of
time. Without the latter a "grand
tur coat, or even the "swellest,
might not adorn the back of milady,
Ihv. secret will be divulged.
Many Pretty Girls Here.
Along with the oackinir industry,
the Missouri river, the production
of butter and an extraordinary
growth in population, Omaha is
known abroad as the home of an
exceptionally large number of pret
ty girls, just as Chicago is noted
for girls with large feet and olentv
of wind..
Omaha women know how to wear
fur coats along with other clothes
nil, whats more, how to buy them.
AH this in spite of the fact that high
cost of furs is a wonderful thing.
It is thus 'tis done without the aid
of man.
The young lady with the slender
purse comes into the manufacturing
furrier's store with all the assurance
of a wealthy movie actress in
search of a bit of Russian sable
"I'd like to see something in furs,
please," says she, peering into the
long glass cases.
The dealer deftly exhibits a mas
terpiece in Hudson seal made of
muskrat skins at a price of $525.
Does that stagger the young
lady who runs the comptometer or
the typewriter somewhere? It docs
not!
She may falter a bit but she re
mains conscious. Five hundred
dollars isn t really so much money
in these days.
Ultimately she trips out of the
store after the purchase of a "light"
muskrat at $250 or $300. It has all
been arranged. The dealer gives
her a credit of $50 on the coat and
she understands that unless she
completes the payment during the
spring and summer she will forfeit
the $50 and a later chance to wear
that wonderful coat. The garment
is placed in cold storage with her
name on it and all through the long,
weary months of summer she pays
for it monthly. And late in the
fall she "springs it." And that win
ter she has a fur coat like all the
rest of the girls. .
$10,000 Worth in Storage.
'. One Omaha fur dealer already has
more than $10,000 worth of furs in
storage which have been purchased
under the easy payment plan.
"The plan works out beautifully,"
he said. "Those who crave furs
simply arrange to buy them. And
in spite of the high price due in
a large part to the scarcity of fur
bearing animals the great demand
and the reduced production, the
people buy them. And, if anybody
is interested, furs are likely to go
higher. They were dearer this win
ter. "Excellent garments," he contin
ued, "at smaller cost, are not want
ed. For instance, there are imita
tions of a great many of the popu
lar furs. The muskrat, however,
has not been imitated. That, though,
is but a matter of time, I think.
But there are excellent imitations
of the civet cat, leopard, tiger,
moleskin and of course, the beaver
plush. The imitation Hudson seal
is made from French and Australian
rabbit skins, those manufactured
from the French rabbit being the
most expensive. These are in great
est demand."
The only fur for which there is
little demand in Omaha is the Rus
sian sable, the most expensive and
rare of all furs. A mere neckpiece
of this, scarcely large enough to
cover a well-developed Adam's ap
ple, wjll sell at $1,000 or more.
Calls Church Movement
Hot Fight Between
Christ and Mammon
II. R. Best, Iowa-Nebraska secre
tary of the Interchurch World move
ment now being undertaken by 30
co-operating denominations, in a
statement issued yesterday charged
that the "issue is so tremendous that
under it the churches of America
will make or break in a comparative
ly short time."
Mr. Best is here for the purpose
of raising the $336,777,000 fund
which is needed to make the move
ment a success. A canvass will be
made in Omaha the week of April
25.
"This movement is vastly more
than an ordinary religious cam
paign," Mr. Best said. "It is propos
ing to face all life with the ideals of
Jesus. Politics, industry, capital and
religion must be made Christian.
"No nation in history ever had
such an opportunity as is presented
to this country at this time and the
fight is on to see whether Christ or
Mammon shall win."

SHOP GIRLS WILL Table All Set for Welcome Home Feast for Bearded Baby
Of American Army and Youngest Yank Veteran of A.E.F.
Though But a Child in
Years, Bears Man's
Appearance. .
Slow-moving methodical processes
of grinding out discharges from the
United States army have given
one fatted calf a.new lease on life.
The calf has been ready for a
hail-the-conquering hero slaughter
ever since late in February, when
G. L. E. Klingbeil, 3222 Lincoln ave
nue, president of the North Ameri
can insurance company, was noti
fied his nephew, Raymond Burleigh,
had landed on U. S. shores from
two years' service in France. Bur
leigh, 14 years old, is the "bearded
baby" of the U. S. army and young
est Yank veteran of the world war.
A rousing welcome awaits him
when he is able to come west for
visits with his uncle jn Omaha and
his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. A.
E. Tunberg of Hooper. Neb., and to
take up "home town" life once more
at St. Joseph, Mo., with his parents,
Mr. and Mrs. J.- R. Burleigh.
Marooned in Philly.
But announcement comes from
Washington the "bearded baby" is
marooned in Philadelphia. until final
expiration of his army enlistment
period next July 1. Not even a per
sonal letter from General Pershing
to Secretary of War Baker, request
ing efforts be made to hasten the
lad's discharge, was able to break
through army "red tapee." Other
efforts were made, too, but they
failed flat.
So young Burleigh is "stuck" in
Philadelphia until July and the
fatted calf has a chance to develop
into an adipose cow before he gets
to ramble westward.
Not Jthat Raymond is down
hearted or grief-stricken over the
course events have taken. He did
not approve of the efforts to get him
an early discharge. Didn't want his
"top kicker" to find out his real
age, his parents say. No great de
sire to leave the army, either. He
likes it.
Man in Appearance.
On army rolls this youngest
world war veteran is known as
"Fred DeReaux," the name under
which he enlisted at St. Joseph, Mo.,
n Julv, 1918. His 15th birthday is
next August.
He s at the age when most boys
are still spinning tops and flying
kites. Just a lad but he has
served two years m France and
Germany. He has gone over the
top. He has known the sensations
of zero hour. He has known thirst
and hunger and fatigue on the
battlefield and has seen his buddies
fall at his side.
How "Private Fred DeReaux" at
the age of 12 successfully enlisted
in the army seems not so strange
after a glance at his photograph.
For though he is but a child in
years he is a man in size and appearance.
Two Inches Taller.
WHen he finally -was accepted in '
1918 at the recruiting station at
St. Joseph, -he stood 5 feet 8 inches
high, and weighed 150 pounds. A
recent letter to his parents boasted
he has gained two inches in height,
and he tips the scales at 170 as the
result of two years of army train
ing.
Twice before his final acceptance
for army service Burleigh fooled the
recruiting officers and was at the
point of taking the final oath when
ts plans were thwarted by his pa
rents. His first attempt was in
April, 1917, when he tried to enlist
m the regular army. His lather
checked the attempt, but not Ray
mond's ambition to be a fighter.
Again, in June, he tried for the
navy. But his mother cot wind of
it, and again he was disappointed.
But on the third try his parents
gave up, and on July 31, 1917. he en
tered the transportation department
ot the aviation section. He was sent
to Jefferson Barracks, later to Kelly

and thence overseas, sailing for

that he now sign his letters, even
those to his parents. "Fred." He
told his mother the day he left St.
Joseph that the reason he had
chosen that monaker was tnat it
"sounded like Bordeaux" savored
of France, his goal.
The lad has been abnormal m
rowth since he was 4 years old. At
his voice began to change, his par
ents declare. At 6 he had the ap
pearance of a boy of 12. At that
time his parents lived at Lincoln,
and he often played on the campus
of the state university.
Raymond showed well in his
school work, skipping several of the
earlier grades. The greatest injury
one could do him, as a child, was
to class him with children of his
own age, according to his father.
At the age of o, Raymond took
that care upon his own shoulders
for he had his first "girl" then, and
then, instead of at the age of 12 or
14, he began to take pride in nice
clothes and clean teeth and the lay
and cut of his hair. His first sweet
heart, as were the many succeeding,
was several years his senior.
Personal Pershing Letter.
To hide his age from these girl
friends for his age was always
a source of embarrassment to him,

fictitious names. It was the knowl
edge of this, in fact, that led te

successful enlistment in the army.
He had confessed to his mother
that a young lady friend knew him
as DeReaux. Two nights later he
did not appear at home for dinner.
His mother, knowing his longing
to join the colors, got the recruiting
station, on the telephone, but was
told by the officer in charge that no
Raymond Burleigh had applied for
enlistment. Then the anxious Mrs.
Burleigh remembered the name
DeReaux. Sure enough, "Fred
DeReaux, aged 20," had been sworn
into the service.
General Pershing, himself, on be
ing informed recently of Burleigh's
war heroism, wrote a personal let
ter to the secretary of war, asking
the lad to be released from the
service as soon as possible, but
Adjt. Gen. Robert C. Davis was
forced to admit that there was no
loophole that would help in ;he case.
"Fred DeReaux" was transferred
several times while he was in the
service. Once he was mixed up with
an infantry outfit, and it was then
he saw service in the front line
trenches and went over the top to
return unscratched.
