The need for . a first-class hotel
such as the Hotel Hill has long been
felt in Omaha, but here as elsewhere.-,
building construction had
been suspended during the war and
the need remained unfilled. Early
in July, 1919, the Hill brothers de
cided that the time for action had
come. ,At this time the old llcr
SGrarid was torn down and the space
arcade clear for the erection of the
Tnew Hotel Hill.
4 s Building operations were begun in
, August, 1919. and the hotel a stnet-

pertinent to a cittfs "progress and
J, 'prosperity. , Many of the" larg con-
f j Iventioff of the United States and
gatherings of 'men of national im

Letters From Home-Made Father to Son
The Joys of Pessimism,
Dear son: If you spent less time
worrying about what your gotn to
do when you get out of college an
more . time doin somethin while
you're there you might be able to
get a pretty good job when you
graduate in spite of your education.
The main thing is don't worry.
Whatsisname once Said that when
you found yourself worryin there
was only "two things to do. One
was to change matters if you could,
an the other was to forget it if you
couldn't. ,
Things has a habit of.unravelin
themselves as you 'come up to em?
I remember onct wheir- j was in
N.Y. I , seen a fire engine goin
down the street Hckety split. The
traffic looked the way it is in Mil
ford when the steam piano has gone
by an the crowds has come togetlies
behind it. Then, just as I closed
my' eyes to shut out the shriek
of the wounded an dyin, ,the way
opened up somehaw an let em
through the way butter acts with a
hot knife.,1 . , - ;, -A'
"That," says I to a man beside
me, "is like life. Yoli go rushin
along lickety split, knowin ' you
couldn't stop if ,you trieI. An
there's nothm . ahead,- but traffic
jammed wheel to wheel. An when
you get right close up onit there's
a way opens an lets you' thrpogh." .

to jump when the . crash comes so
that they never s'ee the country
their passin -through. . Now you
take old ; Farnum Hogg what had
everything in the world a man could
want. Yet he used to go-round
lookin as though someone had left
him a forchmw on their death bed
an then recovered. v .
Farnum injoyed good health a
fine family an a flurishin ; bishis. I
say injoyed. I mean hettad 'all
rtiese things,- fer he neyer. jn joyed
nbthin. The more things came his
way the more he worried fet fear
they'd quit comin. He got so he
couldn't find enough to worry about
in spite of readin three local papers
a day. . ?:

family avoided all vilent deaths an
grew into stiappin men. The doc

time cause they couW never find
nbthin'. the matter with him. v"

Right away we, noticed the change
itt "Farniim..' He'got real chipper an
bright. It wa a pleasure to see his
smiling face in the street. An when
they drove off to the poor house
they say it was a most exhileratin an
pknrin sight. Folks thought he was
awful brave but I knowed better. It
was the fust time in his life he'd
ever been. able to say, "I told you
so," and the more troubel he had the
happier it made him. Up til then
everybody'! laughed at his worryin.
Now he was showing em up.
' Oue of the greatest blessing., of
modern times is that a man knows
every day all the nasty things that's
liabel to happen to him. There's hun
dreds' of men devotin their lives to
feein that he aint taken unawares.
When yoii think how. our ansisters
didnt know nothin about bullshevism
or flu or bisnis panics an thought the
yellow peril was jawndice, it makes
you wonder what a man could find
to do in those days to keep him
f rom ' enjoyin life like a mere ani
mal. ' . , i
The mornin papers is rapidly de
velopin into a list of thinars to worrv !
about every day Its a strong man
that can face the world with a smile
after he's propped his newspaper
against the geranyum in the center
of the breakfast table an flavored his
coffe with the headlines.

months' says the head of a big New

Juubee Resents Our Attitude." ,
'Expert Declares World's Coal
Supply Will Be Exhausted in Less
Than a Milyun Years."
. " 'Prices of Shoes Lower Than It
Ever Will Be Again,' Says Big Shoe
Manufacturer."
The readin public has been
trained to gloom fer so, long they've
got so they like it. The demand is
so great the news can't keep up to it.
So they start a maggyzine page an
hire a staff of high priced mourners
to keep it filled.
Rosa McRose has a whole corner
devtfted to the inspirin question,
"Is There Such a Thing as a Happy
Marriage?" an to prove her state
ments to the contrary she prints; a
picture of herself every day.
"Can We Live" on What We're
Gettin'? No," ' by "Josephine Debbs,
the popular anarchist, is ' another
feature which causes great unrest
An so as the years go by, my boy,
the world gradually conspires
gainst cheerincss. Insurance com
panies spring up to prove to you
that if you don't die before you're
40 you'll be the victim of 10 dis

to prove to us that (he places we
used to think romantic is nothin but
filthy. The movies prove the un
faithfulness of man an the fickulness
of. woman. Science is a wonderful
thing, but it ain't never laughed yet. 1
But I m gettin away from what I
started to talk abt which was to
go ahead with your college work an
not to worry about your future.
Don't worry, but take care" of your
self. You can't think to much about
your health with all these different
diseases goin. around.
Yours anxiously, J ' .
