ContriL"-ions Received.
While sage politicians were mak
ing meaningless prognostications
and consulting the ouija board lo
determine ,what the women were
going to. !o at the polls, there was
vo shallow of "a doubt concerning
approval of the Salvation Army ap
peal by - the newly enfranchised
electorate.
Mrs. Robert S. Trimble ciptured
first honors at the report luncheon
Tuesday, when more -than $1,000 was
turned infrom about pne-half thi
precincts in the Eighth ward. With
t!ie- work still uncompleted the can
vass will show a considerably larger
total, Mrs. Trimble said.
' One of the first industries to com
plete Its work was the Nebraska
Telephone company which turned in
nearly $500 in cash, representing
practically every employe.
"There would be no question of
raising the entire quota in the city
of Omaha, if all the people could be
reached," C. E. Corey, city chair
man, said last night. "It has been
impossible at this time to secure a
sufficient number of workers. Th;
checks that arc. coming into head
quarters unsolicited indicate that
there are many people anxious to
contribute if they could only be
reached."

Indians Pay Fancy Prices

They have met their equals ii the
Piute Indians of Mone and I in.-'
counties of California. These ".'iist
Americans" seemed to have cast
i'way their native indifference and
natural stoicism and are in. an org
of buying automobiles, silken Ins:

alike are reckless with their bmk
