Saving the Day.
fionny Badger kept his bright idea
to himself. But his neighbors knew
that he must have thought of some
thing, because hp seemed so good
natured all once.
"He has a secret," they told on.;
another. But they couldn't find out
what it was. Though they asked
Benny Badger point blank what he
intended to do, he refused to tell
them. He only smiled! and looked
very wise. And indeed he felt just
as wise as he looked. f
For a time a good many of his
friends spied upon him. Hidden be
hind whatever was handy, they
watched Benny Badger.
But they soon grew tired of that.
So far as they could see, he did

nothing but dig holes. And certainly
that was nothing new for him. So
his friends went about their own af
fairs, leaving Benny to dig as many
holes as he pleased.
Now, it pleased him to dig more
holes, and bigger holes, than he had
ever dug before. And he dug them
all on the other Side of the prairie
dog village on the side toward the
rancher's home.
Benny seemed to have no fixed
plan as to how he should dig the
holes whether in a straight row, or
in a circle, or any other way. His.
one idea seemed to be to dig a plenty
to dig as. many as anybody could
possibly want for any purpose what
soever. Now and then some passer-by
would stop and look at Benny for
a few minutes, and snicker.
"Are you looking for buried gold?"
Mr. Covote asked him. - v
"What's the matter have you
been digging so fast that you can't
Stop?" Mr. Fox inquired.
Even the prairie dogs timid as
they were ventured to jeer at Benny
Badger and demanded whether he
Jewel, Flower. Color
Symbols for Today
By MILDRED MARSHALL.
Coral, today's talismanic stone, en
dows those who wear it with bodily
and mental health. The - ancients
credited it with the power to pro
tect its wearers from contagious
diseases and also believed that the
paling of the coral's rose hue was
indicative of lowered vitality.
Today's natal stone, the carnalian,
also promises good health. It is
symbolic of domestic happiness as
well, and is said to assure the wom
an who wears it of love and a happy
harmonious home.
The Orientals believed that black,
today's color, should be worn only
by married women, since for them it
s indicative of lasting love. Worn
by young girls, it is indicative of
fickleness.

had gone crazy. But Benny Badger
never paused to answer anybody.
He smiled a good deal, however, as
if he knew something that nobody
else suspected. " '
Every morning at dawn he went
home to rest. And every evening
at sunset he returned to the same
place, just beyond the prairie dog
village,' to take up his work where
he had left it.
'The only remark Benny would
make when anyone insisted on talk
ing with him was that he couldn't
waste his time gossiping, because he
had to save the day. '
That seemed a strange statement.
No. one knew, exactly what Benny
Badger meant by it., To be sure,
he saved eadi day for sleeping for
he worked only at night." But it was
just as true that he saved each night
for working. So it was only natural
that people should be puzzled.
To everybody's surprise, Benny
stopped his work as suddenly as he
had begun ,it Exactly at midnight
he paused, brushed the dirt off him
self, and slipped into his coat, re
marking that he thought he "had
saved the day."
With a hungry look on his face he
turned toward the prairie dog vil
lage. And there was a great scur
rying then.
"You ought to thank mcl" Benny
Badger called to the prairie dogs
as they dived into their, holes. "I've

Now for the Auto Show
By PAUL GREER.
Merchants' weeks, bringing a large number of busi
ness men and women to Omaha from the smaller cities
of this trade territory, has come and gone. These peo
ple from out in the state brought a spirit of optimism
that was good to feel. Good weather, they reported,
was bringing people out of their winter sleep and liven
ing up business. All thought of hard times is dis
appearing, and although purchases are not as heavy as,
at some" other times, prospects are good for the future.
Business has come back. The Omaha Automobile
show which will be on the boards from Monday to Sat
urday will demonstrate, that. It lias in every other
city where one has been held. The fundamental sound
ness of business conditions can well be judged by the
popularity of these spring exhibits. The buying power
is still with us, and the spring sunshine is, as those
country merchants said, limbering up its muscles.
For a long time there was a slump in buying, owing
to the policy of deflation. The automobile trade, one
of the first to be hit, is now one of the first to recover.
The energetic and wide-awake dealers of Omaha have
prepared for large sales and fire their 'first salute at the
show.. The tire j men, dealeis in accessories, the re
pairers and the motorcycle agents are all out for busi
ness. It is a rare man who is not interested in automo
biles. One may own a car, plan to buy one, or be only
a street car customer and yet have very definite ideas
concerning the merits of the various makes. The op
portunity to see them all together and compare them
under the attention of the men who sell them and are
familiar with all their points is one of the attractions
of the show.
One who intends to buy a cay during the year can
scarcely afford to neglect the opportunity for judging
them in this way, even though he may think he knows
exactly what he wants right now.
Every person who owns a car is a potential cus
tomer for another. They do not last forever, and one
who has become accustomed to driving about the city
or out into the country will not readily give up the new
world he has conquered). The latest improvements are
to him matters of interest, and he is sure to be on hand
at the yearly exhibition.
Down the Missouri river is Kansas City, which has
just closed its automobile display. What happened
there is thus reported by the Kansas City Star :
t
The motor show ha3 been an eye-opener, not
merely to automobile dealers, but to all business
men. Who would have thought that a show in this
winter of uncertainty would beat all records on
attendance? Who would have dreamed that tens
of thousands of persons day after day would pay
admission to see something they wanted to buy?
. Certainly not the dealers themselves. Every
body knows they undertook the show this year with
misgivings. Business had been poor. When people
weren't buying, would they pay their good money
just to come out and see the cars they could see for
nothing in the showrooms? Nobody could tell. The
show might prove a flivver, but the dealers took
the chance. 1
Then see what happened. The exhibition
floors were swamped. People crowded in until they
could hardly move. The records of l4 years were
smashed. Even at the height of the buying frenzy
of last year there were no such throngs.
Was it a mere window-shopping crowd? It
was a buying crowd. Dealers who hadn't seen a
real customer for days suddenly began getting or
ders. People had money. They were able and
ready to buy when they found what they wanted.
The motor dealers are the most surprised
people in Kansas City today. There isn't a headache
in a barrel of them. They have tangible assurance
of the beginning of that return to normalcy that
everybody has been looking for. "
What happened there will be repeated in onaha.
Nebraska is just as game, just as well off as Missouri
or Kansas the country merchants who have just re
turned home are.proof of that and the gasoline ball
will furnish the final proof of the confidence and buy
ing ability of the community.
