THE BEE: OMAHA, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 29, 1921. Single Day Catch Prize in Fishing Contest Dropped Anglers Protest That It Would Place Premium ou , Slaughter of Fish Recognized. Since announcement last Sunday of the official opening of The Bee's champ fisherman contest for Ne braska and Iowa anglers protests have been made by several sports men against one of the awards of fered. They contend, with reason, that the offer of a prize for the big gest total catch by one fisherman in one day appears to be dangling a reward for the slaughter of fish, which the fisherman may not be able to use. It is the idea of The Bee to con duct the contest in the manner most pleasing to the' anglers themselves and there is no intention to run the possible risk of encouraging needless depletion of the supply of fish in Ne braska and Iowa waters. In the in terest of preserving a contest in which all anglers may gladly enter the offer of a prize for the biggest total catch is withdrawn. The total prizes will remain at $50. A prize of $25 will be awarded for the biggest fish, $15 for the sec ond largest and $10 as third prize. Closes July 23. The contest closes July 23.

NERVOUS AND IRRITABLE WHEN THEY OUGHT TO BE IN THEIR VERY PRIME. As men grow older the iron in their blood is apt to thiri out and as a consequence their, nerves and will power become weakened and they may rapidly lose both- bodily and mental vigor. A New York phy sician says that more than one-half the population of America perishes before middle age and that one of, the chief eon tributary causes of this terrible waste of human life is the devitalizing weakness brought on by lack of sufficient iron in the blood. There are 80,000,000,000,000 red blood corpuscles in your blood and each one must have iron. When your blood is starving for iron, no mere tonics nor stimulants can put you right; starving blood must have iron the same as a starv ing person must have food iron is red blood food. But when you take iron be sure to take organic Nuxated iron and not metallic or mineral iron which people usually take. Metallic iron is made merely bv 'the action of strong acids on small pieces of iron, while organic Nuxated Iron is like the iron in your blood and like the Iron in spinach and apples. It quickly helps make rich red blood and revitalize your womout exhausted nerves. Beware of substitutes. Look for the word "Nux ated" on every package and the letters N. I. on every tablet. Your money will be refunded by the manufacturers if yon do not obtain perfectly satisfactory results. For sale by all druggists.

Flood Waters Rise in North Omaha Bottoms River Backing Into Carter Lake Drain in East Oma ha Flooding Acreage on West Side. Flood waters of the Missouri river in the North Omaha bottom lands rose two inches Monday irght, ac cording to Julius Molnar, whose land is inundated just north of Flor ence lake. The river, is atso backing into the Carter lake drain in East Omaha, flooding acreage and sloughs on the west bank ot the river. A little tar papered shack just south of the Illinois Central draw bridge, occupied by "Bill" and Dave Cook, is surrounded by the rising waters. Boats and barges belonging 'to Woods Bros., contractors, at the bend of the river north of East Oma ha, have been moved from their an chorage by the flood waters. Farmers in the North Omaha bot toms are working to throw up tem porary dikes about their lands. None has moved his household be longings as yet to escape the flood waters. Residents of the neighborhood of Ninth and Himebaugh streets called on Mayor Dahlman yesterday and asked for immediate assistance there to check the flood waters which arc rising rapidly into their homes. The mayor turned over the call to the office of Commissioner Hopkins, who sent grading equipment to the vicinity to work on a dike. Electricians Hear Address by Zimman Harry P. Zimman, city commis sioner, stopped being a city commis sioner for a short time Tuesday noon and assumed the role of lecturer and philosopher when he addressed about 75 members of the Omaha Electrical Industrial association at the Cham ber of Commerce.

Fourth of July Pageant Slated for Friday Evening A Fourth of July pageant will be held at Fontenelle park next Friday evening, under the auspices of the city recreational bureau. Folk games and various types of dances are on the program, to be executed by chil dren in that vicinity. Lovers of animal life will find in "The Yellow Horde," a novel by Hal G. Evarts, a decidedly interest ing and thrilling story. At Sand Coulee Basin lives one Collins, the "Wolfer," who long has reeotrnizerl the eovote bark and crv. and condemning the little devils. chuckles, men can t wipe them out. "Xfillinn will he left to bowl when the last man dies." Then in the still ness of night the "wolfer" catches a new cry that of a breed-wolf, a rrnss between covote and wolf, one possessing the cunning of the coyote and the strength of the wolf. Changes in the wild were brought with the coming of Breed, -the coyotes learning to run with him and hunt in a pack, it being no uncom mon sight when hunting the pack to find deer and elk on the ground that had been brought low by a severed hamstring. Collins swears to get Breed, but so cunning was the breed-wolf tliat bullet and trap and poison failed The wolf hunter owning a half wild pet, "Shady," a cross between a coyote and dog, finds his pet has been lured to the hills by the inces sent bark and call of Breed. The life of these two cross-breeds over the ranges and mountains, through several of the northwestern states into the far Canadian north, their ith the. wolf hounds and the gray wolf, "Flatear," are told in a manner tliat can oniy De ioia vy one who loves the great outdoors and knows well the habits and traits of these fleet-footed pests that still range over the mountains of the northwest. With "Legends" Amy Lowell has added another book of poetry to her already growing list ot successes, ill nnHniibtedlv be re ceived with as much and probably rrnr nfi-laim ttian 311V of tlCf OrCVi- ous volumes. In this book the author has chosen legends and myths for her subjects and has clothed them with draperies of beautiful imagery. AiMinnrrh spvpral nf them are well known and have been selected by other authors as themes for their poems, Miss Lowell has succeeded in rlntliinc them with such delicacy and beauty as to make them appear new. The first poem, "Mommoranaum Confided by a Yucca to a Passion Vine," has its setting in Peru. It is a WinH filled with ouaint humor, of the adventures of a fox looking for the moon. "Funeral Song for the Indian Chief Blackbird" pictures the ceremonies accompanying the burial of that chief. This poem is not up to tne standard of that attained in another poem, "Many Swans," which also deals with the North American In dian. The poem which perhaps discloses the real genius of Miss Lowell is "A Legend of Porcelain."
