4,000 Are Guests
At Garden Party
Of British Throne
Colonel and Mrs. House and
Many Other Prominent
Americans Are Included
Among Those Present
London July 22. King George
and Uuccn Mary today gave a
garden party at Buckingham palace
to some 4,000 guests. Included
anion ft the Americans present were
Col. E. M. House and Mrs. House,
Cot. II. H. Rogers, Mrs. Rogers and
Miss Millicent Rogers, Archibald
Roosevelt and Mrs. Roosevelt, Jus
tice Mahlon Titney and Mrs. Pitney
and their son and daughter; Mrs.
James Winslow, Miss Alice Ferking,
a niece of Lady Astor, and Mr. and
Mrs. Lewis Stuyvesant Chanter.
The spacious lawns presented a
brilliant scene. All the members of
the royal family were present, to
fcttlier with the foreign ambassadors
and ministers the dominion premiers,
Indian notables, members of the
government and others.
King George and Queen Mary
shook hands with some 2,000 of their
guests. The lawn party was to
some extent a substitute for the
$curts which the kin? and queen
were unable to hold this year, and
the informal presentations are
equivalent to the usual presentations
at court.
The gowns worn by the women
were rather more subdued than those
teen at Ascot and the Henly regatta.
Most of the skirts were longer than
those lately considered fashionable.

More Truth Than Poetry
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE
NO DANGER
A Western Board of Trade has passed a resolution against the employ
ment of pretty stenographers.
Dear Fhyllis though the Board of Trade
Has vowed that it is going to get you,
Because your lovely face has made
Too big a hit don't let that fret you.
It's true you girls with limpid lamps
And melting looks that brook no curbing,
Have been denounced as Office Vamps"
Much less efficient than disturbing.
But though you cause the handsome clerk
To shirk his job, and to the stranger
Who happens in, you give The Work,
Your place is not in any danger.
A Board of Trade is many men
From every thought of evil fleeing;
Your boss is something else again
He's just a single human being.
A Board of Trade has moral sense;
Bound by a strong commercial tether,
Its members are a bunch of gents
Most proper (when they're all together).
And though they have decided that
You must be banished from the city,
Paste this reflection in your hat:
Your boss, himself, prefers you pretty.
You dolled yourself to get the job;
Your charms you marshalled which were legion
The boss beheld, and felt a throb
Arising in his cardiac region.
A Board of Trade might have foreseen
The help would too much have admired you
The while you tapped on your machine
Your boss, however, promptly hired you.
We've been around most every place, '
Pursuing this and that vocation,
And never knew a pretty face ,
To cost a girl her situation!
SAFE
Florida is going to limit lawyers to $3,000 a year. But Mr. Bryan who
has recently moved there doesn't practice law any more.
EMBARRASSING
Now we have got peace we don't seem to know what to do with it.

We don't believe Lenine is as crazy as reported. He sent Bill Hay

SIXTEENTH AND HOWARD STREETS
Young Wife Prays
As Bathers Work
On Drowned Mate
Husband Found Unconscious
In 20 Inches of Water at
Lake Manawa Efforts to
Rcsusitate Him Fail.
Helpless and afraid, the pretty
young wife of Arthur James Wood,
22, prayed aloud Thursday night as
she watched fellow bathers at Lake
Manawa attempt to resuscitate her
husband, who was found unconscious
in 20 inches of water along the
beach,
fhe Woods, with a party of
friends, had gone to the lake for a
swim.
Young Wood, who was employed
by the Missouri Pacific in Omaha
and lived at 1827 Fourth avenue,
Council Bluffs, was subject to faint
ing spells because of a weak heart,
according to his wife.
He was found unconscious in the
water and fellow bathers carried
him to shore, making efforts to re
vive him while awaiting Dr. J.
C. Anderson, who had been sum
moned. All efforts failed. Absence of any
great amount of water in the 3'oung
man's lungs led Dr. Anderson to
express the belief he had suffered a
fainting spell and died of heart
disease while in the water.
The young wife is employed in the
safety deposit department of the
Council Bluffs Savings bank. Be
sides her, young Wood is survived
by his mother, Mrs. J. H. Wood; two
half-sisters and cJie half-brother.
Coroner Cutler took charge of the
body. No inquest will be held.

Local Elks have called a lodge

question of buying a site for a home.
The lodge bought the Lyric theater

Body of Indian Boy
Killed By Train Is
Identified by Pal
Fremont, Neb., July 22. (Special
Telegram.) The mangled form of
the Indian youth found on the rail
road tracks at Winslow Tuesday
was identified as that of Clarence
White, 16, of Winnebago and runa
way charge of the Genoa school.
The body was dug up from its
grave at Hooper and identification
established by the runaway pal, who
was located at his home in Winne
bago. He stated that they had separated
at Fremont to avoid arrest. White
insisted on hopping a freight to
Winnebago, he said, although he had
decided to walk." He reached home
in a nearly crippled condition as a
result' of his hike. Supt. W. C.
Johnson of the Genoa school
brought the victim's companioned
Hooper to assure the identification.
The boys were on their way home
penniless and with nothing to eat
for many hours. White's body was
taken to Winnebago for burial. Au
thorities are of the opinion that
young White was the victim of vio
lence at the, hands of the I. W. W.
University Place Youth
Dies of Diving Injuries
Lincoln, July 22. (Special.)
Emil Deuser, 18, University Place,
died today of injuries sustained in
diving yesterday. Deuser's head
struck a substance underneath the
water and the impact broke his
neck, paralyzing his lower body.
Henry Yetter, a friend, swam out
and brought the youth to shore.
Deuser was a well-known high
school athlete.
Wood Lake Hay Crop
Is Below Average
Wood Lake, Neb., July 22. (Spe
cial.) Ranchers started cutting their
hay flats here this week and the
majority of reports received so far
indicate a short crop. The Goose
Creek country south of here is the
exception, as the cutting along this
valley appears to be about normal.
Most of the smaller ranchers are
vorking short-handed to save the
heavy expense of putting up the
crop. The larger ranchers are work
ing full crews as fast as they can
get the men and most of them need
from two to six more men.
It is estimated that not to exceed
two-thirds of the hay ground will
be cut this year as . the excessive
freight fates prevent the usual
amount of baling for shipment on
the market, so the hay men are
planning on putting up just enough
for their own cattle.
Saline County Farm Agent

manent agent.
