Advertisers had previously supposed that, since men were the wage-earners, they were the only bnes worth talking to—a very grave mistake. Perhaps the argument of the amount of 2 woman's actual purchases was somewhat overworked. ‘We are inclined to think that most men buy their own shaving-soap, for instance, which was one of the questions debated at that time. But, whatever the mag- r§fude of women's actual purchases, the influence which they exert upon all purchases is radically underestimated. We have no doubt, for instance, that most “talk. ing-machines'’ are paid for by men, but in nine cases out of ten a wife or daughter had animportant “gay'”in the selection. . In a home, the woman is Sccretary of State. ‘The Curtis Publishing Company Philadelphia Chicago New York Bosten The circulation of THE LADIES' HOME OURNAL is more than 1,350,000 copies, b mooth.

Carmilo Falconi, or Fabeonl, who was ar- rested by Detectives Davis and Patullo Monday evening, at the instance of Im- migrant Inspector R. T. McNaghten of St. Louls, with a view to his deportation, was glven his preliminary hearing yester- day afternoon. He gave bond in $1,000 pend- ing the action of the immigration author- itles at Washington. Falconl tells a strange story, saying he is the victim of some spite work on the part of unknown enemies and denying that he is in any way connected with Mafia or Black gangs. He admits having served a six months’ term in an Itallan jail, twenty- seven years ago, but even in that iifstance he was, he says, [the vietim of mistaken mnmd According to his story, these many years ago, in his native,province of Carlentina, he one day caught a man attacking a young girl, He went to the rescue of the girl and drove the assallant away. The girl told of the assault to some one else, and in some way got her rescuer confused with her assallant, and Falconl was a rested and was convicted on circumstan- tial evidence, though the girl dld not chaige ‘him with the assault. Falconl was released from jail, when the true facts became known, and later he came to America. This was three years or more ago. He sent for his family about three years ago and has since lived in Omaha, where he has been employed as a cement worker. He is spoken of In the highest terms by leading Itallans in Omaha, who have known him since here, and by some who knew him in Italy, and who knew also of the circumstances of his imprisonment. He had no difficulty whatever in procur- ing’ the necessary bond of $,000, which was fixed by the United States attorney. GRAIN EXCHANGE FEASTS ON FISH FROM VALHALLA Number of Buainess Men Guests of Beal-Vincent Grain Com- pany. Members of the Omaha Grain exchange and a number of business men of this state and Iowa were guests of the Beal- Vincent Grain company at a fish dinner in the \Ymm‘ Men's Christian association bullding. The fish were caught at the pleasure resort of Rudolph Beal, president of the company, and the repast was so appetizing’ that the company, one and all, hoped that again they might have the luxury of enjoying the spoils of the lakes at historic Valhalla, Minnesota. Mr. Beal's summer residence is located on a famous battleground. At Valhalla— conisecrated to Norse mythology—in the ploneer days a fight took place between whites and Indlans, and only one of the courageous settiers survived to tell the thle. It is Intended to erect a monument at the scene of the fight. Mr. Beal in- formed his guests. His diseription of the events which made the locality famous was one of the features of the proceedings which followed the dinner. Charles Unitt was introduced by Mr. Beal, as toastmas and although he had, technically no du to discharge, he laid an embargo on each | #na everyomo of the company to tell a story or & sing a song. ‘This Was iiow the uple of hours pleasantly passed. Before separating the company accorded thanks, to the Beal-Vincent company and the president. {CITY SHY EXTRA MONEY, NONE FOR VIADUCT DAMAGE City Attormey Informs Council No Re- | wources Hesides Approprintion | Except Contingent Fund. | City Attorney Burnam has informed the | elty counell that there is: no money avail- able for any purpose other than those already provided for, exbept the small un- | expeeted balance in the contingent fund. | The council had asked for an opinion as | to the .possibllity of using any sum beyond $100000, the amount allowed by charter, with the Intention of applying the extra sum, If avallable, to the payment of dam- {ages allowed 'the owners of property abut- ting on the proposed Dodge street viaduet.

BOOSTERS' CLUB TAKES UP WORK Members See Posaib t with site Manual Training School and Back Project. ) ity at L Selection of for “We want a gym! We want a gym! We want a gym! bad! bad! bad!’ is a new aithough ungrammatical yell of the South Omaha High school students. What it lacks In elegance it makes up In eloquence. What the high school boys and girls most desire is & good and commodious gymnasium near the high school bul.ding proper. The Boost- ers' club took up the project yesterday immediately upon the purchase of the new site for the manual trajning department. The Boosters' club is a firm organization which 1s out for all things which *look to the betterment of the school It intends that nothing 5o good as a gymnastum shall escape if it comes within.the range of pos: sibility. The plan which looks very reason- able to the students and which, In fact, has appealed to'the board, ls that In' con- nection with the building for manual train- ing the board without any great additional cost could erect a splendid edifice on the new site, orie which would be a great credit to the Institution and be of service. It has been considered out of the question by the South Omaha High school faculty to organlize cadets In South Omaha until some such a place be Provided for work during the winter season. The prospect of a gymnasium makes a special appeal to the girls in the high school who love athletics and desire to play basket ball but are handicapped in practice to the very few fair days of the spring and full. No systematic training Is possible and the effort is usually a failure. Magic City Gossi Secretary Fred Metts will lead the meet- ing at the Baptist church this evening. Rev.

BANKS BOOST THE CORN TEST All Over the State They Take Up the Move with Vim, HELP PREACH THE CORN GOSPEL Prof. Weeks of Peru Normal Agricu tural College Co-Operates with Commercial Club in Test- ing Seeds | “The country cannot be too grateful to | your elub for this move and we trust |l} will be a stitch In time to save nine." Thus writes one of the presidents of one of the leading country banks of Nebraska to the Omaha Commerelal club In reference to the movement inaugurated by the club to Induce the farmers of Nebraska to | select seed corn that will grow. Bankers all over the state have taken up the movement with a vim and many letters have already been received by the Commercial club and also by Willlam B. Hughes, secretary of the Omaha Clearing House association, which sent out circulars and large cards to all the bankers of the state, over the signatures of all the banks of Omaha and South Omaha. All the bankers endorse the movement and all ask for circulars and cards and many of them offer to pay all expenses for the cards, ‘which have in large typé, ‘‘Test Your Seed Corn,” and also explain a method of testing at home. These bankers say they will mall the cards to farmers. The bank at Alnsworth is sending out 100 small books on the subject and asks for 100 circulars to send with these. The bank at Randolph wants 800, Valentine 500, hawka 400, Florence 100, Long Pine 100, Chadron 0, Brainard 20, Cedar Rapids 50, Burwell 500, Wymore 100. Bankers at Jackson have sent out 6500 circulars prepared by themselves on the subject and now want 500 of the “test” cards. They say: "It is a step in the right direction; something the farmers have been too 1ax about in the past.” Jackson offers to test seed corn for the farmers. The Commercial club has placed a sec- ond batch of corn in the tester to make further' experiments. This corn also comes from all parts of the state. Corn 1s ar- rivipg every day from farmers who wish thelr corn tested by the Commercial club and the big tester will be kept busy. Prof. Weeks at Peru Helpa. Prof. Charles R. Weeks of the Normal Agricultural department at Peru has taken up the work inaugurated by the Commer- clal club and s sending out circulars in which he offers to test any corn the farm- ers send to him at the Normal school. He is also using this method to instruct his classes In seed tosting. Here Is the circular: “On account of early frosts, excessive molsture and severe winter weather much of last year's corn will not grow. This has been proven by the Omaha Commerclal club.in tests recently made on seed corn sent In from various parts of this state. “Weak seed means poor stand, and poor stand means Tess yleld. Let us, around Per:, be sure that every ear of torn that we plant will not only grow, but that it will grow so strongly that the young plants will be’able to withstand any un- favorable spring weather that we might have. You are cordlally invited to co-operate with the Normal agricultural department in a seed corn testing experiment. We have arranged it so that we can tesj one bushel of seed corn for every farmer around Peru absolutely free. The plan Is this: “l You bring to the agricultural bulld- ing one bushel of your seed corn on the Saturday before the week you want it tested. “2. We test it absolutely free. “3. You come up to the greenhouse be- tween the hours of 2 and § on the follow- ing Saturday, see the result of the test with your own éves and get your seed corn. “4. Every (ear of your corn will be re. turned to you. 5. Corn for next week's test must be in this Saturday. 6. First come, first served. “This plan has the endorsement of the Peru Farmers' institute and Peru Com- mercial club.

Roy Green, suspected of connection with the gold theft cases, has been positively \dentitied by James Woodman, superin- tendent of the McCague buflding, where two of the robberies were perpetrated.

In the face of his identification by Wood- man Wednesday morning he remalned un- flinching and steadfast in his declarations: i Council Refuses to Split City Backtracks on Proposition of Dividing it in North and South Dis- triots at Dodge. The city councll backtracked Wednesday on action heretofore taken dfviding the city into two districts, north and south of Dodge street, for the purpose of letting sidewalk contracts. What caused the body 1o sit up and take notice was an objection by Councilman Bridges that two dlstricts would be worso than four, into which the city is now divided. Other councilmen agreed with this view. Assistant City Engineer Campen ex- plained that specifications for two districts had been adopted at & previous meeting. H said City Engineer Craig belleved- bett: work eould be secured by having only two alstricts. Everybody disclaimed any knowledge of the district clause in the specifications and then the .council -proceeded to adopt an amendment re-establishing the four dis- tricts, on which bids will be asked for side- walk bullding during the coming season.
