But there.is need for more of almost all sorts of gar- ments. The Volunteers get (calls every day for old colthing of ‘one kind and another and can use gar- 1+ ments that are well on their way to * the father fell , make the first month stm? a) \ [ > e the ragbag. 3 One case which ' the Volunteers handled last week was that of a wor- thy father and mother with four chil- dren, who had, been evicted from light housekeeping rooms because ck and lost his job. Major- McCormick found a job for him: Then he found a landlord who would rent a four-rodm cottage for $8 a month and- ther he furnished the house with sécond-hand furniture and provided the family with' provi-| sions for a week. ' The new landlord is’a kind-hearted man and agreed to to_five weeks Hefore another rent day. Now :i{;q family is in much improved con- ition. R s 3w s oo e More Farmers Are Buying, Furtiaces All, the Time Furnace heated homes are getting to be quite common -on Nebraska farms. Few new farm houses are now being built that are not provided with a furnage, and many of the older houses are getting them, according to .'Li Nesbit, president and manager of the Standard Furnace and ‘Supply compar;‘ly of Omaha; Mr. Nesbit said ‘that both hard' and soft coal furnaces l{e being bought by the farmers. T ei {re er, as @ rule, furnaces in which any kind ' of fuel may be burned. The farmer will not hang back because of price when he findg the heater he wants. “We have never known a season to n %s strongly as this,” said' Mr. sbit. “Both the:city and country demands’ are exceeding our expecta- tion. People began to turn their at- tention to the heating problem earlier than usual and are demanding better grades of flirnaces.” { Mr. Nesbit said that the Nesbit all- cast heater, now being used in so many homes throughout Omaha and the state, has undergo: £ changes this season. fied the improvementsi.added thip year will enable the Ne:bit to produce even more heat from'a small quantity of |, fuel,” hesaid. Dean Halsey Spends ' Vacation on a Farm The ancient wise men and philoso- phers, who sought nature as a most valuable teacher have nothing on Dean Halsey of the University of Omabha. The dean has just returned from Wahoo, whege he and Mrs. Hal- sey spent their vacation with rela- tives and friends. 2 \ When school closed last spring the dean decided to forget for a while all about Latin, calculus, history and schedules, whereupon he went to a farm near Wahoo, doffed his college attire and robed himself in rustic vestments, \ " He'took in all the enjoyments of- fered by farm life. He helped to make hay, thresh wheat, milk cows, feed/ chickens, and gather_eggs. Often he spent the afternoon fishing in some quiet pond. ‘He says that he had & very pleasant vacation. Some members of the preparatory class fear that the dean spent the summer in the country in order to strenwthen "his muscle so that he might manage them with more case. HysloEi:‘]w”tes Soldiers joy Selves on the Front Probation Officer Miller has re- ceived word from Andrew Hyslép, formerly an employe of the count treasure's office, who is now witl the Fourth ‘Nebraska regiment at Llano Grande, Tex. “We are having a good time in the sticks"around here, miles “from nowhere,” writes Mr. Hyslop. “I am with a machine gun company and am driving a flivver.’ .

He remained with the Union Pacific until 1869, after the driving of = the golden spike which linked this road with the Central Pacific. | In running the Union Pacific lines west from Omaha, Mr. Bissgll favored what is now the Lane cut-off, but was| overruled by the higher powsrs and the main line was constructed by Way of Papillion only to be changed a few years ago. Out along the Platte river, east of Central City, he surveyed for a tangent something over 100 miles in length, which would have been the longest in the world, but again he was overruled, officers of the road insist- ing that the line where possible should run, close to the river in order that from the groves 'llong the bank they could secure timber for bridges and ties. AN Much 6f the construction Mr. Bis- sell asserts was done under the pro- tection of United States there presence being necessary to keep off the Indians, who in these da(!’- were troublesome. > iving the version of the ’nimmz_ of the Rawhide, a. small creek flowing through the western part of Douglas ounty, Mr. Bissell says that during the early days of Union Pacific con- struction, a man who had recently rived from England, withgut proveca- tion, shot and killed an Indian woman, Later the Indians took the man out of a surveying camp, and as s punish- ment for the murder, tied him to a tree and skinned him alive. Ever afterward the -small stream was known as the Rawhide. ce———— Carrier Pigeons Used by Germans To Carry Messages With the German Army on the Baupaume Front in France, Sept. 7.
