The fraternal organizations OF Omaha
have proven themselves a great help to the
exposition visitors who arrive in Omaha
total strangers and without friends. In
formation bureaus have been established
about the city where members OF fraternal
organizations, and nearly everyone belongs
to some order nowadays, may have reliable
information about all matters pertaining to
accommodations in the city. The feeling Of
fellowship which exists between members
of the same order removes all hesitancy
that there, may be about approaching q
stranger. The lodge rooms of most Of the
fraternal organizations are kept open all the
time for the accommodation OF visiting
brothers, and since the opening Of the ex-
position the visiting lists OF the different
lodges show that members have not been
slow to avail themselves Of these privileges.
The headquarters at the exposition grounds
have also proven to be a ~favorite meeting
place for lodge men. The first place mem
bers OF fraternal organizations go when they
enter the grounds is to the headquarters Of
the lodge they belong to, and the register
affords them an opportunity to know all
the brothers who are on the grounds. In
many cases this has been the means OF
bringing together men who could not have
found each other in any other way. No
other places on the grounds are so home
like as the secret society headquarters, and
in no other places do visitors take as much
comfort.

SHELLEY'S PROPHECY,

Was Shelly prophet as we'll as poet? asks
a correspondent OF an eastern paper. In
The Revolt of Islam,' written in 1917, he
finds these verses:
There Is a people mighty in its youth,
A lane beyond the oceans OF the west,
truth
Are worshipped; from a glorious mothers
breast,
Who. since high Athens fell, among the rest
Safe like the queen OF nations, but in woe
Turns to her chainless child for succor now.
And draws the milk of power In wlsdom's
fullest flow.
This land is like an eagle whose young
gaze
Feeds on the noontide beam, whose golden
Floats moveless on the storm. and in the
blaze
of sunrise CLEANS when earth is wrapt in
Great people! AS the sands shalt those be-
come.
Thy growth, is swift as morn, when nigh
must fade.
The m|ultitudinous earth shall sleep beneath
thy shade.
May! start not at the name-America!"

the most vitality. the girls at Manhattan or
the girls In the harvest field? Incidentally
1t may be remarked that the old man who
owns the farm generally has a comfortable
bank account when the girls help harvest
time. 1t goes without saying that when
these harvest girls get married the fortu-
nate young man who secures one has a
helper. And, to avoid all personal trouble,
the writer honestly believes that three
