ALL HAPPY AT WAY PIE
WAS FINALLY DOLED OUT
Mayor, Republicans and Both Fac
tiOns of Democratic Council
Express Satisfaction.

Peace again reigns in the city hall and
all are happy with the exception OF the
bakers dozen OF appointees who have been
pushed from the public crib.
Mayor Dahlman says he got about all no
wanted. the republican couneIimen believe
they did as well as any one could under
the circumstances, the friendly" demo-
Gratis chuckle over saving TO the mayor Of
the principal members of his cabinet and
the traitors are Joyful because they
showed the chief executive that he is not
the whole show.
Now that It is all over, 1t has been de-
cided by city hall attaches that the mayor
played a shrewd political game, and by
sparring with the council made II appear
that he tried to pay off political debts,
but that In the final analysis he was
secretly glad the council refused TO con-
firm some Of the men he appointed. These
attaches point out several instances among
which are Valentine Karabowski for meat
inspector. Karabowski was insistent upon
getting a political Job, so the mayor twice
appointed him TO the position, and that
was all he could do. 1t was not his fault
that the council did not confirm Kara
bowski, and now the mayor Is square"
with him.
Il did not say that / got all the men I
would like TO have seen confirmed" said
the mayor, but l am wen satisfied with
the result l am particularly glad IN the
selection Of Judge Dickinson for city
prosecutor. lie is q good lawyer and a
good friend OF mine"

ASHLAND RANGE A FIXTURE
Government Probably VIII Decide 90
Retain IT as Target Prac-
tice Field.

There is a strong probability hat the
Ashland target range may be made a per-
manent range for small arms practice by
the United States army. q.
Colonel Cornelius Gardener OF the Six
teenth infantry is now at the Ashland
range TO make an exhaustive inspection OF
the range and surroundings with a view to
considering its permanent use as a govern
ment small arms target range.
1t was used as a practice range by the
Sixteenth infantry during the present tar
get season with satisfactory results, and
there is reason to believe that It may be
transposed into a permanent range for all
the troops contiguous to Omaha, including
Fort Des Moines.

The Next Four Stories Win Interesting Books
One of these even prizes may as
well be yours. Why not try for it2

All school children below the second yaer in High
school have opportunities to win the prizes indicated
above. Here's the way; r.
There are countless plots for rOmances, tragedies
and comedies in the want ad pages of every edition of
The Bee. If you unearth a plot from one of these little
advertisements, and write an interesting short story
based on it, we will give you a prize.
Your parents or friends may help you in the selection
of a plot, but the composition must be all your own work.
We want stories of not more than 500 notwithstanding,
clever little stories-the very best you can write. You
will not only have a chance to win one of the prizes, but
will get a whole lot of fun out of selecting the plot and
writing the story.
You may think, right now, that the selection of a
plot is going to be hard. 1t isn't. Of course, you'll have
to think and observe and read the advertisements care
fully, if you want to win a prize, but you can win if you
will really try.
You see, the people use the want ad pages of'The Bee
for so many different purposes that each little advertise
ment is really a pulse beat in the life of a city. Some of
the advertisements will suggest poverty; some will sug-
gest prosperity; some romance; some comedy; and so on,
through the many different phases of life.
"A situation wanted advertisement could bring to
mind the story of a young mans struggle to secure a start
in life. A horse for sale might suggest the story of a
husband who wants to sell the horse in order to present
an electric runabout to his wife.
Make up your mind, NOW, to win one of these prizes.
You can do it-and at the same time have a lot of fun.
It's a fascinating game.
There are a score of good stories in this very edition
Of The Bee. Turn to the want ad pages and dig them out.
You can do it.
