There is big crop OF apples in Me-

This year Nebraska will swap apples,

OF the mammoth business in these lines

The business in Omaha has trebled
in the last five years. Omaha is recog-

One can have no idea of the enoT-

in the course OF a year, unless some
one in the business has told him. 1t
runs up into the millions OF dollars.
Omaha is perhaps the biggest clearing

deciduous and citrus. and especially so
as regards citrus fruits.

decided that Omaha needed public
market and located one AZ Fourteenth
street and Capitol avenue. The city was
overrun with pedders and the council
wanted to give the retailers a better
chance by providing place where they
could buy vegetables and thus do away
with the necessity for so many peddlers.
But the location proved poor one, the
Omaha Market House association was
formed. with many OF the retailers as
stockholders. Ground was purchased at
Eleventh and Jackson and sheds and
platforms were built. The move was a
wise one and for years the market has
presented very busy scene on mornings
during the vegetable season.

The goods are shipped in refrigerator
cars, on fast schedules, and brokers get
a daily report from the railroads as TO
where they are. The contents OF the
cars are inspected once or twice on the
way from the west to Omaha.
While IL is true that the greater per
centage of this vast amount Of fruit
Is not actually handled by hand in
Omaha, the financial end OF the trans

 A theatrical attraction which has the unqualified and unanimous com rnendation of the best elements m the community. is a rarity indeed such an attraction is Dante's Infer no'', presented for the moving picture by a distinguished company or itai- ian artists, who have devoted their xffts. their time and their money to the achievement. After period Of two years. success crowned their eff forts, and they gave to the world a
 marvellous reproduction of Dante's ssInferno' Nothing was left to chance or accident in the preparation Of the work, but on the contrary, the slightest detail was given the most careful attention, and as the produc- ton now stands, and at it will be shown on next Monday, Tuesday and "Wednesday at the Park theatre, it may safely invite the criticism, not ,only of the public at large. but of every Dante scholar in the land.
 It would be impossible within the limitation of a short paragraph to go into the contents of the Inferno as filmed by. the Milano-Films Co., While the creation must necessarily prove . special attraction to readers of Dante, 1t will be of interest to ev- ] cry man, woman and child, and the fun explanatory lecture delivered, makes every situation plain and clear Unquestionably the greatest moving Egictnre yet produced. There will be daily matinees.

With such great vaudeville favorites as the peerless Joe Welch, the Ryan and Richfield Company, the. Sutcliffe Troupe and many other stars, next weeks vaudeville offering at Polls theatre promises to furnish the most delightful of entertainments even for the most jaded of theatregoers-if there are such individuals. Through out the bill is of uniform high quality est entertainment, particularly the sunny comedy which dispells blues and rejuvenates through enjoyment.
 s The name of Joe Welch alone is suf- fic.ent to conjure by in vaudeville. Known throughout the world as one of the greatest character actors with out exception, this famous star will give to Bridgeport audiences his lat lest conception, "A Study from Life', taken from his actual observations and experiences in New York's East Side. Needless to say the comedy for which Mir. Welch is famous will be plentifully interspersed and the artis- Ttic representation of the type which he portrays is bound to please all who enjoy acting of the cleverest type.
 The return of the Ryan -Richfield Company with another of the famous Mag Haggerty'' series is sufficient to route the army of "glooms'' in Bridge port a week in advance. No vaude- vile comedy ever achieved a greater laughing success than the Mag flag gerty'' idea with the many side-split- ting adventures which befell this ann bilious woman and her remarkable husband. This season an entirely new playlet is presented, Mag Haggerty, Osteopat th'', in which the inimita ble Mrs. Haggerty essays the role Of fe- male physician. The act is a real scream throughout.
 In addition to these stellar attrac- tions, the bill contains another great act in "The Old Soldier Fiddlers", real veterans of the Civil War, who play the songs and tunes which delighted and pleased the earlier generations, and which today bear the patriotic ring which thrills and inspires.
 Then there are the Sutcliffe Troupe of Scotch pipers and musicians, prime favorites throughout vaudeville, pre- senting a, number of unique and in- teresting Sotch dances as we'll as the characteristic Scotch music on the pipes. Elsie Durand, the female bari tone, singing cemedlenne with a re- markable voice; Bailey and Tear, two high class eolored entertainers and comedians. and Ruth Delarm, a pretty and accomplished tight wire expert. The E.ectrograph and orchestra with new and pleasing selections top off the weeks splendid bill.
