RAIN GOOD FOR One TRADE
Shoe Men Report Their Business
During Last Six Weeks Has
Been Unusually Brisk.
ALL LINES HAVE GOOD TRADE

Omaha shoe dealers arc hopping their
brows and getting breath OF dir now
that the rainy weather has stopped for
a moment and warm. dry sunshine has
taken its place. The shoe men are catch
ing the breath they did not have time
to catch during all the half dozen weeks
of rainy weather For shoe men have
been especially busy and have made
what they call rich harvest during
that time.
Just as sure as the old saying. one
mans loss is another's GAIN Is true
maxim. SO sure Is IL that while some
classes OF business fall far behind dur
ing rainy spell, the shoe business is one
that profits during such spell II Is n
recognized fact that rainy weather sells
shoes. and the rainy spell Just expert
enced has been no exception. The shoe
man explains It by the fact that wet
weather draws a mans attention to the
fact that hi sole is thin or entirely worn
out.
All business Good.
Business in all retail lines has been ex-
ceptionRily good. however. In Omaha

The Police Department

Relative t0 the police department, Er. Jones has stated that # tne city could only afford t0 pay one police officer, that officer would he m ftgI uniform, and on the job, where be cou-+7 be found during 1ae hours he served, There has been much d.ssatis- faction over &he police department for years En Hot Spr.mgs.
 Esn'& i& about time that Hot Springs gave inc supervision of this department tO . broad gaWged liberal man W8O would see xhat the department was conducted as 1t is conducted in other first class cities, and that inc police could be looked t0 as the guardians of the public peace of &He c0ssG- nunity under all condjti0nsE
 The visitors observe the police Condi- tions probably more than any other branch of the city government. The police should be especially interested in a kindly and courteous attitude towards 0uF visitors, and should through t1is medium, be useful in other ways 3E1an in dragging men to Jail for violations of the IaW, Mr. Iones has ad- vanced ideas in the matter of conducting }he police department that are certain to receive y0uF approval.

To the Laborer and Mechanic

The Democratic party, ever t:1e friend of the working man in aiI walks 0f fife, offers for your consideration at the polls in the coming municipal election Harry As gones, who has ever been and ever NsI be the friend Of the working people. Nr. Jomes is HgisnseAE a working man. He began in Mot Springs IA years ago in q most humble way +O scale tI1e ladder of success and he began at the bot tom.
 During the first years of his citizenship here he performed labor. Later he was ad- Vanced to the management Of the WaVeriy hotel and later was given the management of the Majestic hotel, where his business capabilities made splendid success of his undertakings. Oriy short while ago he purchased the Majestic hotel property
 En his management and in his business affairs he has proved himself the friend of the working men by being what is known iss labor circles as a "gO0d man to work for" That means that he pays good wages, treats his employees we'll, is courteous and cOnsd- crate of them under all circumstances and conditions, and is probably accountable for xhe fact that as unit those working for him are enthusiastic in support of his candidacy.

To the NOn-Partisan

There is always im every community large number of splendid citizens who do not affiliate closely with any political organ ixation. They keep aloof from partisansElip and therefore keep themselves free to vote for the best qualified men offered in the general elections.
 Ths class of vote is already almost an unit for Harry A. Jones, because i'm him they realize they are getting an opportunity to support man, who, though a Democrat. will be mayor of the whole city without re- gard to partizanship obligations that have been considered necessary in the past
 They realize that MT. JOnes'svS!! pAt forth his best efforts for the advancement of the city, that his administration will not be used for the purpose Of competing future polit- icaE alliances, and particularly in this re- Spect, Mr. g0neS will not be candidate for a second term even as a Democratic mayor unless the people as a whole are so satis- fled with his administration that the call will be practically unanimous. These facts make the candidacy of Harry A. Jones par ticularIy appealing to the voters known as non-PSrtisans.

To the Democrats

We cannot believe tEgat inc men wggo have stood with tSlG Democratic organizations 0g Hot Springs and Garland County for years are at ti1is tSle going GO break W5&7 tl9e pay ty. Et is trt5e tEa& ncNg as always, &here are men who have affiliated wtf the party, olst who will not be content to support the non- inees of the party unless tIoe u9an they voted for in tEre primary wins inc nomination,

Feature Film Company "on location at
Point Coquin, Upper Peninsula, to make
the great polar scenes Of Flagg's new six
reeler, "The Angel of the Arctic"
THE polar scenes were placed upon the
ice between Peary Land and the Pole;
but. as that merely meant long stretches
of frozen sea, pack-ice and foes and hum
mocks and pressure ridges, with gaunt,
barren rocks here and there, Flagg had
found all these at the northern end of
Lake Michigan. in January. And at the
edge of the ice was the open water re-
quired for the great climax scenes of the
fifth reel to which Hently had referred.
So, since the first week i'll January,
Flagg had kept his company Of forty men
and women at the summer hotel there.
The company had completed one hundred
and eleven of the hundred and thirty-two
arctic scenes; twenty-one only remained
to be made. Some of these might later be
photographed in deep snow almost any

where; but, since others must be made
upon the same location, Marian and
Hently must go again three miles from
shore and react those scenes in the gale
this morning, or the rest of the fifth and
sixth reels now finished might as well be
scrapped and thrown away.
Marian walked out upon the ice, exam-
lining the danger of this demand upon
her. She did not come from an acrobatic
troupe or from a department store. Her
people had been of the sort who acted
in the old days at Daly's; her mother
had been member of Mansheld's COM
panies; and, since she was eighteen,
Marian herself had played leads in New
York and London.
When, the preceding December, the
play in which she had been starring had
been taken off and she had received the
telegram offering her the part Of the
"Angel" in this wild outdoor photo-drama,
she had accepted it in the spirit of ath-
letic adventure, and prepared to concede

breakfasting alone. "GoOd morning.
~ You've heard the order for the day."
The leading woman-she was slight
girl, dark-hared and blue-eyed, with the
dainty but definite features required for
film work-looked up. "We're to work
on the ice again."
"Yes; sorry, but it seems those fifth
reel scenes weren't right-the ones where
| find you freezing to death. Flagg and
Tatnall saw them on the screen last night,
and they both said they wouldn't do"
Marian colored quickly. @I thought
that was the trouble. l hadn't been able
to free myself from the feeling that, as
was freezing to death, l was of some inn
portance in those scenes-whereas, of
course, the sole object of interest must
always be yourself"
Hently's handsome face f1ushed-but
not from anger, as had hers; from injury.
And as before when she had succeeded
in snubbing him, Marian felt queer
sense of shame spelling the triumph of it.
"Since it means working out there on
the ice again to-day" he said, al wanted
to say that if you'd be ready half an hour
earlier than usual, would. The sooner
we finish, the better. The ice is threaten
ing to go, | hear"
Marian followed his graceful saunter
y down the dining-room. Every one else
also was gazing at him-every one, down
to the country girl mattresses, who frankly
abandoned all pretense of interest in Others
simply and wholly to adore him. The
sight banished Marian's regret at the
success of her snub; this feminine worship
of Hently was sickening. Less than three
years ago he had been floor walker in
a department store. Dave Flagg, who
happened to go shopping with his wife,
saw the handsome young man-Hently
was then twenty-four-and also he saw
the women crowding around Hently to
ask any sort of supertluous question and
ogling him as they moved away. Flagg
watched the spectacle for half an hour,
and that evening signed up Hently to a
contract.
Hently's first appearance on the screen
surpassed even Flaggs most sanguine
hopes of success. Women and girls went
wild about him. His manager, certain
now that he had good thing, built upon it.
From possessing goodlooks Hently became
publicly endowed with every ability and
virtue; he was skiful strong, brave as a
lion, and-unmarried. Yes, James Hently,
the unequaled, was still heart-whole.
Marian smiling satirically to herself,
arose and left the dining-room.
Her maid brought her cap and fur
mttens and great-coat to her in the hotel
hall. Marian bundled up and went out
doors. The wind from the north, which had
been crashing and whistling about the
fimsy summer hotel all night, was now a
gale-a violent below-zero gale, blowing
big gray clouds above it. "Snow," said
the government weather forecast. Solder,
with northerly blizzard by evening"
Colder it already was; the thermometer
on the porch, which had stood at ten
below in the evening, was now four degrees
lower. The February sun-a small, lemon
hued disc low down to the southeast
scarcely showed between the clouds.
There was no doubt that Michigan mid
winter storm was going to postpone indef-
initely further activities of the Flagg
