ENTERTAINMENT FOR WOMEN

Careful calculation would show that
about fourteen hours Of actual work and
about eighteen hours of rollicking good
time is in store for the editors OF Ne
braska newspapers who are to gather IN
Omaha Monday morning for a three days
session Of the Nebraska Press association.
Surely no union men could complain OF
such a schedule. Fourteen hours Of work
in one day might be a trifie against the
rules of unionism. but the fourteen hours
OF business sessions Of the association are
sprinkled over a period of three days.
The eighteen hours of entertainment
are scattered over three days and three
nights. They include dinners and ban
quets at the FontenelIe. the Rome and
the Commercial club. They include thea
ter parties about every evening, and
sometimes in the afternoon. OF course,
1t must be understood that the afternoon
parties, or matinee parties, are for the
wives of the editors, for none OF the Quill
pushers should leave their business ses-
sions to attend a theater during the day.
Sessions open Monday.
In spite Of the lavish entertainment
planned. however. preparations have been
made for some worthy business sessions.
Rev. u. G. Brown OF Omaha Is to give
the invocation Monday morning, thus
opening the session. w. r. Watson Is TO
give the address OF welcome. President
II. A. Brainerd of Hebron is TO respond
and give the annual presidential address.
Then Doc Bixby Of the Lincoln State
Journal IL to be on deck with the annual
association poem, done in truly Bixby-
esaue diction. such as for examples
suppose l have fat old face,
Now what is that to you?
When the pro-Bixby applause has been
duly batted about by the echoes from
concrete walls. II will likely be lunch
time. Then by I:45 in the afternoon the
session is to be called again. Here five
minute talks are scheduled, and q for
midable brigade of journalistic troopers
mot with fixed bayonets. but with fixed
ldeas--will charge the association. They
have been assigned to confine themselves
! in the matter of ammunition to Pioneer
Newspaper Making in Nebraska" But
who knows whether they will confine
themselves to this limit? What are the
rules OF war in these days. anyway
II Pioneer Newspaper Making in Me-
braska" does not prove ammunition suf-
