FORD TO EMPLOY
800 MEN IN OMAHA
New Plant to Be Six Stories High
and to Cover Practically
Entire Block.
TO BE BUILT BY APRIL

A six-story building of reinforced
concrete and covering eventually
practically block of ground, is to be
built by the Ford Motor company,
beginning September / on the block
between Fifteenth and Sixteenth
street and between lizard and Cum
ing. This is to be the new assem-
bling plant of the Ford company
where the parts Of the cars are re-
ceived and set up for distribution.
While this has been limited at for some
weeks, it has been kept somewhat under
cover while negotiations for the purchase
of the ground were in progress, as other
cities were bidders for the plant and
competition was Keen
Price Paid s1O6,OOO.
The price paid by the Ford people for
this entire block was $lO5.OOO. The
negotiations were conducted and the deal
closed through Fred G. Shields of Omaha,
who has been whole year at work OBJ
tanning the necessary options and con-
cluding the negotiations. The various
lots on the block were owned by seven
different persons, some OF them residing
far from Omaha. In some cases single
lot was divided among two owners which
made the negotiations still more difficult
and complicated.
The owners of the property who have
now sold to the Ford people were Mrs
Margaret McDermott, the Brynmawr
college, Byron Reed company, Mrs. Josie
McCulloch of California, Jerry Leary.
Simon Adler & David Sherman and Mrs.
Emily T. Blake.

employ between 800 and 400 men. The
building is to be six stories high of rein

tion for the new plant can begin. Adler

Peter Rabbit investigates.

Blacky the Crow had brought
strange story to the dear Old Brler
Patch. He said that he had just hap
pened to be flying over the Green For
est when he saw Reddy Fox curl up for
a sun-nap on the Great Rock deep in
the Green Forest near where Buster
Bear used to make his home. Blacky
had stopped in the top of tall pine
tree where he could watch Reddy. The
fact is, he had intended to wait until
Reddy was asleep and then scare him.
That is one of Blacky's favorite tricks.
He likes to make people think there is
danger when there isn't any. At the
same time when there is any real dan
ger Blacky never fails to give warning,
and for this reason his neighbors forgive
him for the tricks he plays.
But this time he hadn't had chance
to scare Reddy. Something else had
frightened him. and for the life of him
Blacky couldn't even guess what 1T was.
Reddy had seemed to be just going to
sleep when suddenly he sprang to his
feet with every hair standing on end,
the way it does when he is frightened.

SEMINARY AT SAN ANTONIO.
Catholics of Country to Establish
School for Mexicans.

Arrangements whereby Catholics of
the United States are to establish
theological seminary in San Antonio,
Tex, for Mexican students have been
made, it is learned, by Rev. Francis
Kelly, president of the Catholic Church
Extension Society. recently returned
from Mexico.
The bishops of Mexico have selected
Bishop John Herrara of Tulancingo as
president of the seminary. They also
have chosen five professors for the in
stitution. Bishop Herrara has written
for the Eudist fathers of France to
come to Texas and take charge of the
seminary, but, pending this arrange
ment, another staff has been engaged.
The students are now scattered all over
Mexico. Many parishes are entirely
without pastors.
The Church Extension Society has
pledged itself to support the seminary
entirely for one year. At the end of
that time other arrangements will be
made, depending on the condition of
Mexico.

He had stared this way and stared that
way, as if he didn't know just what to
do. Then he had turned and softly tip

from which it slanted out. For little
way he had gone very carefully. as IL
he were afraid that some one might
hear him. Pretty soon he had begun
to run as hard as ever he could, every

chasing him. All this Blacky told to

Peter nodded. There are no sharper

much more readily than the easterner,

some extent the superior vigor gener-

so in the west. In all but the largest
cities nearly every man can ride and

one trip in a year; while the natlonal
forests and the public domain are

terms
The national forests probably fur
nish the best combination of a really
wild region, and one comparatively
safe for the tourist and tenderfoot,
that can be found in this country. The
forest service realizes that the great
timber reserves are national play
grounds, and has done great deal TO
develop them for that purpose. Grad
ed trails have been built to every ac-
cessible part of most of the forests
During 1918 alone $500 miles OF iran iran
were built. These ways are kept clear
of fallen timber, dangerous streams
and gullies are bridged. and metal
signs are posted along the way telling
the distances to water and TO Sooo

tional forest, and then the adjoining
lands, which are either public domain
or privately owned. In either case he
will be more than likely to find the
timber ruthlessly cut, the forage de-
stroyed and the streams polluted by
mills or factories. The American
wilderness is almost gone, and what is
left of it is nearly inaccessible. If we
wish to preserve any of our mountain
and forest lands in their splendid nat
ural beauty as recreation grounds,
careful supervision of them is abso-
lutely necessary.
The greatest present need for the
conveniences of pleasure seekers upon
national forests, and one which is rec
ognized by the forest service, is pro-
vision which will enable any one to
take up small amount of land for the
building of a summer home. At pres

this purpose Is free use permit e
which allows ono to build a house upon

introduced, so that the summer home
