Laundries Join
High Cost Parade

Back to the paper collars and the
hickory shirts!
Beginning October 9, Omaha laun.
dries will raise all bills 10 per cent
Instead Of establishing a new scale
OF prices for different articles, 10 per
cent will be added to each slip to
cover the increased cost OF laundry
expenses.
The Omaha Laundry Owners club
announces this increase in an adver-
tisement which sets forth statements
that soap, machinery and other fea-
lures Of laundry operation have ad-
vanced in price, reducing the margin
of profits down to a mere shadow.
A consoling feature of the situation
is that the new prices will not be ef.
fective until after Ak-Sar-Ben season
shall have been concluded. Many OF
the village lcut-ups have sent their
white shirts to the laundry, anticipat-
ing attendance at the grand bali.
Paper collars, 1t is stated, may re-
turn to their own again.

name of Mr.. Finney's new fun parade
offered for the delectation of Ak-Sar-
Ben visitors. The Boston Bur-
lcsquers," as this aggregation is
known, has a bevy Of likely-looking
maidens, repertoire of catchy mu-
sical numbers, lot of fun of the right
sort, and altogether the entertainment
fits in aeceptably with the fall festiv-
ities.
Mr.. Finney is funny, but not fastid-
ious. As Tim Sweeney, the street
sweeper, he makes the most of a
series of amusing situations. George
S. Banks as messenger boy, is an
other funmaker who ranks above the
commonplace. In other leading roles
are Murray Bernard, J. P. Griffith,
Ida Emerson, Emma Harris, Sam Lee,
AL Shaw, Mae Holden, Florence Mills,
Arthur Kelley and Eddie Brennan.
An operate uproar and a Shakes
pearean shakeup are two clever

New Gymnasium
In Part Club Room

The Pan-Alumni society Of Creigh-
ton university will raise $2s,000 to de-
fray in part the cost Of the new gym
nasium at Twenty-fifth and California
streets. This was decided upon at a
meeting attended by more than 100
Of the alumni in the new building last
night. Immediate subscriptions OF
$2,S00 were rendered.
Rev. F. X. McMenamy, president Of
the university, emphasized the club
room as we'll as the athletic features
Of the gymnasium. He predicted that
it would unite more closely the former
graduates to their old associations and
also bind together the students of the
various departments.
Among others who spoke at the
meeting were:

as he is very fond of Bismarck, that
is Bismarck herring. Prince Nap often
dimes on a portion of Bismarck her
ring, German-fried potatoes, sauer-
kraut and noodle soup. They can
fight all over Europe, but they can't
drive the German from my table"
said Nap, as he folded his arms in
the style of "Bonaparte crossing the
Alps" and thus violated his oath Of
allegiance. Prince Napoleon is two
feet high, and so is his appetite.

Her middle name should be Elgin,"
muttered father, beneath his breath.
So, far into the evening, these little
bits of persiflage were pervaded by
the minions of King Ak.
Some were funny and some sad.
some were brilliant and some were
bad, but most of them were full of
glee, as all should be at a jubilee.

LITTLE WILLIE HAS
TIME OF HIS LIFE
Invades Jubilee Grounds With
Half q Dollar and Samples
Everything in Sight.
EVERYBODY HAS GOOD TIME

willie, if you eat another peanut,
I'll take you straight homer
Thus spoke a mother to her child,
whom she took Saturday to the
Ak-Sar-Ben jubilee grounds. Soon
Willie disappeared for few moments
and by the time mother and child met
again he was surrounding one Of those
brown emulsions known as a "ham-
burger" He was once more threat
ened with home.
Into the maze Willie wandered.
When parent and offspring again
came together he was mangling a
"weinie" poultice, link by link. "If
you eat another weinie, Willie, we will
start for home immediately" said
mother, even more firmly.
This performance continued we'll
into the evening, Willie disappearing
at regular intervals and appearing in
the same manner with irregular
viands. When last discovered he was
faring on light repast of cracker
jack and bottle Of red pop, interpo-
lated with large, adher snt and sue
culent mass of looking taffy.
Would Startle Fletcher.
If old man Fletcher had passed
Willie's ruddy and beaming counten-
ance and chsnced to behold the con-
crete form in which he was slowing
away nourishment it would surely
have opened his Fletcher-ize.
There are no rules of modern or
gastronomic warfare governing what
"a little child" with a half dollar can
do in the way Of carbohydrates.
I'VE are going home. right now,"
decided mother with visions OF early
morning paregorical hours.
"All right, Ma" agreed Willie, as he
mangled the last remaining link be-
tween his molars and washed it down
with a gulp OF the red dye. "They
amt got anything good to eat, any.
way, an I'm hungry"
As they passed the tent of the fat
girl she partook of glass of butter
milk and Graham wafer. However
she discarded half the wafer, and
exclaimed to an attendant, 81 mustn't
eat so much, these heavy meals will
start my indigestion again"
Weight Not Necessary.
So, you see, while Willie didn't
have the tonnage, he was nevertheless
a much better engine of destruction,
and the best physical exhibit of the
two.
81 got a three-1egged STOOL" said
Dorothy, aged 5 years, to May-Joe,
the three-limbed artist. Following
this remark May-Joe welcomed Doro-
thy into the lodge, and clasped her
hand in the secret grip.
The human fish with, cannibal
ferocity was tearing 'sardines limb

what is going to be done with all the
money collected supposedly for the

I overheard a conversation be-

and one of the soldiers wives. From
what I heard l would imagine that
this money is not to be used the way
it was supposed; that the help given
will only be for the present month
that they have not enough money to
support them until such a time as
the men come home, but the women
must find work to support them
selves. What kind Of help is that if
they are only doing it now for the
present and next month or so go
out and work? Why give it at all,
for they can work this month as
well as next month?
If they gave the families help all

CHRISTIANITY AND WAR.-So
Dean Smaller Mathews can reconcile
Mexican Intervention with Christian
beliefs and teachings? What a COM
mOnplace achievement! Indeed, the
surprise would rather be if he could
not do it.
Away back in the early centuries
probably some years B. ca certain
Jewish rabbi boosted that he could
give $50 reasons why a rat is, or
ought to be, a clean animal, in spite
Of the explicit statement in the bible
that a rodent is Unclean.
Now, in the face of such a herCU-
lean achievement, reconciliation of
armed Intervention with Christian
mercy is mere child's play. Such a
learned doctor of divinity ought to
know enough holy writ to Justify
the total extinction Of such a rebel
IiOus nation as are the Mexicans.
History is not lacking in examples
of such grand harmOnies between
Christian beliefs and fratricide. Slav-
cry and the burning of witches were
part and parcel Of Christian teach
ings. They are even now. While
across the pond Christian teachings
are reconciled with Zeppelin bombs
and Lusitania feats-with a burning
desire to starve millions Of helpless
and innocent women and children
with bayonet charges, with rape,
murder and plumber, with crimes for
which Cain would have blushed with
shame.
