Gill dwelling of an early period, and
the commodious brick residence with
the surrounding land of about 125
acres is desirable piece of suburban

as being worth as much as 5000 pei
acre, as it fronts on the street and
could be made available as fine
building lots.
Garrard farmers have rushed ur
their threshing business in order that
they might turn their attention to
their tobacco and corn crops, many
of them having already delivered
their wheat to the local grain deal
ers. Some sold Immediately at the
thresher, and consequently previous
to the rise in the price of the bread
cereal, Messrs. Ed and N. B. Price
having brought in to the Garrard
Milling Company a 35O-bushel con-
signment for which they were paid
81 per bushel; some later deals were
the sale of 500 bushels by Walter
Davidson who received $1.05 per
bushel, 700 bushels delivered by T.
c. Rankin and D. Rankin at Sill

Mr.. Holcomb of the Bryantsville Sec

faced to a perfect smoothness, and new
skates have been purchased. The beauti-
full and spacious dance hall has been re-
decorated, and the fine floor, for which
this hall has been noted, has been made
still better. A fifteen-piece orchestra will
furnish the music for those who indulge
in the terpsichorean pastime. Orchestral
concerts will be given every afternoon
and evening.
The catering concession will be under
efficient management. "Tastiness, Clean
illness and Popular Prices Always" will be
the motto.
For picnic parties Manawa offers ideal
facilities. Shady Grove, as the name in
dictates, abounds with beautiful shade
trees, and on these grounds parties may
have the free use of stoves for making
coffee, etc. Among the big picnic parties
already booked for the season 10 the Lar
kin picnic, to be held the latter part of
June. AT this outing all local Larkin club
members will be the guests of the Larkin
company, the Larkin company presenting
each member with number of tickets en-
titling the holders to ride on the various
devices, to dance and to battle. These
picnics have been wonderful successes in
other cities. and big time is predicted
on the proposed Larkin Day at Manawa
Unfortunately for picnic parties, 1t some
times rains during a picnic. This con-
tingency has not been overlooked at Man
ava, provisions having been made to take
care of large crowds under roof. The en-
tire east half of the large pavilion is full
of new combination tables and benches,

the combination making it certain that
table and bench will always be together.
Here, during inclement weather, parties
may picnic with perfect comfort.
Undoubtedly the best feature OF Man
ava is the fine body of water, ON the
shore of which the park is situated. With
fine stage of water in the lake this sea-
son it will be popular place for persons
fond of water sports. Possibly it's little
early or too cool yet to mention bathing,
but the bathing season will soon open up,
and ii is needless to say that better bath
ing beach than Manhattan Beach cannot
be found in this section of the country.
The Manawa fleet consists of half dozen
roomy launches and one hundred steel
row boats, all thoroughly overhauled and
repainted.
The beauty of the park grounds has not
been forgotten. A number of large flower
gardens have been laid out and several
hundred dollars have been spent for flow
ers along the walks. Five hundred Ameri-
can Beauty rose bushes alone have been
set out. The walks have been resurfaced
with white Clipped stone.
The management desires to state TO the
public that the policy of the park will be
Service and courtesy" and if anyone con-
nected with the park falls short in this re-
spect it will be appreciated if the com
plant is made direct to the manager
Admission to the park will be free, as
usual. Round trip street car tickets from
Omaha are sold at downtown drug
stores and cigar stores-Adults Is cents,

The park this season will be under the
management of MIR. Carl H. Edwards. Mr..
Edwards is an experienced park man, hay-
ing operated for several years past parks
around Scranton, Pa.
No expense has been spared to put the
park this season in the best of condition.
More than SEE, 900 has been expended for
new attractions, decorations and general
MISUNDERSTANDING is better than
ever before. A concession building has
been constructed, which will house num-

has been remodeled and strengthened
Ii is now known as dip the Dips" The
dips have been made deeper than they
were formerly, adding more thrill to the
ride; but this has been done without any
sacrifice of the element of safety. A new
and up-to-date merry-go-round has been
installed; the many-colored dashing
horses, lions and other animals on this
ride will give the children who ride on
their backs lot of merriment as they go
round and round. The miniature steam
railroad has been put in first-class condi-
ton, and, with its new coat of bright paint
resembles a gay circus train. Here both
young and old may enjoy ride. New
bowling alleys have been installed, so
those who are fond of this popular game
may indulge therein at Manawa. A shoot

ready for someone to be the first to ring
the bell. Roller skating promises to be
popular at Manawa this season; the floor

 900 New Wealth CONGRESS CAN AID
 IN FURTHER WORK New Railroad Will Cause Peninsula to Yield Much More Rapidly
 Than It Is Now T Possible
By HOLLAND

New York, January 2S-(Special.) ) Charles E. Shepard, who ranks with the leaders of the bar upon the Pacific slope, has the interest of an American citizen and the welfare of the country exclusively ir mind in the agitation he has under taken so to impress Congress with the need of help for Alaska that heed will be taken of this demand. MT. Shepard S interest in this subject reflects, from one point of view, his address before the American Bar association recently re- printed by that body, the subject of which was the education of the lawyer in re- lation to public service. There is no pub- lib service, of a material kind at least, which is not reflected in national assis- tance given to the development of Alaska.
 Some days ago, Julius Kruttschnitt, in speaking of Alaska's development, re- ferred to the very great increase in pop ulation and in commerce at the seaports of Oregon which has been in great meas ure occasioned by the marvellous, almost mystic, growth of what in 1867 was the practically unknown peninsula called Russian America. MT. Kruttschnitt spoke as railroad man, having had abundant opportunities to observe the growth of railway business and of the seaports of Oregon In his view the increase of the population in Seattle in great measure reflects Alaskan commerce.
 The help which Alaska needs now is in line with the assistance recently given by the government in the form of railway construction. Already, as result of this railroad building, expert prospecting into the almost unknown interior of Alaska has been undertaken. The belief of the

Belli9erents Are Asked to
 Agree On Submarine War

Washington, January 8.-A suggestion scribe to declaration of principles gov erning attacks on merchant vessels and forbidding the arming of such vessels has been made by the United States in an effort to establish in international law general policy disposing of many of the vexatious problems arising from the development of submarine warfare.
 Identical notes have gone forward ask ing the belligerent countries to say whether they are willing to join in such an agreement. The declaration of prin- ciples would provide
 That noncombatants may expect pro- tection under the rules of international law and the principles of humanity when travelling on merchant ships; that warn ing must be give before a merchant man is attacked that belligerent owned merchant ships must obey warnings to stop; that merchantmen shall not be fired on except in cases of resistance or fight; that no merchantmen shall be sunk except where it Is impossible to supply prize crew or until passengers anG crew are placed in safety; that merchantmen shall not be permitted to mount arms
 Favorable response from the belliger- erts would be looked on as clinching the principles of submarine warfare for which the United States has contended through it's extended negotiations with Germany and Austria, and at the same time disposing of troublesome ques- tion recently accentuated by the arrival at New York of three armed Italian mer-

I ter to the Greene, doing for the babies, | the nursery and the kindergarten what the Creche is doing for the larger girls and the dormitory.
 They intend to beautify the nursery, adding attractive curtains pretty pie lures, and lots of toys and things that babies need and don't realize they want. They intend to add a better equipment to the kindergarten, help with the sew ing, have a purchasing and visiting committee, an amusement committee and the regulation officers. These are Mrs. George Reynolds, president; Mrs. $. P Cummings vice president; Miss Eliza beth Going, secretary; Mrs. T. A. Murphree, treasurer. Meetings will be held once a month with the president and every third month at the home.
 But the auxiliary baby is not yet called by a name, and it is now appeal ing through the papers and this de- partment for name. Please submit the name to the president, Mrs. George Reynolds, Richmond apartments, High land avenue, and send as many names as you and your friends can.
 A letter has been written to Miss Julia Lathrop, superintendent chill dren's bureau. Washington, D. C., to ask her to submit name too This will not be used, however, if better one is found at home.
 And when the name is found, the young women that combine to make the association may have a real christ ening and make that person the god mother or the godfather whichever the lucky one may be. For men have been known to make really valuable sugges- tions at times, even to naming children so that the appellati tion was not tucked on as a misfit all the rest of their lives.
 Send in your name or list of names as soon as you think about it. The ques- tion must be settled soon
 These are a few names not to sug- gest: Cheche is one, as that is already used by the big sister. Big sisters have way of getting the best o4 the names If there was ever a really at tractive, nice name in the family the big sister was sure to get it. It can't be called Young Married Women's as sociation, for all the girls are not married, and nobody must be left out in the name.

DEVELOPMENT AND COMMERCE

Some of the great constructive minds in the business world have already taken heed of the opportunities in Alaska, but those who have talked with them know that they feel that what they have done after Alaska has been well developed will be comparatively tr,Tlng when the yearly output of new wealth gained upon the peninsula and it's adjacent waters is reckoned with.
 Few persons in the east realize how great Alaskan commerce was in 1914. The money value of it was $63 675, 600, round numbers. There was trade the money value of which was $5,O0,O0O in excess of our trade with China in that year, and 1t was approximately one-fifth of the money value of our total trade with South America in that year And the in fluence of it was felt all over the coun- try.
 Those who have studied the situation are persuaded that if Congress encour- ages development in Alaska and modifies the oppressive laws that have stood con sderably in the way of development, there is good reason to believe that with
