The Bees Fund for
Free Milk and Ice

Although not asking for individual
contributions to our fund for free
milk and ice of more than $500, we
are today making two exceptions, for
donation Of $1,000 to be supplied in
milk by the Atlantic dairy and an
other of $50 from H. ]. Abrahams,
who, although he had already con-
tributed, writes a special letter ex-
pressing his feeling that the total is
not sufficient.
AS the hot weather will no doubt
continue for some time" he says,
the suffering of the children will
be great if relief is not Forthcoming
promptly, and l therefore trust that
you will accept my additional con-
tribution of $40, and hope your ap-
peal will not 60 unnoticed by those
both able and willing to help"
This is fine. And it is fine, too, to
see the smaller individual contribu-
tons coming in. Some bring them to
The Bee Office; some mail them.
And surely, in the great scheme Of
things, they get their reward, not in
dollars and cents, but in something
more valuable.
The terrific heat is very hard on
many babies and little children of the
poor in Omaha.
But, thanks to The Bees fund con-
tributors,. the nurses are providing
pure, cool milk and ice wherever thew
are needed by the deserving poor.

Crops Good and Labor
Scarce at Hastings

The half million dollars which
Hastings is spending for eleven miles
of new asphalt paving this year is
the largest single contract let in the
United States this season, according
to o. c. Zenn, president of the Hast
ings city council, who attended the
Speedway races Saturday. The new
work more than doubles the amount
of paving in Hastings, he said.
THE contractor has been having
trouble in getting labor since the
harvest commenced" Mr.. Zenn
stated. "The farmers have been offer
ing from S. to 81 day for harvest
hands, and many of the men working
on the paving have gone into the
fields.
The harvest is almost completed.
We had very good crop O. wheat
in the neighborhood of Hastings, and
the corn is doing nicely. The wheat
is yielding from twenty-four % thirty
bushels an acre, with an occasional
small field as high as thirty-fve
bushels"

Husband Sues Estate For $15,oo0-
Will Also Claim Widows Share Of
Property-Action in Polk County.

Des Moines, Aug. 17.-One Of the
most unusual law suits on record in
Polk county, one arising from the dou-
BILE tragedy on the Parmenter farm,
ten miles north Of the city, when sabe
Parmenter, wealthy farmer, Is alleged
to have murdered his wife and then
killed himself, was begun yesterday

for $4,000 damages for the murder of
Mrs. Parmenter.

who was shot to death on the night OF
July %, 1916, while she lay sleeping on
the floor In front of the parlor door
Of the farm home.

F. Parmenter, administrator of the
estate of Sabe Parmenter, son Of the
dead farmer by his first wife.

the woman, who, it is claimed, met
her death at the hand of her husband.

ternoon that another suit. would be be-
gun in the near: future wherein SJ6hn
Banks will askEEthat thes&courts turn
over to him one-third of the Parmenter
property on the theory that Mrs. Par
menter died after her husband had ex-
pired. 80
