ERECTING BUILDINGS

North American Hotel Com
pany lnaugurates Campaign
in Nebraska and Ad-
joining States.

The North American Hotel COM
pany, the hotel building, owning and
operating corporation whose general
offices are located in Omaha, has an
nounced its semi-annual dividend of
per cent for the six months ending
June so.
This corporation. financed largely
by Nebraska, Iowa and Kansas peo-
pie, and whose management reposes
in the hands Of a group of middle
western business men, has made prog
ress during the past year in the work
of establishing a chain of up-to-date
hotel properties. The majority of
these properties is to be located in
strategically located cities and towns
in Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota,
Kansas and Missouri.
Besides properties this company
now has in operation, it has under
construction a l70-room hotel in
Grand Island, a 120-room hotel in
Kearney, an eighty-room hotel in
Scottsbluff, Neb., and a sxty-room
hotel at Hampton, Ia, all of which it
expects to have in operation shortly
after the first of next year.
Other Buildings Planned.
Other buildings now being planned,
which the company's construction
contractors soon expect to have under
way are those in Sioux City, Ia, and
Norfolk, and Ogallala, Neb., and at
several points in Iowa and Kansas.
Officials of the North American
Hotel company are great believers in
the middle west and in spite of war
and other unusual conditions they
have gone ahead with the work of es-
tablishing hotel buildings at vantage
points "for the reason" as promi-
nent official of the company states,
that the middle west is being forced
to go ahead commercially and indus
triously because OF its capacity to
produce an enormous quantity OF
foodstuffs and other raw materials
which world must have to live"
According to this same official, "a
great deal of building and expansion
is inevitable in middle west cities and
towns, because buildings are essential

Among the middle VESTS greatest
needs at the present time are modern

and scores of requests which are com.
ing to US from commercial clubs, and
other organizations and individuals,
that their cities and towns be included
as sites for buildings and service.

we can to supply this need, feeling

he left his car and dodging up stair
way, joined them Helen, however, did
not lose him.
Once inside, Burke showed his con-
federates the wreck clipping. While
they were making merry, Helen stole
up TO their door. But within the room
an indicator on the wall began to vi
brate. Burke saw it and signaling to
his confederates to continue talking,
so listener would not take alarm, he
armed himself with a blackjack
Helen's weight as she stood on mat
outside the door had completed hid
den electric circuit which operated the
indicator. Burke opened the door sud-
denly to strike down anyone there,
Not soul was in sight; he looked up
and down the hall. The listener was
gone.
But Marshall, craftiest of the raid
ers, was not deceived: "l'll get who
ever it is," he muttered, and taking
gun walked through two connecting
rooms and stepped suddenly into the
hail. his gun poised to shoot.
He had calculated too well. Helen,
following an instinct of alarm-which
she could not have explained, as she
stood outside the door of the Raiders
room listening to their mutterings--
slipped down the hall and stood near
a door in hiding. But Marshall had
come into the hall behind her and
with murder in his heart, drew the
gun on her and was about to pull the
trigger when Helen saw his reflection
in the porcelain doorknob at her
hand. He fired. She dropped to the
floor, and thinking her wounded,
Marshall lowered his gun to make his
escape. But Helen had dropped too
quickly for his bullet, and springing
to her feet, she caught up rug. Be-
fore Marshall could fire again, she had
beaten him vigorously over the head
with her improvised weapon, and it
served her well.
Blinded by the dust that filled his
eyes, and taken completely off his
guard, Marshall shook himself free.
But before he could cover her and fire
again, Helen, dashing down the stairs
got out of the budding.
Within the room the gang, waiting
in suspense, heard Marshalls shot
and ran out to see what had happened.
They found Marshall profanely gasp
ing for breath and his plight was so
ridiculous that Masters burst into a
roar of laughter. Marshall was in no
mood to be laughed at. Hot words
passed between the two thieves, and,
without hesitation, Marshall, a power
full man, knocked the old confidence
man down.
As he did 50, and in his wrath was
about to do more, the shrill sound of
a police whistle rang through the cor
ridor from the street below. The other
gangsters realized that this was no
time to carry on any personal warfare
among themselves. Satisfied that it
was Helen signaling for an officer,
they ran again to their rooms and,
jumping through an upstairs window,
started across the adjoining roofs. In
the street an officer was hurrying to
Helen, While she was explaining
three other policemen joined them,
and, with Helen leading, ran pell-
nell up the stairs to capture the
Raiders.

UNITED STATES NOW
THE TREASURE HOUSE
Money Flowing In from ALI
Sources and Financial In
situations of Omaha Are
Well Supplied.

One reason why the banks OF
Omaha have on deposit $39,000,000
more than they had last year is that
they receive the surplus money of
banks in Nebraska and adjoining
states. The total assets of Omaha
loan and building associations are
$34,000000.
As a result of the high prices re-
ceived by farmers for their products
for the last ten years, and particularly
since war in Europe was declared, the
people of this region have accumu-
lated vast amount of money. The
war has made terrific drain upon
the nations of Europe. which were
burdened with colossal debts before
the, war broke out,
On the other hand, the United
States has profted largely by reason
of the war-quitte enough, it is esti-
mated, to meet the probable expense
of the nations participation, which
began in April of this year. The di-
rector OF the United States mint re-
ports a greater accumulation of gold
about $780,000,0 0,000-than was ever
known before anywhere in the world.
Some Records Broken,
The Department of Commerce re-
ports total exports for May $5Sl ,0O0,-
900, and for twelve months ending
with May, $6,183,0O0,000. The nation
is selling more goods abroad than
ever before and will continue to do
so in years to come. The proceeds of
the sale of $2,000000,000 of Liberty
bonds will, for the most part, remain
in America to the credit of he allied
naions, whose treasurers will draw
upon the credits to pay for supplies
and munitions produced in this coun-
try and purchased by them.
Before the war in Europe the esti-
mated national wealth Of the United
States was about $lS8,000,000,000
while the national debt was 81 100000,
900. In the last two or three years
the total wealth has been largely in
creased. These figures give an idea Of
the unlimited financial wealth Of this
nation.
The government will encounter no
difficulty whatever in raising all the
money necessary to prosecute the
war by means OF taxation Of property
and the sale of bonds. No other
means of raising money will ever be
resorted to, it is thought.
Debt of Germany.
The estimated debt of Germany is
nearly $l8,000000,000, or $246 per
capita. The enormous expense OF the
war is increasing this daily.
Before the war Germany's national
debt was nearly $S,000,000,000. The
national debts of both Great Britain
and France are in excess of $l8,000,-
100000 each but their resources are
so vast that the people have not
seriously felt the burden. But con-
ditions in Europe are so widely diff
ferent from those of America that no
comparisons can be made.
In all the history of nations none
has ever amassed the colossal wealth
that America possesses. In one sense
the expense OF the war will scarcely
be 4elt.
The building and loan associations
OF Nebraska, with assets of many mil
lions, are protected by federal and
state laws, affording legal safeguards
more stringent than those provided to

War Drama at the Strand

In the most gripping and thrilling
photodrama, in which she has ever ap,
peared, Mary Pickford will be seen at
the Strand theater Tuesday and for
the balance OF the week ii her new
est Aircraft picture, "The Little
American" A vital story by Cecil B,
De Mile and Jeanie Macpherson and
produced under the personal direction

ticularly timely subject OF patriotic
theme.
Since her appearance at the head
Of her own company for the Aircraft
Pictures Corporation, Miss Pickford
has appeared in several strong, dra-
matte photoplsys. However, in "Thc
Little American" she is given
story which, lvr thrilling situations
and great appeal, outdoes anything
the famous little star has ever ap-
peared in.
The story deals with the present
great war md offers various surprises
that when seen on the screen, will
disclose remarkable effects. As the
little American girl maroonej in a
French chateau while the battle
surgcs around her, Little Mary" is
given an opportunity to display the
wonderful dramatic ability with
which she is gifted. Although the
story deals with the war, it Is not
of the same type as the ordinary war
drama, as it deals more with the in
innate than with the general. In
keeping with the talents of the star
an exceptionally capable supporting
cast appears in this production, in
cluding such well known players as
Hobart Bosworth, Jack Holt, James
Neill, RAYMOND Hatton, Guy Oliver.
Edythe Chapman, Lillian Leighton,
Walter Long, Dewitt Jennings and
little Ben Alexander.
