OF Roll to New Found Friend

Mullen, saved $4,000, but lost $50 to
new found friend.
Prouei came to Omaha yesterday
afternoon after selling his homestead
at Mullen, which he had farmed for
four years. 1t was mighty lonely on
the little farm. he said, so when he
arrived he made up his mind to make
up for all that he had sacrificed in
the way of pleasure there. In a sa-
loon on lower Douglas street he met
a man who said he knew him. The
friend took Prouel about the city and
in the evening invited himself to share
Proueps room at The Paxton.
Prouel hung his coat on the back
of chair and left the room for few
minutes. When he returned the
friend was gone. Likewise the $3.50,
but the $4,000 was safe.

GOULD DIETZ IN CHARGE

Tho greatest service anyone can
do right now for Uncle Sam is to join
the Red Cross and help the member
ship campaign said Gould Dietz,
who has returned from a trip to Chi
cago. where he went to get pointers
from headquarters about the Chicago
campaign. The campaign will be
launched the middle OF May.
Business men in Chicago are lend
ing every possible effort to make
their campaign success, and many
of the wealthy ones are giving up
their business to work for the cause
Mr.. Sprague Warner, chairman OF the
campaign and big manufacturer,
has offered to come out here and
boost ours" said Mr.. Dietz.
Confers with Hill.
Mr.. Dietz had a two hours con-
ference with II. ]. Hill, director of
the bureau of membership extension,
who is making a membership drive
with the slogan, "a Minimum Mem
bership of a Million" He is optimis-
tic enough to believe that number will
be raised within next three months,
but Omaha must get to work and do
its share said Mr.. Dietz.
Mr.. Dietz secured Mr.. Hill to man
age the Omaha campaign.
The society here is at scarcely any
expense, Just the salary OF stcnog-
rapher. and so half OF every member
ship fee goes to the. local fund, the
other half to the national.
Mr.. Dietz has eighty sustaining
memberships already, he says.
Mr.. Dietz's Office is being swamped
with propositions for benefit affairs.
However, many of them wish to get
half the money. but these are not &C
ceptcd. They must be given entirely
tor charity or not at all, said Mr..
Dietz.
Everyone in Omaha should be
wearing Red Cross button to show
their patriotism and loyalty" he said.
While in Chicago he saw Mrs. TO-
seph Cudahy. formerly Of this city,
who has class of 500 girls who are
learning home ttursing and TO make
hospital supplies.
The committee will meet the first
of the week to make definite plans and
to choose new treasurer to fill the
place of the late w. H. Bucholz.
The membership of the local So
ciety, according to statistics given out
this morning by w. G. Ure, secretary
Of Omaha chapter, indicate alone the
necessity for more money:
