LOSES TWO F1vEs
Rev. o. Z. McCracIen Lost Two Bills
Yesterday Afternoon-Reward
For Return.

Rev. 0. e. McCracken, superintend-
emit OF Glad Tidings mission, was very
unfortunate yesterday afternoon hav-
ing lost two S. bills some place, prob
ably on the street. Rev. Mr.. McCraclSen
said today that he put the two bills, or
believed that he put them, in the watch
pocket in his trousers, but probably got
them inside his trousers and he is at a
loss to know about where he dropped
them. He offers suitable reward to
the person finding and returning them.

" OF John Craiu at Inquest

No light was shed on the myster-
ious death OF John f. Craig, hermit
expressman, found with his head mu-
tilated in vacant lot north Of the
city rock crushing plant at Eleventh
and Nicholas streets, Thursday even
ing, at the inquest held Saturday aft
ernoon. Whether he might have been
murdered, as the police believe, or met
his death in an accidental way by a
fall or the backing in of a freight

report reads that he met death by a
blow or blows on the head inflicted in
an unknown way"

lmproverS Call 1t
Small Town Politics

The West Leavenworth Improve
ment club, through R. J. Sutton, Its
chairman of the committee on parks
and boulevards, has written an open
letter to the editor of the World
Herald resenting a recent editorial In
that paper entitled Fixing HummePs
Fences" The editorial in question
intimated resolution of the improv-
ers commencing Hummels efforts in
Elmwood park carried tinge OF
"small-town politics"
The open letter reads in part:
Your accusation against the West
Leavenworth Improvement club,
summed up. in the title to YOU.
editorial, Fixing HummeIs Fences,
it is needless to say is as false and
misleading as is your theory of natu-
raj beauty. OF course, it is I'M
reasonable to expect that the COM
mon working class that lives near
Elmwood park and constitutes the
West Leavenworth Improvement
club, should comprehend, much less
appreciate, the sublime beauty of a
pile of rubbish, dead leaves and tree
trunks. Really it requires an Au-
dubonic editor of a great newspaper.
But they are too dull to understand
that there can possibly be any reason
why so illustrious paper as yours
should accuse any improvement club
Of playing petty politics, unless it be
that the editor himself is capable Of
thinking only in terms of 'small-town
Dolitics.'"

Joe Hurtig's Auto
Girls Light Up the
Big Gayety Garage

With the throttle wide open, forty.
four girls headed by Sliding Billy
Watson and Ed Lee Wroth speeded
into Omaha yesterday evening and
crashed into the Gayety theater. where
with the help of some scene Shutters
and the orchestra, they staged show
that abounded with pep and real
entertainment. 1t is one OF Joe Hur-
tig's offerings and once again proves
that when it comes to knowing what
the burlesque followers want, J. Hur-
tig is the boy.
There is comedy galore, Sliding
Billy Watson holds the stage in the
first half with a farce staged in and
around "nut-nursing" retreat. Wat
son is the official joy -peddler for over
an hour and the way he handles the
job is a delight to the audience. Then
comes Ed Wroth as Janitor Higgins.
The farce pleases the audience with
its wit, satire and clever comedy. Not
line in the skit is dull or dreary.
And, in passing, just a word OF
praise for the chorus girls, whose
lively and graceful stepping is a boon
to those who have witnessed the
slow-footed damsels OF other shows
limp to music. There is youth and
not little beauty to Hurtig's girls
and never once do they overburden
themselves with clothing. The musi-
cal score is catchy and novel. With
the help of Mabelle Morgan, Estelle
Colbert and Hazel Woodbury., the
women do more than their share in
making the show a big hit.
One of the most popular numbers
is an auto song, which won many en-
cores. Manager johnson has dedi-
Gated the theater this week to the
visiting automobile men, and many of
that fraternity enjoyed the opening
performance.

HIGH "FLUNKERS"
WARNED TO BEWARE
Principal Masters Will Send
Failure Notices to Parents
of Central Pupils.
GIVES FAIR WARNING

Suffers" among Central High
school students age iiable to have
warm sessions with parents this
week. Those who are failing or do
ing unsatisfactory work in their
studies are to be reported to parents
by the school authorities within a
few days.
Preliminary to this, Principal J, G.
Masters has sent the following cir
cular letter to parents of Central
High students:
Some day during the coming
week failure and unsatisfactory no.
tees may reach you telling of poor
work here in Central High school,
Such notices ought to be of the ut
most concern to every parent who
receives one. 1t is still early enough
in the semester that students may
bring up their work. The time for
study here in the high school is
short Each student ought to do
from two to three hours work at
home, that is, unless all grades are
high. 1t should be the most serious
concern of parents to see that their
boys and girls actually do this work.
The school is doing all it can to make
them actually get the work. 1t
should be remembered that nearly
all of the students in the high school
are successful and actually get their
work. The failure is the exception.
Unless there is the closest cooper
alton between the school and the
home these few will drag on and let
the work go until it is too late in
the semester to bring it up. In an
other month it will likely be too late.
Students should be made to bring up
the work at once.
THE great difference in people is
not in ability but in energy. applica-
ton and persistence. Education is
matter of desire. Unless the stu
dent will work hard and even long
it will be of little use. Almost every
slow student will succeed in getting
the work if he is willing to work hard
enough. The habit of getting ones
work and the habit of being success
full is worth a great deal to young
people. Parents should see that they
actually accomplish their tasks each
day. Again, it is not enough in many
to pass the subject with very low
marks. In many colleges and univer-
sites OF our land only those who
make good grades will be accepted
at all. A good many business houses
demand a certain degree of attain
ment on the part of the student.
A diploma won with good grades at
Central High school is good for en-
trance at any college or university
i'll the land which accepts diplomas
and grades as entrance passports at
all. Surely it is worth doing ones
work we'll if one is going to spend
the time here at all"
