If those who smoke cigars in
the United States will invest
that money in war savings
stamps, and leave off the cigar
habit, it will cause a vast sum
of money to roll into the United
States treasury daily and in
that way help win the war; not
only that, but if all who smoke
cigars would stop the practice
they would improve in health
and efficiency, and thes would
also be instrumental in releas-
ing those engaged in work at
the cigar factories, so that they
might enter industries essential
to the prosecution of the war ;
also, a vast acreage that is now
devoted to growing tobacco
would be available for growing
food and feedstuffs. This
same principal could be ap-
piled to many other things
such as snuff, chewing tobacco,
candy, chewing gum, etc.

Mr.. B. H. Kuhl of Texarkana
lectured in the Methodist
church here Sunday on the
Thrift Stamps and War Saw
ings Certificates. He made a
talk that was direct and to the
point and gave illustrations
that were convincing; he is a
graf believer in the war saving
stamps and the good this meth
cd of investment will accom-
plish in this war, as we'll as the
lesson in thrift that should be
beneficial to our people for all
time to come.
The talk made by Mr.. Kuhl
was greatly appreciated and
should bear good fruit. His
style of speaking is so simple
that all can understand and
know the points aimed at.
A large audience was present
to hear Mr.. Kuhrs address.

FUNDS FOR HOME

Increased Cost Of Living Ex.

Letters are being sent out by ]. A.
Monroe, chairman of the executive
committee of the Associated Charities,
asking Omaha business men for funds
to continue the work of this organi-
cation during the coming winter.
Hunger, cold and sickness will claim
their toll" says the letter, ITO a
greater degree than normal One rea-
SON being the high cost of food, fuel
and clothing, the actual necessities for
bodily health"
In the last year the Associated Chart
ties made 1855 visits and took care
Of 1857 families, at a cost of 1886.
Expenses the coming year are expect
ed to be greater. The work of the
charities lies largely among women
and children. The cost of food alone
has advanced about As per cent, ac-
cording to government figures.
Clothes have advanced almost as
much, and the quality is poorer.
Mrs. George w. Doane, general sec
rotary, states that the purchase of
SHOES ana stockings fOr the chlldren
alone is staggering item this year,
owing to the fact that the cheap
grades of shoes are now made of a
sort of paste that promptly rolls up
when it is wet, and shoes made of
real leather are extremely expensive.
Second hand clothing and shoes are
not being received in nearly as large

when sent in are frequently in such
poor condition that they can not be

asm of winning the war the people of
the city will not forget the helpless

Development Plan for
South Side Will Cost
! $4,000 # Completed

A development plan for Is acres in
/, the vicinity of Brown Park, South
Side, will be considered by the city
planning commission on Tuesday at
a regular meeting, and on Tuesday,
September II, interested property
owners will be given an opportunity
to hear and be heard.
The city planners have prepared a
series~of stereopticon slides which will
be shown at both meetings.
This tract is of irregular form, ex-
tending between w and N streets,
from Ninth to Thirteenth streets. 1t
is proposed to develop this land for
park and playground purposes. Most
of the property is unimproved and it
embraces two ravines, which have
unusual development possibilities, &C
cording to Superintendent Kvenild of
the planning commission.
The estimated cost of improving
this tract, according to plans, would
be nearly $4,000, which includes the
requirement of property. If the plan
goes through the cost would be
spread over an extensive assessment

Yes" Mr.. Smith spoke abstract
eddy, without enthusiasm. Plainly
Mr.. Smith was still thinking of some
thing else.
Miss Maggie asked other questions
Miss Maggie was manifestly inter-
ested--and Mr., Smith answered
them, but still without enthusiasm.
Very soon he said good night and
went to his own room.
For some days after this Mr.. Smith
did not appear at all like himself
He seemed distracted and puzzled.
Miss Maggie, who felt self-conscious
and embarrassed over her miscon-
cepton Of his attentions to Mellicent,
was more talkative than usual in her
nervous attempt to appear natural.
The fact that she often found his
eyes fixed thoughtfully upon her, and
felt them following her as she moved
about the room, did not tend to make
her more at ease, At such times she
talked faster than ever--usually, If
possible, about some member of the
Blaisdell family. Miss Maggie had
learned that Mr.. Smith was always
interested in any bit OF news about the
,Blaisdells.
It was on such an occasion that she
told him about Miss Flora and the
new house.
II don't know really what I am
going to do with her." she said: "I
