Visitors Barred From the
Union Depot This Morning

Superintendent J. N. Adams of
the Union depot has announced that
no visitors will ibe allowed inside of
the Union station this morning
when the Omaha draft boys leave
for Camp Kearney, California. All
good-byes of friends and relatives
must be said outside of the station.
Two reasons are given for this
order: First, that the crowds that
would otherwise gather there make
it almost impossible to get the
trains out on time, and, second, the
danger of spreading influenza. 49,
A detail of 100 armed soldiers will
be PLACED around the depot to en-
force the order.

Coal Ignites Itself in
Paxton Block Basement

What might have proven to be a
disastrous fire in the Paxton block
Sunday afternoon was discovered in
the nick of time when it was found
that fire had caught in the coal
which had been stored in the base
ment.
Some kindling was in the base
ment when the coal was put in, and
instead of moving it to one side,
the coal was thrown in upon it. The
coal began to heat and in time is-
nited the wood. Fortunately the
smouldering FIRE was discovered be-
fore it broke into flame and the
department had no difficulty in ex
| tinguishing it.

CHAPTER I.
Old Miser Hardest,

((n RINCESS PEGGY there's a
man down the street chat
want to thrash, and I'm not
big enough to do it alone. Will you
help me?"
This astonishing request made
Peggy sit up straight in the porch
swing where she had been browsing
over a book. Before her, his eyes
fairly blazing with indignation, stood
Billy Belgium
"Why, gracious me, you know I
can't do that" gasped Peggy. 1T
isn't ladylike to fight"
You'll not have to do any of the
real fighting. I'll lasso him with
a rope and ali you'll have to do will
be to hang on to the rope while /
thump him."
This sounded real exciting I'd Peg
gy, but she wasn't going to rush
blindly into a row unless there was
good 4eason for it.
who are you going to thrash and
what's he done?" she asked.
"He is rich old Jonathan Hard
fist who owns that beautiful country
place just outside of town, replied
Billy, doubling up his fists. I'm 60
ing to thrash him because he refuses
to help defend America by buying
Liberty bonds, He says he can
make more money using his spare
funds in his own private business"
isn't that mean of him" exclaim-
ed Peggy. 1--WE heard father say
that he owes every cent he has to
the opportunities gwen him in this
free country when he came from
abroad years ago. And now he will
not do his part in keeping the coun-
try free"
will you help me thrash him?"
again demanded Billy.
"Of course l will" replied Peggy.
"He deserves it. Are you sure he
will not buy?"
Down the garden path came iona
y than Hardest.
"He told me so himself. You
know l am selling bonds because
I'm a Belgian refugee. l told him
how the Huns robbed the Belgians,
how they wronged them, how they
killed them, And all he answered
was, We're safe enough over here
in America" As if any place in
this world would be safe if we don't
win this war"
Lets hurry exclaimed Peggy.

OPP Secretary of War says the
Allies and the Teutons are ready
for the big drive. Won Hindenburg
is expected to make the drive, to
conduct offensive fighting to hurl his
hordes upon the armies of the allied
Democracies. Won Hindenburg will
make the drive, and it will be a lost
drive. He failed at the Marine. He
failed at Verdun. He failed at
Ypres. Those were the great battles
of history, and when Hindenburg
lost them the cause of the Kaiser
went down in irrevocable or ire

Alice Brady.
WOrld)

Alice Brady was born in New
York City, November 2, 1898.
The daughter of VIM. A. Brady,
the celebrated theatrical manager,
now Director General of World Pic
lures, she naturally entered upon the
dramatic field. Here her appealing
personality, her excellent training,
her industry, and above all her
charm, were the sole influences that
lifted her to prominence in such
musical comedies as "The Balkan
Princess" and the ever youthful
"Mikado." Her success in this field
led her father to feature her IN
Little Women" which proved to be
a great success.
AT this point in her career, Miss
Brady was attracted to the motion
picture field, and soon attained a
high position her as well, through
her sterling performances in such
productions as Maternity" "The
Hungry Heart" SIN Darkest Russia"
''The Dancers Peril, "The Self
Made Widow" "Paid in FULL" and
''The Maid of Belgium" a story of
that war torn little country.
