OMAHA REACHES
$4,000 IN GREAT
RED CROSS DRIVE
Nebraska Reports Half Million
Dollars in Hand, While Many
Counties Are Giving Over
Quota.

Omaha and Nebraska are contin,
uing the liberality shown i'll former
drives for war funds in the second
Red Cross campaign. No fear is felt
by the directors but that the quota as
signed will be over subscribed.
Large cash subscriptions from
firms and individuals total more than
$50,000, one-fourth of the Omaha
quota. The campaign will be car
ried to every individual in Omaha and
as the smaller subscriptions pour in
no doubt is>expressed for the success
of the drive.
Counties in the state already are
reporting er-subscriptions, with the
drive just starting. Cash subscriptions
received at the state headquarters now
, equal one-half of the state quota Of
ST 100000 As the pledges are tabu-
lated the totals will rapidly pass the
quota assigned.
State Has Half Million Cash.
F. w. Judson. state director of the
Red Cross, at late hour said it was
impossible to give actual figures or
the amount of money pledged in the
state to the Second Red Cross drive
"We now have more than $500,000 in
actual money" said Mr.. hudson. This
does not include pledges.
'We have a large force of clerks
preparing total of the pledges and
getting in communication with cities
that have not reported. 1t is i'm.
possible to estimate the amount raised

We want you to know Jiffy-
Jell for your own sake. See how
it excels the old-style gelatine
desserts. 1t will surprise and
delight you.
Jiffy-Jell is an exquisite prod
uct, made with rare-grade gel
atine. No sugar, no fruit need
be added. Just add boiling
water. Then add the rich fruit
flavor from the vial in each
package.
The great distinction lies in
these wondrous favors, made
from fresh, ripe fruit. They are
highly concentrated, so Jiffy-
Jell desserts and salads have a
wealth of rich fruit taste. They
come sealed in bottles - one in
each package SO they keep
their strength and freshness.

got to be faced and conquered somehow
the week before Christmas. Let US face
them together.
First, there is Emma. You went to
boarding school with her, and, although
she has developed into a fearfully dull
girl, having taken job in a free library
and kept it, still you cannot forget, and
neither can she, the long nights at school
when you used to huddle together in bed
with the wind bowling outside on the
river and read by candle light and in
whispers, "Myrtle; or, The Dove in the
Eagles Nest"
Emma is a very discouraging person
to give present to- She is dull, punct-
ual and efficient She does not like
pretty clothes and hates having "useless
STUFF around her room. You can't give
her the usual travelling things, because
she never travels; you can't make her a
nghtgown case because she wears to
bed strange flannel garments which
would not fit in one She has one pas
sion, however, and it is for public lect
ures. You went to one with her once. on
her Saturday afternoon off. 1t was on
Aztec implements in their bearing on
early Indian civilization, with stereoptI
