When the first cold weather Of the

close the poultry houses quite tightly
in the belief that the fowls confined In

must be protected, but If they receive
so much protection that fresh air is
kept out of the house they will suffer
more from breathing bad air than they
would from little lower temperature.

Enough Money in Omaha
for Future Liberty Loans

Captains of the fourth Liberty
loan teams, who met Saturday night
to make final reports, ended the
meeting with discussion of plans
for the fifth Liberty loan drive.
Nothing has yet come from Wash
ington regarding the fifth loan. but
the country's need of $l0000,000,,-
900, between January and July of
1919 makes it certain that the drive
will be inaugurated as soon as'prac-
ticable after the New Year.
The reports of the OBTAINS Satur-
day night show that for the first
four loans none of Omaha's corpor-
ate capital has yet been touched. It
was announced that if necessary
Omaha could yet raise $l8,000,000
without resorting to the corporate
capital.

Scores Of Teachers
Resign Their Places
To Work for Uncle Sam

Teachers in the Omaha schools
are resigning faster than theii
places can be filled, it was stated a,
the meeting of the Board of Educa.
ton last night. In the few weeks
since the present term started more
than Is have resigned. Several ad.
ditional designations and leaves Of
absence were acted upon by the
board last night. Most of the teach.
ers are taking war jobs, which pay
bigger salaries than teaching.
The board decided to "cut out
the handbook, a pocket volume con.
tanning information about the
schools, teachers names, etc. Print.
ing this would cost more than $500
and, as the list of teachers is chang.
ing rapidly all the time, the hand.
book, it is believed, would be Of
little value anyway.
One member brought UP the sub.
ject of when the boards meeting
room would be repaired. For sov.
eral years the plaster has beer
hanging from the walls, the root
leaks and the wall paint has curled
up under the influence of weather
and temperature. The room looks
like the third act scene in East
Lynne" The board, however
laughed the subject down last night
and decided that the room is good
enough as it is. Thus do these mer
suffer uncomplainingly in the cause
of education,
