explanations.
There were numerous instances
of this at Seventeenth and Farnam
Monday when people who had been
accustomed to take uptown bound
cars at that point saw the cars
speed by without even hesitating.
Patrons must remember also that
cars which stop at certain corner
going in one direction stop at the
next block when going in the op-
posite direction. Thus while out
bound cars do not stop at Seven
teenth and Farnam those bound
downtown do stop there.
This arrangement is made so that
patrons who are accustomed to TAX
ing cars at certain corners will have
only one block to walk on each
round trip.
All car stops are marked by the
yellow and black signs bearing the
legend: Carstop.
Look for the signs.

moonbeams coming through the
trees revealed patches of fantastic
beauty in the swamp, but it was
beauty which Peggy was in no
mood to enjoy. She was too anxious
about what was going to happen.
Again came that weird, uncanny
cry-the call of the Witch of the
Night, sounding loudly above the
muttering thunder. Night Heron
shivered and flew forward faster
than ever Soon he came to an
island in the swamp, upon which he
alighted.
Once more came the strange cry.
Night Heron dropped Peggy to the
ground and hurried away into
tangle of trees, vines and brushes.
"My, the Witch is in an awful
temper tonight" Peggy heard him
mutter.
His evident fear didn't add a bit
to Peggy's courage. This Witch of
the Night must be a frightful crea-
ture to make her own folks so much
afraid.
Peggy looked about, seeking 4
possible way of escape. The edge
OF the island was bordered by
seanmy water, through which she
couldn't even swim. The tangle in
to which Night Heron had disap-
peared seemed so wild and scary
that she wouldn't dare venture into
it. There might be all sorts of
Gravity, creepy things hiding in the
gloom. 1t took but a moment tor
Peggy to realize that she was
helpless prisoner.
"KerchugI" came a sound from
near by. Peggy jumped nervously
and looked around.
"Kerchug" came the sound again,
almost at her feet. Peggy glanced
down. Out of the scummy water
bright eye was blinking at her-just
the eye. that was all. Peggy drew
away, and promptly the head of a
large Bullfrog popped out OF the
scum.
you're a queer kind of a Frog"
said Bullfrog to her in croaky
kind Of whisper.
"I'm not Frog, I'm little girl
answered Peggy Indignantly.
"Humph. l should say you were
very very little girl" answered
Bullfrog," still whispering. But it's
too bad you're not Frog"
Il wouldn't want to be Frog
and live, in that horrible, Shiny
water" replied Peggy, piqued at his
suggestion.
"I'd rather be a Frog, living safe
ly here in this Shiny water, than a
little girl up there on land in the
cluthches of the Witch Of the Night,
without much chance Of living at
ALL" answered the Frog. whats
your name, so l can send word to
your friends telling 'em what hap
pened to you"
Before Peggy could gather her
wits together to answer this omin-
Gus question, there came stir in
the reeds and and bushes.
"The Witch of the Night" CUR.
gled Bullfrog. Good night, girlieP
And he vanished from sight in the
scum.
Peggy looked up. The reeds and
bushes had been pulled back like
curtain, revealing gloomy den.
In the center of the den flickered a
ghostly blue fame. By its pale light,
Peggy made out a fantastic crea-
ture squatting on heap of sticks
and matted plants. The creature
was sullenly glowering at her. This
was the Witch of the Night.

UNCONDITIONAL
SURRENDER PLEA
OF BOND BUYERS
Brown County's Demand After
Going Over Top in Loan is
Echoed by Officials
in Omaha.

Brown county has gone over, but
we want unconditional surrender"
This telegram was received Mon
day morning from R. S. Rising |of
Ainsworth, Neb.. Liberty loan drive
chairman for Brown county.
There's the right motto for the
people of Omaha" said Samuel
Burns. head of the mems selling
committee I'VE all want the I'M
conditional surrender of Germany.
But we must not relax our efforts
If we wantto get it. Now of all times
is the time to strike harder. The
triumph of this, the biggest OF all
war loans, will show Germany that
our demands must be met. If we fail
to put over this loan Germany may
get the idea that we are weakening.
Let everybody who has or expects to
have money within the next three
months sign up for more bonds"
Omaha Still Behind.
Omaha is still nearly 100000
short of its quota. Such a slackness
did not exist during the previous
three loan drives. With money as
plentifufas it is, officials can't I'M
derstand why more of it hasn't been
subscribed 10 the Fourth Liberty
loan. the best investment on earth.
The teams are at work cleaning
up" this week and trying to get
some of those who have not taken
all they should, to take more. 1t is
hoped that Mr.. and Mrs. Average
Citizen will go to the bank or to one
of the -"outposts" and sign up for
more. Every little $50 or 500 bond
helps.
Just how the state stands is not
known. These IA counties have re-
ported to the local branch of the
Federal Reserve bank that they
have raised their respective quotas:
Polk, Hayes. Otoe, Burt, Box
Butte, Cheyenne, Holt, Phelps,
Stanton, Butler, Cherry, Brown.
Grant.
Counties Report to X. c.
However, it is believed that many
other counties have also gone over
the top. This year they are re-
CURED to report direct to the FEEDER
al Reserve bank headquarters of the
Tenth district in Kansas City, and
need not report to the branch of
that bank in Omaha unless they
want to.
Total amount of the Fourth Liber-
ty loan bonds taken by the officers
and employees of some large Oma-
ha concerns have been compiled as
follows: Union Pacific, 390,lO0;i
Nebraska Telephone company, $74,-
100; Missouri Pacific railroad, $43,-
POO; American Express company,
SIS, 500; Western Union Telegraph
'$23,400; Burgess-Nash.
Sl4, 200; Pullman company, $3.50.
Up to Monday morning subscrip-
lions of Union Pacific officials and
employees to the fourth Liberty loan
amounted to $2.278,350. 1t is ex-
oected that the $2,500,000 mark will
be passed before the end of the
week.
