Richly, even SumptuOuSly furnish
ed, and the interior decoration done
along lines simple in detail and
pleasing in colors, the new Omaha
Athletic club attests that artists
have risen to the opportunity af-
forded them in the magnificent new
clubhouse; have received inspira-
ton, created furnishings and
achieved artistic results that could
never be fulfilled in a structure less
spacious or less conducive to the
craftsman's art.
To illustrate. it was an artist who
planned the wonderful Italian en-
trance-lounge, the rich red brocad-
ed fabric walls and furnishings be-
ing designed to OF, set the otherwise
cold tones of the marble entry. A
deep-piled tuftcd rug of the same
shade of red mingled with a putty
shade, which is also introduced in
the walls, and specially woven in
continuous piece, 12x60 feet, with a
smaller size for the little secluded
corner to the right of the entrance;
imposing pilastered Italian chairs
with red tapestried seats and trim
med with metal gallooned braid;
and davenports and large, easy
chairs of the red plush and embroid-
cred damask paneled backs further
carry out the color scheme. Other
odd chairs in walnut, hand-carved
Italian lamps in polychrome and
numerous flower stands give the
proper atmosphere to the attractive
entrance
All Marvelously Equipped.
Proceeding further are the clerks

and mems lounge leading into the
wonderfully equipped marble bar
Der shop. In the mems loange, all
the deep, comfortable chairs are Of
Spanish goatskin leather. A bright
colored lamp and flags of the allies
give touch of color.
To the left of the entrance are the
ladies' parlors, dainty in the extreme
and complete in appointments.

little sub-entry from the main ladies'

touches to this room.
Two oil paintings, "The Little
Acrobat by Fritz Ztgau and mid

of George Brandeis, ornament the
east and west walls.
Comfortable Reading Room.
Entering the west wing from the
lounge, one comes first to the read
ing room, the walls and rugs done
in old blue and hangings of ecru
wool easement cloth. Massive chairs
and davenports of mahogany with
o, blue seats and backs, and large
mahogany library table comprise
the furnishings. A Gobelin tapes
try panel and a large etching OF
desoated Belgium, once exhibited
in Omaha, adorn these walls.
Next is small private card
room and larger card room, equip
ped with substantial felt-covered
card tables and comfortable leath-

conveniently enough placed, S an
additional feature of the larger card
room.

The hand ball courts, of which
there are three, are perhaps the
most unique in construction of any
clubhouse or gymnasium IN the
country. Some say they are the
only ones known.
The courts have small doors, or
rather man-holes for entrances and
have a balcony on one side, IN

The swimming pool rivals the

On account of the near approach
of harvest, there has been numerous
demands made upon the Lake county
exemption board to grant an extern

July selective draft men to permit
them to work in the harvest fields.
So persistent was the demand that
the board finally sent a telegram to
the state adjutant general as follows:
Madison, S. D., July Ito Adjt.
Gen. Morris, Redfield, s.. D.: Is it
possible for you to grant an extension
of 80 or 60 days for about 80 of our

The saying, "over the top" which

War stamps, Red Cross work, etc,
have all gone lover the top" and will
continue along that line as often as

the business of the assembly this

year when ticket sales amounted to
about $4,000, while this year, with a
sales of tickets exceed $4,000. The
program of talent will amount to a
cost of about $4,000 so that the gate
receipts have already more than paid
this expense. The officials state that
with the close of the present assem-
bly, they will be able to pay all out
standing indebtedness and also for
the repairs and the improvements at
the grounds this year.
While there was a good-sized
crowd at the lake yesterday, the gate
