PAULIST CONCERT
CLEARED NEAT SUM.

It has Just been given out that the
net receipts from the concert given a
week or so ago by the Paulist Choris-
ters. were $2O5. This was for the ben
eft of stricken France. for which pur-
pose the choir is singing in Southern
cities
The concert was a great success.
and it is gratifying to the local mana
gers who induced the Paulists to come
here TO have this amount to turn in.
The sum would probably have been
much larger but for the fact that so
many things were going on the same

w. A. Ellis, assistant commission
Ell of the Chamber of Commerce, is
conducting the greatest combined
correspondence school and mail or
der house in Omaha.
This business has been built up
within the last IL months. He gives
his correspondence school instruc-
ton for nothing and his mail order
goods at the same reasonable prices.
And he has no customers but SOL
dicrs and sailors.
All, now you see what it is. He
is general manager of the operations
OF the war activities committee of
the Chamber of Commerce, which
sends all kind of things to the boys
in camp, on the sea and over
there"
Every day he gets from a dozen
to three dozen post cards and let
tiers from Omaha boys, requesting
numerous things that they need and
can't get. Cigarets, safety razors.
shaving brushes, shaving soap, Cop
enhagen snuff. magazines. newspa-
pers--these are some of the things
the boys ask for.
Omaha Pays the Bill.
They are paid for out of a fund
of $4,000 raised few weeks ago
among the people of Omaha. And
never, surely, did $4,000 do more
good than that $4,000 is doing.
Mr.. Ellis sits down at his desk in
the morning and opens his mail.
Then he gets busy in the CORE
spondence department, debating a
kind. fatherly letter to each soldier
or sailor, telling how we are think
ing of him at home and wish him
good luck and all that sort of thing,
y'know. Ellis knows how to do it,
because he has a son in the army.
Then the order department gets
busy, this department also being
made up of Mr.. Ellis. And the Gig.
arets, razors, comfort kits, ETC., are
duly packed and addressed and sent
And by this time there is more mail.
Let us step into the correspond
ence school department, which is
located at the same desk as all the
rest of this gigantic concern. Here
we find Prof. Ellis writing to the
boys who have sent in requests for
books of various kinds. Some want
drill books" Others, books OF, gas
engines. Last week boy asked
for book on first aid to the in
Jured. Ellis couldn't find any. FL

him where he could get it in Chi

now.
All Sorts of Tasks.
