Teacher Wins Scholarship in
War Course for Work in Italy

To few women comes such an
opportunity for patriotic service
as was offered Miss Grace Crosby,
who left Omaha Thursday to take
a course in Carnegie institute which
will lead to her crossing the water
for reconstruction work in Italy.
Miss Crosby is a graduate of the
Teachers College of Greeley, Colo,
and was engaged as a teacher in
the Howard Kennedy school this
year. She has made a specially
of psychology and through prof.
cheney in this branch, won scholar
ship at the Carnegie Institute of
Technology.
DR.. Clara Harrison Towne, in
structor in the University of Penn
sylvania, is a friend of Miss Crosby.
DR.. Towne left last June for Italy
and has been urging Miss Crosby
to complete her work and come
over" to assist her.
Having accepted the position in
the Omaha schools, Miss Crosby
felt she could not honorably leave
before the end of the year. Twice
she refused the offer without tell
ing her friends about it. The third
time, she spoke to Superintendent
Beverage, who told her she was
making too great a sacrifice in CIV
ing up the work offered her and
who freed her from her contract
Miss Crosby is very happy in her
freedom to continue the work she

ket sell at DC per bunch and nice
crisp wax beans and caulif1ower at
l2Iac per pound.
Then come the relishes, such as
Honey dew melons at prices ranging
from 25c up and California grapes at
l5c per pound.
Among the apples shown on the
market are some fine Colorado JON
athans and Ganos at 75c per peck;
California Beethoven at $2.85 and
Yakima Valley Jonathans at $3.50
per box.
Dried fruits of all kinds are selling
strong, prices having already gone
up from l0c to 25c with prospects
OF a still further advance in the near
future.
Butter and eggs are quoted at
about the same price as last week;
best butter bringing &c and guar
anteed fresh eggs SAC per dozen.
Number one eggs are little
cheaper and are selling at 49c per
dozen while number IS sell at Acc.
Best Wisconsin cheese is quoted at
SIC, New York 38c and brick cheese
at 40c.
When it comes to meats, the mar
ket is about the same for all kinds
of beef and mutton, but pork is
down about 7c per pound.
Those who are in touch with the
markets in general state that just
at present everything is at stand
still due, no doubt, to the uncertain
conditions of the war, that if peace
should suddenly be declared there
might be temporary drop in prices
but only for time until they could
adjust themselves to the new con-
ditons.

Peggy raised the stick.
"BangW she cried. The effect was
amazing. The Witch gave a squall
and dived abruptly into the lake.
Clear out of sight she went, but UP
to the surface hoated her queer head
dress. Then Peggy saw that it
didn't belong to her at all. 1t was
false. just like a switch made out of
hair.
The head of the Witch came up,
but Peggy again raised the stick and
again shouted Bang" Down dived
the Witch, leaving more of her trap
ping floating on the surface.
why, the Witch is only Loon"
cried Bullfrog in establishment,
Shes Loom" croaked Night
Heron, That's her secret
She's a Loom" croaked the Ra-
vens, She's been fooling us all these
years"
Now Peggy understood why the
word "looney" had SO upset the
Witch.
"And we've been wasting our time
catching fish for her and waiting on
her because we thought her some
strange marvel who could do us
HARM" cried all the Night Herons.
Princess Peggy was right. She's
fraud. Let's finish her and change
from Dismals and Dolefuls to Joy
fuls and Gladfuls," screamed the
Birds, and away they went after the
Witch, whose head bobbed up a
short distance away, only to dive
out OF sight when the Loon saw
that her subjects had revolted, and
that her tricky reign was ended.
Peggy didn't see what the finish
of the Witch was, for the frogs
quickly brought her board to shore
at the cottage. They were just ir
time, for the storm broke just then
and Peggy had to streak it acros:
the lawn to escape the rain which
swept down in a regular cloudburst
while the wind shook the cottage
and the thunder roared.
my, I'm glad I'm safe and snug
inside, instead of out in that awful
swamp, thought Peggy, as she
crawled back into bed.
Next week Peggy will meet the Libert,
Fairy. who will take her on a marvellous
adventure In the warlands across tn,
ocean.)

Advice to the
Love-Lorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX
Shall She Accept Him?

Dear Miss Fairfax: I am
deeply in love with a young
man four years my senior who is
soon to sail for France. Do you
think 1t prudent for girl to engage
herself to a man who might come
home a cripple and be a burden?
l shall always care for him deeply.
whether he is crippled or not. F. L.
I don't think, in spite Of what you
believe, that you would always care
deeply for your soldier boy even if
he came back a cripple. There are
indicfk,ons in your letter that you
would find it considerable of a hand
leap to have this kind of husband
Unless you are so proficient in your
own particular line Of work that you
make enough to help maintain the
family, or unless you have some
money. the risk appears to be too
great.
There are cases in which girls love
their soldier sweethearts so deeply

Red Cross Nurses.

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
Will you please answer the follow
ing question, which is pulling many
people? l have in mind young
married lady who. before her mar
riage, was an experienced trained
nurse. During the last year she has
been taking a supplementary course
aud studying French. Her husband

Will the Red Cross accept and
send her to France as a nurse? She
would not expect to go in the same
unit as her husband. MRS. ].
Government rules absolutely pro-
hibit both husband and wife serving
in France. Since your friend is so
we'll equipped and nurses are so
badly needed, why does not the hus-
band stay at home and let her serve?
If he will not, the Red Cross would
be glad to place her in cantonment
service in this country. There is a
great, shortage of nurses and she
could render a valuable service on

Night. 10 thrown into the cage OF the Man
Eaters. She escapes through the aid OF
the Frogs,)
nEGGY, spurred on by the cries
of the Witch of the Night, fed
- desperately along the bridge
made by the backs of the Frogs.
The queer path was slippery and
rough. but it held her up safely as
she sped over the murky waters
and black sink holes OF the swamp.
Hurry! Hurry" urged Bullfrog,
who was leaping along beside her,
showing her the way. But she did
not need his urging to make her run
her very fastest. The thought OF
those awful Man Eaters put wings
on her feet. 1t seemed as if she
could still hear their menacing hum.
CHANGING behind her. she found that
this hearing them wasn't just fancy.
A string of Man Eaters was chasing
her.
Any minute Peggy expected to
come to the end of the bridge OF
Frogs, but it went on and on until
she darted out of the swamp to the
edge of the open lake,
From the direction of the Witch's
den came a loud cry.
The Man Eaters have found the
trail. Follow, follow! She must
not escape. She knows my secret.
Bulfrog had halted and Peggy
stopped abruptly. Looking down
she saw that the Frog bridge ended
under her feet. There seemed no
. way OF escape across the ripping
waters of the lake. The bridge was
now breaking up behind her, the
Frogs fercely attacking every Man
. eater that came within reach.
> "Cro-ak! Cro-ak!' sounded a IA
miliar voice among the reeds, and
Peggy saw floating toward her a
board on which stood her old
friend, General Croaker.
ia "All aboard, Princess Peggy"
croaked General Croaker. Peggy,
never questioning, stepped on the
slippery craft.
Full speed ahead" ordered Gen
eral Croaker, and the board headed
out into the lake, moving swiftly
over the splashing waves. Then
Peggy saw what was making it 60
1t was drawn by dozens of strong
swimming Frogs.
General Croaker and Bullfrog
! fought off Man Eaters that came too
close, but behind them stretched a
long line of the voracious tliers.
The storm which had been threat
ening for a long time now seemed
very near. Flashes of lightning
came from all directions.
Looking around Peggy saw the
Witch coming swiftly along the
trail Of the Man Eaters. With her
were the Night Herons and the Ra-
venS.
THE Witch; She'll gobble us up
,ried Bullfrog, He had been very
brave fighting the Man-Eaters, but
ne knew he stood no chance against
he Witch.
Shoot her" croaked General
Croaker. Peggy wondered what
she could shoot with. In the water
ahead she saw a floating stick. As
she went by she seized it. II glis-
:ened in the moonlight and at little
distance looked exactly like gun
The Witch was now directly behind
