Security

Real estate is the basis of all material
wealth. There is no safer investment
for the man who cannot afford to
take chances, than to purchase an in
terest in a substantial piece of real
estate. The security for the principal
of any investment in the American
Bank Building Securities is in the
partial ownership of a city lot with
building on it that is designed to get
the very greatest rental returns pos
sible. Located in the path of Oma-
has growth so that when<it becomes
"a city of 100000 population, it will
be right in the center Of Omaha's
business activities. The modern
"skyscraper," made as it is of brick
and steel, is one Of the most enduring
of building structures. AS physjca;
property it is one of the LONGEST
LIVED OF INVESTMENTS. AS a
commercial property, the life of the
American Bank Building is assured
by the stability of it's location.

The Demand

The demand for office space in Ona-
ha is too well known to need empha-
sis here. Suffice to say, according
to statistics prepared by the Publicity
Bureau Of the Omaha Chamber of
Commerce, 523 new business firms
have located in Omaha during the
first SIX MONTHS OF. 1919.

Rental Income

The cost of the building and all ex-
penses have been very carefully and
conservatively estimated, and it
seems highly probable that the gross
earnings will be more than THREE
TIMES the dividend requirements.
These securities being made partici-

extra profits.

EXPLODED THEORY.

The married man concluded to try
out his new theory, says the Kansas
City Star. Addressing his spouse he
said:
My dear, | should like to go to
Jones tonight for several hours. Mr..
Jones is not i'll and does not require
any sitting up with. If he did | should
let his wife do it, Mr.. Jones is per
fectly WELL so far as | know, except
for certain itching for a poker game.
He is VIGOROUSLY rotten poker
player, and very likely could be nicked
for several dollars in the course OF
the evening. There might be some
thing to drink-he did not specify con
corning that. He only said my pres
ence would be appreciated. l am sure
that since l have told you the truth
about this affair you will consent to
my going. Am | right?'

BROKE AWAY FROM POVERTY

Somewhere in the obituary of al
most every successful American you
will find this sentence: He began
life a poor boy"
Our great men seem to have had a
positive genius for picking out poor
parents. Although poverty at birth is
looked upon as an asset rather than
liability, most successful Americans,
notwithstanding the tremendous ad-
vantage poverty gave them, began to
hustle for riches before their milk
teeth had fallen out.
Being born poor may be an asset
but it becomes a liability if you stay
that way. When you are pink, stub.
nose baby being carried around on a
pillow and exhibited to the neighbors
you are fortunate if poor, but great
deal more unfortunate if you remain
so.
Most of the men who have sue
ceeded in getting their names in the
United States histories, in public Ii
braries and on cigar labels selected
parents who were constantly humping
into people on the streets to whom
they owed money, but the greatness
of these men was displayed in the
neatness and dispatch with which
they succeeded in leaving something
more substantial for their own chill
dren than pink compilations and wait
ing lists of creditors.

LET THEM GO.

If a man is disconnected with this
country of the free, with a govern
ment invented for such folks as you
and me, let him take his aunts and
nieces, pack his bombs and knucks
and creeses in his secondhand valises,
and go sailing DER the sea.
If man comes here to jabber
while the other fellows work, if he's
prone to be a stabber with an an
archistic dirk, let us tell him, through
our faces, we'll be happy if he chases
to the foul and foreign places where
his fellow loafers Turk.
If a skate from Europes alleys
comes to this star spangled shore,
hoping by his Quips and sallies to
make honest workers sore, let's con-
denim his crazy notion, let us curb his
weird emotion, let us lead him to the
ocean and the ship that sails at four
| War has left our people nervous

The case reminds me-" he said,
"of Pietro Libertini, scion of sunny
Italy, who was on trial for a murder
Gus assault. His lawyer defended him
in this manner:
Your honor the lawyer began,

comes from Italia la Bella, land of rO-
nance, art and immortal literature.
He comes, your honor, from the sun
kissed home of the illustrious Michel
angelo Buonarotti, of the divine Raj
faello and the undying Dante Alighi-
eri. He comes from the olive-crowned
birthplace of Tasso, Ariosto and the
humorous Boccaccio. His home is
Italia, prolific mother of art and sci
ence, progenitrix of Galvani and Ga
lileo Galilei.'
After the lawyer had gone on in
this strain for about an hour the judge
began to get impatient
What has all this got to do with
the case?' he finally asked.
my poor words, said the lawyer
are by way of preface. My client

very lowest form of pictorial art. He

an appeal has been made to Catholics

world missionaries, for modern Cla-

and in lieu of volunteers, for huge
sums to be expended in rebuilding the
schools, hospitals and orphan asy-

and for extension of the Society for

TAKING" THE STREET CAR.

They enter with swaggers, with stag
gers and hops,
They enter with plunges and lunges
and pops;
They come with a jump and they come
in trot,
They come on the run-though the
car moveth not.
They grab at conductor, at casing or
strap,
They land with a gasp in the scared
strangers lap;
They glue stern eye on seat far
ahead
And reach it at last, by kindly hand
led.
The space may be ample or far, far
too small
1t feazes fair passenger, oh, not at all!
She squeezes right in and looks round
with a smile,
She settles and fidgets in ignorance
of guile;
She boosts little Johnnie high up in
the seat,
He mops your best coat with his dear
little feet;
You are boiling within, though you're
placid without,
Of your feeling for Johnnie there
isn't doubt.
Then a strap-hanger moves and comes
down on your toe
And you hand out six cents for this
measure of woe!

RUSS CHILDREN REDUCED TO
SAVAGERY.

OF all the terrible revelations of
human misery that have seeped out
of Russia none wrenches the heart as
does the story of the thousands of
helpless children abandoned in the
Siberian wilds, the fate of many of
whom is still unknown but can be
conjectured The cables have car
ried fragmentary accounts of how
these helpless little ones were sent
out of Petrograd and Moscow last
year in the hope that they would find
food in the rural districts, how, when
their guardian teachers sought to take
them back to the cities the Bolshevik
front stood as a barrier and how,
maddened by their inability to find
refuge for their charges, the teachers
finally deserted them. But it re-
veal the full horror of the plight that
killed hundreds of these innocents and
reduced the terrified and starving sur
yivors to a state more than bordering
on savagery. Telling of the rescue Of
some of these pitiful victims of what
Russia is today Mr.. Kornfield writes
in the June number of the New Red
Cross Magazine:
Near the Urals peasants ran across
fiocks of them suddenly trailing over
hill; ragged, dirty, staring children
running from human approach in
fright and clinging to each other for
protection like sheep in the wind.
Hundreds were captured-wild, UNI
comfortable creatures who had lost all
sense of intimacy with human touch.
Red Cross workers with great diff
Guilty assembled them in factories, in
houses, gave them food, clothing and
medicine but could not win their con-
fdence, for rather than children being
cared for after such suffering they
acted like tired little animals sud
denly tricked into some sort of cap

o, SAY, CAN YOU SING WHAT YOU
DAILY ARISE FOR?

The following parody on our ma
tional anthem was read at a recent
Baptist convention, says the Des
Moines Capital:
o, say, can you sing from the start to
the end,
What SO proudly you stand for when
orchestras play it?
When the whole congregation, in
voices that blend,
Strike up the grand tune and then tor
ture and Stay it?
How valiant they shout when they're
first starting out;
But the dawn's early light finds them
fioundering about,
'Tis THE Star Spangled Banner"
they're trying to sing,
But they don't know the words of the
precious, brave thing
Hank, the twilight's last cleaning has
some of them stopped,
But the valiant survivors press for
ward serenely
To the ramparts we watched. when
some others are dropped,
And the loss of the leaders is mani
fest keenly,
Then the rockets red glare gives
the bravest a scare,
And there's few left to face the
bombs bursting in air."
