Hoodoo Number Plays
Important Part in
Soldier Boys Career

F. H. Geist, licensed embalmer,
who quit the employ of Undertaken
Cutler nine months ago to enter the
military service, has completed his
duties and returned to res0me his
place in the Cutler establishment
in Council Bluffs.
Mr.. Geist enjoyed period of in
tensive training, beginning on the
Mexican border and concluding in
the mountains of Kentucky. Incl
dentally the number, IS, has been
conspicuous in all that has trans
pired since he left here. He enlisted
in Omaha July Is, and left here on
a train of Is coaches. He reached
Del Rio, Tex, on another l3-coach
train and was assigned to the Three
Hundred Thirteenth cavalry. He
only had to go into hospital once
and that was on August IS, when
he had a little eye trouble. He was
given bed No. Is. He was there
just Is days. He was later assigned
to the heavy field artillery and got
his military card on September Is,
and the omnipresent numerals ap-
peared in several places on the card.
He was then transferred to Point
Center, Camp Knox, KY, and reach
ed there on the thirteenth of the
month. His final discharge from the
army came on January IS, and after
visiting friends returned to Council
Bluffs last Thursday, February Is.
If he had ever got overseas he was
determined to blow up at least Is
Huns with gun Is, and would have
been happy if it had been 13-inch
howitzer.

COST OF DRAFT.
COM PARATIVELY.
Low IN NEBRASKA
State Ranks Second in Econ
Omy Of Administration Of
Induction; Always Met
Quotas on Time.
From a Sac correspondent.

Lincoln, Feb. l6.-Nebraska not
only ranked second IN the United
States in economy of administration
OF the selective draft law, but also
stands relatively high in the number
OF volunteers furnished for military
service. State Provost Marshall
Walter L. Anderson, sho had charge
OF the administration Of the draft
law in Nebraska, made public these
facts in a bulletin issued yesterday.
"Crowder's record shows Nebras-
Ia is the second state in the union
in low cost per registrant," reads
the bulletin. Only Oklahoma is
lower" The Cornhusker state is
the ninth in low cost per induction
but Captain Anderson explains that
such a method Of listing is not the
best indication OF economy as the
more volunteering, the fewer Undue
tons and consequently the relative
ly higher cost of each induction.
Nebraska's Record Good.
Captain Anderson says; "Nebras-
ka may not always get out in the
'front.' rank in reporting war ACTIVE
ties-but has done we'll, considering
her handicaps, II county seats with
out railroad facilities two of them
without even telephone and tele-
graph communication with the outer
world--some very poor train service
on others and four where the short
ess route to mobilization camps was
through other states. Such things
have made it difficult to get rapid
and correct compiled report. But
Nebraska was never called upon for
a man that she did not furnish him
on the day and hour named by
Washington Nebraska's quota was
always filled on time, and until vol
untary induction vas done away
with she was always a little ahead
Of time.
Nebraska can we'll lie proud OF
the chiefly the local board
members-who made possible her
record as the second state in the
union in the economy OF the admin
istration Of the draft"

Gov. Barows
Turns Down Voucher
for Increase in Pay
Frosn a Sac correspondent.

Lincoln, Feb. l6.-Lieut. Gov. P.
A. Barrows has refused>to sign the
pay vouchers Of employees of the
state senate, providing the raise in
pay, as arranged for by the COM
mittee on employees and the COM
mittee on fees and salaries of the
upper chamber. The scale drawn
up by the joint committee provided
an increase Of from 81 to $3.50 per
day for all employees
The lieutenant governor is of the
same opinion as the members of
the senate that the employees are EN-
titled to an increase under present
costs of living. He points out that
he is under bond, however, ard
might be held liable for the increase
granted unless the proper procedure
is followed. The only way in which
the increase can be given is TO
amend the present law and provide
an emergency.
The lieutenant governor is sup
ported in his position by the attor-
ney general, who says that the mat
ter must be handled in a legal mar
ner.

Red Cross Girls VIII
Come Sailing Home
With Signing Of Peace

Paris, Feb 16.-"When does our
Red Cross girl come homer"
This is question asked under the
sitting room lamp O. nights in many
an American home. Well, mother,
here's the answer as nearly definite
as anything can be in these times:
Your Red Cross girl and your Red
Cross boy will be coming home a
month or so after the peace is
signed at Versailles. Just as soon
after those momentous strokes of
the pen as transportation for them
can be found, as matter of fact.
Folks over here say that it probably
will be some time in April or May.
The authority for this statement
is Major Dan T. Pierce, who sits be-
hind desk in the Red Cross head
quarters here in Paris and answers
all the questions newspaper men
PROFOUND to him. Major Pierce
knows what he is talking about. be-
cause he's head of the Department
of Public Information. Here is what
Major Pierce told me today about
how the coming peace would affect
the plans Of the American Red Cross
War Council over here:
"Our policy, formulated after the
signing of the armistice, is gradu-
ally to withdraw from our activities
over here and permit the French
Red Cross and French government
to take over the work our organiza-
ton has been doing. Nobody has
intimated they'd like to have US get
out; on the contrary, the French
government would be mighty glad
to have us stay indefinitely. But the
Red Cross War Council feels the
war work here was an emergency
measure and now that the war is
over the necessity for further work
here has been removed. This deci-
sion was reached after many talks
between the heads Of the Red Cross
and the French authorities; our
program was submitted to Andre
Tardieu, head of the French Mission
to America, and approved by him.
The Red Cross has established
seven huge warehouses between
Lille and Sedan, each stocked with
food, furniture, bedding and clothes.
This material is to be distributed
upon acquisitions approved by
French relief societies possessing
the confidence Of the French min
lister for the liberated regions. Thus
great stores of supplies we have on
hand will go to the relief of the
devastated districts.
Let me set at rest a misapprehen-
sion prevalent in the States: The
Red Cross does not intend to under
take the tremendous task of recon-
struction in the devastated regions.
That is beyond the powers of any
organization except the govern
ment, which already has advanced
S28,000,000 against claims it expects
to recover from Germany.
The minute peace is formally
signed the War Council and the Red
Cross War fund executive staff will
cease TO have a reason for continu-

vator operator.
Who's your doctor? Better go

From the other end of the wire
