New members are coming in so

Cheek of the Omaha Auto club.
THE club has received a raft of
congratulations on the splendid rec
ord of accomplishments, and es-
pecially pleased are the motorists
on our long three-year fight for
the Douglas county paving bonds.
Every motorist in Omaha and the
county should constitute themselves

"The club touring bureau is rap

much knowledge of the best fishing
places by looking over the mass of
dope on hand in the club map

Minnesota last year placed the

Wisconsin Markings.
Wisconsin has marked all her

Every main road in the state is now

state and the main highways are
constantly repaired.
Good Roads Stickers.
Ten thousand windshield stickers
will be printed for sticking on the
cars preparatory for an educational
campaign in favor of the Douglas
county $3,000,000 road bonds. "Ev-
cry motorist is a good roads fan, -
states Secretary Smyth, "and | have
yet to hear of a machine owner
who is not heartily in favor of the
bonds and getting his friends to
vote for them. Every car owner
should display the sticker and help
in the work. Stickers will be ready
for distribution in a few days. Call
and get one"
"The recent rains played havoc
with our dirt roads," states Secre-
tary Smyth. They are just begin
ming to round out in nice shape

gave the English adventurer an en-

about the native sons of the
Golden West-what visitor to Cali

of this grand and glorious institu-
ton? Carelessly over a bar in the
National house on the first night
after his arrival the scion of Nor

that he was not qualified to join this
noble order-having had the bad
luck to be born in England instead
of the Golden state.
Immediately a choice group of
Marysvllle's cut-ups determined that
Lord Sholto should not permanent
ly suffer the stigma of not being a
native son, so for his exclusive bene-
fit they organized the Order of the
Woolly Bear and extended to the
Englishman a pressing invitation to
become member. They urged that
few had ever received this honor; in
that they were absolutely truthful;
he was the first and last initiate.

Sholto was game, and after the
ordeal was over he was propped up
in chair at the head of what the
local editor doubtless referred to as
"groaning board" and he was ord
cred the grape to pass.
Hardly had the echoes Of this
escapade, died when Sholto had a
love affair. Her name was Loretta
Mooney and she was a singer on

ran back to the kings of Ireland,
perhaps, but it was not listed in
Burke's Peerage. Loretta's mother
was what the French call "blanch-
isseuse"; so were many of Califor-
MAS grand ladies at one time or
another. They were married and
the papers played Sholto clear
across the front page,
About that time the stern pater
or uncle, or whoever it was back in
England that was supplying the sim

dict was stranded. Was he down.

He had somebody write a vaude-

Stage Appearance Riot.
1t was a riot. All San Francisco
fought for seats. The Cherry Sist-
ers in their prime never had the S.

fast. The only stage appurtenance
that might have added to the finish
of the act was a net. All Sholto
had to do was to come out on the
stage and appear natural. The audi.
ence did the rest.
After a whirlwind career on the
stage Sholto and the pretty Loretta
disappeared. San Francisco never
heard of them thereafter.
I can only add this bit-and sac
one-to the latest history of the
man who once awoke naughty Fris.
