POP THE QUESTION. EDDIE;
ELSIE SEEMS WILLIN'.

New York, Aug. 30.-Miss Elsie
Janis, vaudeville artist, admits that
Eddie Rickenbacker. ace Of aces
among the flying fighters in the
great war. stands more than ace
high with her-as do all members of
the Oath aero squadron, of which
she is honorary commander. But
as for being engaged to marry
Eddie-well, let her tell it as she
did to a reporter who reported the
report of the engagement.
Engaged to Eddie Rckenbacker:? d?
My goodness, no!
"There isn't one little iota OF
truth in it. l only wish | could
make such nice announcement.
I'd shout it and sing it and maybe
weep to all the world, i'll my joy.
"Why, l scarcely know him and
haven't the slightest idea where the
dear boy is. And for all | know.
he may have a wife and three chill
dren.
Il guess the story got started
when he and | were engaged in a
benefit entertainment together. We
both received warm receptions and
the audience begun calling first for
me and then for Rickenbacker, and
then for us together. But | don't
see that having our names called
together right out in public right
like that constitutes matrimony. do

Stores Will Close, Factories
Will Cease Operations and
Public Buildings Will Be
Deserted Tomorrow.
ABOUT 10000 EXPECTED
TO MARCH IN BIG PARADE
Peculiar Significance Attaches
to Celebration Of Day This
Year, Omaha Labor Lead
ers Declare.

Labor will reign supreme and all
Omaha will pay it homage tomor-
row, Labor day. All the forces Of
organized labor are marshalled in the
city and are prepared at the word of
their leaders to turn out in one
of the most impressive parades ever
witnessed here.
Stores will close. factories will
cease operations. and public build
ings will be deserted.
No Mail Deliveries
No mail will be delivered and all
sub-stations Of the postoffice will
be closed, it was announced by
Postmaster c. E. Tanning. Retail
and wholesale houses will close at
l o'clock in the afternoon. Officials
at the county court house and the
city hall stated that neither of these
buildings will remain open during
the day. Only the public library
will remain open as usual.
Although railroad Offices will re-
main closed through the day, Off
cials of the various roads are max
ing special preparations to accom-
modate the annual exodus from the
city which comes on Labor day.
Special coaches and extra equipment
will be added to the regular trains
to care for the passengers.
Labor Seeks Vindication
Peculiar significance attaches to
the celebration of Labor day this
year. in the opinion of Omaha labor
leaders. Labor has just passed
through the most critical year of its
history. Controversies have been
more numerous between employers
and organized employees in the
period just passed than ever be-
fore, F. J. Huller, chairman of the
Labor day program committee, de-
clared. High prices and prohteer-
ing have forced labor to make more
demands than in any previous year.
And now, with many people charg-
ing that the force of labor is being
exerted for selfish and unpatriotic
purposes, the organized workers of
this city seek vindication, Mr.. HUI
ler further stated.
This years Labor day will, there
fore, be a protest against the con-
ditions which have contributed to
bringing about the present unrest
A rallying cry voicing this protest
has been adopted officially, and will
be heard many times during the cele-
bration. 1t is, "We won the war for
democracy. We now demand democ-
racy."
Has Doubled Membership
In the past year organized 'abor
has practically doubled its member
ship and affiliations III the city, ac-
cording to local labor leaders. All
these newly organized locals and
new members of the older locals
will march through Omaha's princi-
pal streets tomorrow morning, be-
ginning at $50, and will later at
tend the annual outing at Krug park.
The number of men and women who
will participate in the mammoth
demonstration of the forces of Or
ganized labor in the city is variously
estimated at from $4,000 to $4,000.
At the present time approximately
10000 men and women comprise
the various locals affiliated with the

AGED ARMY OFFICER
MARRIES HIS NURSE.

New York, Aug. 30.-Gen. Nathan
Goff, II years old, who was secre-
tary of the navy in the Hayes ad-
ministration, thrice representative
and once a United States senator
has married Miss Catherine Penny,
40. his nurse. News of the wedding
came from Clarksburg, w. Va, Gen
eral Gof's home, but all efforts to
learn particulars of the nuptials
were fruitless.
The marriage license bureau was
closed when the news was received
and clerks at the Hotel Walcott and
the Holland house, where General
Golf is accustomed to live while in
New York, said they had not seen
him for months and had no idea
where he was stopping. No better
results were met from inquiries at
clubs which the general frequented
when in town.
1t was assumed from the reports
OF turmoil in General Gotf's family,
which accompanied news of his we'd
ding. that the decision of the couple
to marry was rather suddenly taken
and the journey to this city partook
OF the nature of an elopement. Not
even George Moore. private secre-
tary to General Golf. knew of his
intention to get married.

WHO KILLED JESUS?

It is plum downright shame
how ignorant people are, even
about things that are supposed
TO be common knowledge.
Ask just anybody you please
who killed Jesus, and they will
5ell you that them old mean Jews
md Romans killed him. Ask
why the the Jews and Romans
killed Jesus, and you will be told
that it was because he was a
Good Man, and the wicked peo-
pie wanted him out of the way.
Nine times out of ten that is the
sort of an answer you will get.
But that is not a true state
ment of the case at all. The Jews
and Romans who did that job
were not supposed to be bad peo-
pie. They were evidently the
best people they had in those
days, Judged from the stand
point of Responsibility" It is
a well-known fact that the Jews
who took part in the trial and
execution of Jesus were the very
"top of the pot" both socially
and religiously. They were the
city officials, the bankers, the
deacons, and leading men of the
day. It was their business to
look out for law-breakers and all
sorts of criminals and see that
they we're punished.
So when Jesus came along
preaching his new gospel and
claiming to be the Son of God
those defenders of the faith
got together and decided that
Jesus was a dangerous character
to be running loose. He was {
hereto, a blasphemer, a law
breaker, a criminal. The safety
of society demanded that he b.
put out of the way. So the1
got busy and did it. Although
they were not able to produce
scrap of evidence against him
it seems that they had made VI
their minds on the matter AM
they just crucifed him anyhow
They had it in their heads some
how that he was a bad man,
: dangerous man, and that ]

Such sweeping and wholesale
denuciation Of Bible truths that
you don't understand, and have
not even TRIED to understand,
is a dangerous business, and you

THE MOODY BIBLE INSTI-
TUTE

the name Of the Moody Bible
Institute, of Chicago, for a good
many years, but I thought it
was just one Of The plain old cut
and-dried orthodox concerns
that would have II duck-fits all
in a pile if you mentioned such
a thing as millennium" in it's
presence.
So I was happily surprised a
few weeks ago to learn that the
famous old Moody Bible Insti-
tute is just as strong on the Mil
lennial doctrine as [ am, and do
ing all it can to spread it. Some
of it's idea. as to the details of
what must yet happen before
the Millennium actually gets
started may be a little different.
from mine. But that doesn't
matter. The important thing is
that it teaches the soon coming
of Christ to set up His Kingdom,
here on earth and rule as a lit
eral earthly King for a thousand
years.
The Moody Bible Institute ad-
vertises and sells many books
along these lines by DR.. James
M. Gray and others. Send for a
catalog and order some of the
books. I especially recommend
"The Coming and Kingdom of
Christ" a book made up of a
series Of prophetic lectures de-
livered in Chicago in 1914 by

world-famous evangelist; Rev.
R. A. Torrey, world famous
evangelist, and others. You can
get this book in a nice paper
bound edition for Is cents. Send
your order direct to- The Bible

1926 North La Sale St., Chicago,
I'll. Do NOT send orders to me
for this book.
The aforementioned book, as
well as many others you can get

: you with undeniable proof that
all these world-fanous preachers
! and leaders Of religious thought
lDO actually believe in the Mil
lennium just like I do. And they
are not a bit backward about
saying so, either. Some of them
> admit that they used to preach
against it, but they have been
: happily converted to the Truth,
and now they, are shouting it
from the house-tops.
1t is a matter of deep regret tc
me that these good and wise
