Construction On New
Apartment House Will
Be Started at Once

Plans are practically complete and
construction will be begun at once
on the new apartment house to be
built by Charles R. Garvey, c. R.
Vaughn and Will McCaffery.
The building will be four stories
high and will contain S. apartments
of three, four and five rooms each.
The rooms will be large and airy,
strictly modern and high class in
every respect.
Real kitchens will replace Etch-
enettes, fact which will add to the
attractiveness of the apartments.
In addition to a thorough study Of
apartment house construction in
Omaha, Mr.. McCafery and Mr.. Gar
vey have spent the last two weeks
in other cities seeking new ideas
to be adapted to their building.
The building will cover the en-
tire ground, which is 205xl65 feet.
The Vaughn Construction COM
pany will erect the building, which
will be ready for occupancy abou:
the first of the year.

Only Best Layers Kept
Durinu Summer Months

Hens should not be kept in crowd
ed quarters during the hot summer
months, says J. G. Halpin of the
Wisconsin College of Agriculture.
Crowding increases the death rate
and lowers egg production.
The hen that is always wanting to
set is one to get rid Of; she loses
too much time.
The hen with bright yellow beak
and legs, as yellow 'as the cock
birds, and solid abdomen, is an
other one to Gull out. She has not
been working.
The very old hen shout be culled,
because hens are rarely good egg
producers after the second or third
year.
The hen with the badly broken
down abdomen should also be dis
posed of. She has been overfed and
will lay only few eggs year. The
death rate among these hens is un-
usually high.
Flocks kept in limited quarters
should be culled out according to
some such plan, says Mr.. Halpin.
The smaller flock with plenty of
pasture and room will be more prof
liable than the larger but crowded
flock.
The college flock was culled May
II, and 101 hens were sold. Ninety
of these hens were good layers, but
the buildings were too crowded for
hot weather so these were sold to
leave room for the best layers.

GEORGE GREEN
and SONS Make
GOOD IN MUSIC
Former Omaha Men at the
Top of Their Profession With
Big Bands; Worth Is
Recognized.

George Green and his two sons
are making remarkable success in
the musical field. The Musical
Messenger" recently carried front
page group OF the three and the
following notice which will be Of
interest to their Omaha friends.
we have a 'three-in-one sketch
for the Messenger this month. A
TITO; a musical family TRADE. 1t is
family of Greens-not greene,
greeners. as you will discover-not
any faint of yellow; but 100 per
cent Americans and musicians Of
international repute.
George Green, father and tonic
of the triad, is at present band
master of the famous Since band
Of the Simmons company. of Ke-
nosha, Wis. He is probably
as we'll known throughout the
country as any Of the present-day
bandmasters. For thirty-three
years he had his own band in
Omaha, Neb. Just about a year
ago he moved to Kenosha in charge
of the Since band. His ambition
is to build up this band into a great
organization of national reputation.
Succeeds by Hard Work.
"Mr. George Green, father, takes
great satisfaction in the character
and reputation of his boys, ard
justly so. When they made known
to him that they desired to be rnu-
sicians he said to them: IF you in
tend to be musicians, be good ones
or none at ALL" They accepted TIE
challenge, worked hard, against odds
at times, but soon attained an emf
nence in their profession that justi-
hes their fondest dreams.
Father Green was not man of
opulence, but optimistic as to tie
outcome of his boys ambitions. He
sacrificed and endured hardsh.ps
that his boys might have every ad-
vantage possible to them in the &C
quirement of musical educatiol,
they denying themselves likewise in
the pursuit. Their place now among
Omaha daily bee., 1919-06-22

musicians has fully repaid him for
all his anxiety and self-denials. He
hears of their popularity and SUI
cesses and listens to their playing
Oh phonograph records.
George Green, jr., is the perfect
third 'of the musical triad. He is
"a years old. His instrument is the
xylophone. He is the leading SOLO
ist of the country on the instrument
and an authority on its artistry. He
began his music on the piano VIXEN
small boy He soon took to drum
ming, and this led to taking up tie
xylophone. The possibilities Of this
instrument enchanted him, and have
carried him to the topmost pinnacle
of fame as xylophonist. He is a
composer, and also writes magazine
articles on the place and values of
the xylophone.
Now With Sousa.
zoe, the eldest son, ,26, and fifth
Of the triad, started his musical
career when boy in a picture
house as drummer. He afterward
went to Chicago, and while there
studied drumming under the great
tympanist, Joseph Zettlcman. Of
TIE Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
For three years he was associated
with this great artist and teacher,
Mr.. Zettleman took great interes,
in him and predicted bright
future for him. Joe has been for the
past two seasons drummer an!
xylophone solo;st of Sousa's band.
aud will be with him this season.
Stimulated by the success of the
xylophone of his brother George,
ice took up the instrument. One
of the results is the Green Brothers
Orchestra of New York, making
records for the phonograph in addi-
ton to their regular band solo
work.
The boys are we'll liked by THEN
band associates. They are popular
and have a splendid reputation a.
young men o. character as we'll as
master musicians.

1t is safe TO say that no lawyer
prosecuted and convicted more men,
who during the war with Germany
have tried to slip one over on Uncle
Sam, than has Sylvester R. Rush Of
Omaha, special assistant to the at
torney general In the matter of
presenting profiteers on government
work and those who have had gov
eminent contracts, Mr.. Rush has
been called into ctically every
state of the union.
With all the prosecutions that
have been started, and they have run
into the hundreds during the last
two years, scores of convictions
have been obtained. On the whole,
however, Mr.. Rush is of the opinion
that in dealing with the government,
people as a rule have been on the
square. The matter of being on the
square, according to Mr.. Rush, may
be attributed to two causes; one the
patriotism of the people and the
other, the desire to do business
along the line of business principles.
While there was any amount of
attempted profiteering in dealing
with Uncle Sam, according to Mr..
Rush, in a large number of cases
the enormously high prices were
due to the emergency demand made
upon contractors and dealers who
were called upon to furnish supplies
and equipment for the army and
navy.
In many cases the government
called upon contractors to deliver
the goods within what seemed to
be an impossitlcy short time. In

Building Activity in
the United States Grows

All available statistics point to the
fact that building is now we'll under
way, states Building Age. The lat
est figures received direct from city
building departments throughout the
country show that the estimated
money value for plans filed during
April, 1919, is "a per cent greater
than for April, 1918. The total es-
timated value is $S8,320,258 as
against $48,007,l71. This is by far
the largest increase reported this
year.
That this prosperity is widespread
is shown by the fact that out Of 40
cities reporting, 13o show gains, as
against only 81 showing losses. This
is decidedly encouraging.
Middle state cities show the larg-
est gain, 100 per cent. Southern
cities are next, with 81 per cent gain.
Eastern cities show 81 per cent
gain, and western cities as per cent.

THOMPSON WILL
LEAD CAMP A|GN
FOR new LEAGUE
Lincoln Man Urges Citizens
Ito Awake and Not Allow
Special Interests Control
of State"

w. T. Thompson of Lincoln has
accepted the craftsmanship of the
executive committee of the New
Nebraska Federation and will have
headquarters in Lincoln.
The new organization was formed
following an informal meeting COM
posed principally of country news
paper men. The purpose Of the or
ganization, its officers say, is to
combat an open boast that one class
of people would control the COM
ing constitutional convention ard
write new constitution in the inter-
est of that particular class.
In accepting the craftsmanship Mr..
Thompson said: -
Il consider the nomination and
election of men of character and
ability from. and fairly representa-
tive of all classes of our citizenship,
as delegates to the convention,
matter of vital importance to the
future welfare of our common
wealth-perhaps the most vital that
will challenge the attention of our
people for years to come. In the
framing of a constitution all SEM
blance of special class privileges
should be eliminated, That docu-
ment should reflect neither bolshe-
vism nor North Dakotaism, but on
the contrary, true Americanism
only, founded upon the proposition
of equal rights to all and special
privileges to none.
Il will accept the position ten
dered in your organization, on the
condition that l be allowed to MAIN
tain my headquarters here in Lin
