Festival Warmer and Large
Crowds Swarm to City of
Gayety.
CHILDREN'S DAY SET
FOR NEXT SATURDAY
Admission Will Be Reduced
0ne-Ha|f to Allow Riddles
to See Wonders on Kings
Highway.

The Kings Highway at Fifteenth,
street and Capitol avenue got under
way yesterday, the second day, in
manner which gladdened the hearts
of ]. D. DAD Weaver, secretary of
Ak-Sar-Ben; Con T. Kennedy, head
of the carnival attractions, and Har-
old Bushea, manager of the carni-
val, and all of the show folk.
A bright autumnal sunshine
spread pleasant glow over the lit
tie town of gayety which has been
established for the delectation of
thousands of celebrants.
Shows Are Snappy.
The carnival crowds last evening
was jolly crew of revelers, going
from show to show, stopping to
view the ballyhoos and then enter
ing to behold the wonders and
amuyements offered inside. There is
more snap to the shows this season
and the general tone is better than
in seasons gone by.
Saturday from to p. m. will be
hours set aside especially for chill
dren, who will be admitted at half
price to the grounds and the shows.
It will be "Children's day." Satur-
day afternoon. The little folks win
enjoy particularly the midgets, seven
tiny people who have a regular
show in themselves, with boxing be-
tween Ike" and Mike" 19-year-old
twins; dancing, singing, contortion
act and other stunts. This is with
out doubt the best midget show ever
witnessed here in a carnival. 1t
holds the interest of young and old.
"No Name" Puzzle.
At the "No Name" show is an OBJ
ject which has human form. and it
walks, moves arms and head and
otherwise Stimulates the actions of
an everyday, well-dressed man. 1t is
attached to an electrical wire and is
accompanied by a young woman.
Many visitors are convinced that it
is mechanical figure and others
think it is live man appearing as
an automaton. The manager of the
show, who has never been caught
telling a fb, said he would give 500
to any Omaha young woman who
believes it is a real man and can
make lit" smile. This figure, or
man, whichever it really is, appeared
on the steps of the treasury building
at Washington, D. c., during a war
savings stamp drive. 1t fell all of
the way down the steps and then a
a sign appeared, reading, 1T fell for
war savings stamps; why don't
you?" If it is a piece of mechan-
ism it is something to marvel at; if
it is a human being, it is likewise a
marvel.
Those who appreciate strange and
curious human beings will be at
tracted to the Armstrong l0-in-l
shows, where Mildred. the tall wo-
man. may be seen; also Tomasco,
the small Aztec Indian.

HIGH SALARIED JOBS
GO BEGGING IN CITY
u. S. Employment Service
ShoUs Need for Men.

No matter what situation exists in the
field of employment for skilled and un-
skilled labor. and no matter how many
young college graduates are returning
from overseas anxious TO enter every line
OF endeavor. the old maxim that there
is plenty or room at the top is shown
to be accurate, according to facts COM
piled by the United States Employment
Service.
The professional and special section
OF the United States Employment Ser
vice. with Offices at &c East Forty-second
street, is engaged solely with the work
of placing high grade men. and while
1t has a preponderance of young college
seeduates and men 'oi twoS1 three years
experience In business, it has not yet
found suitable applicants for a large
number OF positions paying between
SIS, 900 and $4,000 a year. These posi-
lions require men with executive ca
pacity and good education. and also sew
sral years OF practical experience In spe-
cial lines.
Men OF broad experience are able at
present to sell their services at a good
price In almost every line.
In the opinion of those in charge of
the work of the professional and special
section of the United States Employment
Service. there never was a time when
employers appeared TO be more in need
Of men TO FIJI positions at the top or
more willing to pay for their services.

The territory is not as strongly or

The latest news from Tioga county is
to the effect that the condensed milk

an effort to show that whereas the per

two or three times that quantity.
It is expected the State will make an
appropriation for the show. The Dairy
mems League will have a producers
