ery story told against natural gas. The people of Omaha will not be fooled. They will vote on September 25 and bring to Omaha the greatest opportunity ever enjoyed by this city since the coming of the Union Pacific railroad. One would think from some of the misstatements that the 15,000,000 people now using natural gas are all fools. If any of these men who are spreading these false stories for their own selfish interests were to go to a natural gas city and start a campaign to take natural gas out of the city they would probably lynch them. In forming an opinion with regard to natural gas, the citizens of Omaha should carefully consider these important points: ; ;-ii. Natural gas will save the people of Omaha at least $500,000 annually inrlower gas bills. Every nome will be able to cut their gas bills 30 per cent Trith natural gas, without spending one penny. 2. There will be no increase in taxes if the gas bond issue is approved by the voters. The principal and interest of these bonds will be Ihet with revenue from the sale of the gas. 3. Omahans are assured of proper pressure and sufficient supply because our gas field is the largest in the world. The pipe line will be the largest ever laid. Advantage will be taken of all engineering improvements in the natural gas industry. "We have every guarantee that Omaha will have constant pressure and an uninterrupted supply of natural gas. 4. Natural gas is already proving of great benefit in developing Kansas City as an industrial center. With natural gas Omaha will have the same cheap fuel advantages as Kansas City. Natural gas will bring about the expansion of many Omaha industries and be an inducement to Others to locate here. This will mean more employment and prosperity for Omaha.

"NEW YEAR, 5689 By DR. F R E D E R I C K COH X,

Local. Individuals and Organizations Found to Have Done Distinguished Work in Almost Every Possible Field of Activity LEADERS NATIONALLY

PROMINENT

The glamour of national events has a tendency to diminish in our own eyes the importance and good of our own communal lifje; our nearsightedness blinds us to the beneficence of our local work- But all else dwindles into insignificance in comparison with the multiplicity and munificence of our energetic activities right in tiais city. In every line of endeavor, in every field of activity, in every direction of benevolence, the Jew of Omaha has contributed above his quota. Everything touched upon has flourished, every achievement outstanding. A realization of the large amount of work done can be.gleaned only through a resume of the year's events. Unfortunately, this must be merely a partial summary, as a complete review would cover unbelievable territory. '
