The Civ Election.

Omaha's first election under the
new commission plan OF city govern
menf has resulted In q decisive VIC
tory for Mayor Dahlman and all the
candidates associated with him In
the fight.
The mayor interprets the result
as an endorsement Of his admins
tration. In a measure 1t is this. but
from another viewpoint II is more a
vote OF censure on the campaign
methods OF the autocratic and self
constituted slate-mskers who had as
sumed sole charge OF the opposition
TO the mayors administration. The
defeated candidates include some
men of standing and ability. who de-
served a better fate, and who must
mark themselves down as victims Of
political shortsightcdness and mis-
management.
But postscripts are not particu-
larry satisfying. Looking ahead.
Omaha is about to enter upon new
period OF its municipal career. Our
new frame of city government vests
the elective officials with vastly en-
larged powers and tremendous re-
sponsibilities. which It remains for
them to meet intelligently. courage
ousIy and creditsbly. It will be
found that the Reorganization Of the
departments Ia colossal task cali
ing for broad vision and scrupulous
care. and is not to be done in a day
or week.
With proper support from oub citi-
gems the new administration can
make a record OF efficiency. economy
and achievement. and be q real pro-

Our Batter Bill

Nebraska produces 5o,ooo.oo
pounds Of butter q year and sells Ii
for s12.o00.000. or an average Of
"a cents per pound. which Is Just 1
cent below the average price Of
1.s3o. 900. 900 pounds Of butter pro-
duced In the United States In one
year. These are government figures
based on the wholesale market and,
assuming, as the statistician does,
that the cost OF retail distribution
amounts TO rs per cent Of wholesale
prices. he finds that we pay In this
country about $500, 100000 a year
for our butter, little more than 80
cents a pound. which amounts to
substantially IS per capita. Each
individual. then. consumes IS worth
OF butter annually, so It may still be
safe to say that bread is the staff
OF life, but the term implies butter,
for the most OF US do not eat our
bread dry.
Nebraska, which now ranks
eleventh among the states in point Of
butter production. including the
farm and factories, will some day
very soon be found much higher
up In the scale, for We are rapidly
increasing our dairying interests.
Farmers have but q comparatively
few years been attracted to this
great pursuit, but having found
It 30 very lucrative. they are steadily
increasing their investment. In the
cities the butter makers are equally
enlsrging their outputs. In Omaha,
one OF the leading butter markets Of
the world already. We are turning
out In the neighborhood OF $4,000
900 OF manufactured butter from
our factories every year. One
scarcely realizes the almost limit
less extent Of the butter business,
and yet II Is not strange since we
remember that butter-eating Is a
natural habit and not one that has
to be cultivated by artificial appeals
to the appetite or the pockstbook.

city, outlying. there Is distinctive
spirit Of this character which Is
working remarkable results for the
entire vicinity and therefore for the

trying to see Just how. neat and at

DON'T HAVE GRAY HAIR.
A Simple Remedy Will Bring Back
 The Natural Color.

Pull out one gray hair and dozen will take it's place. Is an old saying, which Is, to a great extent true, if no steps are taken to stop the cause. When gray hairs appear 1t is a sign that Nature needs assistance. It Is Natures call for help. Gray hair, dull, Iifeless hair, or hair that is falling out, is not necessarily a sign of>advancing age. for there are thousands of elderly people with perfect heads of hair with out a single streak of gray.
 When gray hairs come, or when the hair seems to be lifeless or dead, some good, reliable hair restoring treatment should be resorted to at once. Special ists say that one of the best prepara- tions to use is the old Fashioned sage tea" which our grandparents used. The best preparation of this kind is Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem edy a preparation of domestic sage and sulphur, scientifically compounded with later discovered hair tonics and stimulants, the whole mixture being carefully balanced and tested by ex- perts.
 Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is clean and wholesome and perfectly harmless. It refreshes dry, parched hair, re- moves dandruff and gradually restores faded or gray hair to it's natural color.
 Don't delay another minute. Start using Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur at once and see what difference a few days treatment will make in your hair.
 This preparation is offered to the public at fifty cents a bottle, and is recommended and sold by all druggists Agents The Lee &, Osgood Co.

HARVESTER TRUST HAS
 NOT YET PAID DIVIDEND. Testimony of President Haskins in Suit
 to Dissolve Concern.

Chicago, Sept. 17.-Although 1t sold $100 0000,000 worth of farm implements, the International Harvester company of America last year made only $150, ,000 in profits, or fifteen -hundredths of one per cent, according to R. C. Hasllins, the company's president, who testified today before a special examiner in the governments suit to dissolve the cor poration under the Sherman antitrust law.
 Questions were asked by the govern ment attorneys to show that the Inter national Harvester company of Amer ica was merely the selling agent of the International Harvester company of pany was to make all the money.
 ''1s it not your object to buy from the New Jersey corporation at such a price as will enable you to sell so that you will have neither a loss nor a prof it?" asked Edwin P. Grosvenor. special assistant attorney general.
 Our object is to buy cheaply as we can and to make as much as possible. We try to buy from the New Jersey company at prices we would get from any other company" replied Mir. Has, lSins.
 But you never have paid diw- dend ?"
 No, we never have"
 Most of today's session was devoted to describing the technical features of farm implements. One reason. Mir. HaslIins said, why the sales company made only $150,O0O while it sold $1O0,- 000,000 worth of implements was that it was constantly expanding it's busi- ness and expending large sums for. ad- yertising.
