Nebraska Wheat Crop.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.l
LINCOLN, Neb., June 11.-Between
1000 and 5000 extra farm hands will
be needed to take care of the wheat
crop in Nebraska, according to the
estimate of Deputy Labor Commits
sioner Frank NJ. Coffey. 1t is esti-
mated that the Nebraska winter wheat
crop this year will be between 20;
100000 and 74,0OO,0O0 bushels. 1t is
estimated that this years crop in this
state will be approximately 100000
bushels greater than that of 1914
The state has had plenty of rain SO
that a good crop is believed to be as
sured even if no more moisture fell.

USE COCOANUT OIL
FOR WASHING HAIR

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, the less soap you use
the better.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsifed
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless), is much better than
soap or anything else you can use for
shampooing, as this can't possibly in
jure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance of
rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily, and removes every
particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and
excessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and it leaves it fine and
silky, bright fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsifed cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and a few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for
months.

He failed to find her at home, and
nobody had seen her. The young man

and uneasiness. In the meantime the
young wife sat patiently awaiting his
return-from four O'Clock in the after

at night. She saw him enter the

uERE are three hats which stand for
III three very distinct types in the
new millinery for spring. But they
have several features in common
which mark the incoming styles.
They are elaborately made and they
are considerably trimmed. There is
a reaction away from the severely
plain hats with a single and some
times minute decoration. such as
grew tiresome during the past winter.
At the left of the group Is a quaint
and picturesque bonnet made of black
horsehair braid. Narrow black velvet
ribbon and clusters cd garden roses
and forget-me-nots are used for the
trimming. You cannot imagine any
thing which completes the costume
more harmoniously. when 1t is one of
those wide-skirted. colonial looking
affairs that are so prettily developed
In taffeta.
AT the right is pretty street turban
made of braid in satin straw, and hay-
ing soft silk crown. An embroidered
band about the coronet is bordered
with very narrow velvet ribbon and
short streamers fall from diminutiye
fiat bow at the back. At the front
big silk pompon supports a long slen-
der feather which fronts the weather
with amazing audacity.
One of those models which is ex-
pected to do duty both for street and
other wear is shown at the center OF
the group. 1t is made of crepe dra2ed
over light frame. The brim is clev-
.erly managed SO that an outline Of
four points results. Midway between
these a little bouquet OF roses and
small flowers is set in cluster OF
leaves. This is one OF those rare hats
that are suited to older as well as
younger plstrons.
