PLENTY OF WHEAT
TO SHIP ABROAD
Government Figures Crop SUI
ficient to Permit Good
Export Trade.
MUCH IS STILL ON HAND

Washington, Aug. l0-This years
wheat crop will be sufficient for the
needs of home consumption and
there will be enough left to meet
norma! export requirements. That
is the view OF government officials,
who said today the rise in wheat
prices and corresponding increase
in the price OF flour, following the
governments last report, indicating a
crop about two-thirds the size of last
years, was the result OF the market
adjusting itself from crop of abb
normal proportions to one Of much
smaller size.
Experts OF the department OF agri-
culture calculate o20,000,000 bushels
of wheat will be required for home
consumption this year. A crop Of
o54 100000 bushels, as forecast from
August conditions, would leave
100000 bushels OF this years crop
available for export. In addition
there was an unusually large carry
over of old wheat from last years
crop.
With the cary-over of old wheat
and the surplus of this years esti-
mated crop, officials believe the
United States will have at least $780,
100000 bushels available for export.
In normal years the export Of
wheat, including flour, averages
about l25,000,000 bushels. In the
first year of the European war $685.
100000 bushels were exported, and
last year the total was about ESQ.,
100000 bushels.

Alkali Makes Soap
Bad for Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else to pieces. You
can get this at any drug store, and a
few ounces will last the whole family
for months. r...
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking,
bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to ham
die. Besides, it loosens and takes
out every particle of dust, dirt and

North Platte Water f..
Supply Contaminated

North Platte, Neb,, Aug. l0--(Spe-
cial. NORTH Plates water supply is
still unfit for use by the residents OF
the city, and although every effort is
being made to locate and remdy the
cause OF contamination the source OF
the impurities that are going through
the city mains has not as yet been
found. 1t is thought possible that the
reopening of old wells may have
caused the trouble, and eight of the
older wells among the total OF thirty
used to supply the city with water,
have been closed down. 1t is hoped
that this may somewhat alleviate the
trouble, but still further investigation
is being made.
The board of health has issued an
order forbidding restaurants and other
public places to serve city water with
out first boiling it, attaching a penalty
of fine of 500 to the order. No
violations of this ordinance has so
far been reported.

Pool and Smith Stick
BY Equalization Ship
(From a staff Correspondence

Lincoln, Aug. lO-(Special 1.-THE
state board of equalization is about
through hearing protests from county
boards against the raises proposed by
the board for the respective counties.
The board will now take these mat
tiers up, but it is not probable there
will be much change from the origi-
nal valuations.
The two most disappointed men,
bers of the board just now are Sec
rotary OF State Pool and Auditor
Smith. Both are members of the Ne
braska State Press association and
both had reserved places for the ex-
cursion which is now in the north
west part of the state taking in the
sights. However, they have stuck on
the job and tried to forget their
troubles. Their failure to go was a
disappointment to the band, for both
are great musicians. Pool is an ex-
pert on the sweeylette, while Smith
plays graphopkone beautifully.

Gets the Best Quarter Section OF
Indian Reservation for rs Gems

Spokane, Wash, Aug. l0.--lt cost
George Lennon of this city just Is
cents to be awarded the best quarter
section of land on the diminished Col
vile Indian reservation, in the draw
ing recently held here by the govern
ment.
The name of Lennon, a young Ia
borer, was drawn first from a list of
90, l40 names. He gets his. choice of
100 acres of land from a total of ap-
proximately $4,000 acres thrown open
to settlement.
The lucky young man was employed
on construction crew at Standpoint,
Idaho, when notified of his good for
tune. Immediately he boarded train
for Spokane. En- route he was celeb
rity, the man of the hour, for the last
great land drawing has been a live
topic in the northwest for many
months. People came from all cor
ners of the United States to try their
luck.
Il registered some time ago, and
then forgot about it, so l was very
much surprised when told that my
name was the first one drawn" said
Lennon. II shall look over the reser-
walton thoroughly and locate on the
best quarter section available"
Five thousand five hundred names
were drawn, and among these are to
be distributed about $500 pieces of
land. The drawing of the first num-
bers was a dramatic affair. The
theater in which the drawing took
place was crowded, and thousands
were turned away. The names Of the
tens of thousands who had registered
were heaped on the stage, and four
little Spokane girls picked at random

Nebraska
REAYIS SAYS EAST
Is ALL FOR HUGHES
Candidate Making Good on
Stump and Voters Flock
ing to Him.
TALKS OF FARM LOAN BANK
(From a Staff Correspondent

Lincoln, Aug. 10.-(Special.) y
Things look mighty favorable for the
election of Charles E. Hughes, &C
cording to Congressman c. F. Reavis,
the First district representative from
Nebraska in congress.
Congressman Reavis came to Lin
coin today.
I'm my opinion" said the congress
man, "Mr. Hughes will carry New
York state by 100000. Some of my
colleagues in Washington make it
stronger than that and one of them
made bet the other day of 500 that
he would not have less than 100000
majority over Wilson. The east is
very strong for Hughes and is get
lting more so every day. They do not
take to the Wilson policies very we'll.
Makes Good on Platform.
Hughes is making good as CAM
paigner," continued Mr.. Reavis.
"There is a punch to his utterances
that convince people and CONSEQUENT
ly the more speeches he makes the
stronger the people are for him. l
am sorry he will not be in Nebraska.
took the matter up with him per-
sonally and also with the committee,
but they appear to think Nebraska is
in the republican column, as it prob
ably is, and that Mr.. Hughes can put
in his time to better advantage in
other states.
Wilson's Mexican policy looks to
me very weak. Our boys have been
called down to the border and nobody
appears to know how long they will
stay there. They were called for
the purpose of patroling the line to
keep the Mexican outlaws from COM
ing across. just as soon as they are
taken away the same old situation will
prevail, and it appears to me that if
the present policy is continued it
means an indefinite stay for the SOL
dier boys. 1t looks to me a great
deal like turning the hose on the
smoke to put the fire out, instead of
turning the water on the fire and put
ting out the blaze itself"
As to Farm Loan Bank.
Regarding the chances for landing
farm loan bank in Nebraska, Com
gresham Reavis said that if Omaha
and Lincoln would unite upon one
place or the other there was little
doubt but one. would land the bank,
but with the two forces contending
against each other it spoiled the
chances for both of them. However
Just at present he believed that Lin
coin had the best show for landing
the institution.
The congressman is home for the
short recess the house is taking and
will return to, Washington tomorrow
to be on deck when the house con-
yenes again Tuesday. He thinks the
final adjournment will come Septem-
Der L.. He left this afternoon for his
home in Falls City.

Without Pain or Bother
Modes Of Today.l

1t is not necessary to use painful
process to remove hairy growths, for
with little Gelatone handy you can
keep the skin entirely free from these

make stiff paste with little pow

on the hairy surface and in about 2
minutes rub off, wash the skin and
the hairs are gone. To guard against
disappointment, be careful to get real
delatone. -Advertisement.

TOWN FARM DINNER
Eighty Inmates Will PartalSe of
 Thanksgiving Repast of Chicken, / Vegetables and Fruits.


 Thanksgiving will be fittingly ob- served at the New Britain Town Farm tomorrow and eighty inmates will sit down to a sumptuous dinner at 12 o'clock.
 As in past years, the Thanksgiving dinner at the Town Farm will be an elaborate one, the principal number on the menu being chicken. All var ieties of vegetables will also be served as will cranberry sauce and fruit, the last named being selected as dessert this year instead of pie.
 To prepare the Thanksgiving din- ner for the eighty inmates of the home is no small task and some idea of the work may be realized when 1t is understood that twenty-five big chick ems have to be killed, dressed and cooked, and a bushel of potatoes, a bushel of turnips and a bushel and half of onions prepared. Tea or cof- fee will complete the dinner. Most of the edibles were raised on the farm.
 Mrs. George F. Kibbe, matron of the Town Home has been without the services of a cook for some time now and tomorrow will have to not only superintend the preparation for dinner but will have to cook it her self. Her only assistants are two in- mates who have some little ability for kitchen work.
