TWO CANDIDATES
ARE IN THE RACE
Martha Powell and Ruth
Pyrtle Seek Presidency of
Nebraska Teachers.
MEN OUT OF THE RUNNING

The contest for the presidency OF
the Nebraska State Teachers associa-
ton now rests between Martha
Powell, principal of the Long school,
Omaha, and Ruth Pyrtle, Lincoln.
Four names appear on the official bal
lot, however, as the letters of H. H.
Hahn, Wayne, and A. o, Thomas,
Lincoln, declining the nomination did
not reach the Office Of Secretary Graft
in Omaha until after the official bal
lots had been printed. There is a
legal limit Of time in which declina-
tions must be filed and these did not
get in in time.
E. U. Graft declined some time ago,
and as consequence his name did
not go on the ballot.
Only Two Real Candidates.
The result is, then, that the bal
lots, which will go into the mails
Monday morning, will contain the
names of Martha Powell, Ruth Pyrtle,
H. II. Hahn and O. A. Thomas, al
though the last two are not avowed
candidates. Letters from them de-
Ginning the nomination are OH file.
The Nebraska Women's Educa-
tional association, organized about a
year ago, promoted the candidacy of
Miss Pyrtlc, on the grounds that it
wanted a woman as president, since
so large percentage of the members
IN the state were women. The fact
that both avowed candidates are
women, in measure takes all the
strength out of the argument and
leaves those who are pledged to elect
a woman free to vote for either can
didate.
Miss Pyrtle is the candidate in
whose interest Miss Mary Foster of
Lincoln, one of the agents of the
Teachers Casualty Underwriters, was
working so hard before the conven-
ton of the association.
Thus by means of an advance cam
paign large vote was piled up for
Miss Pyrtle in the primary during the
convention. Miss Powell came in as
a kind of dark horse, however, and
piled up good vote The sentiment
is said to be strong in many parts of
the state for Miss Powell.
The candidates for treasurer are
John F. Matthews, Grand Island,
present incumbent, and G. A. Gregory,
Crete.
The ballots must be back in the
hands of the secretary by Decem-
Der J. The executive committee is
to be in Omaha to canvass the vote

No Dull Moments
Noted in Cooper's
Show at Gayety

A flock of choice, femininity swooped
down on OmsHa when "The Sight
seers," James E. Cooper's fantastic
burlesque, came to town. They opened
at the Gayety last night and made
things merry and alive as they roll
licked through their carnival of fun.
Will Kennedy, Jack Miller and
Harry Kelly are the comedy creators
and they kept things lively. Kathryn
Dickey, Flo Davis and Kitty Forsythe
are the Turing leading ladies and they
danced and sang their ways into the
hearts of the audience.
The show is unique. Several of its
scenes would do credit to any produc-
ton, no matter how pretentious. One
is The Palace of Chance" where
Harry Kelly takes the role of Satan.
Another stars Mr.. Kelly in 1.-THE
Country Club" where he acts the
dream of cocaine victim. 1t is a
weirdly realistic pantomime and won
several curtain calls.
The Carnival Four is a good quartet
of male voices whose rendition OF
You're a Wise, Red-Headed Nc
Nulty" and the "Yodle" song earned
the singers long stay on the stage.
Miss Forsythe, whose objections to
too much clothing is beautifully ap-
parent, drew repeated encores with
her Meet Me Down in Lamplight
Lane" when the whole chorus, dressed
in little more than embroidered lamp
shades, accompanied her.
Flo Davis is an athletic dancer who
can sing and the combination is a
winner with her Nashville" and "Sun
Shines in Virginia" Lottie Blackford,
who makes demure Salvation Army
sister. sings "I'll Save You" and gets
away with it with storm of approval.
Will Kennedy and Jack Miller play
the cymbals and drum for her army
and share the honors of applause.
No dull moments are found in the
whole program. Pep" is the watch
word of the entire troupe, making the
show good to see.

ufacturer's agent was on hand to ex-
plain the merits of the Howard make
of stoves and ranges.
Each visitor to the exhibit is en-
titled to a vote in a guessing contest,
the prize to be Howard steel range.
The guesses are on the weight of a
mammoth loaf of bread, which is
prominently displayed in the exhibit.
The range will be awarded to the
successful guesser next Friday eve
ming.

Lawyers Want New
Muny Court Laws

Numerous amendments to the mt,
nicipal court law in Nebraska are
desired by the Barristers' club OF
Omaha, and a committee has been ap-
pointed to draft these amendments
and see that they are introduced in
the legislature this winter. The com
mittee consists of J. P. Palmer, W. c.
Frazer and Richard Hunter.
They wish to make provision for
a change of venue from the justice
court to the municipal courts, to limit
the fees the justices in any county
may retain. and wish to c-ovide that
in municipal court cases in which the
claim is small and the parties unable
to pay, the court may remit the court
fees. Matters regarding permanent
quarters for the municipal courts are
also to be taken up.
George Holmes, c. w, Britt and
A. F. Baldwin, the three municipal
judges elected at the November cleo
ton, and the one remaining justice
Of the peace, H. G, Moran. spoke
briefly to the barristers a, the weekly
luncheon.

When Itching Stops

There is one safe, dependable treat.
ment that relieves itching torture and
skin irritation almost instantly and that
cleanses and soothes the skin.
Ask any druggist for a Csc or 81 bottle
of zemo and apply it as directed. Soon
you will find that irritations, pimples
black heads, eczema, blotches, ringworm
and similar skin troubles will disappear
A little zemo, the penetrating, salts

banishes ali slin eruptions and makes
the skin soft. smooth and healthy.

$3.50 a week, Miss Jackson explains
that it would be necessary for the
