ARTILLERY FIRE

While was cleaning out the waste

couple of pasteDoards calling for the

for the Bijou. see by the program
that "1zzy Back From the War" is the
big laugh for the evening, and

while the jazz reads the ads on the

Well. settles down for a pleasant
evening as soon as the big picture
shoots up and the Dancing Chicks
trip out and start the ball rolling.
There's nine of them this week. Mon

lead to the altar by getting caught in
a. seyen-eleyen game. He reads in
the paper that another Icy Cohen
has been appointed a jigadier bringle
in the army: So he impersonates
said Mister Cohen and beats it to war
or rather to Jail. And then the fun
begins. Of course the real general
has to show up later on, but that's all
in the show and it works out all
right.
= Of course the first thing | do when
pick up the program is to find out
what the trio is going to pull off in
the way of music. Those boys can
sure sing. but the orchestra is still
playing too loud, and of course there's
a lot of harmony lost to those out in

do, duck into the. Bijou tonight and

Charles Barron, Democratic orator

Florence Man Has Idea
To Beat the U-B0at Game

John O'Rourke of Florence has a
device which he thinks will cut down
the advantage which the submarines
now have over the boats of the allies.
His idea is to equip the ships with
shield which slants into the water
and which will catch the torpedo as it
approaches and either break its force,
causing it to explode before it comes
in contact with the ship proper, or to
cause the torpedo to shoot upward
when it hits the DETECTING shield and
thus keep it away from the vital
parts of the ship.
Mr.. O'Rourke says that although
his Continuance will slacken the speed
of the ship it will not be necessary to
put the shield into the water until
the submarine zone is reached and
then that a matter of few hours
does not count as much as the safety
of the boat.
He has applied for patent and has
also sent the drawings to the Navy
department.

Comes to Grief for Taking

Albert Johnson, caramel-colored

Even Police Judge Madden admitted

Tuesday night before the moon had

the home of Claude H. Chnsty's

take therefrom five live chickens.
1t was, perhaps, his anxiety to turn
the palate-pleasing birds over to his
sweetheart that caused him to quick

street. Officer Farrand of the motor
cycle squad was the only obstacle be-
tween Johnson and his banquet.

CHARGED With DeSertion

William Jensen of Omaha, private
of Company c of the Fourth Ma

sertion. He asserts he was absent
from his company on account of ill
ness.
Colonel Baehr of the regiment as
serts Private Jensen should have re-
Z ported and received medical atten-
ton from surgeons of the regimental
lstaff if he was sick. Failure to do
this, in accordance with military reg
ulations, will result in a court-martial
for Jensen, the colonel says.
Private SEEK, alleged to be de-
serter from the Illinois guard, was ar
rested in Council Bluffs and is now in
the Fort Crook guard house, Colonel
Baehr says.
Over a score of other alleged de-
serters from the guard are being
sought and will be court-martialed
soon. The court for this purpose will
be appointed this week. .. .

Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle. a.. -.
The best. thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for it is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store,
and a few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about 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 han
die. Besides, it loosens and takes out
every particle of dust, dirt and dan
uff.-Advertisement.

HELP YOUR GARDEN
BY ENRICHING SOIL
Don't Let Your Neighbor Haul
Away Manure When You
Need It.
HEAR HOW IT MAY BE DONE
" By A. R. GROH.

Have you put fertilizer on your gar
den or potato patch?
Amateur gardeners who are helping
with the food supply this year must
not forget that. Many of these city
and suburban gardens are on weak
soil. They are just hungry for fer
tilizer.
I'll tell you how fertilized my gar
den with something that my neighbor
didn't want.
have quite considerable patch
that | spaded UP with my own lily
white hands. The man across the
alley has two horses. He has to haul
a wagonload of manure down to the
dump every week or two.
Here" says | to myself, ''is place
where / can get something that my
garden needs and at the same time
save the man across the alley long
haul to dispose of the manure"
You see, it was one of those kill
Notwithstanding propositions.
The man across the alley was delight
ed to dump a load of manure inside
our. back fence. He spread another
load of manure over the garden of
man farther down the street.
It Makes Taters Grow.
Il am we'll aware, Mrs. Grundy, that
manure" is not delicate and ere
fined" word. 1t shocks your tender
susceptibilities and your refined"
mind, does it? Well, a fig for your
tender susceptibilities and another fig
for your refined" mind. We don't
care how much they get shocked if
we can make more taters grow.)
As was saying, gardeners, when
this gossipy old girl interrupted us,
ask your neighbor or the man across
the alley for load of manure to put
on your garden or potato patch. He
will greet the proposition with joy be-
cause he's helping himself while he's
helping you. 0.
Spade the manure under as much
as possible where you haven't planted
anything yet. 1t is good also when
placed on. top between rows, not COW
ering or touching the plants.
Gets Expert Advice. g.,
l interviewed practical man in
the Twentieth Century Farmer office
on this subject and he spoke further,
thus:
Il am going to put manure all along
between the rows in my potato patch
I'll put it four or FIVE inches deep on
top of the ground This is good
plan for two reasons. The rain will
carry down the fertilizer to the plant
roots and the manure on top of the
ground will keep the weeds from
growing"
You can do the same thing in
cornfeld or in anything that grows
in rows. For your small garden
truck, like lettuce or radishes, he told
me good scheme to get fertilizer to
: the plant roots quickly.
Take an old BARREL" he said, "and
bore some holes in the bottom. Set
it up on bench or rack. Pack it full
of manure. Then pour water on top.
Let the water seep through and run
out of the bottom Catch it in tub
or pail. Sprinkle. this water on your
garden. After the strength of this
manure has seen used up, fill the
barrel with fresh manure. The old
manure can be used as a mulch"
around trees or bushes to keep the
ground from drying out"
Don't let your neighbor haul ma
nure off to the dump when it is needed
on your garden.
