Dalrymple Girl
Missing; Left Her
Home to Go Skating

Failure on the part of Wilhelmina
Dalrymple, IS years of age, to return
home since Monday night, coupled
with the fact that she had not been
seen nor heard from by them since
that time, Thursday induced Mr.. and
Mrs. w. f. Dalrymple, 1902 South
Eighteenth street, to enlist outside aid
in a search for their daughter.
Mrs. Dalrymple declined to discuss
her daughters disappearance, other
than to say that the girl left home
Monday night and said that she in
tended to go skating. She did not
return and since then her parents
have not heard from her.
81 cannot imagine where she isl
cried the mother, but know she is

NEVILLE WILL HELP
SUNLESS SOLDIER
Clothing Problem Of Fourth Ne
braska Interests Members
Of State Legislature.
SICK MEN ARE BETTER

Governor Keith Neville, his staff
and members of the state legislature
will be at Fort Crook Saturday to
help decide the momentous question:
"Will the soldier boys be allowed to
wear their khaki uniforms home after
being mustered out? Will they have
to buy new suits, or will they have
TO 60 home in barrels?"
No grand review of troops or 9TH
err military pomp will mark the COM
ing of the governor and the law-rnak-
ers. Their visit to the post will be
i'll the nature of an unofficial call
for the business of solving the cloth
ing problem of the regiment.
The rub lies in the fact that Uncle
Sam conhscates the uniform of his
fighting man just as soon as the sol
der is mustered out.
Serious Problem.
OF course, all the boys are not
victims Of the clothing shortage. But
it is serious problem to those who
are. Many of the soldiers wrote home
after they were on the border for
few months and had seen their
waist line shrink and their chests ex-
pand, that their civilian suits would
hereafter be useless to them and in
structed the folks back home to give
the clothes away. Thus was charity
endowed heavily at Christmas from
the clothes closet of many Nebraska
trooper.
Colonel Eberly reports that the
three sick men are convalescent and.
If present progress continues, they
will be out of the post inhrmary
within week. w..
Robert +. Wilbur of Omaha, FIRST
sergeant OF machine gun company,
was honorably dismissed from serv-
ice Wednesday. His enlistment had
