VALUES AsToUND WOMEN
News of Genuinensss of Values
Spreads Broadcast - Women
Rushing to the Partisan to
Purchase Spring Attire
at Y, u and u Off.
SELECTIONS STILL GOOD

1t doesn't take long for news to
travel, especially so when the news
refers to an immense saving on all
the outer garments a woman Will
need during glorious spring
season.
About the greatest speeded"
news ever passed from lip to lip
between Omaha women has been
the news of the remarkable "close-
out" sale of The Partisan Cloak
Co, at 31S-320 South Sixteenth
street. The Partisan, as you know,
is soon to be without home, be-
cause of the early tearing down OF
the building that houses their
establishment. "The Wreckers are
Coming" means that the brawny
knights Of the pick, shovel and ak
will soon level the entire Partisan
property to the ground to make
room for a new and larger struc-
ture which is to be reared upon
the same spot.
The Partisan, therefore, is to
close out its business. The word
went forth from managers lips to
"Cut, cut" to clover the prices"
so as to sell every article Of wear
ing apparel in the house at one
fourth, one-third and one-half off.
This, of course, applied only to
new spring goods, for The Partisan
hasn't half dozen pieces of the
past seasons stock remaining.
Now, then, if you want to secure
a bargain that will dwell in your
mind for years to come, be here
Monday morning, for some Of the
greatest values of the sale will be
offered then. IT'S true gigantic
inroads have been made on this
stock and thousands Of garments
have already been sold, but there
still remains very creditable
showing of Suits, Dresses, Coats,
Skirts, Petticoats, ETC., for The
Partisan stock in the first place
was tremendously large-quite the
largest of its kind in Omaha.
Several shipments have arrived
within the past few days, goods
upon which the New York makers
would not accept countermands,
and these garments, coming as
they do at the last moment, Just
after The Partisan received orders
to "get out" must be disposed of
just as quickly and as earnestly
as the regular stock, and at the
same reductions.
Remember, 318-320 South Six
teenth street, the location of The
Partisan Cloak Co., is at present
the most vital trading spot for
Omaha women, who desire all that
is good and stylish in wearables
at really trifling prices.
And, bear in mind, absolutely
without a grain of disbelief, "The
Wreckers arc Coming"

NOW TO JUDGE A WOMAN
BY HER HAIR

There is real common sense in just
noticing whether the hair is well kept
to Judge of woman's neatness, or
good taste. If you are one of the few
who try to make the most of your
hair, remember that it is not advis-
able to wash the hair with any
cleanser made for all purposes, but
always use some good preparation
made expressly for shampooing. You
can enjoy the very best by getting
some canthrox from your druggist,
dissolve a teaspoonful in cup Of hot
water. This makes full cup Of sham
poo liquid, enough so it is easy to ap-
ply it to all the hair instead of just
the top of the head. Dandruff, excess
oil and dirt are dissolved and entire
ly disappear. Your hair will be so
fluffy that it will look, much heavier
than it is. Its lustre and softness will
also delight you, while the stimulat-
ed scalp gains the health which in
sures hair Observation-Disclosures.

COTTON CROP is VALUABLE
Yield for Season of 1915 Was Worth
More Than Three-Quarters of
Billion Dollars to Growers.

Final figures compiled by Uncle
Sans census experts for the season
of 1915 show that the crop of cotton
and cottonseed was worth more than
$750,000,000. The production of H.
191,S 800 bales of cotton was worth S627,
100000 to the growers while the A.
$4,000 tons of cottonseed produced
was worth $167, 100000.
Texas alone produced 1927, ,4SC
equivalent 500-pound bales, or nearly
20 per cent of the total American crop
of 1915; while four states-Alabama
Georgia, South Carolina, and Texas
each with an output of more than l.
100000 bales-together produced near.
ly two-thirds of the crop.
According to the revised estimates of
the department of agriculture, the acre
age from which the crop of 1915 was
harvested amounted to 81 1,412, ,000-the
smallest since 1907. This reduction in
acreage was due to the demoralized
state of the cotton market following
the outbreak of the European war. The
average production of lint per acre in
1915, as estimated by the department
of agriculture, was 10 pounds, as
against 200 pounds in 1914, 1S2 pounds
in 1913, 191 pounds in 1912, and 20s
pounds In 1911.

FOREST ROAD FUND ALLOTTED
California Gets Largest Share of Mil.
lion Dollars to Be Spent by Uncle
Sam in Next Fiscal Year.

Secretary of Agriculture Houston
has announced the amount allotted to
each state from the $1,000,000 to
be spent by Uncle Sam during the fis-
cal year 1918 in constructing roads
and trails within or partly within the
national forests. This money is part
of the $10,000,000 appropriated by the
federal aid road act to assist develop
ment of the national forests, which be-
comes available at the rate of mil
lion dollars year for ten years.
The allotments as approved are as
follows: Alaska, $46,354; Arizona, $751;
6O4; Arkansas, $9,S03; California,
$14O,9SS; Colorado, $62,575; Idaho,
$1OS, ,73O; Montana, $7o,042; Nevada,
S19, ,296; New Mexico, $40, ,495; Oregon,
S12S,111; South Dakota, $S,092; Utah,
$41, ,167; Washington, $91,944; Wy
oming, $40,6S4. A total of S9,995 has
been allotted to Florida, Michigan,
Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota
and Oklahoma. The group of eastern
states-Georgia, Maine, New Hamp-
shire, North and South Carolina, Ten
nessee, Virginia and West Virginia
in which the government is purchasing
lands for national forests, receives
S21 ,120.
In making allotments, it is explained,
10 per cent of the amount available
for 1918 is withheld as n contingent
fund. One-half of the remainder has
been appropriated among the states in
amounts based on the area of the ma
tional forest lands in each state,
while the other half has been allotted
on a basis of the estimated value of
the timber and forage resources which
the forests contain.
