THIRTY DESERTERS
OF FOURTH SOUGHT
Comrades Hunt for Men Who
Left Without Permis-
sion.
DEATH OR IMPRISONMENT

Thirty desertcrs from the Fourth
Nebraska National Guard are being
hunted by their comrades in the
ranks, under orders Of Colonel w. E.
Baehr commanding the regiment.
Colonel Baehr says this number of
men have deserted from the Fourth
Guard since it was called into federal
service March 20.
"These yellowLstreak soldiers evil
IDENTIFY are afraid Of war service" says
Colonel Baehr. They do not realize
the seriousness of their ofense. When
arrested they will be court-marshaled
and punished. The law provides
death or Imprisonment as the penalty
for deserving from federal military
service in war time"
Some of the deserters are so re-
corded on the books of their COM
panies, because they have not re-
ported for duty since the call was
issued Others reported or enlisted
as recruits since the call and have
disappeared since then.
A majority of the desertions are
said to be from the Omaha battalion,
which received a number of enlist
ments Of men of the "hoater" class.
These are believed to have volun-
teered under a wave of temporary
patriotism, which wilted when the
work and discipline of camp and
guard life showed lem that there is
something beside glory and excite
ment in warfare.
The Fourth regiment comprises
about 1900 officers And men. The per-
centage of desertions is therefore over
per cent.
ave are glad to get rid OF the few
towards and fakes in our ranks" said
Colonel Baehr, but they will not go
unpublished if we capture them"

practice OF giving factory sites free to

In the smaller communities Is still In
vogue.
'"There are many towns well located

GIRLS! HAVE WAVY,
THICK, GLOSSY HAIR
FREE FROM DAND2UFF
Save your hair. Double its beauty
in a few Enoments-try this.

If you care for heavy hair, that
glistens with beauty and is radiant
with life; has an incompatible soft
ness and is fluffy, try Danderine.
Just one application doubles the
beauty of your hair, besides it i'm
mediately dissolves every particle OF
dandruff; you cannot have. nice, hea-
Wy, healthy hair if you have dan
druff. This destructive scurf robs
the hair of its lustre, its strength
and its very life. and if not over
come it produces feverishness and
itching of the scalp; the hair roots
famish, loosen and die; then the
hair falls out fast.
If your hair has been neglected
and is thin, faded, dry, scraggy OF
too oily, get a small bottle of
Knowlton's Danderine at any drug
store or toilet counter; apply a lit
tie as directed and ten minutes at
ter you will say this was the best
investment you ever made.
We sincerely believe, regardless of
everything else advertised, that if
you desire soft, lustrous, beautiful
hair and lots of it-no dandruff--
no itching scalp and no more fall
ing hair-you must use knowlton's
Danderine. If eventually-why not
