BUICK AUTOS RIDE
ON CIRCUS TRAIN
Nebraska Buick Auto Company
Solves Big Problem in
Big Way.
FIRST LOAD THIS WEEK

Lee Huff, manager of Nebraska
Buick Auto company, says. Should
you happen to see circus train pull
ing into Omaha you do not want to
be mislead into believing that Ring
ling Bros. are going to put on win
ter circus. He hates to disappoint all
the small boys who usually attend
the unloading of such trains and he
also hates to disappoint the many Cir
Gus fans in Omaha, but when the COW
ers are taken off of the supposed
chariots and animals cages. it will be
great surprise to see instead nothing
but Buick automobiles
Making Way.
For many months past the automo-
bile distributors in this section OF the
country have been unable to secure
any freight cars in which to ship their
automobiles. However, it remained
for the Nebraska Buick Auto COM
pany to overcome this condition,
which they did by renting Ringing
Bros. entire circus train until the be
ginning of the show season. They will
load the train at the Buick factory,
shipping it to Omaha, where the cars
will be unloaded and driven out into
the states of Nebraska and Iowa. The
train will be returned empty to the
factory, loaded again and shipped back
to the Omaha branch.
In this manner Mr.. Huff expects
to have train load of Bucks in Oma-
ha every other week. The first train
load will be in Friday or Saturday.

answer to the heavy demand for the

is here for inspection. Each person
who has male an inspection of the
Davis car invariably remarks that
every unit is absolutely standard and
as good as mo. ey can buy.
I'VE are always more than pleased
to demonstrate our car. The public
today knows the advantage of buying
car built of standard units ard is
demanding it; consequently, we are

Combing Won't Rid
Hair of Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid of
dandruff is to dissolve it, then you
destroy it entirely. To do this, get
about four ounces of ordinary liquid
arvon; apply it at night when retir-
ing; use enough to moisten the scalp
and rub it in gently with the finger
lips.
Do this tonight, and by morning
most if not all of your dandruff will
De gone, and three or four more APP
plications will completely dissolve
and entirely destroy every single sign
and trace of it, no matter how much
dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel hundred times better
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive and
never fails to do the work.-Adv.

that can be hoasted by any one club
in the majors today. His work this
season has been consistently brilliant,
for he has held opposing clubs to a
verr low percentage Of runs, and has
exhibited the best control that he has
shown in any season since he came
to the major leagues in 1913.
Because of the fact that the Giants
are notably leak against left Flanders,
II Is believed that Russell will be dele
gated to pitch at least two games In
the big classic next month, and IL he
is Chicago fans will be behind him
with all their dough.
Russell is one Of the very few
southpaws who made good In his FIRST
trial as a major Lacquer. and that Is
saying something. He looked so good
when Comiskey first secured him that
the Old Roman offered him a three
year contract, and he has proven that
Commy's confidence In his ability was
not misplaced.
Bonham. in the Texas-Oklahoma
league, gave Russell his first profess
contract back in 1912. The
following yea he was with the Fort
Worth club in the Texas league, and
in the fall of that year he was trans
ferred to the White Sox by selection
In the draft. He cost Comiskey only
$3.50.

"Reb" Russell, as he is commonly

that he IL a bit eccentric. There was
4 time when he regretted the fact thai
he was bound to the Sox by a three
year contract, for three years g the
Tederals came to him with alluring
offers. and the salary called for by
his contract was far below the figure
offered him bv the outlaws.
But Russell Is mighty glad TO be

be given the opportunity to do his bit.

TECHS TEAMS NOW
DOWN TO BUSINESS

Especial to The Richmond ~virginian.)
Blacksburg. Va. Sept. 26.-With
the preliminary work about finished.
Coach Bernier gave the Tech squad
a lively ten-minute scrimmage this
afternoon. All four teams had a
chance TO show what they could do
and they were all thoroughly tagged
out When they returned to the field
house about dark.
1t looks as though Bernier will have
two dependable backs in Godsey and
Peyton. Both of these men carry
the ball we'll and smash the line like
veterans. Parrish and Younger. let
ter mel of last year, were in the
lineup and played as in mid-season
form. Eddie Roden worked at quar-
ter and ran his team with precision
and snap. Roden is showing Won
derfut Improvement under Berrier's
tutelage and will make a strong hid
for quarter this season. Mcneil, the
heavyweight guard of last years
squad, returned to college today. He
VIII probably go after the position
of left guard made vacant by Hooks
Moore, who Is at Fort Myer.
The Yale date on Techs schedule
has finally ben filled by Emory and
Henry college. 1t was hoped that
Georgia Tech would take this date,
but this was impossible owing to
their already filled schedule. Emory
and Henry is coached by Dave Par
rtsh. former Tech star halfback. and
for this reason the gama is antici-
pated with keen interest by the stu
dent body.
