Randall X. Brown, president of the
Commercial club and member of the
joint Commercial club and Real
Estate Board committee which
worked for the location of a canton
ment camp at Omaha, said: 81 am
surprised at Des Moines being chosen.
However, we feel that Omaha still has
chance for a similar camp, for when
we were at Chicago we were told that
bill is recommended to congress by
the army staff, providing for sixteen
more cantonment camps. If this goes
through, Omaha will still be in the
race. We have assurance besides that
the army posts now at Omaha will, be
filled UP with troops, and it is likely
that additional facilities of some kind
will have to be provided at Omaha.
We learn also that there is talk OF en-
larging the quartermaster depot here"

Mayor Dahlman made certain that
Sutton said "Pipkin, Barta and I'm

Commissioner Kugel made this
statement from his chair:
81 deny that I.remarked to any
body that l was pleased at the out
come of the Chadron hearing. When
these charges were filed against Ma
loney it was the understanding that
they should be held pending final
disposition of the Chadron case and
then hold the general investigation OF
the department as an independent
matter.
81 did say that l believe that Ma
loney or any man of the department
who was bound over to district
court should be suspended pending
determination of his case. | did not
know that Maloney was involved in
| this affair until | returned from Bur-
! lington."
DO you know anything more re-
garding Maloney?" asked Butler.

ROM" asked Attorner Baker.

Sutton came to my home when |
was i'll. The nurse had denied visi-
tors, but she admitted Sutton. He
said he had something very important
to tell me. He mentioned the name
of the Omaha Detective association
in connection with blackinail scheme
at Chadron and said it looked as if
some of our men were connected with
the affair. | told him to follow up the
case and go to Chadron if necessary.
No names of members of the police
department were mentioned to me at
that time"
Didn't you have enough interest
in the matter to ask Sutton who might
have been involved" asked Baker.
81 was not we'll at the time and ex-
pected Sutton would report back to

Janitor Hangs Up German
C0IOrS THROUGH Mistake

A breach of American etiquette was
unintentionally made last week by a
well-meaning janitor at the First Ma
tional bank building. When told to
unpack all the American flags he could
find and unfurl them on the building
to help boost the Liberty bond CAM
paign, he obeyed orders, never MOTTO
ing that one of the flags bore the Ger
man colors. Evidently it had been
slowed away for long time with the
rest.
One of the directors of the United
States National bank, noticing the
enemy's flag, inquired, of his neigh
bors, the First National bank authori-
ties, the reason for the appearance of
the flag. To their horror, they saw
the mistake. Needless to say, the
janitor, lost no time in hauling down
the flag.

LET NOT BATHS Be
STOPPED BY WAR
Price Of Soap Scars, But You
Can Meet That Situation
by Buying 1t by
the Box.
By A. R. GROH.

Is the great American institution OF
soap to. go next into the limbo of for
gotten things? Are we to be deprived
of this luxury by the ruthless hand OF
war?
It's a serious question, citizens.
A woman went into a Sixteenth
street store the other Gay and asked
for three cakes of her favorite toilet
soap. She handed the clerk 25 cents.
Its s. cents now," said the clerk,
because OF the war"
well, I'll get it somewhere else,
then" said the woman and she
hounced out in righteous indignation.
She entered another store, ordered
the same soap and handed the clerk
quarter.
"Its IS cents now," said the clerk.
She took it.
What Can You Do3
And this is the sad story all along
the soap line. .$
Here is toilet soap we have sold
for years at 10 cents, three for quar-
ter" said Sixteenth street druggist.
Nov it is IS cents, three for IS cents.
Ivory that we sold at a and 5 cents a
cake is now 7 cents. Here's line of
shaving sticks, powders and creams
which sold at 20 cents. They are 25
cents now. Here's soap, sold for
years at three cakes for quarter,
They are II cents straight now"
Yes, friends, it's on account of the
war.
Said a soap manufacturer: "Lye and
soda ash factories in this country are
working night and day and they are
supplying domestic demand only on
existing contracts, shipping all they
possibly can abroad.
Costs Three Times as Much.
1--WE are paying just twice as much
now for animal fats and vegetable oils
as we were last fall. Glycerine that
was selling at IS cents pound year
ago is now selling at as cents pound.
Before the war 50 per cent of our
glycerine came from abroad. That
supply is all cut off now.
Besides all this we have to contend
with the much higher prices Of paper
and boxes and the price Of labor is
higher also"
So you see, the soap men have a
good alibi. .
A few stores still have supply Of
Bocabelli, a Spanish CASTLE soap at
the old prices. CASTLES imported
from Italy are scare and high.
What then, is to be done? Are we
to forego the Saturday-night luxury?
No! A thousand times no. That
step is unthinkable. Never shall we
submit to such an alternative. Amid
the crash of nations we never shall
undergo that privation.
The solution is at hand. The South
Sixteenth street druggist told it to me.
1t is this: Buy your soap by the
dozen cakes or by the box.
"A soap" he said, "that sells for
13 cents a cake is only $l,30 dozen.
In other words, you get a dozen
cakes for the price you would pay for
ten cakes if you bought them one at
a time. You get two cakes free when
you buy dozen.
Besides, soap will wear longer
when it is aged The older soap
gets, the less moisture it contains and
consequently the longer it lasts.
Here is the economical solution,
friends. And the bath shal! continue
in its pristine glory, undimtned by the
clash of war.
