Dandruffy Heads
Become Hairless

II you want plenty Of thick, beau
tiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all
means get rid of dandruff, for it
will starve your hair and ruin it if
II It doc doesn't u do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dis
solve it, then you destroy it entirely.
To do this. get about four ounces of
ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at
night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in
gently with the finger tips.
By morning, most if not all of
your dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely de-
stroy every single sign and trace of
It.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop,
and your hair will look and feel a
hundred times better. You can get
liquid arvon at any drug store. It is
inexpensive and four ounces is all
you will need, no matter how much
dandruff you have. This simple
remedy never fails.-Adv.

ParoIed Bridegroom
Had Led Riotous Life;
Bride Asks Divorce

Within II days after their marriage
in Papillion, July 81, 1918, Theresa
E. Herman discovered that her hus-
band, Leo Andrew Herman, was on
parole from the state penitentiary,
had forged checks, sold mortgaged
property drank with cabaret girls
and would abuse and choke her on
occasion. Tuesday she filed suit for
divorce.
Leo led her to believe he was an
honest, Woodworking man, govern
ment meat inspector, according to
the divorce petition flied in district
court.
The petition says the bridegroom
forged a check the same day they
were married. When they went to
Chicago on honeymoon tour, he
forged two checks on her cousin.
For this he was sent back to the
state penitentiary. He didn't tell
her he had been behind the bars be-
fore for fear she wouldn't marry
him, he said.
While they were in Chicago, he
told her he had met cabaret girl
and was drinking with her. The
bride demonstrated, whereupon he
abuced and choked her, the petition
says. -....
He never worked a day during
their brief welded life.

FARMERS MUST
CROW more and
CHEAPER FOOD
All Labor Needed for AgriCul-
turaI Work Available; Must
Meet Prices Paid in
Other Industries.

Farm labor and high cost of liv-
ing problems after the war occu-
pied the Nebraska Farmers con
gress session in the Hotel Castle
Tuesday evening. I've
There is no labor shortage and
will not be during 1919, The
trouble is it will be high-priced, ?"
said Prof. H. c. Filley of the Un-
versity of Nebraska, chief speaker
in the discussion led by c. w.
Pugsley of Lincoln, editor of the
Nebraska Farmer.
THE farmer can have all the
labor he needs if he will pay the
price paid by other industries. The
important question for him to de-
eide is whether the price Of his
products will be high enough to per-
init him to compete with the rail-
roads, mines and factories in wages
and hours of labor" he Said. "The
trend of the market price for corn.
butter fat and eggs is perhaps the
best criterion that he can use to
forecast what may be expecteC for
other farm products"
Demand More Food.
Manufacturing and Commercial.
interests are demanding that the
farmer produce more food and
Cheaper food If the farmer pro-
duces more food will he pro.
duce it cheaper? To produce
more food we must either in.
crease the yield per acre or else
bring more land into cultivation. II
we increase the yield per acre more
labor is necessary, which, at the
present price for labor means an
increased cost per bushel. The fact
is that the farmers are already pro-
ducing as cheaply as possible.
Farm products have decreased in
price, he emphasized, The Food ad-
ministration, Manufacturers, and or
gained labor have all urged the
necessity of cheaper food. and have
placed the responsibility of the pres
ent retail prices upon the farmer.
Many manufactured articles, such as
Mans AuAAADCiA NNlllNlltJ SlOCSg anu
bingham are higher in price now
than they were six months ago with
no apparent prospect of a decline"
Need Cheaper Market Facilities.
Economical marketing preeedes
the production of farm products in
importance as reconstruction
problem, Prof. Filley believes.
Marketing is carried on less eff
GENTLY than either manufacture or
agriculture. 1t should be the logical
point of attack in the lowering of
prices. To eliminate waste and ex-
cess profits in marketing means to
lower the cost of living. A reduced
cost of living will permit the pay
ment of lower wages. A lowering
of wages will reduce the cost of
manufactured goods. The decrease
in wages and decrease in the cost of
manufactured goods, such as wire,
clothing, and farm machinery, will
lower the farmers cost of produc-
ton, which will in turn lower the
cost Of food and clothing"

To be possessed of a head OF

druff, is merely matter of using a
little Danderine.
II is easy and inexpensive to have
nice, soft hair and lots of it. just
get small bottle Of Knowlton's
Danderine now-alI drug stores rec
ommend it-apply little as direct
ed, and within ten minutes there
will be an appearance of abundance
freshness, fluffiness and an incom-
parable gloss and lustre, and try as
you will, you can not find trace of
dandruff or falling hair; but your
real surprise will be after about two
weeks use, when you will see new
hair-fine and downy at first-yes
but really new hair-sprouting
out all over your scalp-Danderine
is, we believe, the only sure hair
grower, destroyer of dandruff and
cure for itchy scalp, and it never
fails to stop falling hair at once,
If you want to prove how pretty
and soft your hair really is, moisten
a cloth with a little Danderine and
carefully draw it through your hair
taking one small strand at a time.
Your hair will be soft, glossy and
beautiful in just a few moments
a delightful surprise awaits every
one who tries this.-Adv. :

P R SITIONS
READY TO LAUNCH
Country About to Witness a
Wave Of Prosperity, NOrthey
Tells ROtarianS; Hesitate
to Release Capital.

Bolshevism is ever ready to take
advantage of a situation of unrest,
Fred L. Northey, governor of the
10th district International Associa-
ton of Rotary clubs, declared yes
terday afternoon at the final session
of conference in the Masonic temple.
Mr.. Northey warned the producers
and manufacturers of the country
that the time had come for a re-
duction in war profits and recon-
mended that a simultaneous reduc-
ton in wages should not take, place.
There are many business propo-
sitions readySto be launched" he
said, "and the country is about to
witness a wave of prosperity, the like
of which l believe seldom has swept
the land. However, a feeling of un-
rest prevails following conditions
created by the war.
Don't Cut Wages.
Business men are playing safe
and hesitate to release capital which
means employment for thousands of
men whose protests against a redue-
tlon in wages will be echoed by the
bolsheviki and seized upon to
strengthen a doctrine, which we do
not want to become rampant in this
country. Time will remedy any
semblance on the part of few. In
order to deny the obnoxious element
pretext, | believe employers of
labor should proceed slowly in the
matter of reducing wages"
Invitations were extended by
Sioux Falls, Burlington and Des
Moincs for the next conference,
which will meet in February, 1920.
The invitations will be taken under
consideration by the presidents of
"a clubs in the district and the meet

Mr.. Ufford is operating an incu-
bator Of 10000 eggs and in addition
to his explanations OF the various
fine points in making the operation
of incubators an art, he sketched
the growth of incubation from the
early Egyptian and Chinese customs,
where eggs were Matched in clay
ovens large enough for the mana
gers themselves to enter, up to the
modern incubators, such as the one
in Ohio, which is capable Of hatch
ing over 10000 eggs,
S. f. Munsen, who has charge of
the Omaha branch of the extension,
presided at the meeting and re-
quested an open session at the close
for questions and suggestions.
People are learning that division
of labor extends to agriculture, as
well as to other industries" said MIR
Ufford. Farmers are depending
more and more upon incubators, but
also they are reaching out beyond
this to the purchasing of the little
chicks, Matched by one whose bust
ness this is entirely. They are not
relying upon the possibilities of mis-
haps of individual incubators as
much as formerly. This movement
commenced in the east and is
spreading through the middle west"

in the course and it is open to
