NEBRASKA BOYS
GIVEN WELCOME
At new YORK
State Not Only Greets Fight
ers, But Asks They Be
Sent Right Home
to Jobs.

Nebrask a's "own" fighters, both
soldiers and sailors. receive their
first touch of home, for which they
have been yearning so long, upon
entering the Nebraska hall in the
Hall of States at New York City.
The warmth with which the Ne
braska hospitality committee greetS
returned soldiers Of the state it rep
resents is unsurpassed, declare
many of the boys who have been
the objects of its efforts. The COM
mittee is enabled to greet the men
so warmly because its members
know that the folks at home sup
port it.
Not only does Nebraska demand
that its sons be welcomed in a
manner appropriate to their sacri-
fees, but it also asks tina. they be
sent right back to jobs waiting for
them in their home state.
The word from half dozen cities
in Nebraska has been:
Send all Our boys back as soon
as possible. Nebraska is facing the
busiest kind of a spring and needs
all her workers"
Representatives Of the Omaha
Chamber of Commerce lay par,
ticular emphasis on this fact. Omaha
needs help. 1t can accommodate
with jobs every one of its citizens
who we're eager to give their all for
the good of their country.
The other cities of the state are
also represented in the hall by their
chambers of commerce. All are
eager to extend aid and welcome to
former residents of their commun-
ity.

humber HOMES
TO SUFFER MOST
FROM DEAR ICE
Driver for Big Ice Company
Is Fined for Giving Short
Weight to Omaha
Hospital.

The class of people hit hardest by
the increased price of ice is the class
least able to bear the burden. The
well-to-do are able to- obtain the
benefit of coupon book discounts, or
they may drive their automobiles to
one of the ice plants or to one Of
the municipal ice stations, and OBJ
tain 100 pounds for as low as 80
cents.
1t is different with the occupants
of humble homes where there may
be an infant in warm weather, or
where there may be sickness, or
even when home conditions are nor
NAL. Most of this class depends on
wagon deliveries. The housewife
or one of the children watches for
the ice man and frequently the pur-
chase is 5 or 10 cents, or it may be
IS cents now and then. Under the
new price, the poor man or woman
pays Is cents for Is pounds at the
wagon or truck. Those better able
to pay the increased price have
time and conveniences to 60 after
their ice if they want to, and many
are getting the maitland they may
get it at the rate of 80 cents per
hundred pounds at one plant, IS
cents at another, or 50 cents at a
third plant.
Fined For Short Weight.
In addition to the boost in prices,
drivers who give short weight are
said to be working in large num-
bers in Omaha. In police court yes
terday morning George Ryan, an
employe of the Omaha Ice and Cold
Storage Co., was fined SIS and costs
by Judge Foster.
Ryan is alleged to have short
weighted the Omaha Presbyterian
hospital more than ESQ pounds of
ice last Tuesday.
Five hundred pounds of ice were
ordered by the hospital officials that
day. Two hours after the ice was
delivered City Weight Inspector
Long weighed the ice on city scale
and found only I'll pounds.
City Prosecutor Murray stated to
the court just UclOIc TIC 1lIlC was
imposed that this was the second
time the company was involved in a
case of this kind
What Ice Barons Say.
The officers of the large ice plants
were quizzed as to their willingness
and ability to sell ice at their plants
at reduced rates. They all stated
they would sell ice at the plants.
but none would state specifically to
what extent. The sale of ice in
snail amounts is not encouraged at
the plants, but if a person is able
to go after it with conveyance
they said they would sell in quanti-
ties of 800 or 400-pound cakes, or in
half or whole ton lots. Three or
400 pound cakes do not interest the
average ice consumer of small
means.
One of the big ice men stated that
he would sell 800 or 400-pound
cake at his plant at the rate of 80
cents per hundred pounds, or If a
cake had to be cut the charge would
be at the rate Of 50 cents per hun

lily service as meeting place for
men from all states. Here they can
find home folks waiting to welcome

One wounded man, who felt very
forlorn in New York, gave Mrs. Ef-
fie Leese Scott, from Lincoln, who
has charge of the Nebraska desk
the following message for Nebraska
ard for all relatives of soldiers else
where besides:
When man from overseas gets
to New York and telegraphs home,
fol- Gods sake answer at once by
telegraph. Don't let him eat his
heart out here waiting for word

This was the message of Pvt
John Hofey of Falls City, who
fought with the 355th infantry until
he fell near Verdun. Now his left
leg is gone. When he arrived a.
Debarkation hospital No. 5, here, he
wired to his family in Falls City
When he didn't hear from them in
week he wrote to the Nebraska
desk at the Hall Of States, asking
that someone call on him. Mrs
Scott responded, and, for the sake
OF other pen who might be lying
there wounded, he asked her to send
OF: his message.
The Society of Daughters of Ne.

is aided by Mrs. J. A. Andrews and

Be Careful What You
Wash Your Hair With

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is
very injurious, as it dries the scalp
and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Mulsified
cocoanut oil shampoo, for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap and beats anything else
all to pieces. You can get this at any
drug store, and a few ounces will
last the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with wat
er and rub it in, about a teaspoonful
is all that is required. It makes an
abundance Of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh-looking,
bright, fluffy, wavy, and easy to
handle. Besides, it loosens and takes
out every particle Of dust, dirt and
dandruff.-Adv.
