ASK CONGRESS-
TO APPROPRI
half MILLION
Money Needed to Make North
Platte Irrigation Project Sue
CeSSfuI; Ask Hitchcock
and Kinkaid to Help. =
From 4 sac correspondent.

Washington, ID. C., Jan. 23.-The
Gering and Fort Laramie irrigation
district organization, which has been
perfected according to letters re-
ceived today by Senator Hitchcock
and Congressman Kinkaid from Of
ficials of the enterprise, call upon
those gentlemen to assist in getting
specific appropriation of 100000
in the sundry civil bill for use on
this portion of the North Platte Ire
rigation project.
In other words the Gering and
Fort Laramie people want 100000
added to what congress will APP
propriate for the continuation of the
North Platte project. Otherwise,
they are afraid the appropriation
may be distributed to the disad-
vantage of the South Side ditch, as
it is known in that section of the
big sixth"
One paragraph of the letter says,
"The whole situation as if now ap-
pears is that large amount of
money has been expended to bring
the canal in sight of pay territory
but that it will be and remain an
expensive investment until such time
as funds are provided to continue
the work on as large a scale as the
previous expenditure will justify.
Both Senator Hitchcock and
Judge Kinkaid inspected this par
ticular portion of the North Platte
project last year and are familiar
with its needs.

18th Artillery Band
Wants instruments
and Tour the State

The band of the One Hundred
Twenty-seventh field artillery had
planned to play in Omaha and tour
the state after their discharge, but
separating at Newport News and be-
ing sent to the camp nearest their
homes, broke up the plan.
Some of the lads in the band lived
as far away as Texas and Of course
cannot be reached at this time. How
ever, some of the boys think they
can get enough of the boys living
in Nebraska to make up a small band
and go through with the original
plans.
The Omaha boys feel that a tour
can be arranged yet, and if eli the
players haven't instruments, they be-
lieve it possible to borrow them for
that purpose from Bee readers. II
you have band instrument you may
lend it to the boys for the period
covering the tour.

Railroad Earnings Lees in
1918 Than Previous Year

Washington, Jan, 23.-Railroads
in 1918 under government control
and unusual war conditions earned
about $7lS,000,O0O or Szs,oOOOoOoOO
less than in 1917, $37O,000,0OO less
than in the record year of 1916 and
about the same as in 1915.
This became apparent TODAY on
the basis of definite reports to the
Interstate Commerce commission OF
earnings of l52 railroads-those hav-
ing annual operating revenues OF
more than ST 1000, 000-for II months
and official calculation of De-
cember earnings, which realroad adj
ministration reports indicate will be
considerably smaller than those OF
the preceding months.
Reports from freight, passenger,
express and other transportation
during the year amounted to ap-
proxin1ately $4.S73,0O0,OOO or $685.
100000 more than in the previous
year. Operating expenses jumped to
about $3,971 10000 or about $1,l1o,-
100000 more than in the preceding
year.

You Can't Brush Or
Wash Out Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid Of
iandruff 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
tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning,
most if not all, of your dandruff
will be gone, and three or four more
applications will completely dissolve
and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace Of it, no matter how
much dandrnff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop al
once, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times better,
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive and
never fails to do the work. ADV.
