good work is being done. Now alto,

proper effort Is put forth.
Don't know what to do with those
county schools who fail to report. As
easy as it is to 'phone in from any part
of the county 1t does seem that some
one from each school might put forth
the effort for the good of the cause
Woldn't it be fine to see thirty-twC
schools all in next weeks report?
When they do you will see the county
ahead of the city.

part went toward sustaining French

Washing Won't Rid
Head OF Dandruf

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 re-
firing; 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 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 a hundred times bet
ter.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive and
never fails to do the work.-Adv.

Three thousand Omaha colored

He told of many instances in
which he said prejudice against ne
groes was shown.
"Colored troops in France adopted
an axiom, voiced by a private one
night, 1T isn't the barrage ahead we
fear, it's the barrage of prejudice be-
hind u.s." said DR.. Dubois.
"Thers was a general tendency
among the staff officers of the Nine
ty-second division. a colored divi-
sion, to discredit the work of the
negro officers and privates. We ex-
pected an ordeal from this admins
tration, and we certainly got it.
"The French people treated us
royalty. The English, too, we're
fairly good to US, but prejudice
among the Americans was almost al
ways present to some extent"

SMITH PUTS ON
COPELAND'S SUIT
And IS IN JAIL
Two Soldier Boys, One From
Omaha, in Mixup on Cloth
ing After Pleasant Eve
Ming at Walnut, la.

Whether it was a raw and un-
completed practical joke or a real
theft has not been disclosed, but it
landed Guy Smith, Osceola soldier
boy, in the county jail at Council
Bluffs under $1,000 bonds to await
indictment by the grand jury. 1t
also permitted Jesse Copeland, dis
charged soldier from Omaha. to re-
cover his trousers and all the re-
mainder of his clothing except his
shoes and hat, which Guy had taken.
The incident occurred at Walnut,
Ia, Wednesday. highland the facts
came out yesterday morning. Smith
and Copeland had been intimately
acquainted for about a week. They
had seen all of the sights in Omaha
and Council Bluffs, and Wednesday
afternoon Copeland suggested that
they 60 to Walnut to attend DANCE.
They had a pleasant evening at the
dance, and spent the remainder of
the night at the village hotel. both
occupying the, same room. They
spent an hour or two playing cards
before retiring. Both lost and won.
Smith Ahead at Finish.
When the game was finished.
Smith was 81 ahead. He was gem
erous, and made bis friend take back
the money. Yesterday morning
Smith awoke first for the expected
late breakfast. Copeland was snor-
ing heavily. His trousers were
hanging on the bedpost and his suit
case was on a chair. Smith stuffed
the coat and vest of the suit into the
grip, pulled on the trousers over
his own, and quietly withdrew.
It was still a joke until Smith
reached the railway station and dis
covered Copeland's trousers pockets
were full of money. Then he board
ed the Rock Island train for the
Bluffs.
Police Are Notified.
When Copeland awoke he had no
clothing except a night shirt, hat
and shoes. He called for hotel
man, who soon learned that Smith
had gone away on a train. The
Bluffs police, Officers Barritt and
Callaghan were at the station to
meet Smith. He had all of Cope
lands clothes and $165 of his mon
ey. Copeland was 40 miles away
without cent and no clothes. Wal
nut people fixed him up in a rain
coat and some other unmatched
garments, bought ticket and sent
him to Council Bluffs.
Smith admitted the whole thing,
and the only discrepancy in the
statements of the two men is that
Smith said there was only $165 in
the pockets and Copeland asserted
there was $225.
