Commercial Club Of
Grand Island Complains
Of the Freight Service

Lincoln, June ll.-Because of the
consolidation of freight houses at
Grand Island by the government
administration of railroads, it is i'm
possible for shippers of perishable
goods to unload and have the freight
handled under the orders of the
state railway commission, accord
ing to a telegram reaching the
commission from E. L. Brown,
chairman of the traffic committee of
tn commercial club of that city,
Mr.. Brown says that the Bur-
lington refuses to accept loads of
perishable goods backed up to the
freight house at 4:l0 Tuesday ait
ernoon. The railroads, according to
Mr.. Brown, interpret the order OF
the commission so that the burden
is all thrown on the shipper. He
says that lack of platform s?,ce
sincethe government consolidated
the freight houses makes it impos-
sible to live up to the commissions
order made some time ago relative
to closing of freight houses at a
certain hour and requiring goods to
be on platform in time so they
could be handled. He says that e
lief must come Immediately.

matter Immediately.

Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with. -.
Most soaps and prepared shampoo.
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle,
and is very harmful. Mulsified co.
coanut oil shampoo (Which is pure
and entirely greaseless), is muck
better than anything else you can
use for shampooing, as this can't
possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two tea.
spoonfuls will make an abundance
of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses
the hair and scalp thoroughly. The
lather rinses out easily and removes
every particle of dust. dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves it
fine and silky, bright, fluffy and
easy to manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut
oil shampoo at most any drug store.

enough to last everyone in the fam
lily for months.-Adv. 81.

afternoon, in the ballroom of the

nearly 1000 bankers, to hold then
22d annual convention. There
was a full card of oratory, SC
full, in fact, that the automobile
ride about the city, planned for late

The convention was presided over
by w. S. Weston and the invoca,
ton was pronounced by Rev. f. H
jerks, of the First Presbyterian
church of Omaha.
The bankers were welcomed to
the city by Mayor Smith, who as
sured them that while he had
greeted many assemblages in Oma-
ha, there were no men for whom he
had more respect than for the
bankers of Nebraska. He referred
to them as men who in the comlnun-
tiles in which they reside are looked
up to socially and as thorough, re-
liable and substantial business men.
The mayor expressed the hope
that out of the meeting and out Of
other meetings of similar charac-
ter would be wrought methods that
would aid in bringing about peace
and prosperity to the entire world,
and peace that would maintain
for all time to come.

Governor Sends Out Letters
Regarding Suffrage Amend
ment; Writes Executives
of Neighboring States.

Lincoln, June 1l.-If the response
to the letters sent out by Governor
McKelvie show a feeling on the
part of a majority of the members
of the legislature that special SEES
sion should be called to pass upon
the adoption of a joint resolution
ratifying the national woman suf-
frage amendment to the constitu-
ton the governor will make the call.
In his communication sent out to-
day the governor says:
From information that | am
able to get from other states. it
appears that it will be practical
for Nebraska to have special
session of the legislature for the
purpose of considering the ratifi-
cation of the suffrage amendment
to the national constitution. I
shall be glad to have an express
sion of opinion from you bear
ing upon this subject, and would
like also a suggestion as to the
time when you think such ses-
sion should be called. If you have
other suggestions to make bear
ing upon the matter of "a special
session, shall be very glad to
have them"
The governor has also sent the
following message to the executives
of other states in an effort to dis
cover the sentiment along the line
of special sessions in states where
the legislature is not now in session
or will not be in time to give the
women a chance to vote at the next
presidential election.
l shall call a special session
of the Nebraska legislature if
enough other governors take
similar action to make it appear
&, that approval of the suffrage
amendment will be materially
fastened thereby l shall appre-
ciate it very much, therefore. if
you will advise me of the action
that you have taken or intend
taking in this matter.
