NEGRO BOYS AMBITION
AROUSED BY FARM CLUB

A most interesting instance OF
aroused ambition is that of Sherman
Lynch, Negro boy of Edwards,
Miss, who is in a club supervised by
the Department of Agriculture and
the State colleges. Sherman joined
the Farm Makers Club, club es-
pecially designed for Negro boys, in
the fall of 1916. AS result of his
work last year he was able to deposit
$1CO in the Bank of Edwards. With
this 500 as an initial payment he has
purchased 30 acres of land from his
father, bargaining for the tract for
the sum of $500.

Both Parties For 1t.

Both Parties For 1t.
Republican leaders probably will
point to the hrst-day triumph of the
suffrage cause as an accomplishment
of their party but il is a fact that a
substantial majority OF the Democrats
favored the equal rights proposition,
while there were some Republicans
who voted against it.
Divided as to parties, the vote in
the Senate was: For suffrage, ii DEM
ocrats, 16 Republicans: against, 6
Democrats, Republicans. In the
House the division was: For suffrage
~ Republicans, % Dmocrats; against
Republicans, IS Democrats; absent,
1 Republican and > Democrats.
On the vote to substitute a State
wide suffrage amendment as refer
endum on the national issue the vote
in the Senate was % to Is against
such substitution. Twelve Democrats
and three Republicans supported the
motion made by Senator Harlan,
while eight Democrats and fifteen Re-
pubicans opposed it.
First Day Pointers.
Lieutenant Governor Ballard had a
busy day on the Senate tripod Some
OF the parliamentary proceedings
were a bit confusing, especially with
the vote so close, and the "clincher,"
which is to "move to reconsider the
vote by which the bill was passed,
and then lay the motion on the ia
ble.' was matter which had to be
explained to some new members. Mr..
Ballard handles his trying position
with much diplomacy and after he
gets on to the senatorial ropes will,
no doubt, rank with any presiding
officer the Senate ever had.
Suffrage advocates wearing stream
ers with the magic words Votes for
Women" printed on them, surged
back and forth between the House
and the Senate. 1t was a triumphial
procession for the advocates of equal
rights, day long looked forward to
and they even were amazed with the
celebrity of the passage of their reso-
luton.

--ONeill is the possessor Of one
smallpox patient and one smallpox
infected passenger coach belonging
to the Northwestern railroad. both
unwelcome.
Action against the railroad prob
ably will be begun by both O'Neill
city and Holt county to get rid OF
the infected passenger coach and to
compel the railroad company to pay
the expense of caring for the pa
tient.

clare they will invoke the law to
prevent the railroad dumping its all
ing passengers within the city and
county confines.

other passengers in the coach dis
covered him to be suffering from
some skin eruption and a doctor,
called at Cody, pronounced it small
pox. Cody authorities refused to
allow the. sick man to leave the
train there.

sufferer rode, in state alone, the
other passengers deserving the
coach. No town along the line

in to a siding before the sheriff could
interfere.

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

II you want to keep your hair in
rood condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared sham
zoos contain too much alkali. This
ines the scalp, makes the hair brit
lie, and is very harmful. Mulsified
socoanut oil shampoo. (which is pure
md entirely greaseless) is much
better than anything else you can
ase for shampooing, as this can't
possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls win make an album
lance Of rich, creamy lather, and
sleanses the hair and scalp thor
pughly. The lather rinses out cas-
lily, 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

REDISTRICTINC
PLANS TAKENUP
BY CONVENTION
Motion to Postpone Proposal
Indefinitely Beaten and
Amendment Voted
Down.

Lincoln, Neb., March o.--(Spe-
cial Telegram.)-A motion to post
pone indefinitely the proposal be-
fore the constitutional convention to
redistrict the state and divide up
counties of more than one represen-
tative from each district instead of
at large took up the time of the
body Tuesday afternoon and was
voted down by vote of 40 to A.
Then an amendment was offered for
redistricting the state on the present
plan and this lost by SO to Al.
The proposition to postpone in
definitely narrowed down to q dis
cussion OF the division of Douglas
county and the members of the
convention from that county did
most of the talking.
Jerry Howard became greatly
agitated when Stebbens and Dawson
said that under the present plan
every legislative delegation from
Douglas county had been sent down
by the stock yards. =
The proposal as it now stands
proposes to divide Douglas county
into legislative districts, but it has
yet to run the gauntlet of the roll
call and be recommended for
passage.
Industrial Plan Adopted.
After debating the most of two
days on the proposal for the estab-
lishment of an industrial commits
sion the convention finally adopted
a substitute in committee of the
whole sent up by Heasty and Peter
son. The new proposal reads:
Laws may be enacted providing
for the investigation, submission and
determination of controversies be-
tween employers and employees in
any business or vocation affected
with 4 public interest, and provld-
ing against unfair business prac-
ticcs and unconscionable gains af-
fecting the public welfare, and ~for
the purpose of administering and en-
forcing such laws, an industrial COM
mission may be created, from the
final orders and judgments of which
an appeal may be taken to the su-
preme court"
Another matter giving the legisla-
ture authority is the proposal Of a
budget" system for the state. This
provides that the budget for all ap-
propriations for the state shall be
made up by the governor with such
expert assistance as shall be provid-
ed by law. The legislature can only
increase the appropriation by a
three-fifths cote.
