FOREFATHERS LIKED THE GAME Principal Adams of the High School of Commerce Intends to make spelling the king of Indoor sports. He contends that this ancient and honorable dlvertlsement has suffered a aecaaence. uraana is t have a revival of spelling and Mr. Adams will be the revivalist. "Our forbears took a delight In spelling, while .we make It a drudg ery. In the good old days spelling bees were part of the social life of the community. The best spellers or the town were pointed to with pride Just as one would potnt to with new court house or city hall. Today we view our spelling with alarm. We nfed preparedness In spelling," said Principal Adams. Present Day Panlls Lax. The serious phase of the matter Is that the pupils of public schools are not 00m lng up to the mark In thler apelllng. In order to awaken an Interest In this branch or learning, Mr. Adams has devised a plan which he believes will meet with strong approval at the High School of Commerce. A board of eight teachers of the school will supervise the contests to be held, beginning next Monday mornln. There are to be four tests each semestv among the foup classes of the school. The spelling board will prepare separate lists of 100 words each for the classes and In each room the words will be read by the teachers. In this manner each oupil will be given 800 words during the school year. To Strike Averages. Averages will be recorded for the bejt spellers of each class, for the best rooo'B and for the classes. At the end of each semester the averages of the four tests wll be brought together to determine the winners of the semester. In a cas of lie there will be a public spell-down at an assembly in the school building. A cup will be offered and will be held by the winners as long as they are n the lead. The election of words will be made from the editorials, advertisements and legal notices in tne Omaha dally news papers, the use of the papers to be ro tated. Announcement will be made bne day in advance of the newspaper to be used by the spelling board, which will give the pupils an opportunity to prepare in a general way, although they will not know what words they will be called upon to spell until the lists are read by the teachers. The plan has the approval of members of the Board of Education. Robert Co well .has offered the silver cup. The names of the spelling board are: J. A. Knotts, chairman; L. A. Detrlng. Jean Rae, Catherine White. J. T. Morey, R. R. Barry, Alta P. Hotchklss, Henry Clausen. Sidles to Be Host to Many During the Auto Show in Omaha H. E.

One of the station practical jokers heard the story and donning coat and hat, went out. to return Immediately, appar ently much exhausted. "There's the fellow that robbed me," shouted the Joker, pointing an accusing finger at 'XJawge." "He walloped me on the head with a club and took fx and ran." "Gawgs" let out one gasp of astonish ment that sounded tike the overland limited blowing off steam. "Oh, hewas-sas!" he walled, clinging to Andy Pattullo'a suspenders. "Doan let at w'lte gemman thay ah tuk his otigh! Ah alnt no volln' nlggah! Ah wuk's, ah does! Yo all go ask Mist' Cunn'l Royd in Chey-an."

"Here you guys quit kidding this fellow. What do you think this hooa-gow is j Joint r The station funny-man took off his hat and roat In chagrin, and then smiled at "Gawge." "Tou're all right, George; here, take this lv-cent cigar," he offtred by way of establishing peace. "Gawge" took the cigar and broke It Into little pieces and stuffed It Into a oavern-llke pipe.

Expect Hay Market for the Fall Trade Omaha will probably have a hay market established in time to handle the hay crop of Nebraska this fall. That at least ia the hope of the hay market committee of the Commercial club which U working hard on details to get underway as soon as possible. The figures recently published revealing the fact that Nebraska la by far the larg est producer of hay in the United States haa added an Impetus to the work of the committee, for they feel now more keenly than ever before how absurd it has been for Omaha to be so long with out a hay market where an adequate system or grading and selling hay could be maintained.

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 shampoos con tain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and Is very harmful.

Blmply moisten your hair with water and rub It In. One or two teaspoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, end cleanaes the hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily and removes every pertlcle 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. Tou can get mulsifled cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It Is very chesp, and a few ounces is enough to Isst evsryone in the family for months.-Ad-vertlsement. v i Store Hours, 8:30 A, M. to 6 P. M. Saturday till 9 P.
