Uavidgon Says Home Light

paign Sinre Liberty
Loan.
The helter home lighting activity
now being carried on nationally is
greater in magnitude than any other
campaign carried since the liberty
loan drives, according to J. E. David
son of the Nebraska Power company,
• who is national directer of the activ
ity.
"Several years ago when I was
chairman of the public relation sec
tion of the National Electric Eight
association, I strongly advocated the
desirability of paying more attention
o the lighting in the homes, and I
have taken advantage of every op
portunity to sell the idea to electrical
association conventions and other
meetings of electrical men," said Mr.
Davidson.
Defective Eyesight.
"Plans were started about a year
ago for an intensive campaign to
promote better lighting in the homes.
Uthough we have realized for a
long time that the eyesight of the
eople of our country was being se
riously impaired by the poor lighting
conditions in homes, we were Jarred
Into action by discovery that more
• than 10 per cent of the men drafted
into the services of the country dur
ing the world war were rejected on
account of defective eyesight. We
iso are told by the Eyesight Con
servation Council of America, that
.’j per cent of the 24,000,000 school
■ hildren in this country are suffer
ing from defective eyesight.
The plan is strictly educational in
its operation. It seeks by a national
essay contest among the school chil
dren of the Tnited States and Can
ada, to spread the gospel of better
home lighlng among the 12,000,000
wired homes. It is generally conceded
that the most effective method of

Nobody can Tell when you
Darken Gray, Faded Hair
wi th Sage Tea.
Grandmother kept her hair beauti
fully darkened, glossy and attractive
w ith a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this
-rtmple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect. By asking at any
drug stroe for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound," you will get a
large bottle of this old-time recipe,
improved by the addition of other
Ingredients, all ready to use, at very
little cost. This simple mixture can
lie depended upon to restore natural
color and heauty to.the hair.
Well-known druggists say every
body uses Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur
Compound now because it darkens
so naturally and evenly that nobody
can tell It has been applied—it's so
easy to use, too. You simply dampen
a comb or soft brush and draw It
through your hair, taking one strand
at a time. By morning the gray
hair disappears; after another appli
cation or two. It is restored to its
natural color and looks glossy, soft
and beautiful.

The Easiest Way
To End Dandruff
There Is one sure way that never
falls to remove dandruff completely,
and that is to dissolve It. This de
stroys It entirely. To do this, just
get about four ounces of plain, or
dinary liquid arvon; apply It at night
when retiring; use enough to moisten
the scalp and rub It In gently with
the finger tips.
By morning, most If not all, of your
dandruff will he gone, and two or
i hree more applications will com
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of It, no
matter how much dandruff you may
have.
Volt will find, too, that all Itching
end digging of the scalp will stop in
stantly, and your hair will he fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store and four ounces Is all you
will need. This simple remedy has
never bepn known to fail.

Aurora, Neb., Oct. 4.—The second
white child born in Hamilton county
in 1869, Jess Chaffee, still resides in
Hamilton county on the original Chaf
fee homer'tead, near the Blue river, in
Farmers’ Valley precinct.
Mr. Chaffee will be present at the
Pioneer Days’ celebration in Aurora,
October 8 and 9, and will take part
In the part of the program devoted
to the telling of early reminiscences
by pioneers of Hamilton county.
The first white child born in Hamil
ton county was the late Orville VVest
cott.
A sod house, built by the Horseshoe
club of Aurora, a reminder of pioneer
times in Aurora, will be on display
at the Pioneer Days' celebration. The
building of this sod house has been
supervised by M. It. Worthington, an
Old homesteader, who located in
Hamilton county In 1872, at which
time he constructed many sod houses
t
The pioneer celebration is being
given under the auspices of the
Aurora Chamber of Commerce, of
which P. J. Refshauge is president.
Mrs. T. E. Williams of Aurora has
charge of the window decorations, and
each store window around the square
will have on display old-time relics,
costumes, Indian relics, etc.
All old settlers of Hamilton county,
who have moved from the county,
have been given special invitations to
attend this celebration. Many will
attend the festivities. Perhaps the
most notable of these Is Hon. A. W.
Agee, former lieutenant governor of
Nebraska, now judge of the district
court at Ogden, Utah.
The main feature of Thursday aft
ernoon will be a ball game between
the Omaha Western league team and
the Chicago Union (Hants.
The main feature of Wednesday
afternoon will he the dairy special of
the Burlington railroad.
County Officials Without Clocks
9/
When System Fails in Courthouse
Pneumatic Plan for Operation of Time Pieces Proves
Faulty When One Goes Out of Order; Expert
Needed but Artisans Prove to Be Scarce.
A great, problem faces the offi
cials in charge of tho Douglas
county courthouse. For weeks
they have been in a quandary as to
what to do. And all because, when
the structure was erected, folks
wanted to have something just a
little better and a little different
from that of their neighbors.
The regular fall term of court
opens October 6. Tho jurors are
responding to their summons, the
judges are ready to take their
places on the various benches, the
alleged law violators are beginning
to turn every possible stone toward
gaining their release. In short the
stage Is all set.
And then eomes the hitch. Thero
are no clocks ticking off the min
utes in the court house.
There are clocks, of course. Kach
courtroom, and every other room
for that matter, Is blessed with a
beautiful bit of some clock mak
er's art.
Hut, like the clocks of San Fran
cisco after the shake up, there Is
not one in all the collection which
moves one little bit.
The clocks were built on a pneu.
inatic system. Just why sut-h a
system was Installed is a question
In the minds of many of the tax
payers who paid for it. Hut Its
there and it was pride of the
county.
Now, one of those pneumatic
clocks determined to stop. It
needed an operation. With the
failure of the one the others joined
In the general strike and hence
forth there was no time.
There is no clock maker In the
Immediate vicinity of Omaha who
knows the first thing about these
clocks. Of this officials are sure.
They have investigated. Some
where in the t’nited States there
is an expert, but ro one seems to
Know where he is.
As a result of this the jurors will
l»e forced to deliberate their cases
by the time of their watches. Should
the timepiece* of the judge and the
clerk fml to agree with those of
the jurors there may be several
discrepancies in the records of the
»uses.

If OmahansUsed Their Middle flames: iri'SS
L -——■—*
MIDDLE names of prominent
citizens of Omaha are heard
so seldom or are so unknown
that few persons would recognize
the ntm'.i of these citizens if their
names were parted and only that
Christian name used.
For instance, who would guess that
J. Harris Beveridge is no other than
Superintendent of Schools John H.
Beveridge? Or, J. Lauderdale Ken
nedy is John L. Kennedy, president
of the United States National bank.
Odd family names can be carried
down through generations by middle
names without comment unless the
curious seek the names for which the
initials stand. Some might even
doubt a signature on a check or on
other Important papers were the mid
dle names used by prominent Oma
hans whose names have become fa
miliar to the public. 4
There would be a chance for great
confusion If Just to be different these
men changed their names In the fol
lowing manner:
W. William Head, president Oma
ha National bank.
C. Thomas Kountze, vice presi
dent First National bank.
C. Carlton George, president
George * Co.
• R. Charles Peters, vice president
Peters Trust company.
F. Woodhull Judson, manager
Pittsburgh Plate Glass company.
J —
H. Hammond Baldridge, promi
nent attorney.
T, Patrick Redmond, vice presi
dent Burgess-Nash company.
S. Williams Reynolds, former
state golf champion.
E. Chester Eppley, president Ep
plcy hotels.
Judge C. Albert Goss of the dis
trict court.
Mayor J. Charles Dahlman.
C. Rutland Gardner, secretary
Ak-Sar-Ben.
General G. Brand Duncan, com
mander of Seventh Corps area.
P. Creighton Gallagher, Paxton
Qallagher company.
C. Raymond Gray, president Un
ion Pacific railroad.
A. Daniel Bradley, general man
ager central division, Western Un
ion.
C. Edward Black, postmaster.
Some Omaha men have found their
middle names so suitable or perhaps,
so euphonious with the surname that
they have dropped the first name en
tirely.
Who would suspect that Harley
Conant's first name is George or that
Malcolm Baldridge's first name is
Howard? Carroll Belden, whose mid
dle name is Re d, was given his first
name for his father. Charles Carroll
Belden, president of Thompson-Bel
den company. •
Everett Buckingham, former presi
.
dent of board of governors of Ak Sar
Ben, ran never change for he has no
middle name.
Men are found to be as secretive
about their middle names as women
are about their ages. They are reti
cent about telling their middle nan.os
and make long explanation that the
odd name is one that belongs In the
family. Even wive* are not told their
husbands, middle names in some
cases.
GERMAN CHILD
WALLED IN ALIVE
Berlin. Oct 4.—Echoes of the mid
dle ages are sounded in a crime re
ported from Tschara.in northern
Italy. Here police found the body of
a 3-year-old baby Immured in a
wall.
The investigation showed that the
child, whose name was Jorann N'tech
ler had been walled In alive. When
found, it was already dead.
Despite Its horribleness, the crime
is charged to a 10-year-old, David
Loesch.* The police believe the boy
walled the child in as a childish
prank.
