THE PEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 1. 1916. Nebraska it DAATV TTT T T flAlfnn X, W K lllllYlKN DOWN FROM DAKOTA A. E. Beaumont Says Hughes Will Carry State by Big Majority. ,. GEORGE TALKS OF OUTLOOK (From a Statt Correspondent.) Lincoln, Aug. 31. (Special.) South Dakota will poll a big fote for Hughes and the republican ticket in November, according to A. Beau mont, secretary of the South Dakota live stock sanitary board, who was in Lincoln today to confer with State Veterinarian Anderson regarding live stock conditions of the two states. Mr. Beaumont said that the pro gressives were all for Hughes as a general thing and South Dakota would be found strongly in the re publican column as usual. Reports coming to republican state headquarters continue to be very sat isfactory. Chairman Beach and his assistants are on the job all the time. In the short time Mr. Beach has had hold of the steering wheel of the G. 0. P. ship, he has got in touch with nearly every county organization and now knows where to put in the work where it will count. - Indications that the state will be strongly republican, are npt causing the chairman to let up any in his ef forts. , i Going After Big Victory, "We are not going to be satisfied merely with carrying the state for the whole ticket," said Mr. Beach to day. ''If the committee can be in strumental in helping along that de sired condition, we' are going to work all the harder to make the victory so decisive that there will be no ques tion where Nebraska stands. ' "Men from out in the state who are in close touch with the condition in their portion declare that Nebraska will go for the head of the ticket all the way from 20,000 to 30,000. We are not going to stop at that. If we arc assured of that much now we arc go ing to make it larger if vpossiblc. There is little doubt but that we are growing stronger all the while. In lact, we know it. "The other fellows are trying to fool the voter into the belief that our apparent prosperity is the result of democratic wisdom in handling af fairs, but they are not getting very far. The average larmer knows on which side his bread is buttered and he knows just as wepll as anybody what is bound to come if this demo cratic administration continues and has to face conditions which will con front us when the European war is over. If the democratic narty cannot handle the business of our country without running behind under condi tions such as we have had the last two years, what in the world will they do when the war is settled oyer there and we face a really complexing prob lem. The average voter is wise to the situation and this committee knows it." South Nebraska in Line. -Walter A. George, former state chairman of the committee, visited headquarters today..- Mr.. George has been in a business trip through south ern Nebraska and says he sees noth ing but a republican victory all along the line. "It is foolish for anyone to think that the democrats are going to win in this state. It isn't in the air. This country is going to be re publican after the fourth of next March," said Mr. George, "end ecen the democrats who are not looking for something in the way of a job, feel thatway. The fellows who arc personally interested are out over the ..., trmr m fnnl ihc voters into the belief that Wilson will be elcced, but they are not getting very far with it. "If you will remember four years is about all the country has been able to stand of democratic rule at one time for the last fifty years, and their four years this time will be up along about March 4, A. D. 1917.

William F. Frank, a promi nent German farmer, who lived half a mile northwest of-town, committed suicide Tuesday afternoon. His life less body was found hanging to a rafter in the barn. Coroner Waddell of Pawnee City was immediately' summoned, but a thorough' examina tion convinced him that an inquest was unnecessary. Mr. Frank was about 50 years old. He suffered a broken leg last March and still used crutches. He is survived by a widow, Mrs. Hester Frank. His . brother, Henry Frank, shot himself in 1908. A niece, Miss Eva Stradter, died in a tragic manner at Humboldt last Fri day. The following note was found in Mr. Frank's pocketbook: Hestar, .you have been a true .wife, but you have it too hard this spring, and I can't stand It no more. Good-bye, dear. It is thought from this note, which had been written and carried some time, from its appearance, that the deed had been long contemplated.

Cocoanut Oil Fine For Washing Hair If you want to keep your hair in good condition, be careful what you wash it with. , - Most soaps and prepared sham poos contain tocTmuch alkali. -This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is Very harmful.. Just plain mulsi ficd cocoanut oil (which is pure and entirely greaseless) is much better than the most expensive soap or any thing else you can use for shampoo ing, as this can't possibly injure the hair. Simply moisten your hair with wa ter 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 ev ery 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 man age. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap and a few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family for inonjhs.
