Herman Resident in
'Nineties Is Head of
Five Generations
"Uncle George" Buffington of Her
man, who has a daughter who is a
great -grandmother, has, "put one
over" on Father Time. He steps
around today as though he hadn't
been born even before the Monroe
doctrine was conceived.
Mr. Buffington was born in Ohio
ninety-five years ago. It was not un
til he was 58 years old that he trekked
to the west and settled at Blair, Neb.
He paid $700 for ninety acres of
ground in 1879, and sold it only last
week for $10,400.
This young-old man has three "ba
bies." They are Mrs. J. M. Evans of
Blair, 70 years old; Mrs. C. M. Par
rish of Herman, 67 years old, with
whom Mr. Buffington li' es, and J. L.
Buffington of Clearwater. Mrs. Par
rish is a great-grandmother, thus con
ferring upon her father the distinc
tion of being the head of five genera
tions. In all there are forty-nine mem
bers of the family. The youngest and
most exacting member is 18 months
old, and is the only one of all the de
scendants who can ''boss" Mr. Buf
fington. Coalition Cabinet Is
Urged for Germany
In Berlin Tageblatt
Amsterdam (Via London), Sept. 20.
A coalition government for Ger
many is urged by the Berlin Tageblatt
in a long leader by Hans Sivkovich, a
member of the Reichstag.
"Never since the beginning of the
war," he writes, "has the German peo
ple awaited with such tension and ap
prehension the forthcoming meeting
of the Reichstag. The period since
the last meeting has brought us suc
cesses, but also many difficulties, mili
tary setbacks, and new enemies. The
whole people stand at the gate wait
ing and asking.
"The Reichstag leaders will have to
listen to speeches stronger than ever
on the events of the last few weeks.
Therefore it were wise to consider
carefully whether the leaders of all of
our great parties should not be called
together to form a coalition ministry."

Lloyd D. Willis Home
Damaged by Fire
First starting from unknown cause
early yesterday evening did consider
able damage to the home of Lloyd D
Willis, Thirty-sixth and Mason
streets.
The blaze started in the basement
and had gained great headway by the
time passersby noticed smoke pour
ing from windows and sent in an
alarm. The flames practically gutted
the basement and ate up into the first
floor before they were extinguished

Many humorous incidents have oc
curred the last two days at the auc
tion sale of uncalled for United States
mail, which is being conducted on the
steps of the Capitol avenue entrance
of the federal building.
While bidders for the most part
know what they are getting when
they bid in on any one of the 600 odd
packages offered at the sale, once in
a while a piece of mail is 'knocked
down" that may contain, for all any
one knows, jewelry, but more often
something on the order of sewing
machine oil, insect powder, a musty
volume of civil war jokes or the like.
The laugh of the morning was pro
vided at the expense of a certain
newspaper reporter a news gatherer
with the federal building al his stamp
ing ground, and who spends all his
spare moments, when not chasing
items, clouting golt ball on the nose 1
and then pursuing it o'er hill and dale. I
One of the postmaster's loyal crew
told this reporter that package num
ber so and so contained a gross of
golf balls; he also added that the I
chances were no one in the crowd
would realize their value and he could ,
acquire them for a song.
"Oh Fine."
"Oh, fine!" quoth this brevity !
hound, "I'll just romp out and get 1
myself enough golf balls to last all
fall and most of next summer." i
So when package number so and so :
reached the auctioneer's hands that !
glib gent raved thus:
"A gross of balls, people; they may
be rubber, high or base, I don't
know.
"A little fun and amusement for the
children, maybe. What'm bid? Who'll
start'er off? Whatzat? Ten cents.
A' right. Ten's bid. What ahama,"
etc., etc.
After a dirty-faced street urchin
had chirped "Fifteen cents," and sub
sequent bids had lifted the price to 60
cents, the rabid golf 1 ug of the Oma
ha fourth estate put in his oar with a
two-dollar quotation.
Several members of the crowd
looked at the reporter like he was
insane; there were a couple of goings,
goings and final gone on the part of
the auctioneer, and the budding jour
nalist wa. in possession of his pre
cious package.
Unwrapping the package with ting
ling fingers, and with the eyes of a
score of persons upon him, the re
porter found not a gross of golf
balls, but that number of tiny cellu
loid pellets, designed, as far as any
one could figure out, to fit on the
stern end of baby's rattles.
And, like the Arab, the golfing re
porter folded up his notes and his
calluloid balls and silently slunk
away.

I certainly envy the women who

when they need new clothes, I
guess you're one of them,
Myrtle that new suit of yours

"Do you want to know how I
bought it, Dorothy? I intended
to tell you all along because I
knew you'd be just as crazy
about Beddeo's store as I am.
"Yes, I bought this new suit
at Beddeo's. And I didn't pay

I wasn't required to a person

then carry out a schedule of

A Sure Way to
End Dandruff
There is one sure way that has
neve, failed to remove dandruff at
mce, and that is to dissolve it, then
you destroy it entirely. To do this,
iust get about four ounces of plain,
,-ommon l.quid arvon from any drug
'.am (t..is is all you will need), applj
il at night w..en 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 be gone, and three
i.r four more applications will com
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of it, no
matter how much dandruff you may
have.
You will find all itching and dig
jang of the scalp will stop instantly,
!tid your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
""glossy, silky and soft, and look and
feel a hundred times better. Adv.

FURNISH COURSE IN CIVICS
When the mild-mannered professor
who dishes out lessons in -civil gov
ernment at Central High school
passed out a list of questions yester
day, to be answered today in class
room, he little recked that before an
other sunrise he'd have most of the
governmental machinery of Omaha
standing on its ear.
As early as 6 o'clock last evening
one young chap appeared at the police
station and hunted up Captain Demp
scy. whom he knew.
"Hey, cap, how many cops arc there
on the force?"
Dempsey told him and the reply was
jotted in a book, and the boy went
away.
The Big Idea.
"What's the big idea?" Denipsey
wanted to know.
"Tha's my civics lesson for tomor
row," the youngster answered.
"Pretty soft, nowadays," answered
Cap.
Inside of the next hour every kid
in the civics class who possessed an
acquaintance or a friend on the police
department called headquarters to ask
a question.
"How manv sergeant?"
"'-.ow many detectives?"
"How much does the chief get?"
At the fire stations it was the same.
Youngsters who didn't own a friend
who could tell them first-hand about
the fire department got their parents
to do it. Louis Iterka, former presi
dent of the city council and ex-police
magistrate, was stumped by juvenile
friends and finally he, too, commenced
seeking information.
City Prosecutor McGuire, nearly all
of the city commissioners and police
men and firemen everywhere were
kept busy most of the evening an
swering questions.
At midnight most of the pupils ap
parently had their lesson complete,
tor the telephones at central police
; station ceased ringing,
i "(iosh, I hope that perfesser doesn't
slip them kids a lesson in arithmetic
i or something hard. I've already
: coughed up everything I know." ex
' claimed the copper who answered
i most of the telephone calls.
The Answer. (
Just to complete the story:
i There were 285 firemen in Omaha
'according to the report for 115 and a
few more have been employed during
! 1916.
I The roster of the police department
i totals 185.

fore the Retail Credit Men's associa
tion at the Fontenelle on the purposes
of the national organization and the
need of country-wide co-operation on
the part of merchants for the estab

tending and taking care of credit. He
explained how the national associa
tion protected the merchants of the
nation generally by informing them
through their local organization of
the status of the individual seeking a
charge account hy the record of the
individual in place of residence or
throughout the country. He spoke of
the necessity in modern business of
making a credit account a definite
transaction with the customer as to
payment, and the necessity of a cus
tomer furnishing credentials as to his
status as a creditor the same as a
man who bor ,s money from a. bank
must furnish his banker the security
that he will pay his loan.

Art Smith to Quit Flying
And Go Into Business
Deadwood, S. D., Sept. 20. (Spe
cial.) According to word he has sent
to friends here, Art Smith, the aviator;
has given up flying and as soon as
his broken leg, which is healing in a
Chicago hospital, mends, he will leave
for Japan again, where he expects to
enter the mercantile field. Smith
made a particularly dangerous flight
here, the first one in the Black Hills,
in 1912, when he was unknown to
fame, and he then asserted that as
soon as he acquired a competence
with his flying he would quit the
game. He says now he is through and
will leave the field to newcomers.
