MAKE YOUR GARDEN
HELP THE NATION
Now Is the Time for All
Patriot to Do Some Plant
ing and Hoeing.
OEOW ANYTHING EATABLE
By A. R. GROH.
If this article results in 1,000 extra
acres of foodstuffs Wing planted this
.spring it shall not have been written
in vain.
This extra acreage would add, for
example, 25,000 to 50,000 bushels of
corn to the nation's store; it would
add from 75,000 to 300,000 bushels of
potatoes.
"Now is the time for all good men
to come to the aid of the country,"
as the typewriter practice line runs.
Planting lime is right now. The
seed must be put into the ground
without delay in order that it may
yield bountiful food for the nourish
ment of our people and for the car
goes of hundreds of ships that shall
sail across the ocean, carrying the
food that the allied countries need
from us.
No part Is too smalt to play in this
work. You, King Farmer, have the
biggest part. Upon you the eyes of
the world are directed. You have the
land, labor and machinery to produce
this food.
In the past you have planted and
cultivated, thinking chiefly of your
own profit. This year t higher re
sponsibility, a patriotic duty rests
upon you.
Usa Every Acre.
You must use every possible acre
of your farm for raising food grains,
vegetables, meat. Don't let a single
acre "loaf."
K you have a ten-acre patch or a
five-acre patch or even one acre that
you let lie fallow in other years, get
into it with the plow this year. Un
less you do, you are unfaithful to
your trust.
If you raise an extra five acres of
corn or potatoes this summer, you
will be providing food for several
hundred people for t month. Can't
you just see those people? If you
don't raise that extra five acres of
food these hundreds may go hungry,
or even atarve. There's your respon
sibility. Don't say to yourself, "The little
extra that I could raise won't make
any difference." Suppose million of
our farmere each put in five extra
acres of corn and raise twenty-five
bushels to the acre (the average
yield), it will mean 125.000,000 bushels
of com. And that will feed a lot of
people, or produce a lot of meat.
Soldier va. Farmer.
If your son wanti. to enlist as a sol
dier or sailor and if you can't raise as
much foodstuffs without his help,
then it is his. duty to stay on the
farm. He can serve his country best,
under those conditions, by plowing
planting and harvesting.
Ydji may have to work extra hard.
But - you will have ' the pleasant
thought that you are doing a most
useful work, that you are feeding the
hungry and that you are aervii.g your
country as a patriot of the first or
der. All this in addition to the extra
big prices you will get for everyhing
you raise this year.
Around the city here, nearly every
vacant lot and back yard and subur
ban acre is tinder cultivation this
spring. Never before has there been
so much small gardening.
Work. Work early and late. Put
forth the supreme effort for your
country, for the world and for your
elf. America is watching you. America
expects you to do your duty.
Benson Folks Try
To Stop Eaces at '
Track Near There
Ernest L. Underwood, Louis F.
; Trinpe, John W. Kurti and Arthur
H. Marvin, Benson property owners,
have started injunction proceedings in
district court in an attempt to enjoin
the Omaha Driving club from holding
: harness race meetings at the former
Douglas County Agricultural socie
ty's track. The agricultural aocietr
and the Metropolitan Water board are
; named as co-defendants. The Omaha
' Driving club recently took over all
the agricultural society's interests at
the Benson racing plant.
The property Owners allege that the
race track is a "public nuisance on
account of the large crowds which
will be attracted o the track by the
horse races." They seek to enjoin the
driving club from making further im
provements at the track and ask that
the court order the present barns to
i be torn down.
, Ois M. Smith, superintendent of
speed and a' member of the board of
directors of the driving club, which
' holds memberships in the Great West
ern circuit, Iowa-Nebraska-Minnesota
. circuit and the Nebraska Speed asso
ciation, said that he welcomed the
suit, inasmuch as it will give the
courts a chance to settle the matter
before the scheduled dates of the im
portant race meetings.
"I don't know of a metroooltan
' city in the country where high class
harness racing is regarded as. a nm
' sance," said Mr. Smith. "The big
cities of the east certainly do not
think so. Harness racinsr. vacked bv
1 reputable business men, is as high
' class a sport as base ball, and I can't
see why property owners should have
any objections to it."
Summer Camp Fund is

brings the Young Women's Christian
association summer camp fund up to
' $13,642.92. The goal is $20,000.,

Dandruf fy Heads
Become Hairiest
If you want plenty of thick, beau
tiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all
means get rid of dandruff, for it will
starve your hair and ruin it if you
don't.
It doesn t do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. 1 he only aure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dis-
solve it. then you destroy it entirely.
To do this, get about four ounces of
ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at
night when retiring;-use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in gent
ly with the finger tips.
By morning most, if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will complete
ly dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace ot it.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging Of the scalp will stop,
and your, hair will look and reel a
hundred times better. You can get
liquid arvon at any drug store. It is
inexpensive and four ounces is alt you
will need, no matter how much dand
ruff you have. This simple remedy
never fails. Advertisement.
ENTIRE CITY GETS
A GOOD SCRUBBING
No Spot to Be Overlooked
Through United Efforts
of Many Clans.
CITY DIVIDED INTO PARTS
Omaha Woman's club, improvement
clubs, Boy Scouts, Omaha Civic
league and city street department
have to-ordinated their energies in
developing a system which will be
used during the cleanup campaign
beginning on Friday.
The city has been divided into dis
tricts. Depressions have been desig
nated as dumping places to which
wagons and trucks will be assigned
on an efficiency basis. Superintend

office which will keeo in touch with
headquarters. Boy Scouts will serve
as messengers.

The general committee issued the
following statement:
"The entire city is included in this
general removal of rubbish. It is urged

Red Cross Applicants Prefer the
Nursing Branch to the Cooking
Why don't Omaha women apply for
Red Cross dietetics classes? Not a
single application has been made.
"We are swamped with requests for
first aid, surgical dressings and home
nursing classes, but no one has asked
for a class in dietetics," said Mrs.
C. T. Kountze, chairman of instruc
tion for women.
Dietetics is the only other subject
taught in the Red Cross classes.
"The women all .want to go to the
front. That's why they're all studying
nursing," ventured one woman at
headquarters. -
"Any woman can make something
for an invalid to eat. They don't have
to study it," remarked another,
"It's not nearly so interesting," said
a third.
Mrs. Ross Towle has . the newest
first aid class in charge. Dr. W. Y.
Thompson will instruct the class
Tuesdays and Thursdays between 11
and 12 o'clock at the Nurses' club.
Miss Delia Coutts, just registered, is
one of the few who will give her
services freely, in case of need. "I
will go anywhere at any time and
do any work there is to do," Miss
Coutts expressed preference for motor
driving.
city dumps. Tin cans, bottle and
yard rakings will be collected. Ashes
will not be hauled by the city. Do nor
throw rubbish on the ash heap ana
expect the driver to separate it. Rub
bish and cans should be put in piles
at the alley or just inside the fence
convenient for the teamster to shovel
into the wagon. City wagons will not
haul away broken furniture, old bed
springs or junk iron."
Wagons and trucks will be started
early Friday morning.

Rain Cripples Lumber
Market, Omahans Say
George Rasmussen and J. E. Dodds
have returned from Tennessee and
Alabama, where they sought to pur
chase lumber stock at the mills. They
report the heavy rains in Tennessee
have made it exceedingly difficult to
get red cedar posts, poles and piling.
At some places the wagons hauling
the lumber out of the woods have
been running hub-deep in mud, they
say.
Heavy Rains Swell the
Streams and Delay Trains
Wilh the exception of a limited area
in the eastern portion, rain Wednes
day night was general over Nebraska.
The precipitation ranged from one
fourth to two inches, the heaviest
downpour being out along the North
western, in Holt county.
Stromsburg and numerous stations
in the South Flatte country report an
inch to an inch and one-half.
As a result of the torrential rains,
trains are late in arriving from the
west, the delay being caused by soft
tracks. ,
In the Republican river valley the
streams are high, a number of the
smaller ones being out of their banks.
