President Sharp of Eoya)
Highlanders Gives Board
Fine Quarters in Lincoln
Fraternity Building.
(From a Stat. Correspondent.)
Uncoln, Way 11. (Special.) W. E.
Sharp, president; of the Lincoln Street
car company and head of the Royal
Highlanders of Nebraska, has donated
the State Board of Defense palatial
quarters in the Fraternity building,
formerly used by him as headquar
ters of the Highlanders.
"It is our wish" said Chairman
Joyce, "that we may be supplied with
practically everything for the head
quarters bjt people of patriotic im
pulses, who are as anxious as we are
to fourther the great work of organ
ization to which we are committed.
The National Council of defense and
the War department have made it
plain to us that we shall not lack for
Funds, but it is their expressed wish
that the states take rarp nf pYnpncc
y voluntary offerings wherever pos
sible.
To Keep Up With Procession.
"Moreover, it is well understood
that other states are maintaining this
work easily by public contributions
and we know Nebraska will keep up
with the procession.' We know it will,
for already, before we are fairly or
ganized, we have a flood of letters
from patriots in every section of the
conjmonwealth, pledging funds and
donations of every kind.
"In this connection' it might be
starfel, that while the legislative act
providing for this State Board of De
fense appropriated $25,000, yet it be
gins to look as if that sum might be
used for postage, if the work is pros
ecuted with the energy we hope to
devote to it."
Enthusiastic patrons are bombard
ing the State Defense headquarters
with offers of donations. Some of
them are not acceptable, but the offi
cials declare that many things in the
way of ollke equipment, iurnitute,
tlags. pitcures, etc., will be deeply an
preciated and they arc eager for
them.
Every Man of Conscription
Age Must Register His Name
Every male resident of Omaha be
tween the ages of 21 and 31, cripples
or others confident they arc exempt
not excepted, will be expected to reg
ister for conscription. Election Com
missioner Moorhead. who will be in
charge of the registration, announced.
Proper exemptions will be made in
due time, he said, but all men between
the ages designated by congress will
be required to register.
The election commissioner said he
had been advised that the government
is perfecting an elaborate plan for
running down slackers who fail to
register. "It's no disgrace nor dis
credit to any; man to be drafted, but
it -certainly would be for those who
attempt to evade conscription by not
registering," he said.
About 160 volunteer registrars have
filed their names with Mayor Dahl
man and the election commissioner.
Two hundred and twenty-four regis
trars will be nee 'd. There are 124
voting precincts in Douglas county
and two men are required for each
precinct.
Owners of stores, buildings and
houses used as precinct voting places
will be asked to donate their use to
the registration officials, which will
be the same as offering them to the
government. Other voting places are
schools, fire houses and rooms in
other public buildings.

the tested
skin-treatment
I f you want to experiment on your
skin, there are plenty of treatments
to experiment with. But if you want
something whose value has been
Proven by years and years of suc
cessful use, if you want a treatment
that doctors prescribe constantly,
that you know contains nothing
harsh or injurious, you will find it in
Resinol Ointment, aided by Resinol
Soap. It usually stops itching i
stantfy, and rarely fails to clear
away alt trace of eczema or similar
tormenting skin-eruption.
