Officers Russell, Chapman, Anderson and Nielsen, who made the raid, are inclined to believe that the wire is the property of Louis Assman, the former, proprietor of the drug store, who is uow serving a sen tence of from three to fifteen years for the Winslow bank robbery Dec. 7, 1916.

Warmer Weather Needed is Cry of Nebraska Farmers The Northwestern railroad's Ne braska crop report for the week end ing Saturday, indicates that the great need of the farmers at this time is warmer weather and lots of it. Agents along the lines of road report that owing to the cold weather last week, crops made slow growth and arc un usually backward. There is no improvement in the condition of winter wheat and the es timate of 75 per cent having been winter killed, holds good. Spring wheat is coming along nicely and promises a good crop yield, provid ing the weather is seasonable. Preparing the ground for corn planting is about completed. In many portions of the state most of the planting has been finished. The acreage of corn and potatoes will be the largest in the history of the state. Generally, alfalfa has been killed by the cold of last winter. Abe Ravitz Burned In Gasoline Explosior Abe Ravitz, Edward hotel, a taxi driver, stopped at the Omaha Garage for a pint of oil.

Loyal mothers, sisters and sweet hearts whose boys have already gone to training camps were to be seen on every impor tant corner, hotel, ollice building and department store, urging all Oma ha to "join now," and not many could pass by the urgent matrons and maids, made unusually attractive in their Ued Cross nurses' costumes. Red Cross headquarters and build ings where booths were located were besieged as early as 8 o'clock by citi zens desiring memberships. In the rush and scramble to start the ball rolling Frank Judaon, mem bership chairman, had forgotten to get a minister for the flag-raising at the court house. At three minutes to 11 every phone Jn Red Cross headquar ters and adjoining stores and ma chines of workers sent out to scout for a minister were kept busy trying to find a preacher to offer the prayer. But, alas, all the ministers in town had just left a meeting at the Young Men's Christian association and were unable to be found. Finally as the clock struck 11 the phono rang and some good scout had located Rev. Harry B. Foster of the Dundee Pres byterian church, who came to the res cue. Other incidents which arc amusing now, though the cause of consider able consternation on the part of the new Red Cross officials, happened. When the whistles began to blow at 10:30 the traffic policeman at Six teenth and Farnam streets, anxious to pay due reverence to the movement, stopped all traffic thirty minutes too soon. Shortly after the opening of the United States National bank Milton T. Barlow rushed frantically Into the Rfd Cross headquarters, saying, "The bank is full of people wnnting to Join the Red Cross and they won t get out un til we give them the buttons. How do you expect us to sell tho buttons when we haven't got them?" Since fifty-two booths had to bo vis ited by the committee distributing the necessary literature and buttons, they were not able to reach all the places in time for the earliest applicants. Rev. Lloyd Holsapple offered a one minute prayer at the Grain Exchange building and Brandels, Burgess-Nash, M. K. Smith, Byrne & Hammer and the Midland Glass and Paint company all ceased activity for one minute. Ncllgh Offers Help Jane Wattles of Neligh, Neb., niece of G. W. Wattles of this city, has written offering the services of the Camp Fire Girls thre to assist In the Red Cross work. Tho Omaha authorities am going to sug gest that they help with the comfort kits for the soldiers. Police Court Walts Police Judge Madden and all others present in the court room stood for onp minute Mon day morning when the blowing of the whistles in the city signalized the opening of Omaha's campaign for the raising of 20,000 members of the Red Cross army. Need Women Volunteers More volunteer women are needed. Many nrms want Red Cross booths in their places. No women are available at present to take care of them. Phone Mrs. H. H.

Craig is the latest schemer to think up a new way to make money for the Red Cross. Her Idea is to have boxes on every street corner, in public buildings and schools in which pennies are to be dropped for the benefit of the cause.

HOIST FLAG TO START RED CROSSCAMPAIGN Bishop Stunt;, Mayor Dahlman, Boy Scouts and Others Take Part in the Exercises. Impressive ceremonies marked the raising of the huge Red Cross flag on tlic court house at 11 o'clock yes terday, when, in the presence of city and county officials, Red Cross ofti cials, Roy Scouts and a large crowd of representative Omahans, the ban ner was flung to the breezes and the week's campaign for 20,000 members was officially begun. The crowd atood with bared heads while Rev. Harry B. Foster, pastor of the Dundee Presbyterian church, prayed that "in the nation's present crisis men would go from their homes to camps, and from camps to battle, knowing that ministering hands would ever care for their needs." Symbol of Love. "This flag," he said, "ia symbolic of a nation's ministering to its brave men who go forth to battle in the cause of liberty and honor. It renre- i scuta the spirit of the nation's men and women who go out to care for the wounded who will give their all to the country they love. "May God be with these men who answer their country's call when they are needed. Bishop Stunts, introduced by Frank W. Judson, chairman of the Red Cross membership committee, predicted that the time would soon come when war would ceas;. but said that until that time it was well that "the cross of our Master should fly over hospitals, be emblazj.icd on ambulances and the coat sle)eve.i of doctors in their work for the country's men." "This cross," he said, "shall typify the spirit of our Father and bring ministrations to the men who serve their country." Mayor Dahlman, in accepting the flag from Gould Dietz, president of the Omaha chapter of the Red Cross, told those who had assembled on the court house steps the banner would fly in the breezes to notify each man, woman and child that Omaha was doing its duty in this struggle for the cause of liberty.

Hair Often Ruined By Washing With Soap Soap should be used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Most soajis and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle and ruins it. The best thing for steady use ia just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless), and ii better than the moat expensive soap or anything else you can use. One or two teaapoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and tha hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and a few ounces will supply every mem ber of the family for months. Adv. Phone Douglas1 137.
