"According to bulletins just issued, 2,000,000 acres of grass lands in Eng land have been plowed up and are to be put into grain," said Nebraska Food Administrator G. W. Wattles. "This admits of but one interpreta tion, that the live stock and dairy problem is to be left largely to the! United States, while the countries of Europe are to be put on a basis of increased grain production." Mr. Wattles has appointed H. M. Bushnell, jr., at present secretary of the Commercial club at Alliance, to be executive secretary of the Ne braska food administration. He will report' at Omaha in a few days. Monroe to Name Committee. Two definite moves are now imme diately ahead of the Nebraska food administration. It was announced that George Monroe, supervisor of perishable products, would soon ap point a committee to work with him in getting the peoplfto realize that there is a needless waste in Omaha and to push the matter of. getting every available product in city gar dens now preserved for winter use. The other is to work with the fed eral government in bringing about a 100 per cent pledge of the housewives . 1 1 i 1 L 1- .1 lu reuuee tuixucii wc, uicaucss days, etc. . To Take More Pledges. Pledge cards have been passed out in Omaha by the women's organiza tions, but it . is felt that the city was not canvassed with sufficient thor oughness. The week, of October 14 has been set apart for this pledge card week and H. J. Hill of Washington has been named national director of this pledge movement. The new scale " of maximum prices for all grain in Great Britain has ust reached Mr. Wattles. Wheat and rye are fixed at $17.74 per quarter of S04 pounds, which is about $2.11 per bushel. Oats are fixed at $10.62 per quarter of 336 pounds, or about 95 cents per bushel.

Hoffman, undertaker, Monday morning was named by County At torney Magney, County Treasurer En dres and County Clerk Dewey to fill the vacancy on the county board created" by the death of the late Jeff W. Bedford v He has been active in democratic politics, but his selection was a sur prise to gome, who believed Ed Law ler, salesman, understood to have had the backing of the city hall crowd, had the "edge." But Hoffman had the support of Arthur Mullen and the sledding was easy. Mr. Hoffman was named on the first ballot. The county treasurer and the county attorney, democrats, voted for Hoffman. Countv Clerk Dewev. republican, cast his ballot for T. F.9 Stroud, implement dealer. The new county commissioner is married and has a family. He was run for coroner five years ago, but was, defeated by Willis Crosby. He has been prominent in the activities of the Knights of Columbus. There were about thirty Omahans who announced they would accept the county board post if it were tendered them. Practically all of them were democrats, as the balance of power in the committee of three provided LEO A. HOFFMAN. by law to fill the vacancy was held by members of that party. Though the term of the late com missioner would not have expired un til four years from last January, Mr. Hoffman was named to fill the va cancy only until the next general elec tion, a year from this fall. After having his $15,000 bond ap proved by County judge Crawford, Mr. Hoffman will be County Clerk Dewey. sworn in by LAND BOUGHT FOR STREETCAR HOUSE Company Buys Tract on South Side of Cuming from Twenty-Fifth to Twenty-Eighth Streets. Through its agents the Omaha street railway, company has pur chased all the ground on the south side of Cuming street, from Twenty fifth to Twenty-eight streets and to the alley between Cuming and Burt streets. The tract is 418 feet along Cuming street and 135 feed deep. On the ground the street railway company will erect a car house that will cover practically the entire tract, at a cost of something like $100,000.

As soon as the ground is cleared, work will start on the excavation for the building which will - be erected this fall and Vinter if material and labor, can be obtained. .The buying of the ground for the site of the proposed car house was handled by the Byron Reed company and carried on so quietly that few if any of the original owners' had any idea that the street railway company figured in the deal. Options were taken and the.re was nothing to indi cate that there was any abnormal de mand for Cuming street property.

"Secure the latest bulletins issued by the National Board of Underwrit ers at New York and if they show any serious defects, get busy in your city at once and don't let up until satisfied that your property is abso lutely safe." This advice was given by Charles E. Doty, president of the National Association of Building Owners and Managers, when the as sociation met at the Hotel Fontenelle for the tenth annual convention. In his opening address President Doty laid stress upon the importance to building owners and managers of seeing to it that all unnecessary fire hazards are eliminated in the city. He pointed out that the National Board of Underwriters has recently com pleted a comprehensive survey of con ditions in the big cities of the United States with respect to fire hazards and equipment for reducing these haz ards. Too Valuable to Expose. "The buildings represented in our association," he continued, "are far too valuable to be exposed to fire and city officials must be compelled, if necessary, to give every possible pro tection." The high cost of coal and other in creased costs of operating big office buildings is one of the problems with which building owners and man agers must wrestle. "The cost of coal and other items," said the president, "have been increased in some in stances from 50 to 200 per cent and we have been compelled on account of the increased cost of living to pay employes higher wages. The build ing manager who has his building 100 per cent rented on three and five year leases now finds it a hard task to make fair returns for the owner." President Doty said the association has already sent a telegram congratu lating Secretary Lane on his efforts to reduce the cost of coal and urging him to investigate further, as they consider the cost still too high. Taking up strictly association work, he urged the employment of a paid secretary. "Do not say that we are not ready for it You are ready for it," he insisted. "It can be put on that basis and every day you put it off your owners are losing some part of their income which is going into the pockets of other finely organized bodies." All Soft Drink Parlors Must Stay fSoft" or Close The city council is getting ready to take a side swipe at alleged soft drink parlors which cease to be "soft" when a customer winks his right eye.

The Best Place to Eat MEALS 15c, 25c AND UP V THE BOSTON RESTAURANT 1510 DODGE STREET GOOD SERVICE GOOD FOOD AND COOKED RIGHT Be Careful in Using Soap on Your Hair Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much . alkali, which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle. The best thing to use is just plain mulsified cocoanut oil, for it is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and beats the most expensive soaps or anything else all to pieces. You can get thia at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in, about a tea- spoonful is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff. Advertisement "EVERYBODY STORE" Monday, Sept. 10, 1917.- -STORE NEWS FOR TUESDAY- -Phono Douglas 137.
