... 1 ft . 12 ALL WANT TO SHIP ! POTATOES AT ONCE Spsns Says Burlington Doing AU Possible to Help Out the Growers of the State. ntini nun. Aiin . WTiiwn i v: WAtmitnnn "THE BEE: OMAHA, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1917. Conrad Spens, vice president of the Burlington, in charge of traffic, with headquarters in Chicago, is in town, enroute east from Denver. Relative , to the movement of the potatoes from Nebraska, Wyoming and Colorado, Mr. Spcns says: "The Burlington is doing the best ' it can to help the farmers and potato growers in the movement of the :rop. It is impossible to supply a sufficient number of refrigerator cars :o handle the potatoes and apples at his time, due largely to the fact that the crop is large and then, seemingly, ill of the growers appear to be anx ous to move their output at this par :icular time, something that is abso utely impossible. Cars are not nailable, and if they were, at the loading stations the facilities are not adequate to handle the rush business that comes s suddenly. "In many localities farmers, have been short of help, and consequently this fact has delayed getting the pota toes and apples to the points of ship ment. "While we are short on refrigerator cars, we have kept our territory sup plied as well as we could with good, serviceable box cars for shipping out the produce. These cars have been lined, thus making them warm, and in addition we have permitted the instal lation of stoves in which fires have been built, keeping the vegetables and fruit from freezing. These stove's are supplied at the expense of the sliip . pers, but they are returned to point of origin of consignment free of cost."

As a result of the many fires along the Brooklyn waterfront and also in other coast cities, an order declaring all territory within 100 miles of the coastline of the United States a barred zone is ex pected by local federal officials to be issued within a few days. It is estimated that more than 600, 000 enemy aliens would be affected. At a conference at which the attor ney general was represented local fed eral officers emphasized the necessity to safeguard the waterfront of New York and vicinity. The gravity of the situation, it was said, led the officials to decide upon a broad course of ac tion, which is expected to result in the barring of alien Germans from all coast cities. $15,000 Railroad Damage ; Suit is Up for Hearing Hearing of the suit of Frank Maple against the Union Pacific Railway company began in federal court.

The reportof men accepted from the first two detachments sent 'to Camp Funston came yesterday to the Fourth' district local 'board. Out of 130 men but one was sent back after several severe physical ex amination of the camp physicians. This speaks well for the pains with which Dr. Pollard of the Fourth board weeded out the unfit before sending then). John Fraysur was the man sent back. He was the company cook in iti first Hetarhmrnt. He has a wife and two children, but as he married a widow with this tamuy, atter war was declared, he was not exempted. About one-fifth of the total number registering in the Fourth district have been examined and either sent, ex empted or rejected. Thus, if the re mainder in U1C U1S II ILL BIC Ul lilt BOIIIC quality, which is probable, there can he four more delegations of equal size sent from those registered. Xaking it tor grantee inai mc 'mirth Omaha district is renresenta- tive of the whole United States, there can be tour more dratt uuncnes sent to fieht without calling on younger or older men. So there can be 5,000,- 000, instead of the l.UOy.UOU now in training, at the front as soon as the government wishes.

To remove hair, make a stiff paste with a little pow dered delatone and water. Spread this on the hairy surface and in about 2 minutes rub off, wash the skin and the hairs are gone. To guard against disappointment, be careful to get real delatone. Advertisement. 1 Ban Lifted From the Auditorium By the American federation of Musicians SAM CARLO GRAND OPERA CO.
