POLITICAL BOOMS
KEPT UNDER HAT
AT PRESS MEET
Hammond and Howard at
Gathering of Editors, But Do
Not Come Out Openly and
Declare Themselves.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln. Feb. 24. fSDecial.1) If
there were any senatorial or other
political boomlets turned loose dur
ing the session of the State Press
association, they were very neatly
camouflaged by their owners, and very
little ot a political nature was devel
oped. t
The two men who were most in the
; limelight, of course, were Ross Ham
imond and Edgar Howard. Hammond
is suspected of having leanings toward
the republican nomination for the
United States senate, while Howard
has gone even farther than that and
has proclaimed that he has democratic
designs on the same office.
Just Hinted at Something.
The nearest that either of the men
came to hinting in public that their
hearts beat in unison, but with re
verse action, was first given by Ham
mond when at the banquet Thursday
evening, in his talk on his trip to
the trenches in France, he said that
he "hoped at some time to have the
opportunity of serving his country
in a more important capacity than
visiting the battle fields." Outside of
that, if Hammond said anything indi
cating that he would like to get into
the contest for the nomination, it
was purely personal and under very
social conditions.
However, Howard was not so
backward. He is known to have
said to friends at times that he was
a candidate for the democratic
nomination and he even went so far
as to make the prophesy that he was
not only going to land the nomina
tion, but the election as well.
Out at Farmer Meetings,
non Howard has been out speaking
at meetings of the farmers and the
nonpartisan league. He has spoken
when the wind was blowing a 60-mile
clip with the thermometer flittering
around the below zero point, but on
every occasion the wind and the
thermometer never scored against
the eloquence of the lieutenant gov
ernor. Many of the boys would like to
see Clerk Perkins of the Aurora Re
publican get into the race for the re
publican nomination for congress, or
for governor. Ho.wever Perkins is
not making any noise that sounds
like running for ofSce. No one for
a moment doubts his ability or run
ning capacity. What he will do later
depends upon how fiercly he is at
tacked by the political bug and the
extent of the inoculation.
Holdrege Holds Annual
School-Garden Banquet
Holdrege, Neb., Feb. 24. (Special.)
The annual school garden banquet
for those who finished their work
with records and reports was held
last night in the school dining room
and was served by the freshman girls'
cooking class under direction of their
teacher, Miss F. Marie Clayton.
This officially closed the most suc
cessful garden year for Holdrege. Not
only were the net profits per 100
square feet 162 per cent greater than
before, but the work has been made
more intensive.
Holdrege won first and third on
individual canning collections in the
last state fair and as a city won first
on canned vegetable exhibits,; first,
pickles and relishes; first, canned
fruits; third on jellies and third on
fresh vegetables.
The following local awards were
made:
Wallace Erickson, highest yielding
garden, with a net profit of $12, or
at the rate of $5,227.20 per acre. After
deducting labor at 10 cents per hour,
supplies at cost, and rent at $21 per
sere.
Gladys Louthan, biggest and best
canning collection, 143 different varie
ties. Both of above had expenses paid
to the state fair.
First ripe tomato, Ethel Peterson.
Biggest ripe tomito by weight,
Richard Brownf
First one-half pound beans, tied by
.Irma Huetquist, Ormand Fink and
"SPaul Copeland.
The following won firsts and sec
onds in each of eight groups: Ruth
Bohnstedt, Helen Sturtevant, Richard
Brown, Martha Elizabeth Summers,
Paul Copeland, Ormand Fink, Ralph
Wells, Bessie Wells, Horatio Farrar,
Hilmer Johnson. Fannie Messer, Ger
trude Messer, Walker Erickson, Irma
Hultquist, Frances Anderson, Edith
Anderson.'
Objection to Raise on
Dwelling Insurance
(From a. Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Feb. 24. (Special.) That
insurance rates on dwelling houses !
are being boosted in Lincoln contrary
to law, is the charge made by Henry
M. Leavitt in a letter to the attorney
general. He alleges that the com
panies have entered into a combina
tion to boost the rates and he wants
the state to make an investigation.
In his letter to the attorney-general's
office Mr. Leavill charges that
the insurance inspector of Omaha has
notified him that he would have to
raise the rate from 26 to 32 cents
per $100.
He calls the attention of the deputy
attorney-general, to whom the letter
was written, that the insurance com
missioner of Wisconsin had notified
the companies of that state that they
could not raise rates, and hopes that
the same order may be put in effect
liere. ,

Eklund Tells Theosophical
Society Concerning Dreams
In an address on "Dream and Pre
monitions, by J. T. Eklund before the
Theosophical society Sunday night
he said that modern psychology has
dev6ted itself most industriously to
explain one phase of dreams, which
are cuased by impressions made on
the physical senses, or by the desires
of the waking consciousness. This
class of dreams are wholly mechani
cal, lacking in coherence and rational
ity, ihey are simply the revifvi-
fied and disconnected mental images,
leading their aimless dance m the
etherical brain.
The other class of dreams of which
modern psychology can give no con
vincing explanation, are those which
are really memories of experiences
gained on the astral plane during
sleep, when the ego slips out of the
hpysical body and is acting in the
astral vehicle.

So large has been the patronage that plans are already under

Sure Way To Get
Rid Of Dandruff
There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This de
stroys it entirely. To do this, just get
about four ounces of plain, ordinary
liquid arvon: apply it at night when
retiring; use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips.
By morning, most if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it, no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too. that all itchine
and digging of the scalp will stop
instantly, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silKy and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at anv
Irug store. It is inexpensive, and four
ounces is all you will need. This sim
ple remedy has never been known to
fail. Advertisement.

Shafer Company Among Leaders
In Manufacturing Novelties
Do you know that Omaha has one
of the biggest concerns in the country
manufacturing advertising specialties,
calendars, cloth, leather, celluloid,
wood and metal specialties? That is
the M. E. Shafer company at Seven
teenth and Webster streets, where tlie
company recently established its
handsome new home.
Do you know that this company
lias grown from an insignificant be
ginning until it has assumed immense
proportions and that it employs a full
platoon of salesmen , besides a very
large working force in the plant and
iin the office?
A very large percentage of the ad
vertising novelties you see anywhere
around the business section or in the
homes of Omaha, throughout. Ne
braska, and in many of the adjoining
states, are manufactured and put out
by the M. F. Shafer company of
Omaha. When you see an advertising
ruler, blotter, leather purse, letter
case, tobacco pouch, broom holder,
paper weight, calendar or any one of
a thousand little advertising novelties
stuck around in conspicuous places in
Omaha, inquire of someone whether
the M. F. Shafer company made it.
You will find in the vast majority of
cases that this Omaha concern is the
one which turned it out.
Do you know that not many years
ago this company was not in existence
at all? Do you know that not many
years ago M. F. Shafer was a small
hoy puttering around the mud of the
Ohio river, with big ideas buzzing in
his head? Do you know that a few
