SOLDIERS' VOTE
CHIEF ISSUE OF
SPECIAISESSION
. State Solons Probably " Will
: Convene March 19; Await Su
' preme dourt Decision on
Army Voting, v
(From fluff Correspondent) ;
Lincoln, March 11. (Special)
The special session- of the legislature
will be called for Tuesday, March
19. in' all probability.
The official call has not been is
sued,' bat the governor on March 6
?ent the following communication to
all members and has received suf
ficient assurance to warrant the can
ing of the session next week. .
The governor has been holding
back waiting for the supreme court
to hand down its interpretation of the
constitutional provision regarding the
right of soldiers in the regular army
to vote. It is said that this opinion
" may be down tomorrow and if so
the governor will at once issue the
proclamation fot the extra session. ;
Consider Soldiers Vote.
What the proclamation will call for
is still locked up in the mind of the
executive and appears to be of the
time-lock kind. It will, of course,
cover the proposition of the soldiers
voting. The governor is of the opin
ion that a law which will give the
right to mail each soldier his ballot
and let him return it will be the
easiest wav to get around the matter.
It takes 53 days for a transport to go
across the water, coal and water and
return to the, United States. It is
therefore likely that if such a law is
passed the letters would have to
be sent at least 60 days before the
election, in order that they could be
returned by the time the vote is can
' vassed in the several counties.
The primary election will be held
this year on August 20. Election will
be on November .5. This would give
1 but IS day! to jirepare the ballots
and get them away, in order that they
might get back In time. I ' , -;
Tangles In taw.
Another proposition' in the election
taw provides that nominations may
be made by a new party and filed with
the secretary of state 25 days before
; election. Therefore in case the bal
i lots were printed and sent out 60 days
before election, a new party, or any
of the changes which might be made
before the ballots were printed in the
time specified in the law would-not
appear on the soldier ballot. 4 '
It is possible that there may be
, other matters to be taken up by the
special session as specified in the call.
Among them may be the prohibition
and suffrage propositions arid proba
bly the repeal of the Mockett law re
garding the teaching of German in the
oublie schools.
It will probably take 10 days to
tnast the legislation required.

THEIR QWN HAIR
"7 1111
' They do, not because it it a fad,
but because they wish to obtain the
greatest possible hair beauty and be
care they are not using anything
harmful They, have found than in
washing the hair it is never wise to
use a makeshift, but is always advis
able to use a preparation made for
anampoomar - only. Many -.ox-our
friends say they can get the best re
sults from a simple, home-made Can
throx mixture. Yon can use this at
a cost of about 3 eents a shampoo by
retting some Canthrox from your
druggist and dissolving ateaspoonful
in a cop of hot water. This makes
enough shampoo liquid to apply to all
the hair instead of just the top of
the head, as, with most preparations.
Dandruff, excess oil and dirt are dis
solved and entirely disappear in the
rinsing water.; Your hair will be so
fluffy that it win look much heavier
