, Patriotic Omahans will talk and
think in terms of Liberty bonds dur
ing the next four weeksj Liberty
bonds will be the watchword in Oma
ha homes and business institutions.
At the end of the active campaign the
cilisen who has not purchased at
.'cast one bond will have to have an
excellent reason.
While the intensive campaign does
not begin in this city until Thursday
morning, when salesmen start out,
rverything is hustle and bustle at
Liberty loan headquarters in the
Federal Reserve bank, Thirteenth
and Farnam streets. Scores of men
and women are busy preparing the
literature and business men who are
donating their time are making fijial
plans for the big drive which will
soon be under way. When it was
decided to advance the opening of
the sale a week it made just that
much more hustle for the managers
to get things in readiness.
Get Quota Early.
While it is announced the bonds
arc about printed, none have reached
Omaha as yet. The bonds will bear
interest from May 9, 1918, and the
banks have already sent their money
to Washington, so that Omaha may
get its quota at the earliest possible
moment.
Women in the hotel lobbies Mon
day reported sales amounting to
more than $4,000, while the women
in the Liberty bank had an excellent
daj One sale of $50,000 was re
ported. '

ineetings desired.
The model program will be given
at the West Benson High school, be
ginning at 8 o'clock. Similar pro

that at each school the principal is
co-operating with the local commit

ether in preparing an effective pro

Iransferred from the Florence school

GERMANS SOUGHT
TO SHAPE POLICY
J)F0.yS CHARGE
Hearst's Activities Bared at
Hearing on Proposed Revo
cation of Charter of German-American
Alliance.
Washington, April 9. Positive
charges that individual members of
the German-American alliance sup
ported propaganda to mold the policy
of the United States in the event of
war with Germany were made today
By Prof. E. E. Spcrry of Syracuse uni
versity before the senate committee
considering the bill to revoke the or
ganization's charter.
Members, he said, backed the
American embargo conference, the
American Neutrality league and other
organizations which he charged were
part of the pan-German league.
German school teachers years ago,
Sperry said, were teaching their
charges that "the time is coming
when Germans in the United States
would have the right that is their
due."
Hearst Backs Plan.
At the convention of the National
German-American alliance in New
York In 1907, Sperry declared, Wil
liam Randolph Hearst proposed
establishment of an international IGer
man alliance, the effect of which,
Spcrry said, would have been to ex
tend "the activities of the German
American alliance to Germany.
Mr. Hearst offered to pay the ex
penses of the delegates from this
country to Germany for this pur
poses, said Sperry.
The plan never was carried out.
Sperry said, but delegates went to
Cambridge, Mass., at the expense of
Mr. Hearst, where a dedication of a
German memorial took place. At the
same convention the German-American
alliance sent a message express
ing a cordiality and good will of the
members to the German emperor,
Sperry said.
The first German propagandist to
come here officially as a representa
tive of the pan-German league was
Karl "Peters, who came here in 1893
to begin the propaganda work, Mr.
Sperry said. Later a propagandist
named Von Rintelcn came for the
same purpose.
"Mr. von Rintelen had a plan to
bribe members of congress directly,"
Mr. Sperry said.
"That is if he could," interposed
Senator King of Utah, chairman of
the committee.
"Oh, yes," Mr. Sperry replied, "if
he could."
Mr. Sperry declared that the real
membership of the American em
bargo conference consisted only of
five persons' and" that it was sup
ported by German-American organ
izations, which contributed $57,000
for the purpose.

High School Boys Helping
With Mails in Postoffice
More than 40 high school boys are
helping to relieve the congestion at
the Omaha postoffice by working
after school hours in the mailing and
city distribution departments. The
heaviest mail in the history of the
postoffice has been received within
the last few weeks and the parcel
post business has grown so large that
nearly all departments have been
swamped. 1
Postoffice officials say that the in
creased mail is due to war conditions-
and that many business firms
are doing their buying and selling by
mail since their salesmen have gone
to -war. - .

A Single Application
Banishes Every Hair
The only sure way to get rid of
dandruff is to dissolve it, then you
destroy it entirely. To do this, get
about four ounces of ordinary liquid
arvon; apply it at night when retir
ing; use enough to moisten the scalp
and rub it in gently with the finger
tips.
. Do this tonight, and by morning
most if not all of your dandruff will
be gone and three of four more ap
plications 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 itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, 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 any
drug store. It is inexpensive and
never fails to do the work. M
