"Increased business requires in creased capital," President Louis F. Swift stated. "The extremely high price of live stock, for which we pay A y cash, the larger stocks of meat that war conditions necessitate and the continuous increase in cost of opera tion have made large demands upon us. We are, therefore, offering to our shareholders $25,000,000 of additional stock for cash at par, at the rate of . one share of new stock for each four shares of old stock. "The $25,000,000 cash proceeds of this issue will greatly strengthen the financial position of the company and will enable it to discharge its function with a full degree of efficiency. "This dividend is not being paid out ' of the earnings, it is being issued against surplus resulting from an ad justment of values of the fixed as sets of the company to values current January 1, 1914, based upon an ap praisement under the American Ap praisal Company of Milwaukee. "The meeting authorized the in crease of the capital stock from $100,000,000 to $150,000,000 and the of ' fering of $25,000,000 at par to present stockholders in the ratio of one share of .new stock for each four shares now held and the issuance of $25,000,000 of - . the new stock as stock dividend to present shareholders was approved."

OMAHA AGENTS , SEIZE ALLEGED ARMY DESERTER William Johnston, an alleged de serter from Camp Dodge, was arrest ed last week in Denison, la., by agents of the Omaha office of the Depart ment of Justice and later turned over to the military officials at the camp. Johnston, it is claimed, threatened the Omaha officer and brandished a butcher knife before he finally was captured. A "tip" received in Omaha that Johnston was at his home in Denison led the Omaha officer to con front his man in his own home. John ston, the agent said, met him at the door and after several threats to "cut the officer's head off, flourished the big knife. The officer, who was un armed, obtained help in the persons of deputy sheriffs from Denison, and after a little "moral suasion," backed by businesfls-looking revolvers, John ston was placed under arrest. New Bevo Plant is World's - Largest Beverage Factory The completion of the new $8,000, 000 Bevo plant in St. Louis is a nota ble war-time industrial achievement. The construction of this plant the largest and most perfectly equipped of its kind in the world, was made necessary by the extraordinary de mand for the highly meritorious non alcoholic beverage perfected under the personal supervision of August A. Busch, president of Anheuser- Busch, who succeeded his father, the late Adolphus Busch, as head of the many great Anheuser-Busch industrial institutions. After years of scientific experi ments and .original research, Bevo was created for two purposes: as an aid to the promotion of Mr. Busch's plans for a real sane temperance pro gram in America, based upon educa tion and intelligent moral develop ment and to supply the public with the. highest quality of non-alcoholic beverage that science and manufac turing skill could produce. Bevo is used extensively on battleships and in cantonments with the approval of the heads of the Navy and War de partments. Besides being president of the Anheuser-Busch Brewing association, the largest industry of its kind in the world, Mr. Busch is interested in many enterprises, including farming, stock raising, banking, manufacturing and railroading. He is also a mem ber of the executive committee of the St. Louis branch of the National Se curity league, which is actively en gaged in work in connection with the prosecution of the, war.

A decision by Judge Woodrough in federal court Monday afternoon pro vides for the disposal of 5,000 acres of Indian tribal land held by Omaha In-, dians in Thurston county, the pro ceeds from which are to be divided equally among approximately 520 In dian children of the Omaha tribe. The value of the land is nearly $300,000. The decision ends a series of legal battles that extended over a period of years. It is favorable both to the United States government the de fendant, and the Omaha tribe of In dians, the majority of whom were in favor of the sale of the land and the distribution of the proceeds among their children, great numbers of whom were left unprotected by the allot ment of lands on Indian reservations, as provided in the treaties of former years between the government and the Indians.

Down Stairs Stora BEST WAY TO WASH THE HAIR We find you can bring out the beauty of your hair to its very best advantage by washing it with Can -throx. It make3 a very simple, in expensive shampoo, which cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly' of all the dandruff, dirt and excess oil, leaving a wonderfully clean, whole- 1 some feeling. After its use you will find that the hair dries quickly and evenly, is never streaked in appear ance and is always bright, soft and fluffy; so fluffy, in fact, that it looka more abundant than it is, and so soft that arranging it becomes a pleasure. Just use a teaspoonful of Canthrox, which you can get from any good druggist's, dissolve it in a cup of hot water; this makes a full cup of shampoo liquid, enough so it is easy to apply it to all the hair in stead of just the top of the head.
