Bruce McCulloch, in New York.
Misses , White Stetsons as
Omaha Stockmen Hit Great
Metropolis.
Bruce McCulloch, editor of the
Journal-Stockman, who accompanied
the delegation of-Omaha live stock
men to the annual convention of the
National Live Stock exchange in New
York, with Mrs. McCulloch is spend
ing a vacation in the east. A letter
from' him yesterday says:
"New York is no live stock town
and stockmen are rather scarce. In
I. the crowd at the hotel, however, the
f stockmen " seem to ' size up - very fa
f vorably with the natives. There is a
- change that has been coming over the
business during the last quarter of a
century. There is not a big white
Stetson hat in the looby,' and a stran
ger would never surmise that the
crowd included nearly 200 stock deal
ers from all sections of he country.
Patriotism in Gotham.
. "New York is so much nearer the
war in every way than Omaha, we
could rr6t but mark the d'fference.
Recruiting is going on all over the
city, where crowds congregate, and
the WarSavings stamps, Red Cross
and other patriotic drives are being
pushed every hour of the day and
night.
, "Another reminder of war time
, came when the delegation took a little
trip around the, city in an excursion
.boat. We were warned that we must
not have either field glasses or cameras,-
and later learned the reason
when our boat passed the Brooklyn
"navy-yard, the yards where submarine
chasers are under construction, and
several big camouflaged battleships,
cruisers and transports were lying at
anchor.
' Baggage Is Inspected.
' "At Buffalo there were a dozen or
more badly maimed Canadian soldiers
that appealed, very strongly to ' the
crowds about the depot.
"At Niagara - there were United
States troops guarding the American
end of the international bridge and
Canadian troops on the Canadian side.
Not only our baggage but our persons
were subjected to the scrutiny of the
,United States and Canadian officers.
'it was a distinct shock for two or
three of the party to be questioned as
to their nationalities, and as to
whether they were within the draft
age. " i

Auto Poker is Omaha's 9
Latest Game of Chance;
Police Are Perplexed
Ever play auto poker?
No?
Well, ask the corner policeman
about it. Auto poker has jarred
his equanimity until he is a much
puzzled, perplexed and perturbed
man of .he law.
Auto poker, according to the
Omaha police, just now is in the
zenith of its glory. Stroll about
the Lincoln school in the -twilight
and watch a bunch of boys, their
hands full of nickels and pennies,
gambling at auto poker.
One lad will select an approach
ing automobile. His competitor
will take the next one. They read
the numbers on the back of the
machines. In ,the numbers there
may be a pair of fives, while three
sevens -may be on the car follow
ing. Imagine the rest.
But how are police going to ar
rest auto poker players when
there is no gambling parapher
nalia in sight?

A SHAMPOO WORTH TRYING
It is not necessary to shampoo
your hair so frequently if it is en-
tirely and properly cleansed each
time by. the .use, of really good
shampoo. The easiest to use and
ouickest drvine shamnoo that we can
recommend to our readers is one that
,.' brings out all the natural beauty of
the hair and may be enjoyed at very
little expense, by dissolving a tea-
poonful of Canthrox, which can be
obtained from any druggist's, 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
instead of just to the top of the head.
This, when rubbed into the scalp
and onto every strand of hair, chem
ically dissolves all impurities. It
Is irery soothing and cooling in its
tction, as well as beneficial to both
- icalp and hair.After rinsing out the
lather so created, you will find the
walp is fresh, clean and free from
Jandruff, while the hair dries quick
ly and evenly, developing a bjright
luster and a soft fluffiness that
makes it seem very heavy. Adv.
