DRIVE BY CHERRY
COUNTY FARMERS
' i i -
Banchmen of Northwestern
Nebraska to Sell Load of
Cattle for "his War
Purpose.
A Red Cross "cattle drive" is to be
started in Nebraska, according to
word received Monday at the Stock
exchange from representatives of the
Cherry county chapter of the Red
Cross.
The message stated that a number
of ranchmen of that county have been
busy collecting a load of cattle, -which
has been assembled at Thedford, and
which will be shipped to the Omaha
market Wednesday. This will be the
first load of cattle to be sold on this
market for the benefit of the Red
Cross. The movement is thought to
have originated among cattle men
following the immense success by the
farmers in raising a fund of over
$300,000 for the Red Cross through
the sale of hogs on the South Side
market since last February.
Stockmen are much interested in
the report from Cherry county, which
they take to mean will be the start
ing of another large fund for the Ne
braska Red Cross societies.

TWO-YEAR TERMS
GIVEN TO SCHOOL
BOARD OFFICERS
Bourke and Finlayson Re
Elected to Positions, With
Increases in Salaries;
No Business Manager.
W. T. Bourke and Duncan Finlay
son, secretary and superintendent of
buildings of the school district, were
unanimouly re-elected last night by
the Board of Education for terms of
two years each, and at salaries which
were increased from $3,000 to $3,600 a
year.
Charles Eads was re-elected custo
dian of the warehouse for two years
at his present salary of $1,80Q a year
and Frank H. Woodland was re
elected attorney for one year at pres
ent compensation of $1,000 a year.
Oppose Business Manager.
Mr. Brogan's resolution to create
a new office of business manager for
the school system was defeated, 7 to 2,
Mr. McGilton being the only mem
ber who rallied to the support of the
proposal.
"I believe that the board eventually
will come to the appointment of a
business manager," Mr. Brogan
stated. "Our present plan has the in
herent vice of a divided responsibility
on the physical side. We have 12
members and various committees and
we pass perfunctorily on committee
reports. This school district has re
ceived from school board members
services to which it has not been en
titled." "Where there is a divided responsi
bility, there is not the same intelligent
thought applied as where the authori
ty is centralized," Mr. McGilton said.
''New York City has a general superin
tendent of education and a superin
tendent of the business affairs of the
schools. The proposed business man
ager for the Omaha schools would
save his salary six times the first year
in the handling of coal. With a busi
ness manager I would favor reducing
our board to about five members."
' Freshies Hang On.
Superintendent Beveridge submitted
an abstract of a survey made of 154
freshmen pupils at Central High
school last semester. Five per cent,
more remained through the semester
than had been recorded during
previous terms. He explained that
the new policy is to promote closer
co-operation between the high school
and elementary schools. Of that class
29 per cent, of the boys and 23 per
cent, of the girls expressed no voca
tional choice, , while 66 girls and 65
boys intended to complete the high
school course. Thirty-three of the
boys worked durfng their spare hours,
earning from $2 to $9 per week. One
boy had been engaged at housework.
R. M. Marrs of Lincoln sent written
acceptance of his appointment as
principal of South High school.
A cooking department will be added
to High School of Commerce.

tion cost $2,567.72.

Hair Often Ruined
By Washing With Soap
Soap should be used very carefully,
if you want to keep your hair looking
its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use, is
just ordinary-mulsified cocoanut'eil
(which is pure and igreaseless) , and
is better than the most expensive soap
or anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in. It makes an abund
ance of rich, creamy lather, which
rinses out easily, removing every par
ticle of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and it leaves the scalp
soft, and the hair fine and silky,
bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it'a very chean. and
a few ounces will supply every mem-
oer oi tne iamny zor montns. Adv.
Asks District Court
to Examine Books of
Husband's Business
A petition to the district court to
examine the '. ooks of her husband's
business transactions is the latest
move in the divorce action of Mrs.
Martha Lee against her husband,
George H. Lee, head of the George. H.
Lee company, incubator and poultry
supply dealers at 1115 Harney street.
The divorce suit of the Lees has
been running for two and one-half
years. Mrs. Lee's first petition was
filed in January, 1916. She charged
abandonment. This petition was fol
lowed by an answer and cross-petition
filed by her husband and Mrs.
Lee's answer to the cross-petition and
a reply by her husband. Mrs. Lee
charged cruelty as an added reason
for divorce in one of her later re
plies. Mr. Lee has charged cruelty also and
says that he has been unable to live
with his wife since May 22, 1914, be
cause of her cruel treatment of him.
Mrs. Lee's latest "request to ex
amine the books of her husband is
based on a desire to learn his as
sets, so that she can determine a suit
able amount of alimony to ask for.

The Bee's Fund For
Free Milk and Ice
It doesn't require much imagination
to tell you how the babies and small
children of the very poor must suffer
during these hot days.
A high toll of little lives is taken
because of poor nourishment and bad
conditions.
The Bee's Fund for Free Milk and
Ice provides such little ones with pure,
cool milk. The city nurses find the
needy cases and order the milk and
ice while the bills are paid out of this
fund. Scores of the little ones are
being provided with these necessities
daily. The need is great.
Will you give something to help
the babies to health and happiness
and life during the hot weather?
Send or bring any sum from 10
cents to $5.00 to The Bee office.
It will bring life and health to lit
tle ones in dire need.

Nebraska's Winter Wheat
Crop Not Encouraging
The Burlington's weekly crop re-
! port indicates that the threshing of
tl-liMlt la .nit n1.-.,..Y n h .1 n.ti.tn , ti a
quality is excellent, the yield is some
thing of a disappointment.
Returns from localities where
threshing has been in progress places
the average yieldper acre as follows:
Omaha, 16 bushels to the acre; Lin
coln, 14; Wymore, 16, and McCook, 9.
These figures are for winter wheat.
Spring grain, on account of dry
weather, has suffered rnore than the
w inter variety.
According to the Burlington's re
port, corn is holding up well, but it is
raidly nearing the stage where it will
be seriously injured unless rain comes
within the next few days.
The potato crop has been damaged
considerably and it is predicted that
a full crop is out of the question.
