A new head for the Ked Cross or
ganixation for Omaha and Dougla
county is scheduled for next month
by the elimination of Gould Dietz a
local director.
While this is the result of the con
stant friction and dissension insid
the Red Cross which threatened open
opposition to Dietz s re-election, it
is to be brought about as a voluntary
decimation to stand for another term
The method of choosing a succes
sor is by election by a board of d
rectors, every member in good stand
ing being entitled to vote lor the di
rectors. The annual election is to be
held in October, when fifty directors
will be chosen, probably from a list
presented on a ballot similar to the
method employed by the Chamber of
Lommerce.
The coming retirement of Gould
Dietz, though agreed on several
weeks ago, has been kept quiet among
the active Ked Cross workers. We
hope to secure better co-operation
when we have a new director," said
one of them. e ve h4 such a sue
cession ot untortunate occurrences
that have lost us many of our best
helpers and when the women who
have been responding to every call
were publicly denounced by, Mr. Diet
as slackers it certainly did not add
to their 'enthusiasm or improve the
situation. Conditions have reached
a point where something just had to
be done." . '
Who will take. Dietx'a place after

Wattles Warns Consumers - ,
' Against Hoarding of Flour
Food Administrator Wattles has
cautioned consumers not to purchase
more than a 60-day supply of wheat
flour, He says there are some who
seem to be of the opinion that now,
with a relaxation in the purchasing
rules, they are at ..liberty to hoard
Hour. .-
"Under the new food administration
rules consumers are permitted to buy
on the basis of four pounds of wheat
flour to one of substitutes. This;
however, does not mean that any per
son is authorized to buy 100 pounds
of wheat flour and 25 pounds-of sub
stitutes. Consumers are advised that
they should limit their wheat flour
purchases to 25, or 50 pounds, taking
the authorized proportion of accredit
, ed substitutes.

Scheme to Beat Uncle
Sam of Railroad Fare

service, 1108 Farnarh street, Zajicek

to Come Close to Record
Railroad live stock asents assert
that the run of range cattle will be
about the largest in the history of the
cattle business. The present run is
expected to continue for 30 days,
reaching the maximum the last of this
month.
It is said this year range cattle
are in better flesh than usual, due to
the prime condition of the native
grass. All through the west there has
been, an abundance of rain and as a
result, instead of the grass on the
range1 being dead and brown, it is
nearly as green as during June.
Letters on Prisoners Taken
Show Hun Morale Shaken
With the French Armv in France.

from prisoners during recent engage

pleted numbers.
In letters written home both by of

recurring are: "We have been fooled"
nd We have been betrayed. A
staff officer was quoted by one officer
in a letter as having said "Something
giving way." . .

You've been asked to save food, labor,
resources and you want to do it. When

labor and wool if you buy right. The good

' Young Men's Fall Styles
Not all the young men have gone to war; some can't
go, and ought not to go; many who stay wish they could
go. But they have to have clothes; and many of the
older men who are here want young styles. There are
no better models made than these; we can promise you
something that's right.
Get the Quality in the Fabrics
Fine wool fabrics are scarce; but Hart Schaf f ner &
Marx use no other. Their policy seems to be "If we
can't make good clothes, we won't make any." You'll
find grays and blues, browns and tans; you'll find plain
colors, stripes, plaids, checks; and many combinations
of color and pattern. ,
