TWO-THIRDS OF
CITY'S QUOTA
IS SUBSCRIBED
Victory Bond Sales Reach
$6,025,000 at Noon Mon
day; Drive to Continue
Until Mark Is Passed.
i
Omaha at noon yesterday had sub
scribed tq $6,025,000 of the Fifth
Liberty loan notes. This is about
two-thirds of the city's quota of
?9 171,550.
Hopes expressed early last week
that" the city would go "over the
top" easily in the first week of the
drive and that the drive would be
all completed and, "put on ice" be
fore last Saturday, were not realized.
The workers are fully confident
that Omaha will go "over the top"
long: before the official end of the
drive for the Fifth Liberty loan,
which is May 20.
"We are going to keep right
'after it." said Sant Burns, head of
'the 600 men workers in the city.
"Naturally it's a harder ' pull this
time with the war excitement gone.
We will go back over- the ground
and try to get those who have
taken to take more and to get new
subscribers. Omaha will not fall
down.'' ' ' . '
The plan is to continue ''.he
steady work of soliciting, to main
tain the daily noon program on ihe
court house square' and to have
occasional parades and "stunts."
though these will not come svery
day as during the past week.
The, If lying circus- was the big
stunt in the drive yesterday. Air
planes flew over the city, though the
cloud which were said to hang
within 600 feet of the earth inter
ferred with the flying exhibition.

WARDROBE
TRUNK
There is real common sense in just
noticing whether the hair is well
kept to judge of a woman's neatness,
or good taste. If you are one of the
few who try to make the most of
your hair, remember that it is not
advisable to wash the hair with any
cleanser made for all purposes, but
always use some good shampoo.
You can enjoy the very best by get
ting some canthrox from your drug
gist, dissolve a teaspoonful 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.
Dandruff, excess oil, and dirt are
dissolved and entirely disappear.
Your hair will be so fluffy that it
will look much heavier than it is. Its
luster and softness will also delight
you, while the stimulated scalp gains
the health which insures hair
The best and( most
practical trunk made.
The padded top pre
vents clothes from falling
off the hangers.
The lift top makes all
garments equally easy to
get.
Outside construction of
trunk is supreme in trunk
building.
Priced no higher than
ordinary trunks.
Just more detail and
thought put into the
trunk for your comfort.
