Flour Shipment at Auburn
Refused by Freight Train
Lincoln, Tune 30. C. G. Barns,
president of the Albion Milling
company, has sent a protest to the
State Railway commission in which
he states that freignt trains pass

tion that the regular freignt train
which stops at that town would
pull in about 4 o'clock. The milling

Nebraska Farmers Need
1,000 Men to Harvest Wheat
Lincoln, June 30. One thousand
harvest hands are needed by farm
ers of Nebraska to help take care
of the monster wheat crop now
ready for cutting, according to in
formation given out by the state
labor bureau here. The wheat yield
is reported to be the largest in
years, some of the fields going
from 40 to 70 bushels to the acre.
The crop is ripening fast and many
farmers are having trouble m secur
ing help enough to take care of the
gram. Wages ottered range trom
50 to 65 cents an honr, with board.
WHEAT HARVEST
IN STATE NOW
IN FULL SWING
Condition of Grain In Omaha
District Estimated at 99
Per Cent; McCook Division
100 Per Cent.
Three States Now Have Code
Laws Similar to Nebraska
Lincoln, June 30. Three states' in
the union have adopted administra
tive code laws and three more have
made arrangements to pass such a
bill at the next session of the legislature.
States which have already put the
law in effect are Illinois, Michigan
and Idaho, while Iowa has called
special session for next January
to take up the matter, and Califor
nia may adopt a similar plan when
its legislature meets.
The wheat harvest is in full swing
all over the south half of Nebraska
is the report that comes to the Pur
lington from' agents out along the
line and from division superintend
ents. Xhe weather conditions are
perfect and according to the reports,
the former estimate of 70,000,000
bushels of winter and 12,000,000
bushels of spring wheat, stands.
. The condition of the grain as the
harvest approaches, by divisions, is
estimated as follows, the basis of
figuring being on 100 per cent s
perfect crop:
Omaha division, 99; Lincoln, 98;
Wymore, 97; McCook, 100 per cent
Apparently there is no alarming
shortage of harvest hands, it being
said that the wage, $5 per day and
board, is attracting a great number
of men who prior to now have been
engaged in occupations other than
farm work.
In the southwestern portion of
the state a considerable portion of
the wheat is being headed, thus be
ing taken from the fields to the
stacks, doing away with the neces
sity of binding, shocking and later
stacking the grain.
All through the" south half of
Nebraska the harvesting of oats,
rye and barley has been finished
ihe grain has been secured in ex
cellent condition and an enormous
yield is predicted.
At tnis time tne yield ot oats is
placed at 75.000,000 bushels, and bar
ley, 8,000,000 bushels.

crop, says the Burlington report,

CAPTAIN DUNN
LOSES COMMAND
OF MORAL SQUAD
July Detail Places Men Under
Supervision of Captains
Heitfeld and Vanous; Eb
berstein Gives Reason.
The police department detail for
July places the day and night
morals squads under the supervision
of Captains Henry Heitfeld and An
ton Vanous at Central police sta
tion, instead of Capt. John T. Dunn
of the detective department, as has
been the rule.
"This is to relieve Captain Dunn
of some of his duties and to leave
him free to attend to criminal
work," Chief Eberstein explained.
The night morals squad will be
directed by Detective-Sergeant A.
V. Thestrup and the day squad by
Detective-Sergeant H. A. Cunning
ham. Edward Vanous has been trans
ferred, formerly in charge of the
night morals squad, to the detective
department. Charles A. Jenson
transferred from detective depart
ment to morals squad, and J.V.Jan
da promoted from patrolman to
morals squad.
"Figured In Brown Raid."
Detective Vanous and Captain
Dunn figured in the Mrs. Thomas
Brown case, which resulted in the
whitewash in the city council after
an extended hearing. Vanous and
Detective Joseph Potach were de
tained to observe the Brown flats.
They did so for six nights and re
ported back that they did not see
anything wrong. Then Detectives
George Armstrong and John Herd
zin'a were sent out to "get the
works," they at the time being on
the day morals squad, and were
sent to do night duty on this par
ticular occasion.
It was Captain Dunn who got the
orders twisted in connection with
the matter of bonds, Captain Heit
feld and Vanous testifying at the
hearing that they receeived these
orders from Dunn, who testified
that he had erred in one respect,
that of denying bonds to persons
charged with keeping disorderly
houses.
Changes Significant.
Some of the changes in the July
detail are significant in view of the
circumstances of the Brown case,
but the police heads emphatically
deny that any of the changes were
made because certain officers failed
to testify at the Brown hearing like
Commissioner Ringer and Chief
Eberstein thought they should, as
has been charged.
borne of the other changes fol
low:
Dan Lahey promoted from patrol
man to detective force.
Guy B. Knutson transferred from
chief's office to detective department.
J. J. Hughes promoted from pa
trolman to detective.
Art Cooper transferred from de
tective to automobile squad.
F. W. Jackson, chauffeur, trans
ferred from South Side to central
station.
Lee Fleming, returned service
man, resumes his place as chauffeur
at South Side station.
If a man possessed the industry
an darchitectural skill of the African
ant, he could build for himself, with
out any assistance, a house so lofty
that the Woolworth building would
serve as a doorstep to it.

Hair Made Beautifully
Wavy While You Sleep!
Just think, girls) You apply little
liquid ailmerine at bedtime and in the
morning your hair has a prettier wave
and curl than probably it has ever had.
The waviness looks perfectly natural,
and the hair is sleek and glossy like
plush. It will remain in curl the longest
time, regardless of heat, wind or mois
ture, and you won't have to be contin
ually fussing with loose strands or fly
ing ends.
Liquid silmerine is of course entirely
harmless. It leaves no sticky, greasy oi
streaky trace. It has the peculiar quality
of drying in beautiful waves, creases anc
swirls. It is also an excellent dressing
for the hair, keeping it delightfully soft
and silky. A few ounces from youi
druggist will last for weeks. It is best
appHed with a clean tooth brush, drawint
this down the full length of the hair.
