Father Kidnaps Son;

Blamed by the Judge
Following an argument about a
kitchen cabinet which is alleged to
have been given "another woman"
by her husband. Mrs. Lucille Coff
nian, Fifty-sixth and Sprague
streets, reported to police that her
husband, Charles Colfman, had kid
naped their 5-ycar-olU son, Clifford,
and disappeared.
Charles is a paper hanger. His
wife claims he came to their home
Tuesday afternoon and took Clif
ford away from her, leaving her
with no means of support and three
small daughters, 6 weeks old, 21
months old and 3 years old.
Charles called her on the tele
phone this morning, she said, and
told her to pack up her belongings
and' get ready to move to California.
They were in California several
years ago and found that the cli
mate did not agree with her. For
this reason, Mrs. Coffman believes,
her husband made this offer, know
ing that she would not go with him.
Police are searching the city for
Charles and Clifford.
Crop Outloqk Is Bright In
Spite of Backward Spring
In spite of One of the most unsea
sonable and backward spring seasons
ever experienced throughout Ne
braska, reports received yesterday
by the Union Pacific indicate the
crop outlook wfis never brighter.
Fall wheat has not been damaged
and indications point to a bumper
crop. Heavy losses to fruit growers
whiqh were feared following the
Easter blizzard have not material
ized, and it was conservatively es
timated the damage would not be
greater than 20 to 30 per cent. Prob
able future shortage of potatoes is
in prospect through the reluctance
of farmers in buying seed potatoes
at present prices.

ed to Buy In Gas Plant

The Metropolitan Water board
has been requested by Mayor Smith
to indicate what materials and gupr
plies it would wish the city to buy
in connection with the purchase of
the gas plant.

July 1 it wishes to take over the
accounts receivable," the mayor
stated. "When the board indicates
its wishes the city will act accord
ingly." The Water board will consider
the matter at its regular meeting this
afternoon.
The gas company claims that im
provements made since June, 1918,
with materials and supplies now on
hand, will inventory about $300,000
and wauld be a matter of consider
ation apart from the appraised val
uation of $4,500,000.
It has been agreed that the gas
company will operate the plant un
til July, accepting the net revenues
in lieu of interest on the appraisal
award. The city officials are pre

plant on July 1. and turn it over to
the Metropolitan water board on
that date, according to the provisions
of legislative enactment on the
subject.

Washing Won't Rid
Head of Dandruff
The only sure way to get rid of
dandruff is to dissolve it, then you
destroy it entirely. To do this, get
about four ounces of ordinary liquid
arvon; apply it at night when retir
ing; use enough to moisten the scalp
and rub it in gently with the finger
tips. ,
Do this tonight and by morning
most, if not all, of your dandruff
will be gone, and three or four more
applications will completely dissolve
and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace of it, no matter how
much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop
at once, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. It is inexpensive and
never fails to do tho work.
