STOCK GARS ARE
BEING RELEASED
TO SHIPPERS NOW
Territory West of Missouri
. River Soon Will Be Supplied
' . With Rolling Stock, Says
. . Traveling Agent.
The stock car situation is rapidly
Vrowing better in the opinion of D.
t. Cutler, general live stock agent
ef the Chicago & Northwestern rail
toad, who was a visitor at the stock
yards Friday. He said there were
plenty of cars east of the Missouri
' river and that lines west of the
river were commencing to get relief
nd that the situation would be bet
ter next week.
Mr. Cutler said the stock car
shortage was not the only complaint
live stock men had. He said they
. were hit pretty hard in many ways
this year and that the outlook of
tight financial situation and poor
market prospects promised more
trouble. '
- "That there will be a large de
crease in receipts of cattle at the
markets this summer and fall is a
foregon conclusion," said Mr. Cur
ler. "This should help out on boost
ing prices. As" a whole stockmen,
who are an optimistic set of in
dividuals, are making the best of
the situation and are hoping for bet
ter times."

City May Purchase
All Equipment Used
By Omaha Gas Co.
The Metropolitan Water board
yesterday afternoon advised Mayor
Smith that it would be agreeable if
the city will buy all supplies and ac
counts receivable of the Omaha Gas
Co., at the time of the formal pur
chase of the gas plant on July 1.
The supplies will include gas
stoves and other fixtures. The ac
counts receivable will amount to
more than $100,000, which will be
the June bills and for which the city
will be reimbursed within a few
weeks after municipal ownership.
A check is now being made of the
improvements and extensions which
have beefl made since June, 1918, the
date of the appraisement. These im
provements, together with supplies
and accounts receivable, will amount
to approximately $300,000, which
will be added to the appraisal
amount of $4,500,000.
To Have Wavy Hair
Like Nature's Own
Here's a brand new recipe of unques
tioned merit, that joa should make note
of, unless you are one of the few possessors
of naturally wavy hair. It's very simple.
for all you need do is to apply a little
liquid silmerinc before doing up the hair
with a clean tooth brush and in three
hours you will find this has dried in the
sweetest eurls and waves imaginable. They
will be iust like "Nature's own," having;
no resemblance to the effect produced by
a hot iron, which is so obviously artificial.
The application is really beneficial to
the hair and gives it that lively lustre
so much desired. As it is so easy to ob
tain a few ounces of the liquid silmerinc
from your druggist sufficient to keep the
hair curly for many weeks there's no
reason now for putting up with either
that straight, contrary bair or with the
curling iron nuisanee.

No Man Can Pull Himself Up
By His Own Boot Straps
The theory of reducing prices effectively by irrational and
unreasonable reductions at retail is all bunk.
Retailers are buyers in the primary mar
kets. .
You might as well try to permanently
lower prices by urging increase of buying
by consumers (and that is what is being
done).
Men

dependable wearables they
have been accustomed to
find, and many opportuni
ties to secure garments at
