OSCEOLA, Neb,, July T7.—(Special.)— Polk county farmers are all preparing for the harvest of wheat and some have already commenced work in their fields. The prospect is the best for the county over of any that has been had during the last few years, and many farmers are looking forward to a yield that will av- erage at least thirty-five or forty bushels to the acre. The Van Doren Implement company of Osceola disposed of Its stock of farm implements this week to ‘W, 8. McKint- ney of Dougl Neb.

LINCOLMR, dwly 7.—(8pecial.)—The death of Postmaster Francls W. Brown, after serving but about eight months as post- master of Lincoln, will again open up the postoffice controversy which was carried on for so long before the matter was settled by the appointment of Mr. | Brown, who had the support of Mr. | Bryan, as against A. V. Johnson, who | was backed by Congressman Maguire. | Already the work is being started quietly and a few aspiring candidates are getting ready in an effort to get both the endorsement of Mr. Bryan and Senator Hitchcock, which has heen shown to be a very difficult proposition to face. It is expected that Sam Whiting, can- didate when the fight was on before be- tween Mr. Brown and Mr. Johnson, will get into the race, while John J. Gilligan admits that he would not refuse the place it it was tendered him. THE BEE: 'WHY TEACH PUPILS suming Too Many Burdens and Duties of the Home. agent for the board. During a discussion of a proposed re- vision of the rules, started by D. E. Jenkins, W. A. Foster suggested that ways and means be provided for furnish- ing the public with information regarding the proceedings of the board. He said A man had asked him why the board had discontinued teaching American history in the high school, which the board has not done. Acting Chairman Cowell con- Editor John W. Cutright may get into the scrap. At present Mr. Cutright, who edits the Lincoln Daily Star in the fore- | noon and goes to the ball games in the | afternoon, is just ‘“considering” the mat- | ter. Cutright, as editor of the Star, wrote | some things in the late city eampaign against Brother Charles Bryan that mayv convince the brother of Brother Bill thut Cutright is not worthy of his endorse- ment. Then, too, Cutright made a speech in which he said that Brother Charlie's platform was “Tommyrot,” or something | Ilke that, and that may still be remem- bered. 1 A. V. Johnson will probably again be a candidate also, although he has not so | announced. Kaley Returns After Visit to the North (From a Staff Corespondent.) LINCOLN, July 7.—(Special.)—Colone} C. W. Kaley of Red Cloud, many years | ago a member of the Nebraska legisla- | ture, was at the state house this morn-| ing, having just returned from a trip to!

Cowel} on Laundry Work. In connection with making an appros priation for $3%0 for apparatus for the laundering department of the household | economics department of Central High school, Chairman Cowell made this pub- lie statement: I wish it understood that there is no thought to use this de- partment for washing the dirty linen of the school board. I am a strong stickler for teaching these branches at home. Where are we to end? We might teach the mothers at the high school hew to teach their girls to wash. . What will these girls wash at the high school?" What Other Members Think. On the subject of laundering at the high school members of the board made these statements for public consumption: D, B. Jenkinst *I might explain that the purpose is to teach the girls how to wash and also how to fron. This Is a belated feature of the household econ- omics department of the high school. The girls will wash the high school towels, and other articles.” W. A. Foster: “To teach girls how to wash is to teach them how to handle an 'mportant department of their pros- pective homes." Superintendent Graff: to be desired. sewing should be extended to the grade schools. There is an educational validity in this work." Miss Mary McIntosh of the high school faculty is now taking a speclal course in laundering at Columbia university and will have charge of this new feature at the high school, beginning in September. Would Revise Rules. Mr. Jenkins secured the adoption of & resolution directing the Jjudiclary and teachers’ committee to revise the rules of the board. On this subject, Mr. Jen- kins sald: “I belleve the rule that the high school teachers should teach five hours a day should be changed to require these teachers to spend at least seven hours a day at this school. Many chil- dren spend considerable time in the after- noons at picture shows and soda foun- tains when they should be engaged In supervised study. They need these hours, particularly during the two first years of high school life. I also contend that the rules relating to eligibility of teach- ers should be amended. It Is a question whether the product of our teachers’ training department is depriving us of the services of other teachers who come here well equipped to teach. Our teach- ers’ training school certificates do not meel the state requirements. Some teachers who have splendid experience and ability are subjected to examinations for our high school, while others, less qualified, get in without such examina- tions, I understand.” Work During Summer. In the long executive session the board discussed the matter of discharging for the summer twenty engineers, firemen and janitors whose year of service ended June 30. It was decided to hold another executive sesslon on Friday evening. A committee of firemen waited upon the board and presented the situation from their standpoint. ‘The board took cognizance of the South Omaha and Dundee situation by engag- ing John M. Giichrist to audit the ac- counts of the annexed school districts and ordered all supplies and materials moved to the central depots in Omaha.

TODAY'S BEAUTY WELPS | COMPLEXION BEAUTIFIER -— Nothing is more repulsive than to see a woman, with her face all daubed with face powder in her desire to hide marks of age. Instead of using powder, which clogs and enlarges the pores, it is far better to use a good face lotlon that will improve and permanently benefit the skin. By dissolving four ounces of spur- max in one-half pint hot water you can make an inexpensive lotion thav will do wonders as a skin whitener and complexion beautifier. It re- moves all shininess, sallowness and roughness, and gives the skin a smooth, velvety tone, while it does not rub off easily llke powder, nur does it show on the skin. MAKES HAIR FLUFFY — By washing the hair with a teaspoonful of oanthrox dissolved in a cup of hot water, afterwards rinsing thor- oughly with clear water, one finds that it dries quickly and evenly, is unstreaked, bright, soft and very flufly, so fluffy, in fact, that it lJooks more abundant than it is and so soft that arranging it becomes a pleas- ure. This simple, inexpensive sham- poo cleanses the hair and scalp thor- oughly of all dandruff and dirt, and leaves a clean, wholesome feeling. All sealp irritation will disappear, and the hair will be brighter and glossier than ever before.—Adver- tisement WATCH modeling AL E_. 1513 Douglas$ L Prepare for Thrills=<The “I Wil Man's Coming soon Daily papers for full particulars.
