For a Hand Soap With
Most Gratifying
Results
People Of ShOshOne Learn That an
Excellent Liquid Soap is Being
Manufactured at Home

The promoters of Sage Brush Tonic
preparations have been busy the past
year, very busy, in putting the tonic
and shampoo on the market and build
ing up business that is fast becoming
immense Now that the preparations
are thoroughly introduced all over the
Great Northwest and will soon be
pushed in the eastern and central
states, they have been giving some
little attention to what might be called
by-product of the shampoo. The en-
ployes of the factory began using the
shampoo as hand soap several months
ago and it was so convenient to use. SO
pleasant, kept the hands in such ex-
cellent condition and with all was SO
very effective in removing grease, dirt,
boiler black, and other substances that
are so difficult to thoroughly remove
from the skin, that the attention of the
proprietors was called to this new use
of the shampoo.
The shampoo was not intended for
hand soap, it was manufactured to
cleans the scalp of dandruff and leave
it clean and the hair soft and fluffy and
in an excellent condition for the appI-
cation of the tonic, but if the shampoo
excells as soap also, why it was
fact well worth ascertaining.
In quiet way the shampoo has been
tested as a hand soap. The proprietors
used it, gave samples to their friends
for the same purpose, and have been
making thorough test as to its quail
ties in this respect. The shampoo has
proven a valuable toilet preparation
for the hands as well as the head. The
town people are buying it in quite large
quantities and using it for a liquid soap.
1t is most excellent for removing all
foreign substances such as paint, ink.
tar, or other kindred skin dis6gurers.
1t is, perhaps, no better for removing
these substances than many other pre-
parations, but the great value of the
shampoo lies in the fact that its con-
tinual use will not cause the hands TO
become sore but will actually heal bad
cases of cracked or chapped hands and
in the course of short time have the
skin soft and smooth.
The shampoo is not expensive to use
as liquid soap, the amount necessary
being considered. 1t retails at sl.00
per quart, but quart will last an or
dinary family something less than
lifetime.

SHOSHONE AS A MONEY CENTER
Resources of Banks are Half Md
lion and Growing Fast

The commercial Importance of q
town is judged or rated largely by the
magnitude of its bank resources and
deposits. Taking this as standard,
Shoshone certainly stands well to the
front as is evidenced by the published
reports of the two national banks dong
business in this city, the same having
appeared in last weeks issue of the
Journal.
The resources of the First National
are $3.50, 237 al with individual and
other deposits of S186, ATT. Y. The re-
sources of the Lincoln county National
are $l41, ,311. 40 with individual and
other deposits of $76, 490. go This gives
a total of bank resources of $401, 548.81.
1t should be borne in mind that the
First National is patronized largely by
woolgrowers who are now drawing out
their deposits and putting nothing
back. This reduces the showing of
that bank much below normal 1t is
also pertinent at this time to mention
that the deposits of the Lincoln County
National are now over 500, 600.
Taking this gain of the Lincoln County
bank and adding to it the unusual
amounts now withdrawn from the
First National by the woolgrowers and
it makes the normal resources Of the
Shoshone banks aggregate an even
half million dollars $500, 000.
AS matter of fact the total resources
Of these two banks the first week In
May, one week after the reports were
made cur, were over $500, 900.
With bank resources of $500, 600 and
a boom just now beginning owing to
The fact that within a year more thar
LOO. 600 acres of land within a trade
radius of the city will receive water
for irrigation, Shoshone can justly lay
.laim to being the metropolis of Linz
,oin county.

WANT A NICE, EASY, SOFT SNAP?
Try for Exposition Guard, Only
Ten thousand Applications

Would you like to have nice easy
job at the Alaska Yunkon- Pacific ex-
position, which opens in Seattle June L?
To be sure you would. All right.
what kind? Exposition Guard? File
your application with Mr. Wappenstein.
Yours is number 10, 432 Will you get
a job? Well, really now, | can't pro-
mise you anything, for there will be 40
guards on the fair grounds, and those
10, 431 applications must be consi-
dered first No, hardly think you
will get the job.
Never in the city of Seattle has any
one been so swamped with applications
for work as have the officials of the
Alaska Yunkon-Paciic exposition. 1t
seems that about half of the adult
population OF the state wants to work
at the fair, and all of the youngsters.
Applications come in by every mail, and
the offices of the exposition are crowded
with Office seekers. They want all sorts
of jobs, anything in fact that will en-
title them to season pass. Money, in
most cases, is not objected. They
want to work at the exposition, if
they have to pay for the privilege.
And some of the applicants take their
failure to obtain work quite philosoph-
ically, and walk into the treasurers
office to buy a season ticket, which can
be had for ten dollars if bought before
the opening day.
Some of the applicants are not so
easily disposed of, but keep coming day
after day, demand vigorously per-
sonal interview with some oyerworked
chief, present letters from
all sorts of people, endorsements by
political clubs, church societies or
petty politicians, and only finally give
up in disgust with firm belief that the
are the victims of lack of pull or
that there is some graft" connected
with this exposition business. They do
not realize that the responsible posi-
tions at an exposition must be filed by
men of known ability, who
are specialists in their lines, and that
for the unskilled positions there are
fifty applications on file for every job,
and many of them have been assigned
weeks ago.
During the last six months there
have been at all times between two and
three thousand men at work on the fair
grounds, many of them employed by
contractors All employees have been
well paid, and will be, although the ex-
posions could get its labor very cheaply !
if it took advantage of the wild scram-
Dle for jobs But there is little chance
today for the young man who comes to
Seattle because he believes there will /
De hundreds of jobs around the exposi-
Jon. Every position is already spoken
FOR by scores of applicants. The ex-
position is sparing no pains to secure
employees who will minister
% the care and comfort of visitors.
