HOME MADE QUININE
HAIR TONIC

The high cost Of good quinine hair
tonic prevents thousands of men and
women from using such a preparation
daily on the hal This has resulted in
the study and investigation Of the sub
ject by some bright men and women
who use quinine hair tonic regularly,
but who do not care to pay for the ex-
pensive ready made tonics. They find
that by simply mixing one ounce OF
Beta Quinol with half a pint of water
and half pint Of alcohol that they
can make more than full pint OF a
quinine hair tonic Of better quality and
more beneficial to the hair than any OF
the widely advertised brands A tonic
made as described here will help the
hair to become beautiful. glossy, long
and abundant. 1t tends to prevent
dandruff and falling hair and keeps the
scalp In a healthy condition. This
home made tonic is used by women
who have most beautiful hair and
plenty Of it. as well as those whose
hair and scalp are not in perfect con-
dition. The Beta Quinol ard alcohol
can be procured at any drug store for
IS or soc, and they will make more
and better hair tonic than you could
buy for 5000 in q manufactured state.

| related subjects, has taxed the ability
of the travelling library to the utmost
to meet the demands.
The travelling library has been used
by Professor Holden and his corps Of
assistants in their work turnout the
state. They carry with them one Of
the travelling libraries for all their
short courses and distribute the leaf
let's regarding the travelling library ex-
planning 20 the farmers how they may
secure the books on agriculture and
related subjects from the travelling IL
brary. The call for such books has
increased tremendously, and 1t is
aimed to meet these calls as far as
possible. but will need to make much
larger purchase of books to fully meet
the demand. Professor Holden says
that he could use an unlimited number
of these libraries with the sort of books
and agricultural bulletins that have
been provided for them in the short
course collections. He also adds: Il
hope you will not fail to push this
work TO the utmost
High school debating societies have
also learned to Jean on the travelling
library to such IN extent that 1t is
becoming attached to our public
school system. 1t provides the material
for debates for the high school in the
small towns Of the state where no
public library exists or where the H.
brary is not strong enough to provide
sufficient material. 1t would be prac-
tically impossible for the debating
work TO be carried on In these schools
without the ability to secure literature
from the travelling library.
Governor Garst recommended to the
the library commission and bill has
been introduced approLriating money
clerks to look after them. The work
of the travelling library now amounts
to state library which will go to the
reader, whether 1t be Professor Hold
ems short course for farmers, a high
school debating team. or a women's
study club. which seeks its assistance.
The influence of good books upon
character and good citizenship is sec
ond to nothing except the public school
system, and money spent by the state
in giving wise direction to the organ
ization of libraries in the commu-
mites and in sending emergency IL
braries into localities in which other
librariese do not exist, is money
wisely invested.

A ROW IN THE NEIGHBoRHooD.

A neighborhood row is circum-
stance much to be deplored. 1t breaks
up the social activities of the commu-
nifty, starts the children to fighting on
the way home from school, and leads
quiet and prompt paying tenants to
move off the street and into quieter
neighborhoods. No good ever came
from a row between neighbors.
1t starts over the purchase Of lot,
the building of a fence, the barking of
dogs upon chickens or the invasion Of
hens into the back yard. 1t starts
easily. 1t involves the innocent. 1t is
foolish and costly and worthless.
Waterloo and Cedar Falls, close
neighbors with community of inter-
ests, if they only realized the fact,
should remember that a fuss between

neither. When two neighbors whether
individuals or towns begin TO boycott,
each other they make the mistake OF
their lives. Men and cities need theil
neighbors 1t is good for neither to
live alone.
Waterloo should realize that Its
neighboring city is not a suburb: that
it is individually as important in its
way to the state as Waterloo. 1t is a
factory town, building product much
in demand and one that is quite as
ators or other factory products. 1t is
not to be absorbed or dominated by

Cedar Falls is the accident of normal

school 1t is the kind of town desir-
able for the residence of the student
body. 1t is in no danger from Water
loo and ought to be placid and judi
cial as becomes its scholastic char
acter.
1t is a row between the self-made
city and the one which has attained
pre- emnence by inheritance and favor.
Both are worthy individuals OF the
commonwealth. Both should realize
it and shut off the billingsgate that is
being banded back and forth across,
the rear fences. They are attracting
notice of peaceful and
well-bred neighbors like Marshalltown,
Fort Dodge and Sioux City.

CUNMINS SINCE THE WAR.

Senator Cummins has made one OF
his characteristic addresses in thank
ing the legislature and the people of
Iowa for the great honor bestowed
upon him. He was magnificent 1S-
IRE in the hour of his triumph, his
face radiant and his eyes beaming. AS
he held his hand aloft and vowed by
all that was good and holy to serve
the interests of his state as best his
heart and mind should direct, he made
a. picture that deserves to be preserved
in the historical department. He
touched somewhat upon national prob
lens in his address, but had not
word of favor for the Iowa idea,
which leads me to believe that since
he has exchanged his political coat OF
MANY colors for a senator's toga he
has managed to leave the child of his
creation on the doorstep of one OF his
neiehbors Also he failed signally to
extend any thanks to those democrats
who have helped him over several
nieces of rough political road. l heard
one democratic legislator complaining
bitterly on account of this omission,
but I was not the least disturbed by
it myself.
Senator Cumnlins is looking excep-
tionally we'll these days. That strained,
hunted look, which characterized his
appearance and worried his friends last
fall. has entirely disappeared He has
taken on flesh and there is a thicken-
ing at his waist line that promises

The Iowa Farmers Sense.


Iowa farmers are being transformed
into wideawake. enterprising business
men who believe in modern business
methods. AS one instance of what we
mean. note their use of the advertising
columns of the papers. 1t doesn't take
half a minute to sell the average farm
er generous space in which to adj
Vertise his public sale, because he
knows the value of getting the people
there. The average sale amounts to
two or three thousand dollars, and the
stuff is sold in three or four hours
time. The necessity for wide publicity
is self evident. and Mr. Farmer APP
preciates the fact that he can reach
more people ten times over thru the
paper than he can by any other means
at his disposal.

The Strawpile


, there is no current with sufficient force
to wash or carry the sediment out that
collects in the ditch. and the same ac-
ton of pressing in and caving and slid
ing in. would go on as 1t did in the
first one until it would be filled up
again
Let us see who is interested In this
scheme to bring another hardship
upon the people owning land along
the west branch of the Iowa river. 1t
is not the majority Of the people own
ing land and those who would be taxed
for the project becauses 95 per cent of
the people in the district who would be
affected and taxed for the cost of con-
structon are demonstrating against the
establishment of this drainage district
by the board of supervisors. But the
mist is not so heavy but we can see
why it is that such pressure is being
brought on the board of supervisors to
establish the district. Our county is
headquarters for drainage corpora
ton which does not lose an opportun-
ity to have a drainage district estab-
lished whenever possible. And the legal
profession of our county, seeing crop
sown on good soil. does not wish to
see 1t ,blighted. The lawyers know that
If this drainage district is established
against the wishes of such majority
of land owners, they will at once ap-
peal to the court from the decision of
the supervisors in establishing the dis
trict and there would be something in
teresting going on for a time In the
future with good living following it
up.
Even our county attorney. claiming,
as he does, that he has no right to
take sides, is apparently leaning with
the petitioners.
We understand that one of the mem
bers of the board of supervisors is a
petitioner for this drainage district.
and as such he is able to make use
Of the power of his office to further
his own interest.
Now in regard to our drainage laws,
there are some that need to be amend
ed. A law that gives one person or
more. and the board of supervisors,
the power and authority to levy tax
on 80 per cent Of the people in COM
munty by forming them in drainage
district against their wishes and con-
sent, and saying it will be benefit to
them. and against any protest that they
can offer, levy a tax for what they
may choose to term a benefit to those
that are taxed Now isn't that like
some one buying present for us and
then having it charged up to us to
pay for? We don't appreciate that
kind of q gift. We hope the legislature
that is now in session will repeal such
laws as we now have. which give a
few the power to vote a tax upon the
majority for any Improvement. The
farmer and land owner is not so slow
to see and take advantage of a thing
that is a benefit to him and within
his means. When the majority of them
want an improvement and are willing
to be taxed, it is evident they are
right, but if only 5 or 10 per cent
wish to be taxed for an Improvement
it is altogether likely they are wrong.
We hope the law makers will observe
the spirit that should always prevail
in our land, that we are ruled and gov
erned and taxed by the majority.
