KILL THE GERMS
That's the Only Way to Cure Dandruff
and Partisan Sage is the
Only Killer.

Partisan Sage soaks into the
scalp, and when it reaches the roots
of the hair it not only kills every
dandruff germ, but it supplies the
hair with just the right kind of
nOurlShment to put VlgOr and
strength into it and make it grow.
Partisan Sage is the most de-
lightful hair dressing in the world
and is not sticky or greasy. Use it
one week and you will never give
it up.
Partisan Sage is guaranteed by
L. M. Wood to stop falling hair; tC
cure dandruff; to keep hair iron
fading: to stop itching of the scalp
or money back. Price so cents &

burn hair is on every bottle.

Changes in Autumn Tailor-Mades.


Suits are beginning to be a most
important subject. 1t is definitely
settled that coats are to be decided
ly shorter than they have been, says
Mrs. Simcox in The Delineator for
September. The conservative En-
glish tailors hold to the thirty-six
inch length, the French chop theirs
off just below the hips, while we,
as usual, tempOrize. The best
dressed American women will wear
their coats almost ii not quite as
ahort as the Paris-made models, but
tie more conservative element will
compromise and wear theirs almost
thirty inches long
There are two distinc, types of
suit coats. The tailor-made suit
has a severely plain jacket. 1t is
quite short and is either semi or
rather close-fttinG It's sleeves are
small with little or no fulness at the

Indirect Tax of Bad Roads.

A correspondent of the Kansas
City Star, signing himself Country
MisSourian," proves that bad roads
are a tax. He says:
From examination of statistics
in the United States Office of Pub
lie Roads it appears that in COM
munities where there there are Or
binary, upimproved roads the cost
to the farmers along these is 76
cents per acre each year greater
than to the farmers in districts
where are modern improved roads
such as rock roads. This differ
ence is perhaps higher in Missouri,
where ordinary dirt roads, the same
as they were fifty years ago, are
still the transportation link from
farm to shipping point or market
town.
AS against this cost of inferior
roads under the Special Road Dis
trict Law of Missouri, a 16-foot
wide macadamized rock road, the
best of country roads can be con-
structed at an average cost for
each acre, in a district extending
back a mile on either side, of 33
cents each year for twenty years,
and this cost and the cost of main
tenance is far more than set off by
an increased annual income of rs
per cent and more from each acre
and a corresponding increase in its
market value. The return from
such a rock road can be safely put
down at four times its cost of con-
struction and maintenance.
Two roads run in a western and
southwestern direction from Wash
ineton, Franklin county, Missouri.
One is earth, the other gravel, and
although the sections of country
along the two roads is of equal pro-
ductiveness the land on the earth
road sells at from $50 to $50 per
acre, while at an equal distance
from town on the gravel road land
is worth from $50 to 500 per acre
The construction of good roads
near Springfield, Mo-, is increasing
the land valuation along these

A Popular and Prosperous
Normal School.

The State Normal School at Kinks
vile has completed its most success
full year with an enrolment of 1,400
and an average daily attendance of
$50 students. Ofthe 1,400 students
enrolled during the past year 700
will teach in rural and small village
schools during the ensuing year;
200 will teach in high schools and
superintendencies Nearly 400 will
continue their school studies in va
rious institutions
The Kirksville Normal School is
very ambitious TO serve Missouri
and to help place the public schools
of northeast Missouri ahead of all
other schools of the Mississippi Val
ley. President Kirk recently made
some extensive comparisons. He
says the rural schools Of north east
Missouri are very much better than
those OF our boastful neighbors in
Iowa, Minnesota ana WincOnsin He
aScribes this condition in part to
the facts that Normal School and
! College graduates in Missouri are
practical and sensible. Many of
them teach in rural schools and
draw better WAGES than the teach
ers in town schools. The high
schools and colleges Of northeast
, Missouri are not surpassed in the
Mississippi Valley
The Kirksville institut ion has re-
Gently organized a Model Rural
, School with its own independent

A Prayer for All Teachers.


The American Magazine for
August contains the following pray
er, For All Teachers" by Walter
Rauschenbush:
we implore thy blessing, o God,
on all the men and women who
teach the children and youth of our
nation, for into their hands we daily
commit the dearest that we have.
We know that they are the potent
friends and helpers of our homes,
and that as they make our children
so shall future years see them.
Grant them an abiding conscious
ness that they are co-wOrkers with
thee, thou great teacher of human
ity, and that thou hast charged
them with the holy duty of bring
ing forth from the budding life of
the young the mysterious stories of
character and ability which thou
hast hidden in them. Teach them
to reverance the young lives, clean
and plastic, which have newly come
from thee, and to realize that gen.
eratjons still unborn shall rue their
sloth or rise to higher levels through
their wisdom and faithfulnesS. Grid
them for their task with a double
measure of thy patience and tran
guilty, with a great fatherly and
mOtherly love for the young, and
with special tenderness for the
backward and afflicted. Save them
from physical exhaustion, from
loneliness and discouragement, from
the numbnesS Of routine, and from
all bitterness of heart.
I'VE bless thee for the free and
noble spirit that is breathing with
quickening power upon the educa-
tional life of our day, and for the
men and women of large mind and
loving heart who have made that
spirit our common possession by
their teaching and example. But
grant that a higher obedience and
Self-restraint may grow in the new
atmosphere of freedom. We re-
member with gratitude to thee the
godly teachers of our own youth
who won our hearts to higher pur-
poses by the sacred contagiOn OF
their life May the strength and
beauty of Christ-like service still be
plainly wrought in the lives of theil
successors that our children may
not want for strong models of de,
vout manhood on whom their char.
sacters can be moulded.
DO thou reward thy servants
with glad sense of their own eter
nal worth as teachers of the race
and in the heat of the day do thou
show them the spring by the way
side that flows from the eternal 81
lence of God and gives new light tc
the eyes of all who drink of it"

LARGE TRACT OF LAND

That must be sold. About 1900
acres in Drew County, Ark, two

is fine farming land. Nine sets of
buildings, comfortable frame houses,

best water, a number of fine springs
that furnish water for stock the
year around; pastures are all set in
Japan or wild clover. That is eX-
ceIlent for pasture and hay. Will
be sold in a body or in any style
tracts to suit buyers. All of this
fine land can be bought tor SIS per
acre, half cash, balance on long
time; might consider other good
property for half the balance. The
crops that can be seen growing on
this,land now shows the quality OF
soil. Write to j. j. Cook, Monticello,

The effort to secure a pardon for
banker Walsh brings out the fact
that big bankers do not so serious
ly condem him for acts but rather
regret his being caught and punish
ed. With them it appears as if his
illegal acts were monumental
enough to take him beyond the law
This is the serious trouble with the
big money men of this day. If big
enterprises can be carried to sue
cess these bankers conclude the end
justifes the means and illegal meth
DDS therefore are justifiable. In the
light of sentiment it is hard for a
man of Walsh's ability to have to
die in prison but if he gets no more
sympathy than he is willing to &C.
cord Bryan in his Chicago paper,
because they differed on monetary
matters and also on honest methods
Mr.. Walsh could stay in Jail long
time. Probably the only reasonable
excuse for releasing him is that the
other bankers of his class as
Murray Carleton said, are not ir
the same durance vile. On this
ground, and this alone, he ought tc
be released. Moberly Democrat
