Des Moines, June 16.-A very pretty
scrap is on for the presidency of the
State Bankers Association between S.
NJ. Leach, Of Adel and John McHugh.
of Sioux City. The bankers OF Group
Six, which is the group including Des
Moines and the counties surrounding
Polk. gave Endorsement TO Mr.. eLach
and made him. in sense, the candt-
date OF the group. Mr.. McHugh has
been q candidate and IN getting out
of TIE way each time has probably Sc
cured some pledges that can now be
casf1ed; also the advantage that there
is some disposition for the bankers of
the cities TO stick together. There has
been Just suggestion OF politics in the
contest because of the fact that Mr.
Leach is known to be a very close and
confidential friend Of Gov. Carroll and
the bankers Of Des Nroines and of the
state generally supported Carroll. Mr.
Leach has been g. banker at Abel for
Twenty-Five years, prior to which time
he was just an ordinary newspaper
man and ran q newspaper in Osceola,
the same paper that is now edited by
Joe Long. Mr.. Leach was a member
of the commission for Iowa at the
ST Louis FAIR.
Wants SaIaried Secretary.
he convention will be asked TO au-
thortze employment OF a secretary to
devote his entire time to the work. At
present and for many years the secre-
tary has been Mr.. Dinwiddle of Cedar
Rapids. who has devoted his time to
building up the association but would
be unwilling TO give up his business
and become a paid secretary. The
Iowa association has become. go the
members say, one OF the very strong
est in the country. 1t has a larger pro-
portion of the bankers In membership
than IN any other state And they
are very influential in state and local
affairs.
One Of the material benefits Of the
members is In regard to examination of
the time Noc1Es. The association employs
a man Regularly who makes the ex-
afninations at small cost compared with
former charges. Members get some
advantage in burglary and security in
surance. They keep IN touch in regard
TO frauds thru detective bureau
which they say has done a great deal
of good for them. Now 1t Is proposed
to still further enlarge their activi-
ties
Opposed to Postal Savings.
The Iowa association is opposed as
a whole to postal savings banks or
the postal savings system. and es-
pecially to that feature OF it which
looks to having the postal deposits
taken to Wall street on call 1t is
not probable, so some Of the leaders
say that the association will take ac-
ton on this subject again.
Secretary Leslie NJ. Shaw IS expected
to give the central bank idea a hard
rap and the Iowa bankers will be slow
to fall in with that scheme.

ORANGE PRODUCTS
ALL TO BE SAVED
Chemist Purposes to Start
Factory to Utilize Blem-
ished Golden Fruit

PORTERVILLE, Oct. 23.-J. s., Sc
ralian, Berkeley chemist, has made a
proposal to local orange growers and
capita lists to establish factory here
for the production of essential oils and
preserved oranges. The chemist claims
TO have discovered a method Of press
ing orange juice which Will remain
sweet for an indefinite period without
developing the bitter taste which for
merly appeared, as well a short cut
in the process OF manufacturing orange
oil, marmalade and other food products.
II Is proposed to use for this purpose
oranges which have blemishes serious
enough to spoil their marketing value,
but do not injure the flavor of the pulp
or the amount of oil in the rind. These
culls have been thrown away, tons of
them going to waste every year.
For the machinery of a special type.
the building, patents, etc, it has been
estimated that the enterprise will cost
100000. The Porterville chamber of
commerce has sent to the California
fruit growers exchange a detailed
statement of the proposal It is pro-
posed to the exchange that two facto-
ries be established, one In Porterville
for the northern district and one in the
southern orange center.

FOR YOUR HAIR
Here Are Facts We Want 7 You
to Prove at Our Risk

Marvellous as it may seem, Rexall
"9S" Hair Tonic has grown hair on
heads that were once bald. OF course
it is understood that in none of these
cases were the hair roots dead nor had
the scalp taken on glazed, shiny ap-
pearance.
When the roots of the hair are en-
tirely dead and the pores of the scalp
are glazed over. we do not believe that
anything can restore hair growth.
When Rexall "93" Hair Tonic will do
as above stated, it is not strange that
we have such great faith in it and that
we claim it Will prevent badness when
used in time. 1t acts scientifically, de-
stroying the germs which are usually
responsible for badness. 1t penetrates
to the roots of the hair, stimulating
and nourishing them. 1t is a most
pleasant toilet necessity, is delicately
perfumed and will not gum nor per-
manently stain the hair.
We want you to get bottle of Rex
all "93" Hair Tonic and use 1T as di-
rected. If it does not relieve scalp ir-
ritation, remove dandruff, prevent the
hair from falling out and promote an
increased growth of hair and in every
way give entire satisfaction, simply
come back and tell us and without
question or formality we will hahd
back to you every penny you paid us
for it.
We lend our Endorsement to Rexan
"93" Hair Tonic and sell it on this
guarantee, because we believe 1t is the
best hair tonic ever discovered. 1t
comes in two sizes, prices so cents and
S1.0O. Remember you can obtain it
only at The Owl Drug Co., Inc, 10
Market street. IT'S Market street, Post
and Grant avenue, Fillmore and Geary
