RIO GRANDE STREET
WILL HAVE TO RUSH
The Parking and Paving
VIII Be Lost If They Do
Not Act Soon.

Spring is coming and if Rio Grande
street is to have an Easter bonnet of
bright flowers. green trees and a nifty
parking. the residents OF this st eel
had better get busy now.
James G. McNary. treasurer of the
Rio Grande street parking committee,
says so and. as he is handling the
wherewith for installing the parking,
flowers and trees, he is in position to
know. February first was the date set
by the mayor for all of the property
owners on this street to have their
checks IN the hands of the treasurer.
He has said that unless all of the
checks were in the hands OF the treas
ureH by this date he would call off the
paving of this street and divert the
revolving fund from Rio Grande 10
some other street.
The situation is just this" Mr.. Nc
Nary said. There are 1000 front feet
facing On Rio Grande. To date, checks
covering the parking assessment in a
little over $500 front feet have been
handed me. l have been in hopes that
we would have enough Rio Grande resi-
Tents come through TO report three
fourths of the frontage as being sub
scribed by February first We could
then go 10 the mayor and ask for an
extension of time TO get the remaining
fourth lined up. We expect to print an
honor roll of the subscribers to the
parking fund on this street and those
who wish to get on the band wagon
should send in their checks at once"

The Beautiful Hair
of English Women
CAnnie BLY, in n. Y. GraphicD

The long, abundant and glossy tresses
of English women are not due to hair
tonics and heroic shampooing. There is
a general belief over there that the less
water put on the hair, the better it is;
they say wetting takes the life OUT
and leaves the hair dull, brittle and
colorless.
English women with hair rich in
color, clean and Understandable plenty
Of it-have told me they attribute it to
dry shampooing two or three times
week. They mix four ounces of therox
with four ounces of orris root and
sprinkle tablespoonful of this mixture
on the head; then brush the powder
thoroughly through the hair. They thus
also avoid the danger of catching sold
and the discomfort that accompanies
washing, rinSing and drying the hair
This treatment keeps the hair light,
fluffy and lustrous, and is the only
thing 1 know that will actually produce
the growth of hair.

HOG PRICES TAKE AN UPWARD
TURN
Opening Saturday Morning at Thirty
Cents per Hundred Above the
Friday Close

Chicago, Dec. 10-The hog market
at the Union Stock yards jumped al
most out of sight today and it is de-
clared that pork will go to a higher
figure. The market opened up 80
cents higher than it closed Friday,
and the big packers were buying
frantically.
The jump today means that hogs
now 81 hundred higher than they
were two weeks ago and that unless
mere hogs begin coming into the big
packing centers of the country In a
short time the market will go much
higher. Wise buyers at the yards de-
clared today that hogs might go to
50.
It is said that the packers and buy
ers have just awakened to- the fact
that the country is not full of hogs,
as has been confidently supposed,
and that there is nowhere near the
supply that there should be.
Armour and Swift were the heavy
buyers today and they did not seem

for hogs just so they got hold OF
