DANDRUFF AND ITCHING
SCALP YIELD TO
THIS TREATMENT

Why experiment trying to drive the
dandruf germ from underneath the
skin with greasy lotions or fancy hair
dressing when druggists everywhere
and in Topeka the Rosser Drug Co.,
523 Kansas avenue, will guarantee
ZEdO and ZEMO SOAP to entirely
rid the scalp of the germ that causes
the trouble.
ZEMO and zEMO SOAP can be OBJ
tanned in any city or town in America
and are recognized the best and most
economical treatment for all affections
of the skin or scalp whether on infant
or grown person. One shampoo with
ZEA1O SOAP and application of ZENO
will stop itching and cleanse the scalp
of dandruff and scurf. Application Of
ZEMO and use of ZEAO soap will cure
the most obstinate case of eczema or
skin disease.
We invite you to try ZEMO and
ZEMO. SOAP and if not entirely sat-
isfied we will refund your money.

Shawnee Farmers Read About Boy
Who Wanted Job on Farm.

home somewhere close to Topeka
, Samuel Alexander is the 14-year-old
Missouri boy who applied to the Provi-
dent association for a country home.
He wants to live out in the big coun-

today a score of homes were ready to
welcome Samuel and furnish him all
the buttermilk he could drink.
A second boy wanting a home is
Robert Martin, a 16year-o old Kansas
lad. Martin does not know where his
parents are. He wants a place in To-
peka where he can work during the
day and attend night school at the

FOR SATURDAY NIGHT
Hope to Destroy White Elephant by
That Time.

If a little more than $4,000 is raised
between now and Saturday night the
White Elephant campaign will be de-
clared off. A desperate effort will be
made on the part of the workers to
reach the coveted goal-$45, 900 by that
time.
Last Saturday that amount was rails
ed, and if a few of those who can well
afford to shell OUT generously can
be induced to do so, there should be
no difficulty repeating the record.
The amount reported at the noon hour
meeting was 81, 327 80, making a grand
total for the campaign of $34, 800. OF
the sum recorded today, $949, was
credited to the young mems section:
1925 to the business mems section, and
$152 so to the womens division.
E. w. Rankins team reported $3.50
which included a $500 pledge made, by
Crosby Brothers.
Below are the total amounts raised
by a few of the leading teams In the

II don't think there is any credit in
getting easy money said, Harold L.

'sbut the kind of work we are doing
now there is satisfaction in doing.
"a team this morning called on a
man who had been waited upon by six
other teams, with the result that this
man came through with SIS. 1t is no
fault of ours that the Campaign has
been continued, but the blame lies with
the people who have made it necessary
for the committees to call upon them
from seven to fourteen times.
Last Saturday we got $4,000 and if
we get that amount tomorrow we can
stop the campaign Saturday night

Son of a Manchester Copper
Manufacturer.
TOURED THE WORLD,
The Kansas Girl Was the Best
of Them All.
Are Now Located in Topeka But
Will Go to England.

After touring the world for two years,
Frank Ellis, 10 years old, said to be the
son of a wealthy copper smelter of
Manchester, England, selected Wich-
tia, Kan, girl Miss Lizzie Wright, as
his bride, and in a few weeks will pre-
sent her to his family and friends in
England He will carry with him two
certificates of marriage ceremonies in
which he and his bride were the prin-
cipals. Arriving in England, the youth
full bridegroom expects to go to tech
meal school and his wife will attend
Il conservatory.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ellis are stopping at
the Glenwood hotel in this city They
will leave soon for England.
The only son of John Ellis, a copper
smelter and manufacturer of Manches-
ter. England, Frank Ellis, was told two
years ago. after he had graduated from
Elton college in England. that he could
tour the world until he tired of travel
ing and was ready to settle down to
some business which he was to select.
Young Ellis visited the continent first
and from there went to Africa, then to
Asia, and thence home. A few weeks
there and he crossed to Nova Scotia
and with school boy friend, Archi-
bald Mitchell, whose father was the
captain of the tramp steamer, Rose, he
America Last spring he started from
England with his two sisters on a
Cooks tour of America, but left the
party in Buffalo and came west alone.
Meets Bride at Reception.
In Wichita he attended a receStion
at a girls college. It was not unlike
other receptions he had attended, ex-
cept that the face and form of one of
the young women attracted him. The
attraction was mutual.
They were introduced and became
fast friends. A few weeks later they
resolved to get married but when they
applied to the clerk at Wichita and
told their correct ages, they were re-
fused a license. A friend sent them
to Oswego. Kansas, where they gave
fictitious ages and procured the license.
Returning to Wichita they were mar
ried by a court officer July 6. The
marriage met with the violent oppo-
sition of the girls parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph Wright. The couple were
firm, however, and to avoid the posi-
bility of an annulment of their mar
riage they employed an attorney, OBJ
= tanned a second license, in which their
correct ages were given. and were
married the second time September II
A few days ago they came to
Topeka, where they arranged with

II know that my folks will be sur
prised when I present my BRIDE SAID
Mr.. Ellis. "They don't know a thing
about my marriage, and am not going
to let them know anything about 1t
until I get there. I have planned to 60
to the Sanbatch university, a technical
school, where I will take a course in
mining and metallurgy. I then will be
fitted to help my father, who spends a
good deal of time in this country buy
ing copper ore, which he smelts in his
plant in Manchester. We sell a great
deal of our finished copper in the
United States, and readily can under
sell the American smelters even though
we have to pay the cost of the trans
portation of the ore to England and
the finished product back here.
while I am attending the technical
school, my wife will attend a con-
servatory in Manchester where she
will c6nIEete her musical education,
living at the time with my parents.
After I complete my education,
expect to come back to the United

dear to me because it is the home of

Believed That Topeka Men Have
Raised Money.
Western League Franchise Then
Assured for This City.
COOLEY'S PRICE $4,000.
Ii. A. Auerbach and Chester
Woodward Interested in Deal.
Be Settled at Baseball Meeting
at Chicago This Week.

1t is reliably reported in Topeka to-
day that when the Association of
Professional Baseball clubs meet in
the great pow WOW in Chicago tomor-
buy the Western league franchise
from D. G. Cooley. The price is said
to be $4,000, $4,000 reduction by
Owner D. C. Cooley.
While the recent meetings of Tope-
ka enthusiasts have been clothed IN
secrecy, final meeting last night is
reported to have decided the matter.
The proposition is a stock company
with either H. A. Auerbach or Ches-
ter Woodward at the head. Both men
it is said have. pIanked down $1,000
for stock. The balance of the price
finally submitted by Cooley also has
been subscribed and immediate action
warranted. AS much stock in $1,000
blocks as possible will be sold to To-
peka business men. Other blocks at
$500 will be offered and even as low
as 500 shares may be sold Any sums
under 500 are to be regarded as con-
tributions.
The capital stock of the stock com
pany is to be $4,000, the surplus over
! the purchase price to be used in buy
ing players. With the franchise five
or six players are left. These include
pitcher; Riley, outfelder; Thomson,
Outfelder, and perhaps Beckley, first
baSeman.
There are three prospective man
ayers. Jake Beckley, who finished the
season with Cooley, is spoken Of
Walter BOles, sold to Holland of the

| is another, Moore played with the
| Fort Worth team in the Texas league
| last year in the capacity of second
i baseman and playing manager. He is
said to be anxious to secure some
shares in the Topeka proposition.
So far as can be learned the To
peka organization has not planned tC
send a representativ eto Chicago Sat
| urday. Dick Cooley is in Kansas City
but probably will be present at the big
! meeting.
| There is expected a great fight in

serious one to result from lowering

class A can be retained.

In State Politics
Lafourche's Son Want 70 Be
Lieutenant Governor.

June 2.-Representative Al
bert J. Trone Of Lafourche
today announced that he
would like to become lieute-
nant governor of Louisiana,
and said that he proposed to
get into the race. he is one
OF the the "self-made" mem
bers of the House. In 1906
he was a clerk, but to-day is
set down as one of the richest
members.
He is a director and officer
in several Colorado and other
Western mining corporations
which are very profitable.
Representative Trone de-
clared to me he is in dead ear
nest about his political aspira
tions. He is one Of the most
popular members Of the lower
branch of the General Assem-
bly,, and is a man Of strong
personality, makes friends
readily, and his financial sue
cess in the Western mining
fields has demonstrated, his
friends declare, what a "Loui
sfana boy" can do when he
makes up his mind to "cut
away from "home ties and
enter the ''field Of chance, :"
where fortunes are made and
lost readily.
Mr.. rrone has been fortu-
nate enough to hang on to
his good luck and when the

Banks newspaper in New
Orleans is completed, his min
ing companies will establish

Should School Boards Levy
School IaXes2

The natural answer to this
question would inevitably be
Yes" SO it has been answer
ed in all new communities
where no preconceptions or
prejudices had to be overcome
and the scoundness Of the an
swer is demonstrated by the
fact that, In localities where
school boards levy the taxes
they spend, are found the
best schools and greatest free
dom from political interfer-
ence of all sorts.
There is only one man
whose opposition Can be I'M
derstood. That is the man
who never wants to pay any
tax Of any kind for any pur-
pose. The pretended argu-
ment that the raising and
spending Of the school funds
would he taken further from
the people ois both childish
and absurd. In very truth
the situation is tho reverse.
The school board, elected for
no other purpose, would be
chosen with reference, as far
as possible, to school polity,
including finances, and when
elected would have a definite
mandate from the people on
that specific subject.
A police jury is selected on
entirely different issues and
more frequently Ethan not the
SC aool questions as we'll as
finances are utterly ignored
in the choice and hitherto in
too many instances are ignor-
ed afterward.
The governor congratulates
the community that our
schools are as good as those
Of any other southern state.
Why the limitation? Why
should our schools not be as
good as those Of any states
Why should southern schools
be inferior and the admission
that they are be forced from
US? There is no excuse for it.
1t is q cause for shame, and
the shame will not be remov-
ed until the autonomy Of the
school boards il established
by removing them from the
condition Of mentiicants de-
pendent on the will Of politi-
cal bodies for their incomes.
Then only will the people
have al opportunity to deter
i:'ine for themselves whether
thes will TEST under he stig,
