How Not to Comb Your Hair,

just as surely as hair is woman's
GROWING glory it is mans glorious
GROWING. Those whose heads
have pushed up through their hair
usually use huckaback towel for
the delicate process of parting the
hair, but unless one has the pecu-
liar requirements it is not worth
while to cultivate them.
Men with low, squatting fore
heads should not pull their hair
down over their brows. and men
whose foreheads are beginning to
work back should invite their
locks down. If your hair has
quietly slipped down toward your
ears on each side, leave it there.
If you bring it up in strings and
wisps it will merely look like
climbing vines, and will never
really have the free and easy,
homelike appearance that ought to
be the part of all natural hair.
Do not part your hair any earlier
than you can help. Hair is in
hurry these days, anyway. Usu-
ally it doesn't stay more than long
enough to make sure that the
baby is going to be a boy before
it hastens off. 1t will part of
itself soon enough, the best you
can do.
Before combing your hair you
should get acquainted with the ar
chltecture of your face. If your
face is of the haryest-moon va
riety, do not inlay your hair.
Pull 1t up as much as possible.
It's better TO look like feather
buster on a Monday morning than
scratched billiard ball on a Sat
urdav night.
But if your face is of long,
galloping ensemble, do not en-.
courage your hair to fluff. Instead
keep it down close to headquarters.
If your head inclines to run up to
a cone, do not spread your hair
around in imitation of a palm-tree
thatch; rather fluff it up and wind
row it for fear some INBRED per-
son will begin to talk about Spring
radish tops.

fair Weather.
BY L. j. Bigstaf.

While it may not be proper to
talk about the weather in polite
society, yet recently, she deserves
to be talked about for she has act
ed scandulously in Kentucky, hirt-
ing with the farmers who are try
ING to harvest. In the North and
West they have had nothing but
sunshine and drouth. while in Ken
lucky we have had rain and rain
and yet some more rain until it is
predicted that Kentucky will
never 90 dry"
A Kentuckian dreamed that he
went to heaven (may it not turn
out all dreamy and he went to a
group Of saints and angels and
told them how it rained in Ken
lucky in the year 1910. A little
old man walked off in disgust and
said:
When the people were complaining and
a knocking at the rain,
And predicting and wishing it would
soon refrain,
Noah knew that there was a coming
flood.
To drown all those who were not good.
So instead of going fishing or stopping
to dam her
He went straightway and got his old
hammer,
And went to knocking at the ark you see
For Noah knew what the weather would
be.
If we only knew in time what
the weather would be for a single
season the uncertainty of crops
and even life itself would be re-
duced to greater certainty and the
man who could get a corner on
the weather for year could get q
corner on crops and drive the
stock exchange of Chicago and the
Wall street gamblers out of bust.

The ignorance and superstition
of the ancients concerning the
weather has been slowly and com,
paratively recently changed to a
scientific basis. The story that
the weather was made and con-
trolled by the gods on Mount

thunderbolts on his helpless sub

PinkertOnS Engaged by Bedwell.

In an effort to secure evidence
which will result in his reinstate-
ment by the Kentucky State Rae
ing Commission, II. q. Bedwell,
the California turfman who was
ruled off the turf at a meeting of
that body held in Lexington, last
Saturday, has employed Pinkerton
detectives to work on the case
Bedwell claims that a negro stable
hand administered the stimu!ant
to the horse Nadzu on July 4.
The stable hand has since disap-
peared and it is with a view of
finding him that the Pinkerton
men were employed,
Bedwell cannot race any of his
extensive stable of thoroughbreds
until reinstated, and as this means
a dead loss Of about $4,000 to
nm he is at sea as to what course
to pursue. He hopes at least to
have his horses put in good stand

of air currents anC electricity which
are shown by delicate instruments
of measurements in high observat-
cries which show the high and low
pressure of the atmosphere which
see-saw across our country and
produces the variable weather.
In all this time progress has been
so slow that our weather bureaus
have been able to forecast the
weather only thirty-six hours a
head but that is great help and
sometimes a sufficient forewarning
and fOrearming against the weather
Slowly but surely man is under
standing and mastering the laws
of nature and no doubt in time
will lead them captive for the use,
and not as at present the abuse, of
humanity.
We may soon see the day when
weather will see the day when
weather will be made to order by
man.
Then will come the trouble of
having all or a majority at least in
a community agree upon what the
weather shall be for a given time.
Some who are about to harvest
their crops will want it all sun
shine while others who have har-
vested or have growing crops that
need rain, will want rain-so il
may be better as it is, to lay the
weather on the Lord, and give the
legal excuse that it is IAN act OF
God"

UNCLE JOE CANNON
The Biggest Gun The Democrats
Have Says William Jennings
Bryan.

When w. j. Bryan, looking
pink and hearty and expressing
himself as being in the best of
health, arrived in Louisville about
the first thing he looked for was a
barber shop.
The great commoner spent ar
hour in the BARRIERS chair getting
shaved and having his hair cut.
Mr.. Bryan chatted in his usual
entertaining way while he was
being worked upon by the tonsor-
ial artist. He does not like to
talk much politics while on his
Chautauqua lecture tours but ven
tureL little ways into his old fav-
orite subject.
81 am hoping" he said, that
we will have the next Congress
and pass a tariff bill that will be
satisfactory. The Senate would
probably reject it, but with the
new insurgents and the new Demo-
Gratis who will likely be elected
this fall, we may be able to pass a
satisfactory measure.
THAT will give the President a
chance to sign or veto it. If he
signs it it will remove the tariff
question from the next presidential
campaign. If he vetoes it it will
make the question the paramount
issue"
"UNKLE JOE" DISCUSSED.
Mr.. Bryan discussed "Unkle
Joe" Cannon and his troubles with
brevity. He had read the morn
ing papers which said the Speaker
would serve again as Speaker if
called by his party.
1T looks" said Mr.. Bryan, as
if Mr.. Cannon will not be pressed
into service. In fact Mr.. Cannon
is the biggest gun we have on our
side of the fight, although high
tariff prices are keeping up a sort
of musketry fire."
What about the liquor fight in
Nebraska?" Mr.. Bryan was asked.
The liquor interests" he re-
Piled, defeated the initiative and
referendum last year because they
were afraid it would be used to
submit the question of county
option, and they were planning to
get control of the Senate this year
in order to prevent the submission

also prevent the enactment of any
laws on the liquor question. The
other special interests had COM

DO You Gamble?

Some people do by spending their time and
labor and money by housing crop of hay, oats
and other farm produce, and keeping thousands
of dollars invested in live stock housed in barns,
and gamble with themselves that it will not
burn Do YOU?
Other people place their savings in home
and handsome furniture and then gamble on
their luck that it will not burn. DO YOU?
Still others invest thousands in factories,
mills warehouses and other things subject to
fire, and think they can, by careful watching,
prevent a fire. DO YOU?
To all persons gambling with themselves
against loss by fire, wind or tornado, we would
suggest you give the matter careful consdera-

by gambling on your luck? We think not See

MOSS HEIRS SUE TO
PARTITION PROPERTY
Death of Son Clears Title to
Farm Land
Especial Dispatch TO The Call

STOCKTON, Dec. 11.-Friendly suit
has been brought by Mary B. Percival
against Carrie b. McDougald and other
heirs of the late w. S. Moss Sr. for a
decree partitioning the property among
the heirs.
When w. S. Moss Jr. died a few
weeks ago it was thought that his es-
tate consisted of personal property val
ued at about $500, but the death cleared
the title to 592 acres of farming land
near Lathrop, the remaining unsold
portion of the estate of w. s. Moss Sr.,
worth 100000. There are six equal in
terests, three children of w s. Moss
Sr., living in California, and the heirs
of three children now deceased. The
three children in California will each
receive one-sixth and the remainder of
the property will be divided among the
children of the deceased heirs.
In 1884 w. S. Moss Sr. decided to the
son, who recently died. the tract of
land as a life estate. The latter was
declared incompetent about six years
ago and guardian appointed In 1904
his estate was appraised at $45,S123O.
The guardian fought considerable liti-
cation and in the second annual ac-
count filed the court allowed out of
the estate for attorneys fees the sum
of $4,000. Other costs cut down the
estate to it's present value of $500. The
life estate was not included and will go
to the heirs.
