FEAT STlRS AvIAToRS
Says He Could Have Mounted Still
Higher in His Aeroplane.

Paris, Jan. 9.-Hubert Lathams high
fight of Friday, when he attained an
altitude of approximately $500 feet or
nearly three quarters of mile. has
aroused the greatest enthusiasm among
aviators, who consider that it presages
great things for 1910.
Latham says that there was no rea-
son why he should not have mounted
still higher. Bleriot says that the aero
plane is destined to surpass the di-
rigible balloon as an engine of war
Artillery officers agree that an aero
plane having a speed of so miles an
hour. and flying at the height reached
by Latham. would be invulnerable in
time of war, as no gun could be train
ed upon it.
The machine used by Latham was an
Antoinette monoplane. owned by III. S
Hardness of New York. Baron d'Es-
tournelles de Constant has issued a
public appeal for funds with which to
erect monument to the martyrs of
aviation.

SENATOR PERCY ON THE COTTON
PROBE

Senator Leroy Percy's maiden speech was
bulls eye IN its shot at the Federal government
for what is nothing less than attack to depress
the price of cotton. under the excuse OF probing
the alleged manipulations of bull clique. AS the
senator points out, when cotton low and the
farmer almost starving. no one heard of the gov
eminent starting an investigation into th mhods
of the bear clique. But of course. the case was
different. As long as cotton was at beggar prices
the Eastern spinner was content. His was the
profit, and what mattered it if the farmer, a
Southerner had to grub hard for bread and meat.
Wheat too has been put to noste xhorbtant prices,
and it was amply foretold by the leaders of the
bull campaign that it would be put there. The
government was blind and deaf and did not inter
fere. But when cotton, exclusively Southern
product the evident result of natural conditions
reaches level barely in line with the dearness of
other commodities, the government. by an act alb
solutely without precedent, rushes heroically to
the rescue of the yelling bears; New England spec
ulators who have sold what they cannot deliver.
1t is disheartening exhibition of class favoritsm.
1t is the work, of course, of pampered manufact-
urers, who have so long been under the protection
of the tariff at the cost of the rest of the country,
that they look upon the government as mere
clerical force to do their bidding and cannot under
stand why Southern farmer should be considered
in the matter.

BEAUTIFUL HAIR
1T is EASY TO GET AND KEEP

When a fifty cent bottle of Pa
risian Sage will put life, lustre and
brilliancy into any woman's hair,
why should any woman have re-
puIsive or characterless hair, un-
less she wants TO.
Partisan Sage is the ideal hair
dressing of the fines. Not only
does it make woman's hair beauti-
full, but it is guaranteed by Mayo
Drug Co. to cure dandruff, stop
falling hair and itching scalp in
two weeks, or money back.
If you are troubled with disgust
ing dandruff, get rid of it as soon
as you can. Dandruff is caused
by dandruff germ, and sooner
or later will cause badness.
Partisan Sage kills the germs
that cause dandruff, and kills them
promptly. 1t is a daintily perfumed
tonic, free from grease or sticki-
ness. The girl with the Auburn
hair is on every bottle. Price 80
cents at druggists everywhere and
