To Make Hair Curl.

A woman whose hair is slightly wavy
has discovered a simple method for in
creasing it's curl without using any arti-
fetal curriers'.
When taking it down she gives thor
ough brushing In this way all the tan
giles are removed. and a stroking which
will give polish and bring out the natu-
raj oils she continues for couple Of
minutes. In order that the brushing shall
help i'm the waving the strokes are not
laid fiat on the head each time, but are
drawn away from the scalp. That is.
the head is held at an angle and the
brush bristles are laid against the tenn
pies, or just below. and pressed along
the scalp for couple of inches; after
that the hair is drawn out into space.
This procedure makes for lightness and
fiuff1ness.
AS her hair is dry naturally she uses
a tonic containing oil made from four
gils of sweet almond oil, one and one
eighth ounces of alkanet root. nine and
one-half grains each Of oils of rose, mace
and cloves. half dram of oil cinnamon,
and nine and ope-haIf grains Of tincture
of musk. The almond oil is poured over
the coarsey broken alkanet root and is
placed in a warm spot until tho oil is a
deep red. This will take many hours.
The Oil Is then strained off and the i'll
gradients added to it.
To use, a few drops are poured into the
palm of one hand, and the other palm is
then rubbed into 1t. both being lightly
patted over the hair to make an even
and slight application. Were the hair
too oily naturally water may he substi-
tuted for the moistening agent: but, be
1t said, dryness more often than stlcki-
ness is the cause of hair refusing to
wave.
After the tonic application, which, in
this instance, Is not meant to reach the
scalp, the woman draws her hair for
ward with the fingers Of one hand to
make the natural line for waving
Straight through this wave, or the sec
ton where the wave should be. she
thrusts a line of wire hairpins in such
fashion that the hair is held down firmly
to the scalp. This. when properly done
leaves the hair in front soft and loose
1t is well if another line can be pinned
back of the first. after pushing forward
more length to give fullness or softness
The pinning is in no way disfiguring. and
il the wires are wrinked the pins will
remain In through the night.
In the morning, when they are removed
the hair will be wavy, II 1t has the slight
est natural curl Even when straight it
can sometimes be trained by this method

Annapolis to Ask for Bond Issue.

ANNAPOLIS. Md. January THE An
napolis city council will probably ask tie
legislature to pass an act providing for
an additional issue of bonds for Annap-
oils. The amount of bonds will probably
be about $4,000 and will certainly not be
over $4,000. 1t is proposed to eNpend
the proceeds In paying a debt of about
5000 contracted in the construction OF
the building OF the Rescue Hose Com
pany, a volunteer organization. and in
completing the paving of West street. the
principal thoroughfare from the countr,
There is also possibility that provision
will be made for the erection of building

Company. another volunteer fire company.
The proposition for the issuance Of bonds
will probably be submitted to the tax
payers of the city.

BILLIONS IN EXPORTS
VAST AMOUNT SHOWN BY BU-
REAU OF STATISTICS.
Gain of $1,000 900 in Agricultural
Products Cotton the Largest
Item in List.

Nine billion dollars worth of aEri-
cultural products were exported from
the United States during the last ten
years, according to the bureau of sta
tistic compilations. Agricultural prod
ucts exported during the fiscal year
1909 amounted to 100000 900.
While the agricultural group shows a
gain OF over $1OO,OOO.OOO during the
past decade. decreased expectation is
shown in staple farm products used
for food. such as breadstuffs, meats,
live cattle, etc.
This loss is more than Offset by the
great increase I'm expectation of cotton
and certain comparatively new indus
tries whose chief development has Oc-
Cured in the last few years.
Cotton Exports in Decade.
Cotton, the largest item in the agri-
cultural group. shows a total exporta-
ton during the decade of $1,000 600.
Breadstuffs, second on the list. showed
a marked decline. Meat and dairy
products constitute the third largest
class in the group of farm products ex-
ported. Exports In this class have on
the whole been better maintained dur
ing the decade than has been the case
of cotton or breadstuffs. The general
group animals shows a decrease from
$3S, 600, 900 in 1899 to $4,000 900 In 1909.
Cattle were the chief factor In this de-
cline. During the past fiscal year Eu-
rope took twenty-five million dollars
worth of American tobacco out of a
total export Of thirty-one million. For
American cotton Europe is also the
largest foreign market. taking nine
tenths OF the cotton exports.

In certain sections of California
fireworks are found more effective
than scare crows in protecting the
great grain fields of the Sandborn and
other ranches from the vast flocks of
wild geese and other aquatic fowl that
settle on the grain at night and do i'm
mense damage. By frequently firing
sky rockets and roman candles at va
rious points around the ranch when
ever flock is heard "honking" in the
sky the wild fowls are induced to give
these places a wide berth.

THE COLONEL TO REPORTERS.

Now that Colonel Roosevelt is work
ing on a newspaper, he seems to have
a very kindly feeling toward the pro-
fession, and he handed out some very
friendly advice at a dinner given by
the Milwaukee Press club. Colonel
Roosevelt is spoken of as an editor"
but actually he will not be ashamed
to take his seat on the reporters
bench.
After all, the reporters work is of
the more permanent value, and the
men who perform that function de-
serve to receive respectful treatment
accordingly from the public.
An editorial is merely one mans
opinion, and all opinions pass and
fade away. A reporter is a historian
of the worlds acts, and history if
written in the true, judicial spirit,
never passes away.
The most satisfactory newspapers
are those in which, however strongly
pronounced editorial opinions may be
expressed, the news columns treat
political developments as matter of
news, in which all sides are entitled
to fair treatment as matter of his
torical justice. That, it is needless to
say, is the policy of this newspaper.
