6ALDHEAD CLUB

One is Being Organized in a West
ern City.
Perhaps the report is q joke, but
one thing is certain baldhead is no
joke to the man who wears 1t.
A club of baldheads formed in ev.
cry city in America would be a good
thing if its members could be In
duced to parade hatless, through the
main streets of the city.
The writer would suggest that
some Of the members carry banners
with inscriptions of such a charact-
ter as to warn those whors still have
hair, that badness is unnecessary;
that IN nearly every case it is the
result of carelessnss.
Banners inscribed as follows would
be appropriate:
eve let the dandruff germ do it."
THE time to save the hair is when
you have hair to save"
When We were young, the dan
drufs germs worked every blessed
minute. They dug our hair out by
the roots, and now we aren't IN it"
The best banner of all would be
this, 1--WE didn't use Parisian Sage"

to stop falling hair, itching scalp and

THE Missouri Legislature and

THERE seem to be various re.
ports about what the Postoffice De-
partment in Washington City has de-
cided regarding the Sunday hours Of
the Mexico postoffice. No petition
has yet been filed and the matter
has not been taken up by the prop
en- officials. As we understand the
matter, the Government at Washing
Ton City still exists, and has delegat.
ed no power regarding this matter
to any one that may live in Mexico.
This question is not a local one and
does not call for any personalities
or excitement OF any kind. As far as
the Ledger is concerned, it is
only an incident, as wet stand for
every movement that tends toward
giving the people Of all classes, es-
peciaIly the wage earnsrs, at least

possible of giving everybody an op-

or worship, il they so desire. AS a
matter of tact, the writer would muc
rather pay the nominal box rent so
that he might secure his mail, ii he
wants 1t any time during Sunday,
than to ask all the employees of the
Postoffice to labor ON that day i'm or.
der that he might be accommodated.
We think that this spirit prevails
largely throughout the nation. This
