no MORE DANDRuFF
Henry Evans and James
O'DonneII Sell the Remedy
That Is Guaranteed to Kill
All Dandruff Germs.

OF course you and every intelligent reader Of
The Star knows that dandruf Is caused by a
germ.
Dr. Sagerbund. the great French physician
proved this beyond doubt.
In order to rid your scalp OF filthy dandru6
you must kill the germ. There Is a hair dress
ing called Partisan Sage which is now sold in
every town in America, that Is guaranteed to
eradicate dandruff, stop falling hair, splitting
hair and scalp itch in two weeks, or money
back.
II you have dandruf get large JO-cent bot
tie today and rid yourself OF 1t. Remember
that II dandrur germs are not destroyed In
time the hair will surely fall out and bald
ness will follow.
Here's proof Of what Partisan Sage has done:
1t will do more. 1t is the finest hair grower
and hair dressing i'm the world and people who
use It regularly will never grow bald. Mrs:
John Stoner, Evansville, Ind writes on June
2, 1910:
II used Partisan Sage and found it very sue
cessful; it removes dandrun and gives the hair
life. / only used two bottles. l know 1t is Il
cure for dandruG.
Large bottles 80 cents at Henry Evans and
James O'Dpnnelrs and druggists everywhere.

Gus VALLEY TOWNS OUTLINED
Superintendent Of Schools Cooley Will
Proceed Under Provisions Of New
Law and Believes it Great
Advantage.

County Superintendent of Schools
l.. K. Cooley is planning to proceed
under the provisions of the new state
law in holding series of teachers
institutes this winter instead of hav-
ing a weeks session at one point He
proposes to hold Institutes of two
days duration in several of the valley
towns.
1t is probable that the first of these
institutes will be held in the high
school building at Imperial the second
week in December. Mr. Cooley is
hoping to secure the attendance of
State Superintendent Edward Hyatt
at this institute and also to have pres
ent Prof. Riley o. Johnson of the
Chico State Normal school.
Prof Johnson has been making a
speciality of interesting teachers and
pupils in the practical study of agri-
culture, and his lectures have been
highly commended by educators.

Gentlemen.-I congratulate you on
your good fortune in winning the
handsome $1,000 silver cup donated
by Col. Robert M. Thompson of this
city for the best short staple cotton
raised in the United States, and con-
tested for at the American Land and
Irrigation Exposition now being held
in this city.
Upon the recommendation of Sec

to yuor state and Imperial Valley l
do hope that you and the farmers in
the valley will plant large acre

it would pay from SIS to $40 a bale

FIVE ARE SECURED''FOR
THE M'NAMARA JURY

lBY UNITED PRESS AssOCIATIONsl
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 17.-Perma-
nent jurors in the Mcnamara case are
Robert F. Balm, a corpenter of Los
Angeles; F. D. Green, a rancher of
Pomona; Byron Lisk, president of the
Milling Company, Pasadena; J. B.
Sexton, an orange grower of Alham-
bra; William ]. Andre, carpenter of
Los Angeles.
A decided sensation marked the
challenges in the Mcnamara case this
morning when, in exercising peremp-
tories, the prosecution eliminated from
the jury box Clark McLain, cashier
of Pasadena bank, one of the men
expected to remain as a permanent
juror When the shower of peremp-
tories was over only two men sur
vived. They We're added to the three
already in the box.
The two new jurors are j. B. Sexton,
owner of big orange grove at AL
hambra, and William ]. Andre, a Los
Angeles carpenter.

longs this great honor, and such vic
tory means much not only to the re-
cipient but to the entire Imperial Val
ley, as it brings prominently before
the cotton growing world this new
factor in the cotton industry.
1t is probable that arrangements
will be made soon for the exhibition
of the trophy cup in Ell Centro
The exhibit was made through the
activities of Howard S. Reed of the
American Nile Company. Mr.. Reed
has had wide experience in exposition
matters. He represented the govern
ment of Honduras at both the Buffalo
and st. Louis expositions and he has
had much other experience in exposi-
ton work.
At present Mr. Reed is far from
where mail can reach him and he
as yet knows nothing of the winning
of this notable prize
The following letter to the Ameri-
can Nile Company from R. G. Mus
grove, who awarded the price, will be

IMPERIAL SOU1HS|OE WATER
COMPANY IS INCORPORATED
ARTICLES FILED WITH CLERK OF
IMPERIAL COUNTY YESTERDAY
New Company Will Cover Territory
Along Ash and Alamitos Canals
and HoItville Will be Principal
Place of Business.

The Imperial Southside Water
Company is the very latest adjunct
to the water companies of the I'm
perial Valley. The articles of incor-
poration were filed with the county
clerk yesterday.
The purpose of the corporation is
set forth as ito buy, lease, mortgage
and hypothecate real, and personal
property, including its own stock and
stock in other corporations, and also
to acquire by purchase or otherwise
water and water rights, etc"
The principal place of business is
Holtville and the company is incOr-
porated for term of fifty years. The
capital stock is placed at 100000, di-
vided into 10000 shares of the par
value of SO each
The incorporators are c. d. Harris
horn, George l.. Melton, F. 8. Best,
Clark Rooher and S. B. Otter.
This is the movement that has been
under formulation for some time past
and which was brought to head at
recent meeting held in Holtville,
for the purpose of covering the land
in the southeasterly portion OF I'M
perial Valley supplied from the Ash
and Alamitos canals
The general proposition is to with
draw this territory from Water Dis
trict No. 1 and to handle it under the
management of the new company.
This would entail the placing of the
No. water stock now applied to lands
in this district in the hands of Water

bales of Egyptian cotton, eight were
raised near Yuma, Ariz, and five in
Imperial Valley.
With best wishes for your future
success in cotton raising, l am,
