DANORUFf AND ITCHING
SCALP YIELD TO
zfM0 TREATMENT

Why should you continue to exper-
iment with salves, greasy lotions and
fancy hair dressing trying to rid your
scalp of germ life. They can't do II
because they cannot penetrate to tlo
seat OF the trouble and draw the germ
life 10 the surface of the scalp and
destroy Il.
Why not try a PROVEN REMEDY? ?
One that will do this We have a rem
edy that will rid the scalp OF germ
life and i'm this way will cure DAN
DRUFF and ITCHING SCALP.
This remedy is ZEMO, n clean, re,
fined, penetrating scalp tonic that goes
right to the seat of the trouble and
drives the germ life TO the surface
and destroys Il.
A shampoo with ZEMO (ANTISEP-
T1C) SOAP and one application OF
ZEMO will entirely rid the scalp Of
dandrun and scurf. DO not hesitate,
but get bottle OF ZEMo today II
acts on a new principle and will do
exactly what we claim for IT,

A POLICY THAT WILL PAY.

Vice President and General Manager
w. W Walker Of the South Shore rail-
road announces that the South Shore
is about to enter upon an aggressive
policy fer the development of the agri-
cultural lands tributary to the road.
The new general manager believes that
this is the most feasible and about the
only way in which the business of the
railroad can be permanently built up,
and intends to do everything he can
10 induce settlers to take up farms
along the line of the South Shore. In
the furtherance Of this policy. Mr.
Walker hopes TO be able to cooperate
with the Upper Peninsula Develop
ment bureau and will be willing to
lend a helping hand in every way pos
sible toward the building up Of the up
per peninsula of Michigan by increas-
ing its population and its industries.
The South Shore runs through some
OF the finest farming country in the
world, and the opportunities for in
oreasing the business OF the railroad
by attracting farmers to the upper
peninsula are great. Mr.. Walker GER
tainly has the right idea In the car
rying out Of his policy it is probable
that he viii take lessons from what has
been accomplished along similar lines
by many Of the western roads. A large
part Of jim Hnrs success as a rail-
road man has been the result Of his
ability to transform an unsettled dis
trict through which some Of the Great
Northern lines passed into a well pop
ulated thriving business and farming
community. Because of the success he
has had in development work. Mr.. Hill
is often characterized as "the Empire
builder" The Canadian roads have
been in a large measure responsible
for the wonderful growth Of the west
ern Canada wheat district, and the St
Paul, Northern Pacific and Northwest
ern roads have also been successful in
attracting settlers TO the western
states.

WILL COMPETITION RETURN?

The Standard Oil trust is no more
in theory. at least. 1t has been re-
solved into it's constituent companies.
Instead Of the stock in the holding
company each stockholder has been
given his proportionate share of the
stock Of each OF the smaller compan-
les and these companies will hereafter
operate presumably independently OF
each other. The old days when the
prices and conduct of the business
were dictated by a single company,
when there was only one important
oil company anyway, have passed.
But has competition been restored? :?
Time alone can show. Certainly for
the present no cut throat competition
can be expected The very method of
distributing the stock assures this.
Each stockholder has been given a
share of the stock OF every one Of the
subsidiary companies i'm proportion TO
the stock controlled by him i'm the
parent company. The men who con-
trolled the trust still control every one
Of the companies into which that
body has been resolved. It is absurd
to suppose that they are going to take
any action through one company that
will be disastrous to themselves
through another company. Thus while
the old system OF n single company in
control Of the entire business. manag-
ing and directing every detail. has
passed. there still exists community
OF interests that will for the present
prevent any serious competition
But will this condition hold? Evil
IDENTIFY the hope Of the country is that
present conditions will change that
the control Of some OF the companies
will pass from the hands that now
hold IL. There viii be no real COM
petition between two companies or
thirty three companies all owned or
controlled by the same man or group
VI iAA'iis nut VI the advantages
Of owning a controlling interest I'm all
the oil companies have been elimlnat-
ed The single control has passed. The
economies of purchases for one big
company instead OF separate purchases
FOR separate companies. the economies
Of operation that can be effected
through a single company no longer
exist. while the control Of the policies
Of the various companies IS made
more difficult. Control Of thirty three
companies is much more unwieldly
than control OF a single one.
In view of these facts IL Is quite
possible, perhaps even likely, that the
present distribution OF the stock OF the
variousN oil companies will soon be
materially changed. II is quite possi-
BILE also that financial necessity or
business sense will dictate TO present
owners That they dispose OF their stock
In some OF the companies. And i'm this
event real competition may be restor-
ed But whether or not this result will
actually come no one can now predict
with any accuracy. All that can be
done is wait and watch.
