THE SILK STOCKING CRAZE
One of the Many Signs of This Age
of Bluff and Pretense That Peo-
pie Are Living Under.

Once the lucky lass who received
a pair of silk stockings considered
her aesthetic lodgings fully satisfied
and festive indeed was the occasion
which warranted their wearing. To
Hday everybody wears 'em and all the
TING. Business girls on salary OF
M a week go without lunches and
Walk to work in order to save enough
money for silk stockings, which show
so pretttly at the top of their low
cut pumps. Young men who a few
years ago were satisfied with the
cotton or garden variety of socks
now save their spending money and
buy many hued silk ones in order to
please their feminine friends.
One of the heads of the stocking
department in large retail store in
Chicago regards the increased sale
of silk stockings not so much mark
of prosperity as the sign of the
bluff that so many people of today
are living under. Folks pretend
that they have always worn silk
stockings. They pretend that they
can afford them, just as they pretend
that they can afford silks and feath-
ers and theatres. It's all bluff.
Girls spend their noon hour purehas-
ing silk stockings, and I can tell by
their appearance that their salary is
small and that they haven't had any
lunch. The increased sale of silk
stockings is just one sign of the
times. Of course they are bound to
cause unhappiness."
Another head of a stocking de-
partment said when questioned about
the sale of silk stockings: ct can t
tell how much unhappiness they
cause l can't even tell whether
folks can afford them, for appear
ances are often deceitful when it
comes to deciding how rich person
is by the clothes he wears. But I do
know that more people are buying
silk stockings every day. Men who
years ago purchased an occasional
pair now buy them by the box. MANY
men who until this year wore only
cotton now insist that they have
worn silk stockings all of their
lives"

ARE MICROBES IN YOUR SCALP?
1t Has Been Proved That Microbes
Cause Badness.


Prof. Unna of Hamburg, Germany
and DR.. Sabourand, the leading
French dermatologist, discovered
that a microbe causes badness. Their
theory has time and again been thor
oroughly verified through research
experiments carried on under the
observation of eminent scientists.
This microbe lodges in the Sebum,
which is the natural hair oil, and
when permitted to flourish it de-
stroys the hair follicles and in time
the pores entirely close and the scalp
gradually takes on a shiny appear
ance. When this happens there is
no hope of the growth of the hair
being revived.
We have a remedy which will, we
honestly believe, remove dandruff,
eXterminate the microbe, promote
good circulation in the scalp and
around the hair roots, tighten and
revitalize the hair roots and over
come badness so long as there is
any life left in the hair roots.
We back up this statement with
our own personal guarantee that
this remedy, called Rexall 1913" Hair
Tonic, will be supplied free of all
cost to the user if it fails to do as
we state.
1t will frequently help to restore
gray and faded hair to it's original
color, provided loss of color has been
caused by disease; yet it is in no
sense a dye. RexalI '93" Hair Tonic
accomplishes these results by aiding
in making every hair root, follicle
and pigment gland strong and act
i've, and by stimulating a natural
flow of coloring pigment throughout
the hair cells.
We expect no obligations or prom
ises-we simply ask you to give
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic a thorough
trial and if not satisfied tell us and
we will refund the money you paid
US for it. Two sizes, price so cents
and $1OO. Remember you can OBJ
tain it in Dawson only at our store

DIR. WILEY'S IDEAL DINNER.
Menu For Christmas Feast at Cost
of 20 Cents Per Person.


DR.. Wiley, the pure food man,
made up an ideal menu for the
Christmas dinner. There wasn't tur-
key anywhere in sight on the card,
but in the turkeys place was a nice
little roast pig, with an apple in its
mouth; half pound for each person;
cost per person, 10 cents. Then fol-
lowed these articles: apple sauce,
seasoned, per person, three cents 4;
turnips, per person, two cents; other
vegetables, per person, three cents;
mince pie, per person, three cents;
bread and butter, per person, four
CENTS. " The sum total of this ideal
dinner, arranged by an expert, is rs
cents per person. How many people
got so good a dinner Christmas for
so moderate cost? And did DR.. Wiley
eat his ideal dinner himself?

UNCLE SAM is GOING TO TEACH
YOUNG FARMERS HOW TO
SWAT MIR. BOIL WEEVIL.


Members Will Be Taught Advanced
Methods of Conserving the Soil
and How to Grow, Grade and Sell
Cotton. What Some Clubs Did
the Past Year.
Your Uncle Sam-big, progressive
fellow that he isis going to try to
teach the bright farmers boys of the
South how to swat the boil weevil.
And at the same time he will en-
deavor to teach them to makk two
bales of cotton grow where only one
or a portion of one grew before.
And he will do this through the
medium of the Boys Cotton Clubs
just as he has been taking the boys
and learning them how to put their
daddies to shame by growing more
corn than the older men have been
raising by educating the boys to bet
ter cultural methods through the
medium of the Boys Corn Clubs.
The clubs will be open to the boys
throughout the South where there is
a government agent to do the work
of organizing and supervising the
clubs, the age limit being between
II and 20 years of age on the first
OF January Of the year in which the
boys engage in the work.
This work is no experiment. 1t
has been tried with success by some
Of the demonstration agents in Okla
hOma, and some Texas boys have
been doing some experimenting on
their own account that has opened
Uncle Sans eyes to the possibility
of what the southern boys can &C
cOmpIish in that direction if they on
ly had some one to wake them UP
and inject little ginger into them.
He proposes to do both for them.
Scope of Work Outlined.
Concerning the general work that
will be undertaken the following
statement has been issued by Brad
ford Knapp, son of the late DR..
Knapp, who promoted the Boys Corn
Club movement, and who has sue
ceeded his father in charge of the
cooperative demonstration work in
the South:
In most Of the territory now COW
cred by the farmers cooperative
demonstration work cotton is the
principal crop grown by the farmers.
The education of a southern boy will
be far from complete unless he has
made study of this wonderful plant
which does so much to clothe the
world, and which is rapidly becom-
ing important as source of oil
and food. Sufficient Investigations
have been made and trials had to
convince us that there is a need and
demand for cotton clubs.
The objects of the boys demonstra-
ton work are: First, to afford the
rural teacher a simple and easy
method of teaching practical agri-

must be acquired to be of any real
service, namely, by actual work upon
the farm. Second, to prove that there
is more in the soil than the farmer
has ever gotten out of it; to inspire
boys with love of the land by show
ing how they can get wealth out of
it by tilling it in a better way and
thus be helpful to the family and the
neighborhood. Third, to give the
boys definite, worthy purpose and
to stimulate a friendly rivalry
among them
These objects were stated in the
beginning, and the boys corn clubs
organized in pursuance thereof open
ed the eyes of the South to it's pos
sibilities in the production of corn
and have stimulated an interest in
agriculture and especially in the
production of home supplies. Prac-

Gordon White, the railroad section
foreman, and the father of the girl
over whom the Negro was lynched,
was brought back here Monday on
the order Of Judge Frank MAYNARD.
Many citizens protested against the
manner. in which White was spirited
out Of the county Saturday night af-
ter being arrested ON a charge Of first
degree murder. It is said that White
was not arraigned before any Justice
before being taken out of the city ann
his arrest for this reason was illegal.
A crowd Of several hundred people
followed White through the streets
to the Office of Justice Dillars and
when The was released on ten thou
sand dollars bond, he was given an
ovation by his ympathizers.
The angry crowd then menaced Po-

close the saloons.
