New Goods!
Low Prices!

Having cut out the long credit
system, we are prepared to give
prices which will pay you to buy at
home. Remember, when you buy
at home you create a market for
what you have to sell, no matter
what it consists of, whether it be
farm products, labor or legal ad-
wise, you don't help your own COM
munity, when you go outside to
trade; you don't help the farmers
when you buy outside flour. Last
year many people sent away and
went outside to trade. What is the
result? The wheels of industry
have been idle, no building, no bus
mess, no work, no market. Heavy
crops are being harvested and still
large portion of the old crop is
on hand. 1t is now time for the
people to get together if they want
prosperity at home. Trade at our
place if you can; if not trade with
our competitor; but Trade at Home

TO GROW HAIR ON
A BALD HEAD
BY A SPECIALIST.

Thousands of people suffer from bald
ness and falling hair who, having tried
nearly every advertised hair tonic and
hair-grower without results, have re-
signed themselves to badness and its
attendant discomfort. Yet their case is
rot hopeless; the following simple home
prescription has made hair grow after
years of badness, and is also un-
equalled for restoring gray hair to its
original color. stopping hair from fall
ing out, and destroying the dandruff
germ. 1t will not make the hair greasy,
and can be put up by any druggist: /:
Bay Rum, ounces; Lavona de Com
posee, 2 ounces; Menthol Crystals, one
half drachm. If you wish II perfumed
add half to one teaspOonful of To- -Kalon
Perfume, which unites perfectly with
the other ingredients. This pTepa ra ton
is highly recommended by physicians
and specialists. and is absolutely harm
less, as II contains none of the poison
Gus wood alcohol so frequently found
in hair tonics. Do not apply to the
face or where hair Is not desired.
Before publication we presented this
prescription to O'Donnelrs Pharmacy,
this city, and they state that they have
filled It many times for their %ltrons
who report most astonishing results
from it's use.

uated fine systems went into effect.

are members of the Industrial Work.
ers' of the World, were particularly
aroused today over what they claim
to be a virtual embargo put ON pub
lie speaking by Police Chief Henry

representatives would attend every
public gathering of strikers and that
at the first hint OF melting to riot or
condemnation of the Government the

ploy no operative who is a member

their character and manhood"
Mr.. Murray, in spite of the statement
OF Mr.. Andrew, Is among those VINO
have publicly declared that they have
had no differences with Secretary Mac
Veagh, Mr.. McClung being the only one
who has refused to make any statement
whatsoever.
Mr.. Andrew raises q sharp question OF
veracity again with Director Ralph, OF
the Bureau of Engraving and Printing,

Department. Mr.. Andrew again saws

j. S. PATROL SOON
TO Be WITHDRAWN
FROM RIO .GRANDE
Col. Steever Notifies Wood
That Rebellion Is
Near End.

Col. e. H. Steever commanding the
American forces along the Mexican
border, today notified Gen. Leonard
Wood, chief of staff OF the army, that
conditions across the Rio Grande indI-
cate that the United States may with
in few days begin withdrawing its
patrol guard.
There Is at present encamped along
the Rio Grande one regiment of cavalry,
one regiment of infantry one battalion
Of infantry. and one battalion of field
artillery.
The infantry regiment will be with
drawn first. This La the Eighteenth In
fantry, which will go back to its post
In Arizona. The cavalry will remain in
Texas indefinitely.
Reports from Mexico are to the effect
that the revolution is rapidly subsiding,
and just as soon as the federals oc-
cupy Juarez the American troops will
be drawn away.
Since the rainy season mas set In the
half-clad and wholly unprotected
rebels are destined for hardships while
they are crossing the mountains of
, Sonora. These, coupled with the short
age OF food, 1t is believed, will cause
many of Orozco' s men to desert.
Consular agents report, judging from
the empty cartridge belts of most of
the rebels, especially in General Roja's 8
column. the fight cannot last much
longer.
While the rebels profess not to be
alarmed at the proximity of the feder.
ais the exodus toward the mountains OF
Sonora continues daily. The govern
ment troops reached San Antonio FRI
day last, and are repairing the bridges
burned by the rebels in the flight
north.
Unofficial dispatches announce that
the federals have looted the Mormon
stores at both Colonio Morelos and
Colonio Oaxaca, in Sonora.

HOUSE COMMITTEE
FAVORS DOUBLING
AV|ATORS' SALARY
Hardwick's Measure Is Now
on Unanimous Consent
Calendar.

A favorable report by the House Com
mittee on Military Affairs on the bill
OF Congressman Thomas Hardwick of
Georgia doubling the salary of army
ofhcers actually engaged in aviation,
has been made and the bill placed on
the unanimous consent calender.
|. Congressman Hardwick in speaking of
his bill today said The United States
Is hopelessly outclassed by many other
nations In the strength of its aerial
fleets. In case of a war we would be at
great disadvantage. There seems to
be lack of appreciation for the work
the army, aviators are doing They
should be we'll paid for the great risks
they run and for the scientific work
they are doing" The CONGRESSMAN
from Georgia said that he believed fu-
ture battles would be fought from the
air.
The bill also provides there shall be
at least thirty men detailed for avia-
ton duty at the army aviation school.
Congressman William @. Sharp of
Ohio introduced a similar bill last
January, and. along with the Hardwick
BILL II was referred to the Committee on
Military Affairs. The Sharp bill diff
'fered In the fact It provided an in
crease in pay for the enlisted men en-
gagged in work at the aviation school.
Since a favorable report has been
made on the Hardwick bill, Congress
man Sharp Is expected to give his
earnest support TO see that 1t is passed.
Congressman Sharp of Ohio, Hard
wick of Georgia, Mann Of Illinois, John
son of Kentucky, Ainey OF Pennsylvania.
and Heald of Delaware are enthusiastic
believers in the aeroplane, ana can be
counted on to support bills for the ad-
vancement of aviation that may come
| up for consideration in the House.
Upon the passage of the Hardwick
bill the future of aviation in the United
States army greatly depends. Should
| the bill pass II will give the cause an
| impetus. Should II be killed and the
aviators are forced to continue to fly
| for the same salary that they would
| get in their regiments, II islbut a ques.
| ton of time until most of them will
| leave the school. While every member
| Of the school at present gladly does
| everything possible to advance the sci
| ence of aviation and daily risk their
| lives In their efforts to master the air,
| unless Congress shows some apprecia-
| tlon Of what they are doing they even
| tually will give up the work and ask
| to be returned to their regiments. where
| danger of losing their lives is slight.

Miss Kate Gilmore. who is appear
ing in Chase's this week with n sketch
entitled, 1.-THE Hunter and the Hunter
ess," does not make use OF the time
honored excuse that she is a Washing
ton product when she tries to explain
why she is so popular In the Capital
city. She doesn't realize just how pop
ular she is, guess, but she knows
that she would rather play in WASH
ington than in any OF the other cities
where her business carries her.
My one aim,' said Miss Gilmore yes
terday, over q dish OF cafe parfait, ''is
to get In touch with my audience. II
don't feel that they are responding
to me, ! feel like failure. and all the
managers and all the salary In the

harder when ! pop my little gun, l am

Gilmore has been billed at Chase's Thea

old man. angriiy. "or I will roll a big
stone in front OF the cave and you
can never get out-throw away those
ferns"
NINA saw that the man was stand
Ing on the side of a slippery stone. SO
with a sudden spring she leaped out
of the cave, throwing him out of her
path and sending him rolling down
sprawling on the ground. Then she
ran as fast as her legs could carry
her up the side OF the hill and to-
wards the palace which stood a few
miles away. She felt that the golden
box had vanished from her hand. but
the ferns were still in her grasp.
At last she reached the Kings. cas-
tie and was lead to where the Prince
sat sorrowfully alone.
Il have found the blue spring and
brought you the silver fern" she said
as she laid the bunch at his feet.
With a cry of JOY the Prince seized
the ferns and rushed to his mothers
chamber. In another moment he was
back.
MY mother was cured by them At
once" he said. 'And now she bids
me bring you TO her as my future
bride" So the Prince married little
Nina. who loved kindness more than
gold. But the old man had to return
to the cavern without the box. for
1t had flown away forever to its fairy
hcmc in the clouds.
