Pursuit.

DULUTH. MINI, Sept. 27.-That
1t requires little experience or any
special kind Of hooks and bait TO
catch a fish in st. Louis River Is
vouched for.
Miss Jane Sullivan, with a couple
of friends, went up the river in
launch. Asking what kind of a hook
was required, she was jokingly told
that anything with bend on one end
would do
Acting on this advice, she inquired
if an ordinary buttonhook would do
and, being told that 1t would, she
tied one TO the end of a long shoe
lace and let it drag in the water
Whether the attraction to the hook
may have been the young woman
owner or whether 1t was the shiny
appearance OF the hook, at any rate,
and the story Is vouched for by Frank
II. Wade and Lyndon Lunch, a pike
said to have weighed nearly two
pounds, bit on it. The pike was cas-
lily landed and was shown by Miss

LOSING YOUR HAIR 4?
Read What a Herpicide
Enthusiast Says

You are becoming bald. The hair is
getting thin on the top of your head
and unless you take my advice you
will, before long, be as hairless as a
croQuet ball. Remember too that
chronic badness is incurable.
1t is all due to dandruff. l can tell,
because you always have dandruff
flakes on your coat collar. Besides be-
ing an indication of impending bald
ness, it also suggests untidiness.
Newbro's Herpicide causes dandruff
to disappear and prevents the hair
from falling out. 1t has a wonderfully
identifying effect upon the hair, pro-
ducing changes which are sometimes
beyond belief.
You are not taking any chances when
you purchase Herpicide and you are
tempting fate when you use anything
else Herpicide has thousands upon
thousands of satisfied users who testify
to its germ destroying and hair pre-
serving qualities.
Newbros Herpicide in soc and s1-o0
sizes is sold by all dealers who guar
antee it to do all that is claimed. If

IRRIGATION IN BARTON.
Installing Many Plants and Comply
With Registration Laws.

Great Bend. Kan, Sept. 2.-The sud-
den demand for irrigating plants in
Kansas, following the drouth of this
summer. has resulted in scores of such
plants being esta blished all over West
ern Kansas. and very few of those who
are putting in plants are following the
law recently passed by the legislature
which provides that any person who
uses for irrigation water from any
creek, stream or well must file a petit
ton with the county clerk of the coun
ty in which the plant is to be located,
telling Of their intention.
Three such petitions have been filed
this week with County Clerk Younkin.
Frank Wood petitions for the use of
water from the creek and to build a
dam. E. T.. Gano files a petition to
pump water from the creek, and so
does Jake AIefs, further west. The law
provides that the dam when built must
be a certain size and kind and also
provides that all persons who are bene
fitted by the same shall pay an annual
rental for the water used which shall
go to the person building the dam. The
petitions state how much land it is in
tended to irrigate. and those sections
which can be provided for in a like
manner The law also provides the
amount of water that can be pumped.
In addition % the plants mentioned
above, Will Stanley on the creek has a
big pump going; Norm DucheSne is lr-
rigating sixty acres of ground with a
2, 00O-gallon- minute pump; Frank
Mckinney is arranging to put in a
plant, as also are Dawson & Zutavern,
who have one of the big alfalfa farms
of the west. Harry Arnold of Albert is
putting in a big outfit and from every
part of the county come reports of
plants that are to be put down this fall
or spring. The winter irrigation is
counted on a being the best in this
country, and there is rush to get
plants in this fall

Annual Haskell COrnhuSker Game
Under Arc Lights.

Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 1.-The Haskell
Indian football team when it meets
the Nebraska Cornhuskers on the
gridiron this fall, will feature in one
of the most novel of enterprises ever
presented on the local football field.

not officially approved of. Athletic
Manager Reed has already completed
arrangements and is now awaiting the
action of the board of control of Ne
braska university at its first meet
ing after the opening of school.
Over the big athletic field Reed
plans to string monster are lights, that
the gridiron may be lighted as bright
as day. A white ball will be used, the
pigskin to be coated with a covering
of white paint and he is certain that
the success of the plan is already guar
anteed.
In order to attract the Lincoln resi-
dents who desire to view a big foot
ball game but must labor during the
day. Reed has devised the scheme of
the night game. Besides this feature
the novelty of the event is expected
to attract a larger crowd than would
ordinarily view a game with the Has

entire needs of the city should the

deemed advisable to conserve the wa
ter as much as possible. This, with a
