Answer-Have you never tried g1o- rio1 wavolene? It is delightful hair dressing def1es detection and make the hair cur1s and wave beautifully. One application will keep the hair in curl for a week or more and many report that after it has been used re- peatedly the hair assumes a natural wave and curl. Try it and let me hear from you.

MORE MOTHERS PENSIONS

A supplementary bill to the mothers
pension act was repassed in the House
last week. William A. Campbell of
Minneapolis, author of the mothers
pension bill, also is author of this bill.
Deserted wives are provided for in
the supplement; ry bill. When n;.s-
bands desert their wives they nay be
put to work on county roads and their
wages sent home.
Four new cases in which relief is
asked under the new law for mothers
pensions are listed for consideration at
the next session of the Juvenile court.
County Auditor Ries will try to OBJ
tain the use of the outdoor relief fund
for the payment of mothers pensions
until January l next.

, Freight Business is Practically Clear
Profit
"The express and freight business
being in the nature of a by-product
are pure velvet"
Thirty-fi Interurban Roads in Iii
nois earn $4,8O8 per mile from passen-
ger traffic, some earning $4,000 to
$4,000 per mile.
The average freight earnings of IS
Interurbans in Illinois are $3.50 per
mile. Roads well situated for freight
earn from $1,000 to $4,000 per mile
from this source alone.
, Interurban Roads Increase Farmers
Profits and The Value of Land
They make the farmer independent
of the condition of country roads en-
abling him to market his produce at
the most favorable moment and, be-
cause of their speed to deliver the
most perishable articles in the best
condition.
Cutting The Cost of Food
The city of Philadelphia commits
stoned Prof. Clyde King of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania to make an in
quiry into the high cost of Philadel-
phia living. Prof. King and his aids
took number of standard articles of
food and traced them from the soil to
the table. They followed these articles
every step of the way, noted every adj
d;tion to the price, who got it and
why. Then they made the following
recommendations:
1. The development of a trolley
freight system from farm to city,
!! with trolley terminals in various Sec
tions of the city.
2. The development of municipal
markets.
The Philadelphia board of aldermen
is now about to carry these plans into
effect.
A city of New York commission dis
covered that the people of the east
side were buying decayed apples while
good apples lay on the ground less
than a hundred miles away because
the growers couldn't make proper
shipping arrangements. Plans are
under way to stop this waste of apples
and of health.
Des Moines has established NUM-
cipal markets, which have reduced the
cost to the consumer so per cent and
increased the price to the farmer SO
rper cent.
Baltimore to date has spent 81, 5000,-
900 on it's municipal markets; the re-
ceipts have been $3,2O0,0O0, and the
householder has got his produce lower
than ever before.
A similar investigation in Chicago
might show that this city too, is suf-
fering from archaic methods of distri-
button and wasteful multiplicity of
middlemen.

EXPERTS: STUDY ELECTRIC ROADS.
REPORT ON THE MANY ADVANTAGES

Mr.. Edward P. Burch, who is pro-
fessorial lecturer in electric railway
engineering at the University of Min
nesota and also a prominent consult
ing engineer, recently said in an adj
dress before the Engineers society at
the University that electricity as a
motive power in preference to steam
gives a railroad an increased degree
OF efficiency in the use of railroad in
vestments, better service and more
safety for the travelling public.
"The steam locomotive has limit
ed capacity" said Mr.. Burch, "it is in
efficient in the use of coal, it entails
heavy standby losses and is in service
but a few hours of the day. The re-
ciprocating motion and intermittent
forces in heavy locomotives at high
speed are responsible for broken rails,
track displacement, and the resulting
derailment of trains!
by change to the electric motive
power system, operating expenses can
be greatly reduced, and the larger
eastern roads find a reduction of SO
per cent in fuel per ton mile in mixed
freight, switching and passenger SER
vice; also reduction of so per cent in
locomotive maintenance and substan-
tlal reductions in road-bed mainten-
ance and in the cost of labor per train
or ton-mile hauled. All these advan-
tages will follow from an increased
and more efficient use of the great in
vestment in tracks, terminals, and
equipments.
Safety is enhanced with electric
traction because of the simplicity in
the revolving motor and the steadiness
or continuity of the applied forces.
The engineman and his helper can
give their attention to the signals and
to the track, and not to shoveling coal,
the production of steam and the care
of complicated reciprocating mech
anism.
"The cost of Identification adds only
% per cent to the cost of a complete
railroad system. The added invest
ment has been found to result in ade-
quate facilities or greater capacity for
traffic, and to greater efficiency in OPP
GRAFTON, resulting in an increased net
revenue on the original and the added
investment for identification. In this
way better engineering and economic
results are to be obtained in transpor-
tation."
Profits and Advantages
The number of passengers carried
each year by Interurban Roads in ILL
nois is ten times the total population
of the state.
Congressman w. B. Mckinley, head
of the Illinois Traction System who
has built and operated more miles of
traction railroads than any other man
in the country is quoted:
eve have built one link after an
other in our system and in every case
the result has been the same. The
people have instantly appreciated the
new service and we have not had to
hunt for business because it has all
come to u.s."
zone thing is certain, an interurban
trolley line connecting two cities with
a good agricultural country, as the
meat in the sandwich, will pay almost
from the start from its passenger
traffic alone"

MYSTERIOUS ."MR. SPENCER"
BELIEVED IN CHICAGO

The mysterious ''Mr. Spencer" be-
ieved to be the slayer of Mrs. Mildred
Allison Rexroat, is being sought in
Chicago today.
A man answering his description
and giving the name of Boweres was
arrested in Lynch's barber shop,
Madison and Clark streets, shortly
before noon. He was later released.
Capt Halpin of the detective
bureau thinks he has evidence which
will ultimately lead to the arrest of
the man who murdered the pretty
tango teacher He would give out no
information.
More information concerning the
missing man has been uncovered by,
the police He was formerly en-
pIoyed at the White City Amusement
Park, where Mrs. Rexroat once had
concession.
When she became a teacher at
Frank blossoms dance hall on 31st
street he became regular patron of
the place. His interest in the teacher
was noticeable. to habitue sof the
hall.
"Spencer's" hangout was at the
corner of 31st and Cottage Grove
avenue, sacred to the memory of nu-
merous auto bandit gangs.
1t was to a rooming house in that
district detectives were hurried this
morning to trace down a clue. But
their search revealed nothing.
Allison, first husband of the dead
woman, said that Mrs. Rexroat was
possessed of an abnormal affection
that only found an outlet in the
snaky, sinuous movements of the
tango dance.
1t was her passion for this dance
that eventually led the woman to her
death. 1t was that that made her go
into the wilds of lonely country dis
trict with strange man, whose chief
charm lay in satisfying her craze for
the sensuous tango.

WITNESS TELLS OF SUFFERS
STOCK SPECULATING

Albany, N. Y, Sept. 3o.-Centered
on the stock transactions of Gov.
Sulzer, the fight to remove him from.
Office was continued today. The stock
speculative margin accounts carried
with the firm of Harris & Fuller from
March, 1910, to June, 1913, were ex-,
plotted with Melville B. Fuller ON the
stand.
Fuller, in reply to a question by
Attorney Kresel, admitted that he
considered the Sulzer account a pure
ly speculative margin account. He
said it was carried as a speculative
account until after Sulzer was elected
and then transferred to the loan ac-.
count books because he and his part
ner did not think it wise to have stock
bearing Gov. Suffers name carried
in such a way that it might be hawk
ed about Wall street.
Fuller's testimony emphasized the
fact that for years the governor has
specialized. On January 1, 1912, Sui
ger, then a member of congress, owed
the Harris & Fuller firm $4S, 559,3S
according to Fuller's testimony.
After he was elected governor Sulzer
paid to the firm $21 900.
Attorneys for the prosecution hope
to complete their side today and Sui
zer's legal staff said they would not
require more than four or five days
to put in their defense. a

From the Pioneer:

From the Pioneer:
The farmers residing in the clay
districts have been trying to do a
little haying between rains during
the past week, but this has been up
hill work, for the showers have fol-
lowed one another so closely that the
hay has not had time to cure before
getting soaking.
Silos are springing up in various
parts of the country districts around
Iron River. One is now being built
on the Loveland farm down on the
Iron River on what was known as
the 'Hynes Headquarters" 1t is
being constructed of concrete.
Misses Catherine O'Brien and
Laura Schachte won first and third
respectively for this district in the
Superior Telegram voting contest
which terminated last Saturday
evening. Miss O'Brien won a piano
and Miss Schachte a gold watch,
Miss Loura Olson, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Eben Olson, of Pcrtwing,
won secoLd place and will receive a
diamond ring. Miss O'Brien had a
large lead over all competitors in
this districts.
The new steel reservoir of the
Iron River Water, Light & Power
Company is nearing completion. 1t
is fifty feet 10 height above the con-
crete base, and is sixteen feet in
diameter, and is located on the hill
southwest of John A. Pettingill s
residence. The erection of the
reservoir will do away with the
necessity of running the pumps or
keeping up steam at the power house
during the hours when the dynamoes
are not running and the company
figures that the reservoir will soon
pay for itself in the saving of fuel
and in the wages of the day engineer
at the plant.

CHICAGO, Sept. 16.-High school
principals in Chicago today registered
a vigorous kick because the school
management committee of the board
of education raised their salaries; not
because they did not want the raise
but because the resolution appropriate
ing additional funds put them on the
same plane with brick layers. The
principals protested to Mrs. Ella
Flagg Young, superintendent of
schools, when 1t was learned that
the committee in approving twenty
per cent salary increase recommend.
ed that they put in an additional
hour each day at the schools, working
six hours instead OF five. They as
serted that teaching was a profession
not to be regulated by hours and that
to meet the committees condition
they must accept classification as
tradesmen. laboring by the hour.
The protest will be considered by
the committee tomorrow.
