Leaders Of society in New York
know the social value of attractive
hair, and, according to a metropol-
ttan newspaper, every society
woman spends a great deal of
money to keep her hair beautiful
and respondent.
These women employ highly paid
dressers and specialists, and so
long as they have the money to
crafty their desire for beautiful
hair none should complain
But what about the thousands
upon thousands of women just as
intelligent, just as refined, and just
as lovable as any society woman,
who have not the means for expert
hair dressers and specialists?
What are they to do2
Are they not entitled to beauti-
full, lustrous and luxuriant hair?
Most assuredly they are, and

JOE MOTTO RELATES
THRILLING EXPERIENCE
Was In Water Eighteen Hours Fight.
ing Way from Tree TO Tree In e.
forts to Reach His Brother.

Last Thursday and Friday there
was persistent rumor that Joe Note
had been drowned, some negroes re
porting that they saw him when hi
went under. The report, however, was
untrue and he is now in the city, bul
has athrilling experience to relate.
His brother, Charlie Noto and fami
ly, were at their farm in the bottom
between the rivers, and knowing theil
perilous position he determined tc
reach them if possible. Taking his
best saddle horse on Thursday, he
rode to the Little Brazos near where
the Interurban crosses. but could moi
secure a boat. He offered $25 to any
body who would take him to his
brothers house, but could find no one
who would undertake the trip. De
termined to go, he pulled off his
clothes, took the saddle from his
horse and at o'clock p. m, plunged
into the raging floods. The horse
lasted but fifty yards, when he turned
and attempted to regain the shore
but was swept away.
MOTTO. after losing his horse, caught
to tree, rested ten minutes and then
proceeded to another tree just a few
yards away. Slowly and laboriously
with death but span away, he work.
ed his way from tree to tree. When
there was no tree he would lay hold
of dead mule, dead cow hog or any
drift that was floating past and after
short rest, would make for the next
tree, or next carcass. In this way he
continued to fight his way further and
further into the bottom foot by foot.
Night came on, but the light OF the
moon aided him in his struggle
against death, with the odds largely in
favor of the grim reaper Finally the
moon went down and he was alone in
the wilderness of waters, with death
all around him. Freezing and ex.
hausted, with no guide but few flick.
ering lights that he knew to be in the
direction of his brothers home, he
continued his heroic struggle. Day
light found him still struggling and at
s o'clock Friday morning, after IS
hours of peril and being in momentary
peril of death, he made it to his broth
er's house. He found them safe with
water ave or six feet deep in their
home, but prepared for the seige. He
