FALLING HAIR MEANS
DANDRUFF is ACTIVE
Save Your Hair! Get a 25-Cent Bottle
of Danderine Right NOw-AlsO
Stops Itching Scalp

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence of a neglected
scalp; of dandruff-that awful scurf.
There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. 1t robs the hair
of its luster, its strength and it's very
life; eventually producing feverish-
ness and itching of the scalp, which
if not remedied causes the hair roots
to shrink, loosen and die-then the
hair falls out fast. A little Danderine
tonight-now-any time-will surely
save your hair.
Get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store or
toilet counter, and after the first ap-
plication your hair will take on that
life, luster and luxuriance which is so
beautiful. 1t will become wavy and
fluffy and have the appearance of
abundance; an incompatible gloss and
softness, but what will please you
most will be after just a few weeks
use, when you will actually see lot
Of fine, downy hair--new hair-grow-
ing all over the scalp.--Adv.

WHY THE SEASON
WILL BE WET ONE
Pacific Rural Press)

To the Editor: The rains have
come ideally, so far; they could not
have come better, for the whole state
has recently got good allotment for
early November. Rains at this time
start the feed when the ground is yet
warm and unlike the earlier starting,
it is so close to the main rainy Pc
riod Of normal rainy seasons that the
probability of drying out before an
other good rain is eliminated. Plow-
ing and other agricultural work can
also be begun timely.
But these now self evident facts are
not what we aim to discuss-it is
weather conditions. We had with a
number of others forecasted wet
season, that was presumably probable
after two dry seasons you might
rightfully claim. But we now already
have evidence as to still further prob
abilities, and for that purpose are
sending you the weather map of No
vember IL, the day the rain went
south and gave San Luis Obispo about
two inches of rain, with copious rains
as far south as San Diego.
San Luis Obispo has now practically
to date the same rainfall as Eureka,
the ear mark of coming wet season.
Last year, right up even to January
/, Eureka's rainfall was preponder-
atingly greater than at the San Luis
or Point Conception latitude. The
weather map enclosed explains it. The
welcome low barometer area on the
18th inst. was right off the bay region
of the state. Not once did it deign
to come down this far south last year;
it never does in drier seasons. But in
wetter seasons, and even in normal
rainy seasons, the barometer very
frequently comes in with it's low GEN.

COMPRESS is INSTALLED
IN THE CALEXICO GIN

CALIFORNIA; first bale of compressed
cotton was ginned and compressed in
Calexico Friday. The work was done
in the gin which has just been COM
pleted and was operated for the first
time that day. The compressor makes
500-pound bale of cotton into 26 by
20 by "a inches, completely wrapping
in bagging, which prevents waste and
leakage. Indiscriminate sampling is
prevented by a sample of the cotton
of each bale being taken at the time
Of the COMPRISING and tied into a
small sack, which is tied to the out
side Of the bale.
Compressed bales save large per
cent Of waste to the shipper and draw
a premium over the old loose style
of baling. Cotton manufacturers pay
a premium for it because of the saw
Imperial Valley press., 1913-12-02

ing made in storage warehouses.
Lower shipping rates are also made by
water transportation companies for
this style of bale for saving in space
for the same number of pounds. An
attempt is being made at this time
to get reduction in rates for railroad
hauls for compressed cotton.
Charles S. Spur, the organizer and
manager of the new gin company,
chose Calexico for the location of his
new gin for the reason that a greater
acreage of cotton is grown about this
town than there is about any other
town in California. 1t has been esti-
mated that Calexico's cotton crop will
be worth $1,25O,0OO this year.

Big Profits of Parcel Post

Rochester Union and Advertiser:
That the express companies were JUS
tilted from their point of view in
fighting tooth and nail the establish
ment of a parcel post is seen from
the result of the first year of opera
ton of the parcel post system. With
enough of the figures in to enable
the profits to be estimated, it is now
thought that these will be in the
neighborhood of $30,0O0,OO0. The fig
ures give the lie to the opponents of
this feature of the postal service, who
contended that it would be an insult
ferable burden upon the people. 1t
has proved the greatest profit maker
that the government postal service
has ever had. But as the govern
ment's activities are not supposed to
be exercised for the making of profit,
it is in order for those in charge of
the system to devise some means
whereby the people who patronize the
parcel post will obtain the full benefit
of it. 1t is proposed to raise the
limit upon the weight of articles that
are to be carried.
That the establishment of the parcel
post was in accord with the desires Of
the people is shown by the fact that
the profits accruing from it are due
mostly to the enormous use of it by
the people. This use comes because
the rates are so much lower than those
of the express companies as to be at
tractive to shippers. When the par
eel post was established, the govern
ment had no way of calculating the
rates to be charged than by the work
ings of the express companies. These
pointed out that their earnings were
not excessive. Of course, no one ia
miliar with them and their history
took stock in their cry Of small earn
ings. Yet their profits were SO ma
nipulated by means of an involved
system of bookkeeping that it was
difficult to discover what they really
were. They have not yet abandoned
this system of bookkeeping, for the
Imperial Valley press., 1913-12-02

Is express companies of the country
last year showed a profit on paper of
only per cent. But if we calculate
the earnings upon issues of stock
made since their formation and take
note of other things in connection
with them, they really earned about
80 per cent. Thus, while the govern
ment was fairly certain that the cost
Of operation of the system would war
rant lower rates than those first es-
tablished, it did not dare take the
risk of making them too low. So sue
cessful were the express companies at
concealing the real cost of their serv-
ice that the present postal rates based
upon their expenses are wildly in ex-
cess Of the cost of the service. The
rates for the first pound are arbitrary.
But in the 250-mile zone the rates aft
er this pound are eight times the cost
of the service. At the 100-mile limit
the rates are six times the cost. Now
that experience has shown lower rates
to be practicable, we shall have them,
whether in the form of actually lower
rates or in that of the carriage of
larger or heavier packages at the
rates now prevailing makes little diff
ference. Perhaps a combination of
the two may be decided upon.
The figures will surprise and please
the people. They will know that they
are to be able to have this excellent
service at lower cost than the pres
ent, which after years of express
rates seems in all conscience low
enough. With the lower cost will
come an increased use of the service.
1t will no doubt be extended so as to
decrease materially the cost of living.

United Shoe
Company Suit
(gy United Press Associations

(By United Press ASSocfations)
Boston, Dec. 2.-Contending that
the Sherman antitrust law is uncon-
stitutional because by its provisions
unreasonable restraint of trade in and
monopolies of interstate trade and
commerce are made misdemeanOrs,
and because it delegates to others
than congress the duty of creating and
defining offenses against the United
States, the United Shoe Machinery
Company of Boston today opened its
defense before the full bench of the
United States district court. The gov
ernment opened its dissolution suit
against the United Shoe Machinery
Company last spring. Ever since sus-
pension of the trial on June 25, last,
the case has been dragging before
Gen. Charles X. Darling, clerk of the
court, who sat as special examiner
for the federal court to hear testimony
on the patented issues. When the
cases was suspended last June the
government had concluded its case ex-
cept for the phase that relates to pat
ents. A third contention that the
Sherman law is unconstitutional was
made when the case was resumed to-
day, on the ground that there is no
federal statute defining such unrea-
sonable restraints or monopolies as
are charged against the United Shoe
Company.
Owing to the fact that the question
at issue is primarily one of patents
and of the rights and privileges of
patentees, the defense put in good
deal of its case during the past few
months while the patent matter was
before General Darling for disposition.
The government has asked for the dis
solution of the so-called shoe machin-
cry trust, which, centered in Boston,
is capitalized at more than 81, ,000,-
900 and is alleged to control 95 per
cent of the shoe machinery trade of
the country.
The federal authorities further de-
mand in their petition that the lease
and license agreements providing for
the exclusive use of certain machinery
be declared void and that the defend
ants be perpetually restrained from
making or enforcing such provisions.
The complete list of defendants called
when the case opened today includes: ::
United Shoe Machinery Company of
New Jersey, with offices and place of
business in Boston; United Shoe Ma
chinery Corporation of Boston; United
Shoe Repairing Machinery Company,

that woman did? Wrote me a note

that she was perfectly discouraged at
his lack of interest. She said he knew

the party was at the Bertons. I told
her so-and she said stolidly: What
of it? The Bertons! Why, know
women who'd give their eye teeth to
get their children noticed by the Ber-
tons. Of course, your Evangeline
wasn't asked because you've only
lived here two years, and Mrs. Berton
is so particular with whom her chill
dren associate. She selects only the
very best. Of course, if she really
knew Evangeline am sure"

responsibilities.
eff you were capable teacher,
Miss Etterick,' said, instead of COM
planning about poor little Frederick
and making his life miserable with
your nagging you would know what to
do to push him ahead! I am sure
that's what a teacher ought to do
"Really, my dear, I thought for a
minute that awful woman was going
to be insufferably insolent. She said
something about its not being her
duty to furnish brains for her pupils,
but l ignored it. She is utterly i'm
possible.
"T shall expect I told her, firmly,
| good reports from Frederick from

"T am sure,' she said, 4 kope you'll
get them! But if you want good re-
ports from him you must make him

"'Miss Etterick,' I replied, 4 am
endeavoring to bring my son up in
way that will encourage him to do
things without being made! l would
not insult his intelligence by ordering
him to do anything!
