SAYS DEAN FINE TO
 DARkEN GRAY HAIR
Apply to Hair and Scalp Like a ShampO0-Hair Darkened So
 Eyently No One Can Tell.

"Q-Ban," says a renowned hair and skin specialist, applied to hair and scalp on retiring, just like sham poo, will darken the gray, faded or streaked with gray hair so evenly and naturally that no one can tell it has been applied. In addition your hair will have that soft luster and ap- pearance of abundance which makes the hair so fascinating and attractive. It is not sin t ohaye gray hair and look old, but is unnecessary, as e. Ban" will keep your hair a dark, even shade and make you look young and vigorous. An application or two of "Q-Ban" is guaranteed to beautiful ly darken gray hair. Try it. ''Q-Ban" Is not sticky, harmless, delightful to use. It will please, delight and sur prise you with dark, beautiful hair and lots of it. A large seven-ounce bottle sold and guaranteed for o1ly oO cents by w. L. Dewoody, Pine Bluff. Ark.

Centennial Celebration for Town

NeW HarMony, Ind, June 6-The centennial of this town was celebrat- ed today by it's loyal citizens, and preparations have been made to ey- tend the features throughout the week. One hundred years ago this town, whose history is as interesting as any in the state, was founded by the followers of Gedrge Rapp, who are sometimes known as Harmon lsts,' from which the town received it's name. It was here the doctrine Of universal elementary education at public expense, without regard to sex or sect, as duty of the state was first proclaimed in the middle west and this conception of the states duty has found expression in a com mon school system that is the glory of the republic. A number of noted speakers will be here during the weeks celebrations, among them be- ing former President Taft, Col. G. B. Lockwood, of Muncie, and Gov. Ral- ston.

"The convict iAall the more strik-

The convict all the more strlk- ing when the cost of American free la Dor is compared with foreign convict labor. This competitor the legisla- lures of the various states are tryin g essary is effective national legislation, when it is known that American has, all told, less than 150,000 convicts while foreign countries have more than 2,060,000 conYicts; and also when it is known that American con- victs manufacture only few varieties of articles, not probably exceeding g twenty-five, while foreign convicts are employed in the manufacture of more than 100 different articles"
 The senate committee directs atten- ton to the fact that various tariff laws in the past have provided against the importation of convict-made goods, but it says one law has not been car ried out because the treasury depart ment was not given the proper ma chinery and support, The tariff law of 1890, says the senate committee, contained prohibition against the entry of foreign goods made by con- yicts and the laws 1895, 1897, 1909 and 1913 retained the prohibitory clause.
 "The principle of this prohibition has therefore been approved for a period of twenty-four years by both Democrats and Republican presl- dents and congresses, showing that it has never been a partisan issue and that it's justice is recognized by all' continues the report of the senate committee.
 Ut may be presumed that Congress believed that this prohibition was ef- fective and accomplished the plain purpose of it's original intent. h. vestigation, however, shows that since it's enactment 24 years ago, there has not been a single seizure, forfeiture or penalty imposed for violation.
 "The proposed law provides, in ad- dition to the present regulations of the treasury, method of proceeding in any United States district court within which convictmade goods are found, thus adding new methods oi investigation and aiding the Treasury department by the assistance of United States marshals, district at torneys and district courts. Provis- ion is made for fine and imprison ment of those persons who knowingly and fraudelently enter, or attempt ts enter, foreign convict-made merchaS disc <in our market"

WOULD BAR FOREIGN PAUPER- MADE GOODS Measure Before Congress Has Prospect of Early

 Hired for Few Cents.
BENEFITS FREE LABOR
(By Jonathan 'Winfield).

Washington, June 6.-Legislatlon .that will effectively bar from the United States all lmportations o1 goods, wares and merchandise maoe in whole or part by convict, pauper or detained labor, or made in whole or Ill part from materials which have been manipulated by such labor is now pending in congress with prospect ol >early passage.
 The bill, which will have far-reach. ing effect, has passed the house and has been reported by the senate com mittee on manufactures. ItlS an lm- nertant measure desired by organized labor and if the law is rigidly enforc- ed as provided for in the plans of the house and senate, it will check en- tirely the wholesale shipments lhto this country of goods made by cheap nauper or convict labor of Europe.
 The restrictions will cover vast ouantities of convict-made goods ana on this point the report illed oy Senator Reed, for the committee on manufactures, says:
 "The American contractor pays from 50 to Q cents day for convict 1abor. The foreign contractors pay from 5 to 25 cents per day for convlc' 1.hor Such competition with free 1abor is ruinous. As an Illustration The nrison contractor making boots ond shoes working 300 American convicts 300 days in the year, at "a oon+c dav would pay for labor Sllz,- ROO.

CHAR TO PROMOTE
 AGRICULTURE
Plans to Make Auto Tour of South
 Russia to Study Conditions.

St. Petersburg, June 6.-The czar will shortly undertake motor-car tour of South Russia in order that he may gain a thorough understanding of the agricultural situation there. He will be accompanied by the min ister of agriculture, M. Krivoschein, who is a very strong upholder of a forward policy for the development of agricultural affairs.
 A motor-car tour for the czar IS quite a novelty, and, while the country people are not likely to catch more than a glimpse of the Little Father" as he is borne swiftly past, yet the tour is being looked forward to with the most eager anticipation in the osuth.
