WILL GROW COTTON IN EGYPT
Lord Kitchener Has Plans to Utilize
Nearly One Million Acres-To
Construct Big Barrage.

London.-It is said, on good author
ity, that when Lard Kitchener arrives
here shortly he will bring with him
details of a great irrigation scheme,
which will put nearly a million Egyp-
tian acres on the cotton map" The
plans for the construction of a bar
rage on the White Nile, about 37h
miles above Khartum, are now being
drawn UP by the Egyptian authorities.
In deciding on this work the gov
eminent has been influenced by the
great of the Assiut barrage
and the Esneh barrage. This vast
weir will act as a necessary auxiliary
to the drainage schemes In northern
Egypt. Within two or three years the
area in the delta will have been re-
claimed, and then the new barrage will
be urgently required. At present moth
ing but rice will grow on the swampy
land. Much of this belongs to the
Egyptian government, which, there
fore, will benefit greatly by it's drain
age. From every point Of view the
money spent on the barrage will be
an excellent investment.
1t is estimated that the scheme will
cost about 4 200, 900, and all this
will be found out Of revenue. The re-
ceipts under this head will be low this
year, SO the commencement of the bar
rage probably will be postponed for at
least twelve months. The whole work
Of construction will occupy about
three years.
Lord Kitchener, who has personally
interviewed all the leading cotton OK
perts In Egypt, has taken a prominent
part in the preparations for the sue
cessful completion of a scheme which
will materially increase the prosperity
Of the country.

PAINTS WOE ON HIS BARN
Town Meeting and Court Falling Riv-
erhead Man, He Appeals In
Big Letters.

A sign on the barn of John ].
Pigot of Riverhead, L. l., contains
the following in large white letters on
a black background:
"a thief is in possession of farms
and lands hereabouts. Law, court and
perjurers are friends of the thief"
Pigot, who is apparently an edu-
Gated man, past middle age and rep
uted to be wealthy, came here from
Brooklyn two years ago. He bought
q farm on Mill Pond, the water rights
of which are controlled by the River
head Electric Light company.
Soon afterward he complained to
the company that his land was being
flooded because the water was held
back for power. This was denied.
Then Pigot hired a hall, invited the
public, and made an address. He said
.Riverhead was controlled by a ring"
and assailed several leading citizens.
Subsequently he sued the electric
company for s 1000, alleging that his
farm had been damaged. The action
was decided by Justice Blackmar in
favor Of the company.

STOLE TO GET NEW START
Bank Cashier Experiences overpower-
Ing Impulse to Get Some Place
and Start Life Anew.

A bank teller in a middle western
state grew weary Of the narrow, cir
cumscribed life in the town where he
lived; he wanted wider interests, a
new start in a new place, but a start
with capital so he could push him
self ahead. He took $4,000 of the
banks funds, jumped into his auto
mobile and started for Mexico (this
was before the present revolution
across the Rio Grande had reached
such serious proportions) across Kan
sas, Oklahoma and Texas. He ex-
pected to make a clean getaway by
using a motor car instead of taking a
train, forgetting that an auto can be
traced. The surety company at once
put an inspector on his trail, and the
man was captured in Texas when he
was almost at Laredo, ready to cross
the border.
OF the sum he stole, $4,000 was re
covered in the actual wrappers in
which he had taken it from the bank
The automobile was recovered and
sold, and the proceeds used to make
up for part of the money he had spent
This cashier is now serving a Iona
sentence in prison merely because he
experienced an oyerpowering impulse
to go some place and start life anew

RASH SPREAD RAPIDLY

Granton, Wis.-"My sister had a

some time and slightly swelled. A
thin fluid dripped and ran from the
sores which looked like water. Then
the swelling would go down and it
would keep on spreading. 1t bothered
her during sleep and she would be
restless. It was a kind Of eczema.

the time they had reached the house
all were in a state bordering on

grief, though the practise has been
forbidden and has fallen into disuse

HOPE FOR THE BALD HEAD
Sewing Hairs on scaIps Is Proving
Successful-Fine Gold Wires
F.. Are Used.

A method Of sewing hairs in the
human scalp in cases of partial or
total badness has been successfully
used in several instances by Doctor
Szekely, at the hospital Of Saint Ste
phane at Budapest, and a report ap-
pears in the London Times.
The number of hairs planted" in
the head of a patient has been as
many as $4,000. One hundred hairs
are drawn through punctures in the
scalp to every square centimeter, and
as both ends are left free, the number
Is thus 200, or over one thousand to
each square inch. Very fine gold
wires are used, one five-hundreths of
an inch in diameter, and fine long
hairs from a woman's head are at,
tached at the middle of these. The
gold loop or knot acts as an anchor"
and after sterilization is introduced
into the simultaneous tissue, where
it is slightly twisted, and holds the
hair permanently in position. 1t is
stated that 500 hairs can thus be In
troduced into the scalp within three
quarters of ON hour.
Doctor Szekely has designed a spe-
cial instrument for introducing and
fixing the gold wires. The latter are
80 light and so fine that the total
amount of gold in the scalp after
planting" $4,000 hairs is only one
gramme. The hair is stated to appear
perfectly natural, and a capsule Of
tissue appears to form around each
gold wire knot. The Inflammation re-
sulting from the treatment entirely
disappears in from ten to twelve days,
and in no case, so far, has any in
tense Inflammation or suppuration re-
suited. The hair can be washed,
brushed and treated with oil in the
ordinary way, and one Of the earliest
patients SO treated, a lady, has re-
tanned her hair intact, with the orig
inal luster and iexibility, for over
seven years,
