Governor Tener Of Pennsylvania, the

Success in baseball depends on

fail in baseball have either been slack

THE minister, you know, came to
Jethros house one afternoon to a
christening party-he was to christen
Jethros little son, Jeth, Jr.
"'Jethro,' said the minister, solemn.

ceremony; Jethro, are YOU prepared
for this solemn event?
oh, yes, indeed, DOCTOR Jethro

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, it's strength and its very
life; eventually producing a feverish-
ness and itching of the scalp, which
II 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 25 cent bottle Of Knowlton's
Danderine from any store, and after
the first application your hair will
take on that life, luster and luxuriance
which is SO beautiful. 1t will become
wavy and fluffy and have the appear
ance of abundance; an Incompatible
gloss and softness, but what will
please you most will be after just q
few weeks use, when you will actual
ly see lot Of fine, downy halr-new

Mere Time for Selection,

Jefferson City-A premature an.
nouncement was made from Joplin a
few days ago that stone from the Car.
thage quarries had been selected for
the construction of the new Missouri
statehouse. The Carthage stone may
be selected, but 1t has not been yet.
X. +. Gill, managing director Of the
company that has the contract for
erecting the building, is not ready to
make his report on stone to the build
ing commission. He is expected here
to meet the commission. A letter from
him asked for further time in which
to make tests and additional investi.
cation.

Pastor Sues for $4,000.

Warrensburg. suit of Florence
Ingram against her husband, Pierce
Ingram, for divorce, is being tried in
the circuit court in Warrensburg. The
parties to the suit are from Latour.
Two hundred witnesses have been
called.
Florence Ingram was the daughter
OF the late DR.. John A. Haller Of Rose
Hill township, and is an heiress. The
father at his death possessed several
thousand acres of rich valley land, and
was one of the wealthiest men in
Johnson county. After his death his
children had his estate incorporated
under The name of the John A. Haller
Farming company, each heir sharing
alike in the profits Of the estate.
Prior to DR.. Haller's death he built
church on his estate for the benefit
of his tenants and neighbors. Ingram
became pastor and later married Flor
ence Haller. The Haller brothers built
a parsonage for the couple and Rev.
Ingram continued some years as pas
tor Of the Haller church. He finally
departed for another charge at Brown
ington, Mo-, and shortly afterward his
wife returned to her paternal home
and sued for divorce.
Immediately following the filing Of
the divorce suit Rev. Ingram, through
his attorneys, filed suit against the
members of John A. Haller Land COM
pany for $4,000 on the charge of
alternating the affections of his wife.
This suit will be tried also at the pres.
ent term of the circuit court.

Court Retains Jurisdiction,

Jefferson City.-There is still much
discussion in legal circles of the en-
try made by the supreme court en-
banc in the lumber companies cases,
in which all motions for modification
and for rehoaring were overruled.
The bald entry made by the court
carries no explanation with it, and va
rious theories are advanced as to the
probable effect.
The retention of jurisdiction by the
court is construed by some as bar
to writ of error being taken by the
companies to the supreme court of the
United States until the fines have been
paid and the final chapter of the liti-
cation in this court is closed.

Similar Insurance Rate pema ndsd.


Jefferson City.-The commission ap.
pointed by Gov Major to investigate
fire insurance conditions in Missouri
will recommend the following legisla-
tion:
The enactment Of . law giving to
the state Insurance superintendent
power to fix fire insurance rates.
The creation by statute OF the office
OF fire marshal for the investigation Of
fires Of suspicious character and to
prescribe fire precautions.
The enactment of law giving the
superintendent of insurance discretion
in the licensing of fire insurance
agents.
Legislation prohibiting overinsur-
ance by making it a misdemeanor for
the agent or owner to overvalue prop.
erty for the purpose of insurance.
Charles q. Revelle, state insurance
superintendent, secretary of the COM
mission. said there is overwhelming
sentiment In favor of the enactment
of law giving the insurance superin.
tendent power to fix fire insurance
rates.
wherever the commission held
hearings 1t sounded the people out on
this legislation and found them favor
able" he said. During the past three
years weihave had higher insurance
rates than in recent years, and We
have been operating under the COM
pettive plan contemplated by the anti
trust statutes"
The last legislature repealed the
Oliver law, which gave the insurance
superintendent power to fix rates and
amend the antitrust act, making it
specially applicable to fire insurance
companies. One section OF this act
made it prima facie evidence of viola
tion Of the antitrust act for the com.
panies to use any rate books or cards
prepared by any other company in the
writing of insurance. The companies.
giving this as an excuse, suspended
business and threatened to withdraw
instituted by Acknowledgement Barker
brought them to terms and settle
ment was effected.
Revelle said he found great de-
mand for the office of fire marshal
"Such an officer would mean great
saving to people in fire rates. The
people have no conception Of the
amount of property destroyed by the
arson gang In this state each year. A
fire marshal and a few active deputies
would soon make it hot for this class
of criminals. This officer could also
do much to prevent fire waste by in
sisting upon the exercise of proper
fire precautions" he said.
There may be some amendments
recommended to the valued policy law,
to which companies have objected
strenuously. This law requires that
when a house is insured at certain
figure and IS destroyed the full
amount of the policy shall be paid
This act probably tends to over
insurance. While the act is generally
good an amendment making it unlaw-
full for an agent or the owner to know.
ingly insure property for more than
its value would be beneficial" Revelle
said
Revelle said before report is for
mulated by the commission meeting
will be held to give the insurance in
terests chance to offer suggestions
touching the fire insurance situation
In Missouri.
