HAIR AND SCALP
NEED DAILY CARE

Beautiful Hair Is Within the Reach Of All
If you value the appearance of your
hair, you should treat your scalp as often
and well as you brush your teeth, and
rub into the scalp pores twice daily a

not mere hair tonic" II is bottled
nourshment for the hair roots, and it is
simply wonderful what an Improvement

less look in the hair, making il soft,
fluffy, glossy and beautiful. Two or
three applications remove every trace of

return. The Red Cross Pharmacy and
the leading druggists everywhere can
furnish you with Partisan ssge-it costs
but a trine.-Ady.

REMARKABLE TEST
At CARSON VALLEY

The farmers of the Carson Valley
organized a cow-testing association
last April and have already obtained
results that prove the value of the or
ganization. but in the short period OF
four months. during which the test has
been applied, the productive value of
each COW. 1t has been discovered, can
not fairly be determined. The test
will be continued and next season It's
value will undoubtedly be fully DEM
onstrated.
1t has been shown that the average
production for the four months
amounted to $6.4S monthly to the COW.
the total figures by the month being
as follows: Is cows produced $3.50
to $3.50; IL COW produced $3.50 to
$3.50; 119 COWS produced $3.50 to
$3.50; 81 cows produced $3.50 to $3.50;
SO COWS produced $3.50 to $40: 81
cows produced $40 or more.
This list gives the dairy owners
just what they want to know. 1t Is the
application of business system to the
farm. Years ago farmers discovered
that it cost no more to have good
horses of approved blood strains do
the work required Of them on the
farm than 1t did to keep animals of
no pedigree. SO the dairy man has
the fact driven home to him that it
costs no more to care for q COW that
will produce $40 a month In milk than
1t does to keep one that win produce
only $3.50.
The dairy men Of Carson Valley do
have to be told what to do next.
They are men who are telling the
other fellow. Their work is merely
a start toward improving their herds
and the time is rapidly approaching
when, ss the consequence OF such
work as this, Carson Valleys fame az
a dairying center will be spread all
over the country.
Such systematic study as this of the
Carson Valley Cow Testing associa-
tion ought to be carried on in every
part Of Nevada. Every farmer, him.

UP FROM LOVELOCK
FOR THE RODEO

Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Loorz are I'D
from Loyelock to attend the Rodeo.
Mr.. Loor Is a prominent rancher In
the north end of the valley and was
one OF the builders of the storage res.
erVoir at the Humboldt House. Mr..
Loorz says the reservoir was a great
blessing this year. They had been
storing water for two years and this
season 1t was badly needed. Not a
drop OF water has been flowing in
the river in the lower valley since
early summer. But the ranchers with
water rights under the reservoir all
nave good crops.
Mr.. Loorz says they are getting
ready to enlarge the reservoir by
building the entertainments higher. The
stockholders in the reservoir pay a
charge of s~eventy.fve cents an acre
for maintenance. Then they are pay
Ing of an Indebtedness OF $4,000.
They sold considerable water to out.
side parties this year at two dollars
an acre. The Humboldt House reser.
voir has been a great object lesson
in the value OF storing water. MI.
Loorz says that the crops saved this
year by the reservoir more than equal
its first cost.
Mr.. Loorz got two irrigations from
the reservoir and some Of the stock
holders got three. Without the reser.
voir they would have had no irriga.
ton whatever.
Mr.. Loorz says the north end OF
Lovelock valley is increasing in popu.
lation and they now employ two teach.
ers in the Fairview district. He thinks
many cattle will be fed in the valley
this winter and that alfalfa will com.
mand a good price.

Former President Taft, who was there
to attend the sessions of the American
Bar association. Simon %Bamberger
was selected to act as POSTMASTER at
that banquet and the patriotic note he
struck in his opening remarks before
the distinguished assemblage is wor-

the banQueters were aroused to a high
pitch Of enthusiasm. Simon Bamberg-
err said:
Il was born in Germany. l am
bound to its people by many ties.
There are the recollections OF my

To me 1t means more than France
and more than England. But it does
not mean as much as America. No
country ever did-no country ever
will.
1T should be the ambition Of every
person living in this republic. no mat

or a citizen by choice, no matter
whether he had the constitution thrust
upon him o. volunteered a solemn

hard, personaI representative Of Count Won Bernstorff, the German ambassadorJ who now is enroute to Berlin to outline the attitudeNof the American government before making response.
 The note which brought on the crisis in President Wilson's cabinet and eliminated in the resignation of William J. Bryan as secretary of state, although friendly in character, firm ly renews previous demands that the government give assurances that American lives and vessels shall here ! after Hbe safeguarded. What action the United States will take in the event that Germany refuses to give such assurances Is not indicated in the note.
 The note further declares that in the view of the American government, the contention that the Isusitania was car ryine contraband of war or that these munitions were exploded by a torpedo, t4are irrelevant to the question of. le- gality Of the methods used by the German navy authorities in sinking the vessel
 eeIt is upon .tfise principle of human 1 ity,ss the note adds, fsas well as upon the law founded on this principle that
 the United States must stand The note informs Germany that it must have been misinformed when it
 assumed that the Luaitania carried guns but~thes opportunity is given to
 Germany to submit any evidence that American officials did not execute their tasks thoroughly in inspecting the Iu- sitania before sailing.

the present distressing conflict
 N''In the meantime, whatever arrangement may happily be made between the parties to the war, and whatever. may in the opinion of the Imperial German government have been the pro vocation or the cirGumstantial Justification for the past acts of its commanders at sea, the gov sernment of the United States confidently looks to see the jus tice and humanity of the govern ment of Germany vindicated in all cases where Americans have been wronged or their rights as neutrals invaded.
 '"The government of the United States therefore very earnestly and very Solemnly renews the re- presentations of it's note transmit ted to the Imperial German gov ernment on the 18th of May, and relies in these representations upon the principles of humanity, the universally recognized un- derstandings of international law, and the ancient friendship of the German nation.
 ''The government of the United States cannot admit that the proclamation of a war zone from which neutral ships have been warned to keep away may be made to operate as in any. degree an abbreviation of the rights either of American shipmasters or of American citizens bound on lawful erraIlds as passengers on merchant ships of belligerent na- tionaHty. It does not understand the Imperial German government to question those rights. It un- derstands it, also, to accept as established. beyond question the principle that the lives of non- cSmbatants cannot lawfully oF Eightfully be put in jeopardy by thee apture, or destruction of an unresisting merchantmen, and to recognize the obligation to take sufficient precaution to ascertain whether a. suspected merchant man is of fact of belligerent na- tionality or is of fact carrying contraband of war under a, neu- tra1 flag. The government of the United States deems it reasonable to expect that the Imperial Ger man government will adopt the measures necessary to put these principles into practice in re- spect of the safeguarding of American lives and American ships, and asks for assurances that this will be Hone.

 Washington, June 11----Wfeh the publication today of the latest Amer can note to Germany concerning the linking of the Lustanias officials of he United States government and di- plornatists generally discussed among themselves the probable character Of he German governments answer The feeling in some quarters was that a favorable response was likely as the noted seemed to open the door to a solution compatible alike with the i'm terests of both Germany and of the United States
 The note, 1t was said, was purpose Iy phrased so that it would give Ger many an opportunity to meet the wishes Of the United States with dignity and in conformity with Ger man public opinion
 Many officials wondered why Sec- retary Bryan declined to sign the note They claimed it's fEiendliness was the very measure that he suggested- persuasion-to accomplish the Amer ican purpose
