 HAIR OF DANDRUFF
The Easiest and Best Way Is to
 Dissolve It.

The only sure way to get rid of dand- ruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moiston the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips
 Do this tonight, and by morning most, fl not an, of your dandruif will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruf you may have
 You win find, too. that an itching and digging of the scalp will stop at once, and your hair will be fluffy. lustrous. glossy silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better
 lf you want tO preserve your hair, do by an means get rid of dandruff, for nothing destroys the hair more quickly lt not only starves the hair and makes it fan out but it makes it stringy, straggly, dull. dry, brittle and hfcIess, and eycry- one notices il sAou can get liquid arvon at any drug store. ll Is Inexpensive and ueyer fails t0 do the work

Hops and Fruit Injured.

The recent hail and wind storms,
combined with several nights of frost,
have caused considerable damage to
fruit and hops in this locality, but
not as much as had first been feared
Prunes and early berries in exposed
orchards were badly hit but those
more favorably located are unhurt
Hops that had been trained in many
yards will have to be cut down. This
ill not necessitate total loss, but only
loss of the labor already expended in
training and a couple of weeks delay
in ripening, as the plants will send
up new shoots from the roots, which
were unhurt.

FAVOR FULL HALF MILE TRACK
Fa1r Board May Put Proposition Up
to City Council Soon.

Believing that a three eighths of a
mile race course would be unsatisfac-
tory to horsemen, the county fair
board at its meeting on Wednesday
decided to take the matter up with the
council with view to exchanging the
land purchased by the city last year
for fair purposes for a tract more
suited to the constructions of a track.
but just how the matter may be work.
ed out remains to be seen. Members
OF the board visited the fair grounds,
and afterwards the Millerhurst tract.
arriving at the conclusion that the lat
ter would more satisfactorily fill the
Dill, 1t requiring comparatively little
grading in building a course. while
some extensive excavations would be
necessary at the present site. When
Engineer Taylor prepared plans for
the proposed course, he found it i'm
practicable to construct a half-mile
speedway on the fair grounds, but
recommended that the course be made
three-eighths of a mile, estimating the
cost at approximately $1,1OO The
board feels that if so large sum
must be expended in excavations and
ILLS, it would be better to trade the
tract for one more suited to the pur-
pose, and the question will be taken up ,
With the council at an early date.
Outside of considering this matter
he board transacted but little busi-
less other than of the routine or
Ter. Plans for the fall exhibit were Y
discussed and it was reported that =
rom present indications the outlook /,
Or the fair is bright.

in A DEBATE
COUNTY UNIT PLAN DISCUSSED
| BY PRINCIPALS CLUB, $
NO Decision Rendered, the Object Be-
ing Presentation of Both Sides OF
Important Question. "'

The Polk County Principals .c1ul
held its regular monthly meeting las
Saturday. Because of the May day ex
erclses there the meeting was held al
Monmouth instead of at Dallas, the
customary place of meeting. The ban.
quet and business session were held a,
the Monmouth hotel and the public
meeting in the Normal school chapel
The feature of the evening was a
debate on the question, Resolved
that the county unit plan of ad-
ministration and control of rural
schools would be substituted for the
present district plan." The affirmative
side was supported by Professors Pit
man and Evenden, of the Normal
school faculty, and the negative side
by Professor Gentle and President
Ackerman, of the same school. 1t was
understood that no decision was to be
rendered, the purpose of the debate
belng merely to present the advantag-
es or disadvantages of the proposed
system.
Numerous advantages were claimed
for the county unit plan, the affirma-
tive asserting that the present system
is not in keeping with the spirit of
the times; that the county unit plan
would provide for equalization of tax
es in all districts, and that 1t would
require public service corporations to
assist in supporting all the schools of
he county; that less money would be
that it would promote the
of districts; that it
would permit experts to direct the
work of experts; that it would make
'asier the placing of the right teacher
the right place, and would system
ltize the selection of teachers; that
would permit better classifica-
ion of teachers; and that it would
lace a premium on the professional
rowth of teachers.
The negative contended that the af-
rmative had made numerous claims
Or the county unit plan without show
1g how it would secure the results
laimed. They admitted, for the sake
argument, weaknesses in the pres- ,
Mt district plan, but maintained that .,
lese could be corrected under the
resent plan. They also contended
lat the proposed system would never

it is too undemocratic in principle .
