DRAINAGE DITCH
 TO BE FINISHED
James L. Smith, Commissioner of Big Gum, Says Efforts Will Be
 Made to Complete Project.

James l.. Smith, a prominent cit izen and substantial property owner of Knobel, spent Monday in Para gould looking after business inter ests. MT. Smith is one of the com missioners appointed last year to look after the affairs of Big Gum drainage district, which was formed for the purpose of bringing into a higher state of development about 25, 900 acres of land in the west7 ern district of Clay county and eight or ten thousand in Greene county. On account of the fact that some acreage belonging to the Great Western Land Co. was em- braced in the district, which land by a former act of the legislature had been excluded from any future ditch tax, it was found that the dis trict was illegally formed, and after the assessment list had been pub lished the court held the proceedings invalid. An act, however, was pass ed by the last legislature at the instance of MT. Brawner. validating the proceedings. MT. Smith stated Monday that efforts would now be made to proceed with the work as Originally outlined R. Whitaker and Joe Sellmeyer, two of the best known citizens of Clay county and among the most enterprising. are the other two commissioners.

ently worried and stated that Sen ator Harris had demanded a place on the commission, under threat to hold up appointments made by the governor, which were pending confirmation in the senate. The ap- pointment of Reuben G. Dye as tax commissioner was the one he was worried about. stated the wit ness. MT. Bedding stated that the action of Senator Harris was not an indication of friendliness to the gov ernor.
 MT. Bedding stated that the gov error asked them to come back at 1 in the afternoon, by which time the appointments would be settled and he would sign the bill and make the appointments. In the aft ernoOn MT. Bedding stated the gov ernor asked all to go outside except Thai Bradsher and Judge Rolfe, aft CT declaring that he would rather cut off his arm than sign the bill. He told of bringing H. s. Mobley, president of the Farmers Union, into the room, and have him talk to the governor about the bill and how it would benefit the farmer. He stated that the governor then signed the bill and received the con gratulations of all and no one doubted that he had approved the measure.
 "The situation was a tragic one, as had been the whole days pro- ceedings," stated the witness, "and when we saw the bill signed I did just as Capt. Rice testified I did this morning. broke down and cried from pure joy and others did the same"
 The witness told of the bill go- ing out of the office and a short time after being brought back, with a denial that it had been signed. He told of visiting Gov. Hays in com pany with Speaker Sawyer, after Gov. Hays had gone home. but they were given no assurances, and short time later he learned of the veto.
 Here the attorneys who are re- questing the mandamus rested and Gov. Hays asked to be placed on the stand in rebuttal. He declared that it was a matter of veracity, and the court would have to so con- slider it. He asserted that when Senator Harris called him out and requested to know what he intend ed doing with the racing bill, he informed him that it would be ve- toed, which settled the matter so far as Senator Harris was concern ed and he made no further demands. He denied that he had taken an in terest in the bill, or that he had spoken to anyone in it's favor. and that those interested in the primary bill went to his house to talk over amendments, at which time he did remark that if the Ruff bill failed to pass the next day, and the cleo tion bill was not defeated, there would be no racing act. He declar- ed his only act that might be term l ed frienly to the bill was to discov- CT for Judge Rolfe the attitude of | Senator Harris on the measure. Gov. Hays declared that the ap- pointment of R. G. Dye had been confirmed on Saturday, and in de- nying the statement of G. R. Beld- ing, testified that he did tell him on Saturday he had almost worked himself up to the point of signing the bill, but would not give a final answer before Monday.
 The argument in the case then
 went over until Thursday morning

FASINATING PLAN HAS INCEPTION IN
 FOREST LAND USE
Secretary of Agriculture Promul- gates Regulations Winch Per Nit Usage of Forest Reserves for Home Sites.

WASHINGTON.-The secretary of agriculture has promulgated set Of regulations for administering the new law which provides that national forest land may be leased for summer home sites and other recreational pur- poses in tracts of five acres or less for periods not to exceed thirty years. This law supplements the revokable permit system under which recreation al use of the forests already has de- veloped considerably. Many users have been unwilling to make substan. tial improvements because of the un- certainty Of tenure involved in the old form of permit. which. however. is still expected to meet the require ments of persons who are not likely to occupy the land for more than a few years, or 10 make elaborate i'm. provements.
 The primary object of the term permits,r as the leases are called. is not to obtain revenue but to promote the use of national forest land for recreational purposes, say the special benefits, it is regarded as only fair that they should reimburse the gov ernments for the expenditure incur red in administering the forests. The rates range from 80 a year up, in ac- cordanca with the location Of the land, the demand for it. and the use to which it will be put The district foresters are authorized to grant per. mits Co applicants who intend to mako improvements costing less than s1.OOO and to use the land for a period of not longer than fifteen years. All other permits will be approved by the forester at Washington.
 Applications must be filled with the supervisor Of the forest affected, des- ignating the location of the land de- sired, the use to be made of it. and the approximate cost of contemplated i'm provements Examination and survey of the land will be made by the forest service free of charge An applica- ton for a hotel or summer resort site must be accompanied by plans and specifications of proposed struc- lures and a statement as to their probable cost. The law stipulates five acres as the maximum. and it is be- lieved that mHqh less than this suf- fees for most persons but permittees will not be placed close together ex- cept when it is necessitated by heavy

USING SOAP

Soap should be used very sparing- ly, if at all, if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it.
 The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsihed cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless), is cheaper and better than soap or any thing else you can use.
