Mexico for the present is without
street lights. The light and water
company of our city have furnished
street light and water the city used
for something over 100000 per
year. This expense is unreasonable
to meet. Municipal ownership of
the light, gas and water plants is
the next big question this town must
face. If the public ownership of
these utilities, rightly managed,
will meet all the expenses of the city,
as some claim, then let's have it.

Drawing Republican Aid,

Washington.-Closely guarded plans
of the senate administration democrats
for saving the ship bill developed as
leaving the boiling democrats out of
the reconing entirely and making the
bill agreeable to enough progressive
republicans to overcome the de1ec-
lions. The plan as fiEally agreed up
on was to move an amendment to the
motion to recommit, instructing the
commerce committee to return the bill
with amendments providing that the
government should not lease to private
corporations longer than IL months.

TAKES OFF DANDRUFF
HAIR STOPS FALLING
Girls! Try This! Makes Hair Thick,
Glossy, Fluffy, Beautiful-No
More Itching Scalp.

Within ten minutes after an appli-
cation of Danderine you cannot find
single trace of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after
few -1eeks' use, when you see new
hair, fine and downy at first-yes-but
really new hair-growing all over the
scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty of your hair. No diff
ference how dull, faded, brittle and
craggy, just moisten a cloth with
Danderine md carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time. The effect is amaz-
ing-your Lair will be light, fluffy and
wavy, and have an appearance of
abundance; an incompatible luster,
sOftness and luxuriance.
Get 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any store, and prove
that your hair is as pretty and soft
as any-that it has been neglected or
injured by careless treatment-that's
all-you surely can have beautiful hair
and lots of it IL you will just try lit
tie Danderine. Adv.

TALKS TO BUSINESS men
PRESIDENT WILSON,, SECRETARY
BRYAN, AND OTHERS SPEAK
TO BUSINESS MEN.
Cooperation Between Business and
the Government i'm Framing the
Laws For Benefit Of People.

shington.-Co-operat between
business and the Government in franz
ing laws for the benefit of all the peO
pie was urged by President Wilson in
an address before several hundred rep
resentative business men here attend
ing the annual convention of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States. He declared that 1--WE must
all pool our interests" to discover the
best means for handling public prob
lens.
The President urged the creation in
the United States in time of peace of
the same kind of united spirit which
moves Nations during wars. He
declared that when peace is as hand
some as war there will be no wars"
and that when men engage in the
pursuits of peace in the same spirit
of self-sacrifice as they engage in war
wars will disappear"
The President predicted that while
there is a shortage of food in the
world now, the shortage will be much
greater later. He pointed out that
under the guidance of the Department
of Agriculture efforts must be made
by American farmers to grow more
and more grain that the world may be
fed.
Speaking of the foreign trade of the
United States the President asked that
business men devise some way of al
lowing American exporters to COM
bine to form common selling agencies
and to give longtime credits in such
a way that these co-oper2.eve agen-
cies may be open to the use of all. He
declared that apparently the anti
trust laws prohibited such combina
tons now but that he would favor a
change, if method fair to all could
be found. He spoke of the Bureau
of Foreign and Domestic Commences
work in Surveying the world for
the benefit of all business men.
Business men themselves are to
blame if intelligent laws affecting
them are not framed, the President
asserted He added that they should
come out into the open and use their
knowledge of conditions tc bring about
laws to prevent business evils.
