START CAMPAIGN SOON
Alma Plant of the Michigan Sugar
Company is Ready.

! The Alma plant of the Michigan
Sugar company will start its annual
campaign, probably about the middle
Of this month, provided that beets
come in rapidly enough. SO that the
company will be able to continue
through once the run is started.
If light rains should continue for
a time the factory may not open un-
Z til after the middle Of the month, as
such rains would greatly aid in the
development of the beets and the
farmers would be loath To pull THEN
beets if the weather conditions are
right Heavy rains ~ this time would
hurt the crop and would Also result
in later opening of the plan1 because
OF the conditions of the roads for
hauling beets, making it unable for
the company TO get beets as rapidly
as they were being used.
The beet crop this season H. report
ed as fair in some places and ligh1
IN others. due TO the lack of rains dur
ing the summer months when mois-
ture was most needed for a good heal

SOAP BEYOND REACH
 OF RUSSIAN POOR

Correspondence Associated Press.)
 Wilma, Russia, Oct. 23.-Becausr the price of soaps and such necessities for washing as starch, borax and the like, has increased beyond the reach of the poor people, it is proposed to establish in Wilma a number of "com- munal laundries" for patronage by those who cannot afford to pay dearly for cleanliness.
 Just how much the local inhabi- tants have been able to do for them- selves, thru the agency of 25 "Achies- CT societies" or institutions of broth erly help, is indicated by the six months report of the main organiza- tion, just issued.
 According to this report the 9 branch societies in all the portions of Wilma took in during the last half year just over $15,00O and expended a little more than $16,00C in helping a total of 50,000 persons.

NOT A PARTICLE OF DANDRUFf OR
 A FALLING HAIR
Save Your Hair! Double Its Beauty in Just Few
 Moments.
25-cent "Danderine" Makes Hair Thick, Glossy, Wavy and
 Beautiful.

Within ten minutes after an appli- cation of Danderine you can not find q single trace of dandruf or falling hair and your scalp will not itch, but what will please you most will be after a few weeks use, when you see new hair, fine and downy at first-ycs-- but really new hair-growing all over the scalp.
 Danderine is to the hair what fresh showers of rain and, sunshine are to vegetation. It goes right to the roots, invigorates and strengthens them. It's exhilarating, stimulating and life-pro- ducing properties cause the hair TO grow long, strong and beautiful.
 A little Danderine immediately doubles the beauty of your hair. No difference how dull, faded, brittle and scraggy, just moisten q cloth with Danderine and carefully draw it through your hair, taking one small strand at time. The effect is amaz- ing-your hair will be light, fluffy and wavy, and have an appearance of abundance; an incomparable lustre, softness and luNuriance.
 Get a 25-cent bottle of Knowlton's Danderine from any drug store or toil- ct counter, 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 if you will just try little Danderine. -Advt,

MAGNATES TABLE DEMANDS MADE BY .
 PLAYERS FRAT
Annual Meeting of Club Owners at New Orleans
 Considers Many Matters.

New Orleans, Nov. 15.-The Ma tional Association of Professional
 Baseball leagues, in session here to-
 day, voted unanimously to lay on the
 table indefinitely the demands made
 by the Baseball Players fraternity,
 and tonight considered proposed
 amendments to the constitution of the association.
 Among the amendments were propo-
 sitions to reduce the membership of
 the national board from nine to five,
 providing for representation for mil nor leagues on the national baseball commission, reclassification of leagues and matters involving the relations between the players and the clubs. Today's convention activities are in effect, rejection of the proposal of
 the Players fraternity, including de- mand for the payment of travelling expenses of minor league players to i the city where they were ordered to report, giving the players the right to sign new contract immediately after their unconditional release, and changes of procedure on the part of the national board in handling play ers' claims, so that the fraternity would have notice of the clubs con- tentions, and opportunity to reply thereto.
 Another proposal was for the elimi- nation of any clause in the contract allowing the clubs to suspend injured players, but in a letter to the conven- tion, Davil L. Fultz. president of the fraternity, explained that since the presentation of the petition, he had learned that the minor leagues had already eliminated such contracts and clauses as were the bases of complaint. Robert Allen, president of the Little Rock Southern league club, announced today that he had purchased Pitcher Kirkmeyer from the St. Louis Ameri- can league club.
