The Easiest Way
To End Dandruff

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This des-
troys it entirely To do this, just get
about four ounces of plain. ordinary
liquid arvon; apply it at night when
retiring; use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub it in gently with the fin
ger tips.
By morning, most if not all, OF your
dandruff 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 dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop in
stantly, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive, and
four ounces is all you will need. This
simple remedy has never been known
to fail.-Advertisemcnt.

French Are Much
Interested in the
u. s, Elections

Paris. Nov. o-The American cleo
ton is being followed with the deep
est interest, the news having the
place of honor in most morning pa
pers. The commentators. mindful of
the dramatic surprise of yesterday
when the supposedly Hughes victory
was turned into possible defeat, are
reluctant to commit themselves.
The majority of the comment is
similar to that of Stephen Pichon in
the Petit Journal, who expresses the
belief that the victory of either can
didate will have little effect on Amer
lean policy as far as the big questions
interesting France are concerned. 1t
is also pointed out that the present
administration will remain in power
in any event until March 4, and that
many things may happen between
now and then.
The Matin remarks that while a
victory for Mr. Hughes might mean
a more vigorous international policy
it would also mean a protectionist
regime. The Matin comments that
this change, while unimportant in
time of war, might be awkward for
French business interests on the re-
turn of peace.

Teachers Debate
Much About Debate

A real debate developed in the ar
gumentation section of the state
teachers convention. Whether debat-
ing should be elective or incorpor-
ated in the regular high school Eng
lish course was the subject for dis
cussion, but neither Superintendent P.
M. Whitehead of Red Cloud or Su-
perintendent Gordon, who held op-
posing views, or Prof. Fogg of the
state university, who stepped into
the role Of peacemaker, held to the
y question.
Many side issues were discussed
by the schoolmasters. Prof. White
head maintained that brains are
found only in English classes. Some
one else contended he had uncovered
the best debating brains in geometry
classes.
Superintendent Gordon objected to
selecting only brains or~winning ma
terial on debating squads, not those
who need training the most, You
make god of winning" he said.
Consensus of opinion was to prepare
all girls and boys for debate.
Who should judge high school de-
bates was another much mooted
question. Students, faculty members
and outsiders were favored by vari-
Gus contestants.
Prof, Fogg advocated umpiring de-
bates along the lines OF what the state
schools were trying to teach. There
should be distinction between de-
bate and stump-speaking, defamation
or oratory. You should distinguish
argument from piffle.' Students were
poor judges, he said

Farm-Born Women
Are Best Teachers

Rural teachers should be born and
raised on the farm in order that they
should be familiar with rural con.
ditions and life" declared Pro.
lessor NJ. c. Heffler of Peru before
the rural school section of the State
Teachers convention at the Hotel
Fontenelle, Many city girls come to
the rural schools to teach who have
never been in the country before
They teach what they have learned
regardless of its application to rural
conditions"
That rural teachers are mostly be-
tween Is and 10 years old only and
that 90 per cent are women, were
interesting facts brought out by Pro-
lessor Heffler's paper. Young men
use rural teaching only as a stepping
stone to other professions" he said.
