Retnin Gool Government.

One year ago the people OF Clarks-
burg by an overwhelming vote. which
paralyzed the opposition. elected G..
Harry Gordon mayor of the city of
Clarksburg. They will again elect him
mayor tomorrow.
The administration OF Mayor Cor
don is admitted by all. except a few
designing Democratic politicians, who
are hungry for power. TO he among
the best Clarksburg has ever had.
Mayor Gordon has given his entire at
tention 10 the administration of the
affairs Of his office, he has been Jealous
for the best welfare OF the city and
has devoted his time to establishing
and maintaining an orderly govern
ment with all its modern features at
the lowest possible cost to the taxpay-
ers. In every respect he has shown
beyond shadow Of doubt that the con
fidence OF the people given him at the
polls last year was not misplaced. The
people Of the city appreciate this fact.
They realize that his aims and pur-
poses are honest; they recognize the
fact that he has the best interests OF
the city at heart and that he fully
feels that he is the servant of the peo-
pie and as such he is impressed with
the duties required OF him.
Not to re-elect Mayor Gordon would
show that the people of Clarksburg do
not want faithful public servant and
are ungrateful to men IN public life
who do their duty honestly, faithfully
and efficiently.
1t is fitting that ticket should be
put before the people which fully
measures up to Its head. Mayor Cor

Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, be care
full what you use. Most soaps ano
prepared shampoos contain too much
alkali, which is very injurious, as il
dries the scalp and makes the hair
brittle. $50. ~
The best thing to use is just plair
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces
You can get this at any drug store
and few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with waite,
and rub it in, about teaspoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking,
bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to
handle. Besides it loosens and takes
out every particle of dust, dirt and
