Park employees have petitioned for
a slightly increased rate of pay, and

such consideration, hence the petition

In every precinct in the city, ana

of the precinct have been appointed
to circulate the petitions, and a copy
is left in a centrally located store,
so that those who do not sign one,
may sign the other. In this way,

SAVE YOUR HAIR
AND BEAUT|FY IT
WITH 'DANDER|NE'
Spend few cents! Dandruf dis
appears and hair stops
coming out.
Try this! Hair gets beautiful, wavy
and thick in few
moments.

If you care for heavy hair, that
glistens with beauty and is radiant
with life; has an incompatible soft
ness and is fluffy and lustrous, try
Danderine.
just one application doubles the
beauty of your hair, besiles it immedi-
ately dissolves every particle OF
dandruff; you cannot have nice, heavy
healthy hair if you have dandruff.
This destructive scurf robs the hair
of its lustre, its strength and its
very life, and if not overcome it pro-
duces a feverishness and itching of
the scalp; the hair roots famish,
loosen and die; then the hair falls out
fast.
If your hair has been neglected and
is thin, faded, dry, scraggy or too
oily, get small bittle of Knowlton's
Danderine at any drug store or toilet
counter for a few cents; apply little
as directed, and ten minutes after
you will say this was the best invest
ment you ever made.
We sincerely believe, regardless of
everything else advertised. that if you
descire soft, lustrous, beautiful hair
and lots of it-no dandruff-no itch
ing scalp and no more falling hair
you must use Knowlton's Dander-
line. If eventually-why not now

NEAR-REBELLION AT
THE P. H. S. QUELLED

Prof. Ross Rogers announced last
night that all high school students
will be allowed to see the circus pa
rade today and a threatened school
rebellion is amicably averted.
When it was stated yesterday
morning that there would be no in
terruption of studies because of the
coming of the circus the boys and
girls believed they were being dis
eliminated against and an inalienable
right denied them. With the other
schools of the county closed they
could not get the Viewpoint of the
teachers that "The Biggest Show on
Earth" with its mansroth parade is
too trivial and frivolous to justify
suspension of school for a day.
But the troubled waters were
smoothed late yesterday when Prof.
Rogers stated that a recess would be
given to permit the students to see
the parade and classes dismissed at
noon, or as soon thereafter as posi-
BILE, so that all will have time to
take lunch and attend the afternoon
performance.
The school board agreed that all
schools in the county might close to-
day and announcement to that effect
was made by Superintendent Ed
wards, but the high school teachers
objected and asked that the order be
rescinded in so far as it applied to
their classes, their request being
granted by the board.
