FARMER COMMITS
 SUICIDE AT DALLAS
". C. Parsons Worried Over Con- ditien of His First Crop, Hanged Himself in Barn-1he Coron-
 CTS Verdict.

Word reached Nena early Friday morning that W, [. Parsons. living on the John Muxen farm in the Dal- las valley, had committed suicide by hanging himself to a stringer in the loft of tHe barn on the Muxen farm. Mr. Parsons and family came to Polk county last spring from Ok lahoma. and rented the Muxen farm. Il seems that for several weeks he has been Respondent because of the crop outlook, and for some time had worried so much that he had hardly slept or eaten. Then too, this was ahe first time he had attempted to make a crop alone.
 He got up al the usual hour this morning. but instead Of building the fire as had been his custom, he went to look at his crops, and while he had been out for some time his fam fly did not suspect anything wrong. thinking that he was at work in the barn turning sheaf oats which had just been placed in the now the evening before. After an undue ab- sence, Mrs Parsons sent children to look for their father, and they found his body hanging from the girder ill the loft. Neighbors were at once called, and on the arrival of 4. L.. Durham and others it was hoped thai iife was not yet extinct, and that the man might be saved, so he was cut down, and while await ing the arrival of Dr. r. K. Watkins. first aid methods were used in the effort to restore life, but with no avail.
 In response to the word sent to Mena, Deputy Sheriffs J. II. Bratch- CT and J. A. Johnston, Dr. P R. Wat kins and Justice of the Peace s. H. Smith went Go Dallas. Dr. Watkins concluded after examination that Lhe mar had come to his death by strangulation. He had placed slip moose around his neck after having tied the other end of the rope around the girder. One theory is that he did this standing on ladder and then pushed the ladder aside that he might drop. Tn the absence of Coroner C. l.. Baker, Squire Smith empanneled jury and held an inquest. The jurors selected were T. G. Green, Hey Hudgins, R. NJ. Rouse, c. K. Gosney. Bud Wal lace, N. D. Roberts, w. D. Roe. F. B. Farnsworth. w. D. Durham, H. T. Milham. ]. w. Bowlin and A. L. Dur ham. The verdict of the jury was as follows We. the jurors appointed by & H. Smith, acting coroner. to view the dead body of W. c. Par sons, who was found dead in his barn. find that he came to his death at his own hands
 Mir Parsons is survived by his wife and four children, the youngest of the children being a babe about six months old Mrs. Parsons is a sister of l.. 0. Cooper of the Nunley neighborhood Funeral arrange ments were held in abeyance pend ing word from MT. Parsons father. who lives near McAlester, Ok.

GIRLS! GIRLS! TRY IT!
STOP DANDRUFF AND
BEAUrIFY YOUR HAIR
HAIR STOPS FALLING OUT AND
GETS THICK, WAVY, STRONG
AND BEAUTIFUL

Your hair becomes light, wayy, fluffy,
abundant and appears as soft, 1ustrous
and beautiful as yong girls after a
"Danderine hair cleanse" Just try
this-moisten a cloth with little Dan
derine and carefully draw it through
your hair, taking one small strand at
a time. This will cleanse the hair of
dust, dirt and excessive oil and in just
a few moments you have doubled the
beauty of your hair.
Besides beautifying the hair at once,
Danderine dissolves every particle of
dandruff; cleanses, purifies and invig-
crates the scalp, forever stopping itch
ing and falling hair.
But what will please you most will
be after a few weeks use when you
will actually see new hair-fne and
downy at first-yes-but really new
hair growing all over the scalp. If you
care for pretty, soft hair and lots Of it
surely get a 25-cent bottle of Knowl-
tons Danderine from any druggist or
toilet counter, and just try it.

Mr.. and Mrs. IS. Il. Wakefield have
received a letter from their son, who
says in part:
Ce. B 128th u. S. N. G.
Camp Macarthur, Texas.
October 2, 1917.
Dear Folks at Home:
Just a few lines to let you know that
I am O. K. We are drilling about
seven hours q day now, but no hikes,
and the drill is easy. A good deal of
it is school, when the officers read
articles of war. etc.
One year ago today we were in
LuxellO Tex, on our way to San An
tonic from Austin. The next day we
pulled into Camp Wilson, tired, dirty,
hungry and also very glad to get
home" as we called it then. The
fourth of October was Military Day in
San Antonio. I can remember those
hikes as though it were only yester-
day that they took place.
Last night about 1890 there was a
big fire in camp. One Of the baled
hay stacks caught fire and good
share of it destroyed. This fore
noon I was there on detail and they
had good bales scattered along the
road for a block. The stack was about
$50 feet long by Is feet wide and
about 20 feet high. There was an
other smaller one, too, guess from
the looks.
Well, how is the Wisconsin wealth
er now? We gre having it pretty
good now. Cool nights and not very
not days. Well. I guess I must close
for tonight. Take care of yourselves
and write soOa.
Your son and brother,
LAWRENCE.

Many Aeroplanes Seen at Camp
Mills

Mr.. and Mrs. J. E. Stekl have re.
ceived the following letter from their
son, Dr. Clausen Stekl, now a first lieu
tenant, who is at Camp Mills, Hem
stead, N. Y:
Dear Folks: Well, since the last
letter there hasn't been thing hap
pen to write about It's the same old
routine every day. We actually get
up in time for breakfast. We have two
strikers who bring our breakfast or
rather meals, make our beds, etc.
We generally roll out as they bring
it in the tent and then there is a
scramble for a few minutes to get
washed and dressed After breakfast
we haven't anything to do until 11:3O
when we eat Then we haven't any
thing to do until 4 80, when we mess
again. Then we don't have anything
to do until breakfast, so you see we
lead busy life.
There are five of us in the tent:
Cornwall,* Cole from Vermont, Mead
and Tooke from New York, and my
self Cole. is the father Of the crowd.
He is an older fellow having two boys
eighteen years old. Cornwall has been
sick for the last few days and you
ought to see Cole take care of him
has to see about his medicine and
everything, himself.
We haven't any idea of when we
are to move There are men going
all the time and new ones coming in.
One Of the officers said the Fourth
Field Hospital was to move within a
week, but Z don't know how SOON it
will be.
I guess | have everything now but
my wooden uniforms. Couldn't get
them from the quartermaster, SO will
wait till l get to France.
Gee! They just came down and
told me to call up the division sur
geon's office. / thought sure I was
to go to France
You ought to see the aeroplanes
around here. The other day | counted
ten in the air at one time. They go
away up, turn at sharp angle, shoot
down, etc. Their field is at Mineola,
near here.
Our mess is very good. This morn
ing we had fried oysters, fish and a
piece of ham, potatoes, toast, coffee
and oatmeal We have an excellent
cook. Everyone wants to come down
here to eat The oysters this morn
ing were rolled in egg and cracker
crumbs and were the finest [ ever ate.
Your loving son,
CLAUSEN.'
