Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy hair is mute evidence of a neglected scalp; of dandruff-that awful scurf.
 There is nothing so destructive to the hair as dandruff. It robs the hair of it's lustre, its strength and it's very life; eventually producing a feverish- ness and itching of the scalp, which if not remedied causes the hair roots to shrink, loosen and die-then the hair falls out fast. A little Danderine tonight-now-any time-will surely save your hair.

An enormous fertile area of land be tween the St. Francis and Little riv. CTS, east of Big Lake will be openel up by this drainage project. In recent months tremendous demands have been experienced for lands in North. east Arkansas, and such is the condi- tion that little doubt is felt that the drained lands will be cleared up and converted into profitable farms as fast as they become fit for cultivation.
 In addition to construction of more than 300 miles of canals and ditches, plans for the district contemplate util- ization of existing channels of Little River and Right Hand Chute, as far as possible. In order to do this to the best advantage, it will be necessary to divert part of the flow of Little River into Right Hand Chute and pth into the outlet channel of Drainage Dis triet No. g, of Mississippi county
 Drainage on a colossal scale is to bt undertaken in the Keystone Drainage District of Arkansas in which 280000 acres of land in Poinsett, Craighead and Mississippi counties is to be re- claimed.
 Plans for the system of 300 miles of canals, which will constitute the second largest drainage system in the United States, is being prepared by the Morgan Engineering Company of Memphis. They will be filed with the commissioners of the drainage district at Blytheville, Ark, within 30 days.
 Cost of the improvements likely will run into the millions.
 Located in extreme Northeast Ar kansas, the Keystone District is imme- diately south of the Little River Dis trict in Missouri, the largest drainage system in the United States. Though part of the water from the Little River District is carried into the Mississippi river, large portion of its water flows south into Arkansas through Little River.
 This very fact almost necessitated action on the part of residents of Mississippi, Craighead and Poinsett counties, as matter of self-protection from the water dumped on them by the Missouri district.

AN AMERICAN GERMAN.

Prussiansm junkersm and kultur are not attractive prospects to men who have been reared under these conditions as reminded by citizens of German Teutonsm on their native heath There are many men of German blood America who retain kindly interest in the land of their fathers yet who do not wish to see it's institutions which they renounced transplanted to America One of these is Prof Max F. Meyer psychol- ogis of who is protesting against the anti onscripon propaganda the socalled Peoples Peace Council"
 Prof Meyer was born in Germany, and was for twenty years teacher in German schools To the press he writes this letter:
 If Germany wins this fifty years hence its government will rule the American people do not want my American children to be put under the yoke which escaped by coming America My hope is that the German government will be overthrown and that the German nation my relatives and friends, will enter an international organization for peace and justice But the German government this fearful danger to our fu ture can only by raising armies not by sitting the council table of the Peoples Council Of America and working the repeal of the conscrip ton laws"
 Probably nine of every ten German immigrants to the United States here escape the ntolerable au:ocrac government Of the kaisers Though their in erest may still by ties of blood and tradition 10 the them brth still they cannot wish hat the institutions they abhor and have renounced should be transplaned the world It is this feel ing that is bringing the government the support of German born citizens in large numbers-Seattle Post Intelligencer

A REAL MAN.

Men are men of course: but we must admit that among men there is a vast difference Some men are men from the ground up while others are only half men and still others are only image of men.
 We hear tell of men in the states claiming exemption from serving their country. Others are indifferent and still others are overflowing with patriotism. The latter wish with all their might to take hand in the defense of their country: but sometimes nature gets in their way, as it has been brought to our notice.
 There is a young man here in ketchikan who is extremely anxious to serve the country. He has tried every which way to enlist in the regular army; but failed through no fault of his. He was reflected for physical disability. Now he is trying to join the Red Cross provided he can be of some service on the front. He says he can at least be streteher bearer. This young man may be said to be a mere boy in years yet he is a man from the ground up. In other words. his heart is in the right place.

GERMANY MAY NOW
SEE A REVOLUTION
Internal Troubles Now More Acute
Than Defeats of Big Armies
BY the Allies.

Startling news comes from the in
terror of Germany. Yelled though
the situation is in the mists Of a
rigid censorship and obscured by the
shackled conditions of the German
press, sufficient has leaked through
to indicate that the German empire is
facing a great economic and political
crisis.
The information printed is that
10000 striking munition workers have
engaged in bloody riot in the great
Prussian fortress town of Magdeburg
and were only prevented from burn
ing the city hall after sharp clash
with the military:
This story comes from the Dutch
frontier, with sufficient detail to make
it's claims to authenticity impressive.
On it's heels arrives the account of
demands made by the leaders of the
Berlin strike, demands of such rev.
dictionary character that compliance
with them would mean a prompt end
ing to the military regime in the Ger
man empire.

coming harvest, with large showing

ing to inability to make seaboard de-
liveries. The estimated stocks in this
state are placed at 100000 bushels.
Flour-Flour has shown big squirt
in demands for the past two weeks,
and mills have business in sight for
patents beyond their supplies, while
the market has been advanced, local
patents going to $11 jobbing, with the
undertone of firmness still a pro-
nounced feature. Shipping orders are
pretty well cleaned UP with the mills,
and operations are confined largely to
supplying local trade.
Feed-Prices are up all along the
line, in response to the advance in
wheat and the shortage of hay. Wheat
and corn lead in the upward move
ment, but both oats and barley have
and the undertone of the
market is strong.
