GrOcers to Combine On Delivery.

The grocery merchants of the city
are planning to adopt unit sys-
tenn of delivery. Concentration is
the order of the day, and modern
business efficiency and economy de-
mands most progressive means, In
stead of half dozen separate sys
tens being maintained, one will
serve all. Along with that wall
doubtless be the adoption OF some
needed rules as to hours of delivery.
Nearly all towns now have regular
schedule of hours and sections for
delivery of goods, and people
accommodate themselves TO it with
benefit to all concerned. The deal
.er and the consumer are both
responsible for the higher cost 81
goods. Let the buyer bunch his
buying as much as possible, instead
/ of making several small orders day;
having team and DRYER making the
EXTRA ppNbef Of trips. A little
thought, bit of consideration fol
the other fell low would cut out a vas
amount Of work and worry that are
entirely unnecessary.

Central City Commercial Club.

.. =
Our nefghborlng progressive city,
Central City, recently organized a
Commercial Club, the membership
being large, embracing commercial,
legal, professional, progressive men,
all of them working for the interests
not only of themselves, but for each
other, and the whole county as well.
Reports from the members are very
rosy, and already much good has
been accomplished. An association
of interests and enthusiasm is the
only manner in which fhe active life
of community may be kept at the
proper height. The interest of any
one member of community is of
vast importance 10 every other per-
son. No one can suffer alone, and
good fortune Is likewise shared by
everybody. Association of people
brings this to the notice more vivid
ly. Without organization we are
prone to crlticise unjustly, and
knocking the other fellow as surely
reacts as the effort is put in motion.

W, 0. BeIcher Announces For County
Attorney.
He believes:

|
I. That the action of the Demo
cratic Fiscal Court in raising the
salaries of the County officials after
their election in 1912 should be con-
demned, and that all raises in salar-
les should be made at the regular
October term of the court proceed
ing the County election so that the
people could endorse or condemn
such action at the polls.
2. That the road fund should be
distributed among the different mag
isterlal districts of the County in
proposition to the amount of taxes
paid by such district.
3. That public office is public
trust, and that all persons travelling
on business for the County should
be required to file 1temized state
ment of expenses actually incurred
and should be paid that amount and
no more, instead of drawing emerg-
ency orders in lump sums far in ex-
cess of the amount actually used and
then failing to pay the balance back
into the County treasury.
d. That the voters should careful
ly examine and compare the official
records OF all candidates offering for
public office, if they have such rec
ords of all candidate who is best cal
culated from his official record, to
give the County an honest, economi-
cal administration of Its affairs.
(. That the Republican County
Committee should require each and
every candidate Offering for nomi-
nation ID the primary election to
sign a pledge that he will not use
money, whlskey, or any other thing
of value to secure his nomination,
that he will not hire men to ride in
the different precincts to get the
vote out, and that he will not use or
permit to be used for him any con-
veyance of any description on elect
ion day to get voters to the polls.
That this should be done In order
that the poor boy possessed Of merit
and qualifications shall have an even
chance with those who have money.
6 He points with pride to the
record of the last Republican admin
istration, of which he was a member
in its saving more than ten thousand
dollars per year and paying on the
court house debt besides paying the
running expenses of the county, and
| pledges himself if nominated, and
elected to use every means in his
power to bring about such saving
during the next four years.
j.. That what the County needs is
not prosecutor of criminals of such
marked ability but a defender of the
rights of the taxpayers before the
Fiscal Court so that leaks in the
County treasury may be stopped.

omy," his slogan uget the County

ALKALI IN SOAP
BAD FOR THE HAIR

Soap should be used very care
fully, II you want to keep your
hair looking it's best. Most soaps
and prepared shampoos contain
too much alkan. This dries the
scalp. makes the hair brittle, and
ruins It.
The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary mulsified cocoanut
oil (Which is pure and greaseless) f,
and is better than the most ex-
pensive soap or anything else you
can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thor
oughly. Simply moisten the hair
with water and rub it in. 1t
makes an abundance OF rich.
creamy lather, which rinses out
easily, removing every particle of
dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive
oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly. and 1t leaves the scalp
soft. and the hair fine and silky,
bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut
oil at any pharmacy. it's very
cheap, and few ounces will sup
ply every member of the family
for months. adv.
