W IOlllll O11O 4AO<AO "OO- there will be presented t every taxpayer in Holbrool a petition requesting tht board of supervisors to in corporate the town. We be lieve that a large majority o1 the taxpayers will sign the petition and we believe that they will act wisely in so do ing.
 There are many arguments in favor of incorporation and there are but few against it. Holbrook is growing rapidly and this growth can be ma terially assisted by incorpo- rating the town. Sidewalks and paved streets are need en; the streets should be lighted and sewer and water systems should be construct ed. None of these improve ments can be secured until the town is incorporated.
 Moreover the town is bad ly in need of fire and police protection. Without fire pro- tection the business section of the town may be destroy ed at any time should a fire get started. Under incor- poration adequate fire pro- lection could be provided.
 At present the sheriff's s of flee furnishes the only police protection, and while this is all right so far as it goes, it is not sufficient. To furn- ish the protection it does is outside the province of the sherif's office. This protec- ton is not one of the duties of the sherif's office but it is furnished simply for ac- comodation. The town needs a marshal and such officer can only be secured under incorporation.
 Practically the only ar gument against incorporat- ing the town is the one that to maintain a municipal gov ernment an increase in taxes will result. True there will be a slight increase taxes but the benefits to be secured by incorporating will be more than worth the cost. Not many good things in this world come to us free from cost, and it will cost some thing to live in an incorpora- ed town. But it will be worth it.
 The tallow candle used by our forefathers to light their houses is less expensive than the coal oil and gaso- line lamp and the electric light, but how many of US would think of discarding the modern methods of light Ing ana gong Dack to the tallows candle?
 Holbrook is becoming rap idly a city of homes. Itis already a good place to live and under incorporation it will be a better place. With lighted and paved streets, water and sewer systems, and adequate fire and police protection, it will be a much better place in which to live. All these advantages, and more, may be secured by in cooperating the town.

With the Fingers!
Says Corns Lift Out
Without Any Pain

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by Cincinnati authority
to use a drug called freezone, which
the moment few drops are applied
to any corn or callus the soreness is
relieved and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all, lifts off with the
fingers.
Freezone dries the moment it is ap-
piled, and simply shrivels the corn or
callus without inflaming or even irri-
tating the surrounding tissue or skin.
A small bottle of freezone will cost
very little at any of the drug stores,
but will positively rid ones feet of
every hard or soft corn or hardened
callus. If your druggist hasn't any
freezone he can get it at any whole
sale drug house for you.

Petrograd.-Warm appreciation of
the cordial feeling shown by the peo-
pie and government of the United
States toward the new regime in Rus
STA was expressed by Foreign Secre-
tary Milukof as follows:
''The old regime was heavy drag
not only on Russias relations with her
allies, but on all foreign relations" he
said.
Thousands of kilograms of congrat
ulations and good wishes are coming
from the United States not to speak
of the formal recognition of the pro-
visional government by the Washington
government. This has served to show
that it is only the old regime which
has been standing for long time in
the way of entire solidarity between
the United States and Russia.

stops itching scalp.

Thin, brittle, colorless. and scraggy
hair is mute evidence of neglected
scalp; of dandruff- awful scurf.
There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. It robs the hair
of it's lustre, it's strength and is very
life; eventually producing feverish-
ness and itching of scalp, which if
not remedied causes the hair roots to
shrink, loosen and die-then the hair
falls out fast A little Danderine to-
night-now-any time-will surely
save your hair.
Get a Is cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store. You
surely can have beautiful hair and lots
of it if you will just try little Dander-
inc. Save your hair! Try it!
