New London, Gonna contract for
1000 shark hooks, 800 to be completed
in ten days and 700 in twenty days af-

There are to be three varieties of
hook, eleven, ten and nine inches In
length. A chain and swivel are to be
attached to each hook.
1t is reported from a Washington

about to prospect in a new leather
field, that of shark skins. In a Sc

there is no reason why an industry
may not be profitably started.

YOUR WAR TAXES.

Don't forget your war taxes
is the word. But never fear-yol
won't be able to forget them.
They face you which ever way you
turn.
You mail letter, and on goes
the one-cent war stamp. You go
to q movie show and pay an ex-
ira cent for Your child and two
or three for yourself. You buy
. first-class theater ticket and
have to dig up 20 cents for war
expenses. You take a railway
Journey and find an extra charge
OF 5 per cent for your ticket and
10. per cent for your berth. You
fafe ont a life insurance policy,
and buy stamps to stick ON it.
You find war tax on your
freight bills, on your express
pnckages, on your long distance
hone calls. on your kilograms,
on -FOUR club dues. on Your caba-
fet dinners and on various other
necessaries and Injuries.
It's troublesome, and in the
course of year it may run into
erable money. With many
q tfzens, too. it means an addition
TO war taxes already onerous lev
led on business profits and per-
sonal incomes. But bear it cheer
fully
The cent. the nickel, the dime,
the whole aggregation of war
taxes. little and big, assessed on
any individual, is trivial in COM
parison with what the fighting
men will pay. And it goes to buy
their fighting tools. to make their
hard and dangerous job little
easier. to help win the victory
for what we all believe in and
what we all believe in and what
we want far more than money

NEW SCHOOL LAWS.

Thos. H. Harris, State Superin-
tendent Of Public Education has
proposed several radical changes
in existing school laws and in
vites their discussion by the press
Of the State.
One Of these is that the parish
school board shall be given an
thority to levy the taxes needed
for maintenance of schools with
out authorization by vote of the
people.
To this proposition there will
be. we incline to believe, general
dissent. The st. Francisville
True Democrat says:
This proposes to do away with
the present three mills appor-
tionment Of parish taxes and
plans to substitute special bud
get made by the local boards with
power to levy taxes for same
without authorization by vote OF
the people. This is a radical
change and calculated to provide
friction in plenty between the
school boards and the present
governing bodies, the police Jur-
les. It would practically set up
two governing bodies within the
parish with separate and distinct
aims and ideals. each having pow
er to levy taxes. The present pa
rochial limit of taxation is ten
mills, including three mills for
the schools. All Of us who are
eager for educational advance
ment will not say that this limit
near the schools is sufficient, but On
fhe other hand, with an eye to the
public's ability to meet taxation,
we are not willing to leave to am
bilious schoolmen the blue sky
as a limit to their budget and con-
sequent taxation.
Nor does the provision that tn"
State Board Of Education shall
pass upon these budgets give any
pleasurable assurance. The vital
interest in taxation will be seen
to decrease as the square OF the
distance increases or something
like that.

TAKES OFF DANDRUFF,
HAIR STOPS FALLING.
Save your Hair! Get small bottle
of Canderine right now-Also
stops itching scalp.

Thin, brittle, oolorless and scraggy
hair rs mute evidence of a neglected
scalp; of dandruf-that awful scurf.
There is nothing SO destructive to
the hair as dandruff 1t robs the hair
of its lustre, its strength and its very
lie; eventually producing a feverish-
ness and itching of tie scalp, which if
not remedied causes the hair roots to
shrink loosen and die-then the hair
falls out fast. A little Danderine to-
nlght-now-any time-will surely save
your hair.
Get small 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 Dan
derine. Save your hair! Try it!

SENATOR BAkKHEAD

head of Alabama startled his
colleagues by stalking into the

hickory stick six feet long. The

it, it would make a most appro-

the gentleman from Alabama,
quick to reject the hint. "This

\ LOS ANGELES. Sept. 19.-A crowd of soldiers. vhriously estimated at from 200. to 400 wrecked the head quarters of the Industrial Workers of the World here late today. Typewrit- CTS and furnitures were broken, win dows smashed and movables demolish- ed. There were no reported casual ties and no arrests.
 March To Offices.
 The soldiers marched to the head quarters. At a shouted command they halted and remained in line while three or four of their number stepped inside and told Phillip Mclaughlin. secretary of the local. and two or three loungers that they were going to wreck the place"
 Method In Action.
 The soldiers then entered and meth odically destroyed every piece of fur niture, paper or bit of equipment in the room. and withdrew in an orderly manner.
 At a late hour tonight no one had appeared at police headquarters to make complaint and no warrants had been issued for any of the raiders. The men were said to be from three artil- lery companies and hospital corps stationed near here.

GUNS IN TYRES SECTOR ARE
 SELLING GERMANS
Allied Artillery Very Active But Infantry Movements Are Negligible. Italians and Romanians are Fighting.

Bombardment by the British artil- lery of the German lines in the Ypres sector in Flanders continued most in tense but there has been no infantry movement in force. An attack on q larger scale than the usual daily raids probably is imminent.
 Berlin Exercised.
 Berlin apparently is much exercis- ed over the ever-increasing volume of shells from the British big guns. From the Houlthost Wood, northeast of Ypres to the river Lys. on the Belgo- French border, Berlin reports the British fire has been destructive. Field Marshal Haig's artillery increas- ed its volume of shots to drum fire several times. At several points from the Aisne valley to Lorraine the French have made raids into the Ger man defenses. Here. too, the expend- iture of ammunition is great, especial ly on the Aisne front and northeast of Verdun.
 Italians More Active.
 The Italians have been more active on the Trentino front. harassing the enemy with raids and strong artillery fire. In a forward movement near Carzano, in the Sugana valley, east of Trent, the Italians captured 200 prisoners. Austro-Hunsarian attacks on the Bainsizza plateau continue but Genebal Cadorna's men have helkS them for no gains.
 Rumanians on Offensive.
 The Rumanians continue their of fensive in the mountain region north west of Fokshani, Moldavia. Attack ing the Austro-German defense south of Grozechti. near Ocna. the Ruman- ians captured height. Berlin reports that the Rumanians. at first success ful. were driven from the positions. suffering casualties an closing pris- oners.

Bv Review Leased Wire !


 LONDON; Sept. 19.-British mer- chant ships of 1900 tons and over sunk by mine or submarine during the past week numbered eight according to the admiralty report tonight Twen- ty ships under 1900 tons were also sunk and one fishing vessel.
 The summary:
 Arrivals, 2695; sailings, 2737.
 British merchant ships over 1900 sunk, eight; under 1900 tons, includ- ing nine previously, twenty.
 British merchant vessels unsuccess- fully attacked, six.
 Fishing vessels sunk, one.
 The foregoing number Of vessels or more thar 1900 tons is the smallest sunk by mines or submarines in one week since Germany began her in- tensified submarine campaign last February, but the number under 16Gc tons is the largest for any week, but one, since mid-February. The total number of ships sunk is the largest since the week ending June 24.
 The admiralty statement for the week ending September g showed 12 British ships over more than 1900 tons sunk by mines or submarines. That was the lowest mark since the week ending March 10, when 13 yes sels of that category were lost. The greatest number of vessels under 1900 tons was in the week ending May 5, when 22 went down.
