The Easiest Way
To End Dandruff

There is one sure way that never fails
to remove dandruff completely and that
is to dissolve it. This destroys it en-
trely. To do this, Just get about four
ounces of plain, ordinary liquid arvon;
apply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub it
III gently with the finger tips.
BY morning, most if not all, OF your
dandruff will be gone, and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace OF it, no matter how m,rl,
dandruH you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching and
digging Of the scalp will stop instantly,
and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel
hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. 1t is inexpensive, and four
ounces is all you will need. This simple
remedy has never been known to fail.

OUR DICTATORSHIP.

President Wilson today has more
power than any other man in the
world.
Not even Lloyd-George, head of the
British Empire and unofficial head Of
the group of entente governments
has so much authority. He may WELD
wider influence than our president.
AMI exert more direct control over
the military campaign; but he has
neither the presidents unquestioned
right of decision and action nor the
presidents sure tenure of Office.
Lloyd-George, like the French pre-
mier, may be swept out of power at
any time by a wave of public opposi-
zion. President Wilson is sure of his
position for four years. And during
all that time, if the war lasts so long,
he will be virtual dictator of the ma
ton.
Ordinarily there are ways of curb
ing the president. He is at least as
subject to control as Limited mon
arch But once war is declared. he
hacomes automatically commander in
chief Of all our armed forces, equip
ped with the full authority Of the ma
ton, and welding practically all gov
ornamental powers. He controls the
army and navy. His word Is abso-
lutte. He may consult army and navy
boards, but may ignore their advice.
He can make or unmake admirals and
generals, dictate. plans of campaign.
WELD armies and fleets at his pleas.
ure, The full burden Of. the war is
on hts shoulders.
One thing he cannot do appropri.
ate money to carry out his war plans.
Only congress can do that. But in
practice congress nearly always grants
whatever funds the president asks.
There can be no parsimony or parts 4
anship in war time. And the president
II he chooses can nearly always force
the hand Of congress by creating
situation compelling acquiesence.
Thus our government machine,
which ordinarily numbers along rath-
er ineffectively in war time becomes
admirably simple and efficient The
sort of government we would never
tolerate in normal times happens to
be the ideal form of government for
waging war For military purposes
there must be concentrated authority II
That we have II now is one Of the best
proofs of the wonderful foresight Of

ton
The power it gives one man Is tre
mendous. But no president has ever
abused it. Madison, Polk, Lincoln and

ii to our democratic Institutions There
Is no fear that President Wilson, WELD

LIVES VS.. DOLLARS

Editors have expounded patriotism
and denounced those who keep piling
up the war profits, but little impress
sion it makes on the guilty ones.
There is one way of overcoming this
monstrous reaping of excess profits
and it should be done. The govern,
ment has the right and used it un-
hesitatingly to conscript flesh and
blood, and young men are Offering
their lives for the cause-for $4,000
Il month. The government has the
same right to conscript wealth, and
yet it hesitates to put the burden Of
this war upon those who are able and
should stand it. England is con-
scripting wealth and France demands
that wealth pay the bills. No one
wishes, to see capital bankrupt. but
there is such a thing as justice. II
the young men are forced to give up
their lives, would it be unfair for
the millionaires to give up a few Of
their shekels?

WHEAT PRICE SENTIMENT

The 1920 wheat price set by the
government is being received with
favor among some, while it is safe
to state that majority are dissat-
isfied. And dissatisfaction in the
matter is not without foundation.
The northwest farmer since tho
beginning of the war. and previous,
for that matter, has abided with the
administration in every demand ask
cd by it. The last spring saw every
farmer of the northwest tilling every
available acre of soil, sowing it
with seed and placing himself in
debt to do So namely, of course, to
make money on his venture. and par
