GIRLS! GIRLS! TRY IT!
STOP DANDRUFF AND
BEAUTIFY YOUR HAIR
Hair Stops Falling Out and Gets
Thick, Wavy, Strong and -
Beautiful.

Your hair becomes light, wavy,
fluffy, abundant and appears as soft,
lustrous and beautiful as a young
girls after ''Danderine hair
cleanse" Just try this-moisten a
cloth with a little Danderine and
carefully draw it through your hair,
taking one small strand at time
This will cleanse the hair of dust,
dirt and excessive oil and in just a
few moments you have doubled the
beauty of your hair.
Besides identifying the hair at
once, Danderine dissolves every par
ticle of dandruff; clanses, purifies
and invigorates the scalp, forever
stopping itching and falling hair.
But what will please you most
will be after a few weeks use when
you will actually see new hair-fine
and downy at first-yes-but really
new hair growing all over the scalp.
If you care for pretty, soft hair and
lots of it, surely get a small bottle
of Knowlton's Danderine from any
druggist or toilet counter for few
cents. (adv)

NEW METHOD OF POSTAL DIS
TRIBUTION IS STARTED.

Following an order which was
issued recently by Postmaster-Gen-
eral Burleson, and which was made
possible by an act of Congress last
March, the Paris postoffice, named as
a central station for Bourbon county,
has already begun distributing
stamps and other postal supplies to
the smaller stations of the county,
necessary to meet the demands of an
ever increasing public.
Instead of sending their requisi-
lions to the Postoffice Department at
Washington, the stations at Millers-
burg and other Bourbon county
towns now order directly from the
Paris office. This not only hastens
the delivery of stamps, postal cards.
envelopes, ETC., which are often badly
needed when the requisition is mail
ed, but promotes economy, inasmuch
as the work of auditing the accounts
of the thousands of stations in the
country, formerly done by force of
bookkeepers and clerks at Washing
ton, is now handled by the clerical
forces of the several central stations.
The order has been put into effect
to lessen the duties of the over
worked Washington Office in sending
out to stations additional supplies
that will be needed in the heavy
Christmas rush.

HARNESS THE STREAMS

Of the 60,700,O00 horsepower of
water power in the United States,
all but 100000 horsepower is run
ming to waste. The water is at pres
ent locked up against utilization by
the laws of governing the forest re-
serves, the general public domain
and the navigable streams. Con-
gressmen have not hesitated to ad-
vocate higher rates on mail matter
of the second class, but have not
found time to open up these water
powers so that print paper can be
made cheaper for the publishers. 1t
has been estimated by Secretary of
Agriculture Houston that there is
enough timber going to waste in the
forest reserves and on cut-Over lands
to supply wood pulp indefinitely, if
the question of it's manufacture by
water power could be solved. Three
bills now pending in Congress
Shields bill, the Walsh bill and the
Small bill-are designed to release
the water power to private develop
ment in the three fields mentioned.
Apparently, however, it is easier to
pass billion dollar appropriations,
issue bonds and impose direct taxes
on war profits" than to harness
the waters to useful purpose.

THE BLACK HILLS.

The Black Hills of the Dakotas are
in many ways our most beautiful bit
of scenery. Lacking the grandeur of
isolated loneliness which gives them
the charm of the place cut off and
secluded-the charm that belongs to
lonely islands and to the little towns
OF the northern wilderness. The Black
Hills are a mountain islet in sea
of plain. They have the streams, the
forests and the storms of the Rockies,
and in their Bad Lands they have the
tantasic, wind-cavern buttes and
mesas of the Painted Desert and the
Grand Canyon. Also, nowadays they
have auto roads.
The Black Hills have always been
something more than earthly noun
tains. The aura of savage supersti-
ton hangs round them still. There
is something rather unearthly even to
the most cynical civilized intellect in
the shimmering beauty of the can
yons, in the mad tangle of fantastic
ally carved cliffs and gullies of the
Bad Lands, in the sudden furious
mountain storms. The Black Hills
are the home of the Red Gods. One
great butte the Indians pointed out
as the platform whence their Great
Spirit spoke to his people-the Sinai
of the Dakotas.
The Indians were commanded to
keep away from the inner valleys OF
the Black Hills, and they followed the
mandate in all reverence. The hills
were never used in tribal war; the
deer and the bear that lived in their
businesses were safe from spear and
arrow More than that, when the
white men found gold in the Black
Hills and swarmed over the sacred
ground, the Indians fought and died
by hundreds to prevent the desecra-
ton
Nowadays the red men have out

GEORGIA LAND OWNERS
WILL MEET At Triton
TICK ERADICATION WILL BE DIS
CUSSED AND SEVERAL PROMIN.
ENT SPEAKEDS ARE ON THE
PROGRAM.

Triton, Ga, September 3.-The
Georgia Land owners association will
effect a permanent organization and
hold it's first meeting in this city on
September 18th, initiating what is per-
haps the largest and most important
development ever started in the state
I of Georgia.
Governor Hugh NJ. Dorsey and other
state officials, including ]. ]. Brown,
commissioner of agriculture; DR.. P. F.
Bahnsen, state veterinarian; j Phil
Campbell and other speakers from the
State College Of Agriculture, together
with many well known farmers and
cattle raisers have been invited
The discussions are expected to CEN
ter chiefly about the subject of state
wide tick eradication which the Geor,
I,gia Land Owners Association hopes
with state and federal aid to accom-
plish durin1 the next two CIR three
years. In this connection the Dtvis-
Townsend eradication law passed by
the last legislature will be explained
and steps will be taken through the
association to make the law effective in
the various counties still under quar-
antine, in the shortest possible time.
Triton was selected by President A.
X. SESSIONS of the Georgia Land Own
ers' Association and his associates for
/ the first meeting primarily because of
the large number of members in Tiff
county and because of the recent es-
ablishment of the packing plant in this
city; thus emphasizing the wish of the
association to encourage the establish
ment Of the best possible markets for
the meat products of the south Georgia
farmers.
The Georgia Land Owners associa-
ton now numbers about 1000 Of the
most progressive land owners and far
mers in forty of the counties of south
Georgia. The membership is rapidly
growing. The arrangements for the
meeting are in the hands of the Triton
Board of Trade.

PRISONERS ALSO
HAVE MILITARY AMBITION

ATLANTA, Ga, September 3.-Men
serving terms in the federal prison in
Atlanta have asked the government to
allow them to organize companies and
battalians and other military units for
the purpose of drilling in their spare
time, of which they are given several
hours a day
In some other large prisons in va,
rious parts of the country, notably the
New York state prison at Sing Sing,
the prisoners have formed military
units for daily drill, and are making
rapid progress. Desiring to let no
prisoners surpass them in patriotism,
the men of the federal prison here, who
are probably above the average of in
telligence, have worked out a complete
plan for organizing their units.
They propose to model their training
corps after the United States army or
ganization, and to have school for
non-commissioned officers, if the war
department approves. They hope the
government will issue them wooden
drilling rifles, Of which several million
have been ordered for the use of troops
in training camps.

GROUND CLASS FOUND
IN HIS FLOUR BARREL

WAYCROSS, Ga, September 81. D.
Mitchell, clerk of superior court and
member of the local exemption board,
found cupful of glass in flour at his
home yesterday. The examination was
made when Mrs Mitchell cut a finger,
while making biscuit How the glass
got into the -four is a mystery. A re-
port was made to the city pure food
inspector and similar brands Of -four
in the city are being examined, There
was ne chance for the flour to have
gotten glass in it accidentally,
Whether 1t was put into the houf in
an attempt on the lives of the Mitchell
family, or got into the flour at the
mill are questions that are unsettled.
Some of the -four was used before the
glass was discovered, but as yet it has
given the family no trouble.
The glass was finely ground, with
the exception of few pieces, one OF
which stuck in Mrs. Mitchell's hand.

LONG STAPLE COTTON
BRINGING BIC PRICE

VALDOSTA, Ga, september 3.-The
sea island cotton market closed Satur-
day with No. 1 cotton selling at 70|
cents a pound This is the highest
price on the local market in fifty years,
or the year after the civil war closed,
when sea island cotton went to 81
pound The receipts today were about
fifty bales. These figures are expect
ed to be rapidly increased from now
on, as the crop is opening rapidly and
will practically all be harvested within
thirty days. The boil weevil has done
enormous damage to the crop, destroy
ing in some sections, three-fourths of
il. and in the most favored sections
fully one-half. Good judges estimate
that not more than one-third of nor
nal crop will be made in this and ad-
Joining counties. There is a general
expectation, however, that the price
will go to dollar a pound, and if it
should do this early in the season, the
farmers will realize more from one
third of crop than they have in for
mer years from bumper crops. There
have been seasons in the past when
sea islands sold as low as Is cents for
the best grades. Short cotton has not
been damaged as seriously by the boil
weevl as has the sea island. The Wee
wills toll Of the former will probably
average one-third of the normal yield

IL there is one person above
another that the busy editor has
had cause to feel a grievance
against during the past winter it
is the man who gave names to
those two highly popular diseases,
mumps and measles, which
sound as tho they were plural.
AS a matter of fact, fully corrob-
Grated by Webster, measles or
mumps is no more plural than
is pneumonia or appendicitis.
The former two words, like the
latter two, are merely names for
diseases, and yet we hear such
er1dite persons as school teach
ers and even physicians persist
emily referring to measles as
them" and to humps in the
same way. Naturally, since this
is a common error, practically all
the contributors to newspapers
fall into the same mistake, and
il keeps the editor busy seeing
that bulls of this kind do not
get thru and doubtless about all
the reward he gets for his troub-
lie is the belief on the part of his
readers that the reason he uses
these terms in the singular is be-
cause he is so ignorant.
