WHY FARMER WISHES
 IMPROVED ROADS

In the prosperous agricultural sec uons the average farmer is now d believer in road improvements. al- though fen years ago he was opposed to them. Tho change in opinion is Gouhtless duo in some measure to the growing conviction tEar a good road is useful in a business way. for hauling. but there iS new a much strongaI reason for the farrlers interest in highway bettermeuts. Take Iowa for instance. The latest registration fig ures show that there are f91.697 auto mobiles in that state or one for every thirteen inhabitants There is no large city in the state ard no center of great wealth. so the inevitable con ctusion is that the farmers of the state own most of these automobiles It was not so many years ago that these farmers opposed roadbuilding as pelng Of value only to a few rich owners Of motor cars. They are now In favor of such improvements. and il IS a fair inference that the absence Of good roads IS what convinced the agrj- cultural population of the valuc of real highways. The farmer is like any other man in wishing to get the most out of life he can. and the in

 The diamonds generally used for wheel grinding are of five classified tions, brown bortz. gray bortz, Jagers- Fontain, Ballas and black carbons. These five kinds may lie obtained in various sizes and qualities,

Dandruff Soon
Ruins The Hair

Girls-if you want plenty of thick,
beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all
means get rid of dandruff. for it will
starve your hair and ruin it if you
don't.
It doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dis
solve it, then you destroy it entirely.
To do this get about four ounces of
ordinary liquid arvon; apply 1t at
night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.
By morning, most if not all, your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every sin
gle sign and trace of it.
You will find, too. that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop, and
your hair will look and feel a hun
dred times better. You can get liquid
arvon at any drug store. 1t is mex
Iensive and four ounces is all you
will need, no matter how much dan
druff you have. This simple remedy
never fails.-Advertisem

NEW PHONE RECORDS
Kansas p. U. @. to Adopt Different
Accounting Classification System.

A new accounting classification for
use of telephone companies of Kansas
is to be promulgated by the Kansas
state public utilities commission. The
reasons for this action, according to a
statement issued to all telephone COM
panies operating in the state, is in
order "to secure uniformity in the re-
ports rendered to the commission by
telephone companies, and to make
such reports of greater value for COM
parative purposes"
THE interstate commerce commits
sion prescribes classification for class
A, B and G companies" adds the
statement, land it will be the purpose
of the commission to follow such
classifications for the same class of
companies in the state reports, with
perhaps some amplification. AS the
interstate commerce commission does
not prescribe an accounting classified
ton for class D companies, it will be
necessary to adopt some simple CLASH
fications that will furnish the neces-
sary data
THE commission desires that such
classification of accounts as it may
promulgate shall be satisfa Glory to the
companies operating within the state,
and that no undue burdens shall be
placed upon them by reason of I'M
necessary requirements in this direc-
ton, and in order to accomplish this
the commission requests that a repre-
sentative of each of the telephone
companies or as many as can make it
convenient to do so, meet with the
engineers and accountant of the COM
mission at its offices in the state
house at 10 o'clock a. m, September
%, for the purpt Sc of drafting a
tentative classification of accounts to
be submitted to the commission for its
