some time past over affairs in Italy,

will come to the conclusion 1 have,
namely, that the Bon Optic method
opens the door for the cure of many

anyone of average intelligence. In

Want to Keep Your

Perpetually wavy, curly hair is now

This quickly dries in the most beauti-

do not affect the curliness as where a

Liquid silmerine is so pure and
harmless there is not the slightest
danger of spotting the scalp or
streaking the hair, and it leaves no
sticky or greasy trace. 1t will also be
appreciated as a beneficial dressing, as
il keeps the hair so soft, silky and

rains have greatly improved the grass
and grain conditions in this section.
The wheat crop now is promising and
the grass fields are looking much bet

paid for hay. however, has caused the
farmers to put forth a greater effort
to raise corn and potatoes and some
of the grass fields have been plowed.
There are many acres planted in both
corn and potatoes and Indications

DESPITE committee REPORT farm
LOAN BILL ISPUSHED ON IN HOUSE

In spite of a report by the majority
Of the finance committee contending
that the measure is contrary to the
Organic Act in that the proposed loan
of 100000 could not be back ed by
the credit of the territory, and there
fore would not revolve, the Farm
Loan Bill" passed second reading in
the house today, the vote being to
adopt the minority report presented
by Representatives Lyman and Ka.
waha. H.I -.
In part. the report of the minority
is as follows: -.
"The intent Of this act is to aid
the actual homesteader who is In
need of assistance so that he will be
able to get along in this world and
become an independent man in the
community in which he lives. We are
not only in duty bound to pass an
act of this nature, but in order to be
true to our principles and the party
platforms upon which We were elected
and the pledges made during the cam.
paign that we would make laws to
assist the people and the homestead
ers, we should pass this law or any
other similar law. Fs.. 49,: 4
This bill will not create any hard
ship upon the resources of the Terri
tory as the provisions for securing
the loan are well safeguarded by a
board that is given full authority to
look into all the applications for loans
before granting them, and no loans
wherein. there is the least doubt will
be allowed. There is no more oppor-
tune time than the present to make
a start, as is, shown by. the great
cash surplus which is now available
in the Territorial treasury. Reports
show that the estimated cash balance
on hand at the end of June 80, 1917,
above all expenses will be the vast
amount of $750,000;, and further 1t can
