United States Gets Islands.

Denmark's official action with re- gard to the Danish West Indies as- sures American control over the islands. Such a consummation is wholly desirable at this time.
 Economically it is obvious the Dan ish West Indies are of negligible value. The population, mostly black, de- creased from 43OOO in 1885 to 2S,0OO In 1915. The exports from the United States to the islands amounted to only SS9O966 in 1914 and our imports from The islands totaled less than $30,0OO for that year. The soil and climate are, moreover, not such as to promise Important development.
 But from the standpoint of defend ing the Panama canal and of uphold ing the Monroe doctrine in the Carib- bean region the port of St. Thomas Is of first-rate importance. On the other hand, the colonies have had only l sentimental value to Denmark. h. deed, the Danish control has been so unimportant that the islands are said to have been principally a possession of the Hamburg-American Steamship company. It is we'll that the negotia- tons for their purchase are being car ried through to a conclusion with all reasonable celerity.

TAKES OFF DANDRUFF
 HAIR STOPS FALLING
Girls! Try This! Makes Hair Thick, Glossy, Fluffy, BeautifuI-No
 More Itching Scalp.

Within ten minutes after an appn- cation of Danderine you cannot find a single trace of dandruff or falling hair and your scalp will not itch, but what will please you most will be after a few weeks use, when you see new hair, fine and downy at first-yes- really new growing all over the scalp.
 A little Danderine immediately dou- bles the beauty of your hair. No diff ference how dull, faded, brittle and scraggy, just moisten a cloth with Danderine and carefully draw 1t through your hair, taking one small strand at time. The effect is amaz- ing-your hair will be light, fluffy and wavy, and have an appearance of abundance; an incomparable luster, softneSS and luxuriance.
 Get 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's Dandertne from any store, and prove that your hair Is as pretty and soft as any-that it has been neglected or injured by careless treatment-that's all-you surely can have beautiful hair and lots of it if you will just try lit tie Danderine. Adv.

ONE GIRL HE COULDN'T FOOL
And "Turn Down" Made Reporter Fec He Had Lost the Confidence of
 the Others Also.

She was one of those twentieth cen tury young women who knows how she gets what she has, and who keeps 6 sharp eye out for laggards, especially of the opposite sex.
 A newspaper reporter, on his daily round in search of the small news o1 the county seat town, entered the de partment store where she had begun work that morning. She watched him enter several notes in a scratch pad as a number of the girls gathered around and spoke in rather excited tones. When he had finished he made his way toward her, and by way oi introduction said in his most pleasant manner:
 DO you have any news for the pa. per?"
 "Not muchl" she answered, after casting a whitening look at the inquir' CT. "There's nothing doing. You fel. lows on the newspapers go around to the stores every day and have the girls give you items, and then you go bach to the office and write them up and get paid for 1t. But you can't work me-"
 And he wondered how 1t happened every girl on the floor was looking al him when he turned around for an avenue of escape.-Indianapo News

Not a Bit of 1t.

Judge Gary is against the income tax because he thinks it will create classes in America. If the thousand dollar man pays the same tax rate as Judge Gary he will belong to the same class as Judge Gary and go there to dinner. But if he pays a lower rate he won't.
 Judge Gary is also against the in- come tax because it will cripple, if not wholly deaden, initiative. The ten thousand dollar man will no longer attempt to double his income because the government would take part of the Increase away.

 The hat at the center of the group has noticeable crown, wider at the top and bottom than at the center. In passing, 1t is worth mentioning that crowns tend to height.

ALONG RIGHT LINES
AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT's
 DEVELOPMENT OF INDUSTRY.
Manufacturing Laboratory Established to Experiment In the Production of Potash-Better Plan Than
 Imposition of Tariff.

The department of agriculture Is drawing plans for what might be called manufacturing laboratory de- voted to the development of the pot ash industry. Eight large plants un- der private ownership are now extract ing potash from kelp on the coast of southern California, and making fine profits. But they are running on war basis, paying little attention to economy of manufacture and none at all to by-products. Their sole concern is to make as much money as possible while potassium salts are selling at the present exorbitant figures. When the war ends and German mines begin shipping their product again, these particular war brides" will starve to death-unless they can wheedle their indulgent relative, Uncle Sam, into making them an allowance in the form of tariff.
 It is a typically American method of sight of the department of agriculture. That is unusual. A century of pioneer ing has given us as a nation a dis taste for minute, detailed inveStiga- tion; and our organizing ability, plus the vicious tariff policy of nearly fifty years, have hardened this distaste into downright aversion. We have just as good scientific brains in this country as any in Europe; but in the broad policy of making science a leader and guide to industry, we are now begin. nerS.

The appointment of Prof. F. w. Taussig to the tariff board is one of the most notable achievements of the administration. It gives immediate as- surance of the character of work this body is to do, assurance that nothing will be sought but the facts which should be the basis for all tariff mak- ing.

but there are a multitude of little things that later must be added or repaired in order that the road may be in good condition. Ruts and chuck holes are sure to form and these must be filled or the road soon goes to pieces. These things should be planned for and done quickly if the improved road is to do the fullest service, and this is the one thing that it seems to me some of our county commissioners are neglecting. They become so imbued with the idea of building good roads that they fail to prepare for the maintenance of roads already constructed.
