about four ounces OF plain. 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 il not all. OF your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace OF 1t, no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You will find. too. that all itching
and digging OF the scalp will stop in
stantly, and your hair will be fluffy.
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any

ounces Is all you will need. This
simple remedy has never been known

THE ROOSEVELTS IN THE
NEWS. -...

We hope that the busybodics
who have roasted Colonel Roose-
welt for his very just criticism OF
the conduct of the war, will not
overlook a bit of news in today's
Muscular.
The colonel received yesterday
this cablegram from Major Theo-
dore Roosevelt, jr., to his father:
"Archie wounded by shrapnel
slightly in leg. Arm broken, but
not seriously. Ted" Captain
Archibald Roosevelt, wounded in
action with the American forces
in France, is one of Colonel
Roosevelt's four sons, all in the
service.
We do not know why Colonel
Roosevelt should not be interest
ed in the war or why he should
not express his views, which
have been of considerable value
in the progress of things for The
past twenty-five years or more,
Colonel Roosevelt having four
sons at the front may be said to
have a family interest in this af-
fair. OF considerable Importance
is The fact that he was president
Of the United States for seven
wears. He was also assistant
secretary of The navy, and was a
participant at the capture of San
Juan hill. If that record fails tC
qualify him as critic, then all
criticism should be barred, as
some of the people at Washington
would like TO have it.
Incidentally, we are glad &c
learn that Colonel Roosevelt il
convalescing from his recent i'll,
ness and will soon be back on the
firing line in this country, where
a great deal of important WORK
is to be done, if we are to enc

mans,

THURSDAY, MARCH "A, 1918.
WHEAT MUST WIN.

Ships, and more ships, wheat
and more wheat; these are the
great needs of the war at tins
stage. Man power we have, and
not many months will pass be-
fore it will be "over there" with
crushing weight. The shipping
problem is serious, but it will be
solved in time. The wheat prob
lem is both serious and imme-
date. The present supply OF
wheat is lower than ever before
in our history. This is because OF
the enormous demand of the
war. About ele-third of the food
supply of the soldiers consists of
wheat. We must have it to win.
We must feed the men that We
send over and our allies as well,
and the task is going to be ire
mendous.
Therefore, in this crisis, it be-
comes the solemn and patriotic
duty of the highest conceivable
importance to raise the greatest
wheat crop. That is up to our
farmers. The acreage must be
increased to the limit, and wheat
must be sown as never before, II
we are to work successfully
through the critical months OF
the war this year. If we do that,
The tide will be surely set IN our
favor, SO that the winning of the
war thenceforth will be matter
of time.
Our farmers should not be
tempted from a great wheat
acreage by the present high
prices of substitutes. These
prices will be much lower later,
il the market is flooded with large
crops, and what might now look
like good business venture
could easily go wrong. The price
of wheat is known; there can be
no losses because OF glutted
markets. Nothing but killing
weather conditions can bring
disaster.
The consumers Of this coun-
try are paying a million dollars a
day to use other foods and save
wheat, but wheat must be raised
at all costs, and this task falls TO
the farmers who most certainly
are as much interested in win
ming this war as any class. The
farmers Of Montana must stand
side by side with their boys in
the trenches in This fight. ,--

|frage is now an old story, and a
fixture in our lives that'no prop
uganda could change, stand in
wonder at the resistance that is
offered to this movement at a
rather late day. The east still
follows its habit Of watching
with amusement the things that
develop in the west and refuses
to be alarmed until a wave Of
progress dashcs suddenly at its
gates.
We recall the free silver move
ment. The east laughed at il I'M
til Mr.. Bryan, Mr.. Bland and
Governor Altgeld reached out
and, with comparative ease, took
the Chicago convention Of 1896 in
their hands, wrested the party
machinery from the east and
made free use of it. Free silver
was defeated, but the dying
Democratic party was restored
under the new leadership of Mr..
Bryan and under his inspiration
it again became dominant in the
government.
The story of prohibition is
quite The same and to lesser de-
gree, the direct primary and the
referendum, are instances where
the east awokc, only after the
trick had been turned.
1t is well, however, for the
suffragists to be alive TO the re-
sistancc to their cause, WITHOUT
being apprehensivc. 1t is highly
that the Susan b. An
