for tho whole world rejolceth
In the blessing TO share.

In justice 10 all,

But, like Christ on the Cross,
Their dear blood has been shed
That others might livei
They answered the call
All their thought was for victory
With Freedom. Freedom for all
Hallowed be the ground
Where their dear forms must lie,
But their names, like the flowers,
VIII not perish or die.
we VIII cherish their memry
Their brave deeds recall
n these dear boys who fought for
Freedom, Freedom for all

HOW TO ACQUIRE HAIR BEAUTY

You can enjoy a delightful shampoo
with very little effort and for a very
trifllns cost, II you get from your drug
gist's a package Of Canthrox and dis
solve a teaspoonful in cup Of hot
water. This makes a full cup OF sham
POO liquid, enough so II Is easy to apply
It TO all the hdir instead OF just the top
OF the head Your shampoo Is now
ready. Just pour little at time on
the scalp and hair until both are en-
tirely covered by the daintily perfumed
preparation that thoroughly dlssolves
and removes every bit Of dandruf, ex-
cess oil and dirt. After rinslng the hair
dries quickly with a 1ufflness that
makes II seem heavier than 1t is, and
takes on rich luster and a softness
that makes arranging It pleasure.

EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS

Mr. Mccullough, of Gainesville, Texas,
writes; Gas you know we have had our agency
for Piedmont cars less than month, we have
sold nineteen Pedmonts, and have at the pres
ent time orders at the factory for fifteen more.
We know where we can actually place the cars
as fast as received.
1--WE attribute the ready sale of the Piedmont
to the cooperative plan Of distributing the stock
locally, as we find that every stakeholder is an
Al booster
Mr.. Workman, of Louisiana, writes: II visited
the plant Of the Piedmont Motors Corporation
at Lynchburg, Va, few weeks ago and was very
much impressed with what saw, both as regards
the size CT the plant and the work that is being
done.
Il saw cars at every stage of erection and COM
pletion, and all the work seemed to me the very
best. Incidentally, I discovered while in Lynch
burg, that the stock there is at a premium, and
that there is none for sale at that place AL
though heard of parties trying to secure some.'

The Farmers and O. & NJ elevators
at IIamplr were burned TO the ground
Tuesday night. Tie origin of the fires
is clearly incrndiary.
The Farmers Elevator was new
one of about 10000 capacity and had
cost TO build about $4,000 The insur-
anrn carried on this building was
5000. This elevator carried a blanket
policy of $4,000 10 protect its grain.
The o. a. NJ. elevator was consid-
erred worth $4,000. II is not known
here how much Insurance was carried
on this building and grain as the in
sllrancn is written at company head
quarters in Minneapolis.
There was about !. carload OF wheat
in tho two elevators. The Farmers
had 400 to 500 bushels of oats and IL
quantity of ground feed. The o. &. NJ.
had about 100 bushcl; of wheat

Il row on the 500. From west to east
there stood i'm Il row the o. L. NJ. the

wind was in Tie southwest and Just
had enough slant to keep the cmbers
from the Iiawkcye. 1t was not thought
the Farmers was in any danger what
ever. as the space between that and
the 1Iawkeyc was much greater than
between the two lying west. 1t was a
big surprise to those fighting to save
the second elevator to find that the
Farmers was on fire and was fairly

fire could not have been set from the
case of incendiarism.
