cockand Bull Story.

Cock fighting IS still the national
sport Of the DoInlnicans, although il is
declining in popularity. Under the ma
tiOnal gambling laws cock fighting may
be prohibited. 1t may, however, be II
censed by the various municipalities,
and It usually is, as it yields them
good revenue. While bull fighting Is
permitted in the Dominican republic,
it has never been popular in this island.
At long intervals tOreador comes here
en- route from Spain to Peru or Mex
leo, and few bull fights are held in
the various towns, hut they do not at
tract large attendance. There are
no professional bull fighters among the

WORKERS TO
BUY FIRST
Chairman McNider Wants His Sales
men for Liberty Bonds to
Set Good Example for
Others.

Every Liberty bond salesman in
Iowa will be expected to make his
own subscriptions before he solicits
others.
| Lafayette Young, Jr., publicity di
rector for Iowa, has been so advised
by C. H. McNider, federal reserve di
rector of sales.
See to it that the men who start
out are themselves in the fight by
reason of having made their subscrip-
ton to the third Liberty loan," says
Mr.. McNider
The Iowa sales director further
urges that all Iowa counties go far be-
yond their quotas.
He explains his request as follows:
at is indicated from Washington
that the over-subscription will be re-
tanned and bonds will be issued for
same. This makes the question in
definite as to the amount We should
raise in Iowa, and in each county. We
feel it important that the subscrip-
tons be made as large as possible.
1--WE are on a competitive basis, a
different situation than in the pre-
yious campaigns. We know the gov
ernment wants every cent n can raise,
and Iowa must raise all it possibly
can at this time. We know that Iowa
is going to be in the front rank, and
we are sure, with the organization
that has been built up, we are going
to place our state far beyond criti-
cism, and in line for congratulations

In other words, we keep feeding the

Dandruffy Heads
Become Hairless

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.
1t doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure way
to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve it.
then you destroy it entirely. To do this.
get about four ounces OF ordinary liquid
arvon; apply it 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, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every single
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 hundred times
better. You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive and four
ounces is all you will need, no matter
how much dandruff you have. This
simple remedy never fails.

CENTENNIAL
BUILDING
First Step Taken When Department
Heads Are Asked How Many
Rooms They Want in
New Structure.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, April 5.-The
first step toward erection OF the big
centennial building Immediately
south of the capitol building was TAX
en- today by Acting Director Thomas
G. Vennum when he circulated blanks
among the department heads, asking
them to list the number of rooms
they desire in the new structure.
It has been practically decided
that the centennial building will be
a combination memorial and office
building. The centennial commission
for some time was undecided whether
to- make the building a strictly mem.
orial building with large memorial
halls or an office building.
1t was finally agreed to make the
structure combination memorial
and office building. The center Of
the building will be large halls with
their memorial effect while the wings
will be, entirely for offices.
Because Of the urgent need for
more space for the different depart
ments, and the desire Of the admins
tration to keep new building expendi-
lures to the minimum, caused the
centennial commission to adopt the
idea.
AS soca as the department heads
complete their office room requests,
Acting Director Thomas G. Vennum
will have plans drawn for the new
building. The centennial commission
plans to lay only the cornerstone at
this years celebration.

will be taken at q meeting Of the
price fixing committee of the war in

GUS sort began to whistle about his
perch in the shape of shell splinters
while terrific explosions ploughed up
the orchards of Picardy and shatter-
ed the ancestral tombs. Even more
annoying were the irresensible gyra-
tons which the cock was forced to
undergo in defiance of all natural
laws whenever a conclusion of air
took place in his vicinity. So when
a shell actually grazed his plumage,
he preferred to abandon his perch
and Topped down to terra firma."
AS fate decreed, the cock alighted at
the feet OF a mud-stained warrior,
known as Alfred Lavergne, who was
seeking shelter in the church. Coco
rico!" calculated Poilu-Lavergne,
"hows that for mascot?
The reader will of course presume
that the venerable weather-cock
would end his career In blaze OF
glory, blasted heavenward by Ger
man shell, while his master won SUI
preme distinction in some victorious
onrush-or else, that his battered and
glorious remains were bequeathed by
his heroic master to his hearse as an
eloquent memory Of the prowess of
their ancestor. Unfortunately the
tale of human ingratitude is once
more repeated in the case of the
Cock of Tilloloy. For he persisted as
ANONYMOUSLY as the famous Little
Tin Soldier one day when Lavergne,
weary OF the load of German trophies,
decided to dispense with some of his
impedimenta. This happened, strange
to say, near the cocks home, at Bus,
near Tilloloy, and his grave was the
village pond, where Lavergne, prompt
ed perhaps by some superstitious
sentiment regarding his mascot,
plunged our hero.
Then one day Lavergne, now in
Flanders, reads in his newspaper that
the American Daughters of the Rev
intend rebuilding various
ruined localities in France, among
them being Tilloloy and its church
At once the memory of his old pal,
his one-time faithful mascot, REQUIRED
to Lavergne, and he straightaway
wrote to these American Daughters
Of revolution that the GROWING glory
of Tilloloy church was lying at the
bottom OF a neighboring village pond
and that he desired to bequeath the
valiant rooster to his little sisters"
across the Atlantic.
Needless to say the Cock of Tillo
loy' was promptly resurrected from
bis watery grave But his wanderings
were not over even then, for, before
being returned to his home-perch, the
now celebrated volatile was dispatch
I'd to the capital, where he was dis
played in the window Of a big news |
paper The ravages of war have
bereft him of most of the attributes
If a normal fowl, but his heart is
still in the right place.
