Try This IF You
Have Dandruff

There is one sure way that never fails
to remove dandruf completely and that
is to dissolve it. This destroys it en-
tirely. To do this, just get about four
ounces OF plain, 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
dissolve and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace of it, no matter how much
dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop instantly
and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft and 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. This simple
remedy has never been known to fail.

The picnic this year was largely
attended and was one Of the most
enjoyable occasions ever held by the

credit for the success and enjoyment
this year is due to the special efforts
of the hustling secretary, Mrs. N. C..
Larson, who will be better remem-
bered as Miss Tinte Cox, a former
popular Bonaparte girl. She spent a

Cotton Seed Dealers
 to Hold Conference

Washington, August 7.-Dealers in cot tor seed for planting will convene to- morrow at the food administration for a conference when cost of doing business will be discussed. with view to deter mining basis for rules and regulations to be drawn up by the administration governing margins of profit.
 More than 100 seed men are expected to attend, representing every state in which cotton is raised. At present dealers who sell seed for planting are included in rules and regulations issued recently for sellers of milling seed by which profits of the latter are limited to g per ton when they, themselves, own their bufi- ness wholly and assume all risks of op- eration.
 It is felt that because of the greater expense incurred in handling seed for planting, it is unfair to confine dealers in this seed to the s profit.
 Dealers who sell for planting develop their product carefully by the most ap- proved methods of ho orticuiture and usu- ally sell these select lots in small quan- titles. to growers The growers bind them- selves to sell back the product of the seed to the dealer at an advance. The dealer then sells in larger quantities to the generality of growers.

depth of 1000 yards, between the Lave and Clarence rivers. The details of this feat are not yet in hand, but they will doubtless go far way toward lessing the point or the nasty salient that has stood as menace for months to the British line north and south of it.
 Next in importance is the further gain ing of footings by tine French and Amer jeans across the yesle, where the pres sure against the Germans toward the Aisne can be resumed when further troops ford the stream but the gain of ground by the French in the railway triangle north of Rheims aiso must be looke,! upon as move of great strategical value From their positions the French now are able to dominate with their guns the railway line over which the German have been bringing stores from the northeast through the town of Bethel and that line running northwestward across the Aisne toward Laon, which undoubted- ly has been used since the retreat be- gan for the removal of troops, guns and supplies out of the threatened zone.
 David Lloyd George, the British prime minister, addressing the House of Com mons. spoke enthusiastically of the status of the war from the allied standpoint He characterized the progress on th1 Aisne Marne front as the most brilliant in the annals of the war and praised the part taken in it by the American troops. More than 150 submarines hal been destroyed since the war began and the submarine menace had failed, he added.
