FAIRFAX DECIDES IN SCHOOL
QUESTIONS

s Fairfax had a lively school election
last Saturday. It will be remembered
that the School Board got into the line
light recently because they did not want
to re-elect Supt. Bowden as Superin-
tendent for the Fairfax schools for the
next year They we're accused Of dis
loyalty at the time. This issue VS.
threshed out at the Saturday meeting
and G. w. Heymann and VIM. A. Fiss,
members Of the Board whose time ex-
PRED, were reelected with an overwhelm-
ing majority. Heymann received 311
votes and VIM. S. Fiss 289 votes of the
total vote of 491 cast. E. A. Enger
received 179 votes and E. H. Brown
1875 votes. These gentlemen represented
the Bowden forces. A vote Of 491 in
a small community like Fairfax goes to
show that considerable interest was taken
In the school election and that practi-
cally every voter registered his choice.

The moment you feel dull ache in The

urine is cloudy, offensive, full Of sedi-

ounces OF Jad Salts from any reliable

WAGE SCALE MADE OUT
FOR HARVEST HELPERS
County Agents and Safety Boards
Set Fair Rate of Compensation
For Men Who Will Save
The Crops

The sentiment OF West Central Min
nesota in regard to wages for harvest
and threshing hands was voiced in a
meeting Of the County Food Admin
istrator, Chairman of the County Safety
Board and the County Agricultural
Agents of Swift, Renville, Chippewa,
Yellow Medicine, Lac qui Parle, Lyon
and Redwood, held at Granite Falls
on Monday, July 10Th, After very
heated discussion of the labor situation
twas thot advisable to suggesta wage for
harvest and threshing help that would
be uniform throughout the state, es-
pecially the small grain district and in
this way make the possibility of securing
harvest and threshing help the same in
all sections of the state by making public
the uniform wage that can be expected.
The Sentiment of the meeting was that
wages should be set on the hour basis
at the rate of soc during haying and 40c
for harvest, stacking and threshing
season. It's DESTROYS to give the decision
the most publicity possible and in that
way protect both the laborer and the
farmer to the extent Of suggested
reasonable wage which will aid in keep
ing conditions normal during our nations
time of need.
Mr.. Webb states that these are the
wages that will be paid in Brown County.

TAKES OFF DANDRUFF,
HAIR STOPS FALLING
Save your Hair! Get small bottle
of Danderine right noW-Aiso
stops itching scalp.'

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence Of q neglected
scalp; of dandruf- that awful scurf.
There is nothing SO destructive to
the hair as dandruff. It robs the hair
of it's lustre, it's strength and its very
life; eventually producing a feverlsh.
ness and itching of tie scalp, which II
not remedied causes the hair roots to
shrink, loosen and die-then the hair
falls out fast. A little Danderine to-
n1ght-now-any time-will surely save
your hair.
Get a :: small bottle Of Anowlton's
Danderine from any drug store. You
surely can have beautiful hair and lots
of it if you will just try a little Dan
derine. Save your hair! Try it!

ORDERS ISSUED BY
FOOD CONTROLLER.
FARMERS WHO STILL HAVE ANY
GRAIN ON HAND MUST
e.. ..5- SELL 1T
GIVEN UNTIL SATURDAY THIS
WEEK TO BRING WHEAT
TO MARKET

| The order to farm ers appearing onpage
1 of this issue will come as relief to a
great number of farmers in the neigh
borhood of New Ulm, who have mad
vertently failed to comply with the orders
of the food administration directing them
to, market all their grain on or before
May 18th. In most cases the matter
of failure to market the grain was
merely an oversight, the farmers not
having the time necessary to haul the
wheat still left after seeding and doing
all the other work that devolves upon
them in looking after their farming
interests.
Farmers Puzzled >'
When it became known that v. B.
WYE was active in the neighborhood of
Sleepy Eye and that great number of
farmers had been ordered to haul their
wheat to Sleepy Eye and in great
many cases the entire moneys realized
from the sale of the wheat went to the
American Red Cross and that in many
other instances the delinquents were
called upon to invest quite literally in
War Savings Stamps, CONSERVATION
reigned among quite number of farm
ers in the neighbcrhood of New Ulm
who were also. guilty Of not marketing
their entire holdings. Quite number
travelled to Sleepy Eye to find out what
the special representative of the Food
Administration wanted done because
they had no desire whatsoever to go
counter to the wishes of the government
and do not feel that they were guilty
of boarding the wheat altho they had not
complied to the letter with the orders
of the Food Administration.
Other Hoarders Sought
1t is not only the farmers who are
singled out in this investigation which
Mr.. WYE is making at the present time
but he is also making a search of the
premises of the people living in the city
and among the so-called .well-to-do
for the purpose Of finding OUT if they
have complied literally with the orders
of the Food Administration with reference
to the use of flour and substitutes and
also the use of sugar.
The total receipts from penalties UP
to Friday aggregated the sum OF ST.
10000 and ranged all the way from SOC
to $359.65, the largest wheat sale made
since the investigation is on. The total
number contributing who brot wheat to
Sleepy Eye is ia.
Retained Seed Wheat
Farmers from Nicolet County claim
that they had been told by the. Food
Administration of Nicollet County that
it would be all right for them toretain
enough wheat for seed wheat purposes
so as to be fully protected in case the
crops this year should prove failure
or the wheat itself be so poor as to be
unfit for seeding purposes. Now that
MIR. WYE has given notice what shall be
done with the wheat still in the hands
of the farmers there will be a sigh of
relief from most of them because they
know now what they are to do. AS long
as only rurnors were afoat they were
at loss what to do.

New Styles Out
of Old Fabrics

New York.-PariS is never handi-
capped in creating fashions by the
actions of other designers. That is
why she is powerful. America has al
ways suffered under this handicap be-
cause she has followed Paris, asserts
prominent fashion authority. She
has never been inclined to risk the
exploitation of fabrics, fashions and
c>oiorings that were not sponsored by
the mother of fashions.
1t is said of us that we acknowledge
the best in every nation and bring 1t
to our shores. We know the best in
every department of art, science and
literature. If we are compelled to put
our knowledge to practical use, we at
least have the best to go on. We are
not ignorant.
The time has come for this expert
ment, as we all know, and the observer
thinks that a few medals of honor
should be distributed to those who
have gone "over the top" in designing
clothes in this country. 1t took great
commercial courage and 1T required a
sound knowledge of the American
public.
What France Did America Does.
Here are two anecdotes which &C
centuate the point. They happened a
dozen years apart. Nine. Paquin saw
several bolts of checked silk in a man.
ufacturer's hands. Neither the weave,
the coloring nor the design was in
fashion, to quote her own phrase. The
manufacturer complained that he had
no call for this quantity of material
and that he would sell it for about
a franc and half a yard. Nine. Pa
quin took it all, went to her salons
on the Rue de la PaiX, turned the
cheap check silk into an alluring frock
of her own design, and then wore it
at Trouville-by-theS She made the
frock, the design, the color and the
fabric fashionable. Everyone wanted
to wear what she wore. She sold
every inch of the material at a price
that brought her unmeasured profit
on the transaction.
Last month an American designer
was looking over the stock of lace
importer. Nothing new" said the
importer. "Here I am held up with
about fifty Spanish lace scarfs which
/ bought at a venture, thinking / could
distribute them in the trade in Amer
lea, but no one took them. The one
answer was thai they are not in
fashion,,
The designer said that if the i'm
yorter would give him one he would
turn it into a gown that would sell
all the other scarfs, on condition that
be Received a commission on their sale.
The bargain was closed. The gown
was designed. 1t sold Immediately.
1t was copied so fast that the other
40 scarfs melted away like flakes of
soap in hot water. Spanish lace was
offered as a first fashion.
That is a good example of the
change that has come over the Ameri-
can merchant and the American de-

what is the fashion, but are probably

Management of Black Taffeta.
It is easy to realize that taffeta has

though the popular mind does not re-
gard it as one Of the lovely weaves
of the world, because it is plentiful.
There is no trouble about getting all
