correspondence OF Associated Press.1
Montevidio. Sept. 19.-There have
been several evidences during the last
year Of the development of a closer re-
lationship among the South American
republics Is a result Of the economic
conditions that have grown out Of the
war Before the war each South Am
erican republic dealt directly with the
United States and European countries
and paid little attention to its neigh
bors in a commercial way. This has
all been changed and these republics
are now finding that they can supply
each other with goods in exchange for
things they need
The latest effort in this direction Is
the organization Of a South American
International Exposition which Is to
be opened in this city on Jan. 26 for
the display of cattle. agricultural and
Industrial exhibitions. Each South
American republic has been asked to
send exhibits and also to appoint
jury to form part Of the general jury
Of awards.
The exhibit Of cattle and agriculture
will include machinery and implements
used in connection with cattle raising
and farming in each Of the countries
and the industrial exhibits have been
planned to include everything that Is
manufactured in South America.
The committee of honor will include
the president Of Uruguay, the members
of the cabinet, the presidents Of the
senate and deputies, the president OF
the supreme court and the diplomatic
representatives of the countries which
send exhibits.

the experience Of Mrs. Lois Shea, who
Is at present carrying mail in Smiths

]. w. Pace. of this place, has received
letter from his son. Charles l.. Pace
who is in the United States army, a
member of the Cass county draft con-
tingent which a few months ago was
| taken into the service. He says that a
shipload Of United States soldiers after
arriving at French port were not al
lowed to land because there were some
cases OF Spanish influenza aboard
| Young Pace stated that the shin was
put about and retraced the 5000 miles
of sea journey to this country. The
young man. now i'll from the "fu" in an
eastern camp, writes the story.
Boone.
| The Golfers Of the Boone county
chapter of the Red Cross were Satur-
day enriched by $3.50, paid to it by the
| Boone Flour and Feed Company as a
penalty for profiteering. Aside from
this the firm must also remain closed
during the week of Oct. IA to Oct. 10.
| and handle no -four sales whatsoever.
J. F. Deems. food administrator for
Iowa, imposed this penalty on the
| Boone firm after examining all evil
dence, which proved that they had
profiteered in the sale OF wheat -four to
the extent of s150.75 over and above
the specific margins they were en-
titled to charge.
Cedar Falls.
The Cedar Falls board. acting on the
case of c. E. Bittner, teacher in the
high school, against whose service pro-
test has been made by the local vigil
lance committee because he affirmed
in his QUESTIONABLE that he desires to
return to Russia. has upheld Bittner.
The board decided that the motives of
the man, who wishes to do reconstruc-
ton work among his people, are good
and that he is as loyal to the govern
ment of the United States as is pos
sible. The protest of the committee
arose from the fact that Bittner altho
in this country for several years, had
not completed citizenship and desired
to return to Russia rather than remain
here. His defense is that he has not
remained in any place a sufficient
length of time to secure final papers.

Within ten minutes after an applica-
ton of Danderine you can not find
single trace Of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch. but what
will please you most will be after few
weeks use. when you see new hair, fine
and downy at first-yes-but really
new hair-growing all over the scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty of your hair. No diff
ference how dull, faded. brittle and
scraygy, just moisten a cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw it thru
your hair. taking one small strand at
time. The effect Is amazing-your
hair will be light, fuffy and wavy, and
have an appearance of abundance; an
Incompatible lustre. softness and lux
uriance.
Get small bottle Of Knowlton's
Danderine for a few cents at any drug
store or toilet counter. and prove that
your hair is as pretty and soft as any
that it has been neglected or injured
by careless treatment-that's all-you
surely can have beautiful hair and lots
Of it if you will just try little Dan
derine.

WRITTEN BOY A HERO.
Wayne Kaufman Sacrifices Life in
Caring For Sick Comrades.

Special to Times Republican.
Grinnell. Oct 17.-Still in a weak
ened condition due to a minor opera
ton, and with a temperature of 1881.
Wayne Kaufman. a member Of the
Grinnel! College class Of 1919 who en-
listed in the navy about a year ago,
was found by a medical officer volun-
tarily working to alleviate the distress
Of his shipmates who were suffering
from influenza. Under these conditions
Kaufman contracted pneumonia and
died Oct. at the Detroit naval train
ing station. Kauffman's home was at
Written. Iowa.
The following message from the
commanding officer at the naval sta
ton gives the account of the heroic
death:

.. Shortly before the epidemic OF
Influenza appeared, this young man
had submitted to a minor operation
which kept him in bed for few days,
and when it was evident that help was
needed by the. hospital corps, he
promptly volunteered altho his
strength had not returned. A few days
later the medical officer found kauH-
man working to alleviate the distress
of sick men while ne himself had
temperature of 1897. He had made no
complaint. but had worked under these
difficulties, administering to the wants

The BLUE TRIANGLE
AT RUSSlA'S FRONT

The Blue Triangle clubrooms In
Petrograd were in half shadow. A
few scattered candles flung CLEANS Us
persistent and as vague as Russia's
hope Of liberty. A hundred Russian
girls and six young men were guests
of the first Young Women's Christian
association in all Russia. It was a
gala afternoon tea but 1t was dark
because the winter days end at three
o'clock and there is restriction on
the use OF candles and kerosene as
we'll as Of electricity.
The girls were making merry even
In the gloom Of winter, the twilight
and the tragedy Of war. One slender
white-faced girl with purple-shadowed
eyes was merrier than all the rest
Her wit and ringing laugh were con-
tagiouG
"Sonya Is wonderful tonight" one
girl whispered to another as she
stirred gently into her tea the one
lump of sugar doled out carefully for
the party. The 7. w. c. A. secre-
taries had been saving the sugar for
months-putting aside at each meal
one of the two Jumps served with the
coffee In the restaurant, that there
might be a bit of sweet for this first
party. There was no bread.
"Sonya is not drinking her tea"
her pale little admirer went on, yet
she tainted this morning at the fac
tory and the forewoman said she was
hungry"
"We're all hungry" was the mo-
notonous reply. 1T wasn't that"
Something stopped the laughter and
talk suddenly but the hush that fell
in the dimly lit room was - Joyous as
the gaiety. One Of Russia's greatest
singers stood by the plano and lifted
up her glorious voice filed with the
tears and heartbreak that people at
peace call thrills.
They went away early when the
music was done-these sad-eyed, half
starved little guests Of the Blue Tr-

Sonya fingered after the others
were gone. She was standing close
by the secretary-hostess' chair when
she turned from saying goodnight to
the last one Of the other girls. The
laughter had died out Of the girls
eyes and the gaiety from her voice.
"Win you give me note to the
factory superintendent" she asked,
telling him I'm attending classes

for she knew no English, and the sec
