SO. she gave Uncle Wiggily some of
her sweet-smelling perfume, and away
the bunny uncle rabbit gentleman
started to get the onions ready for the
Thanksgiving diuner-at least-Nurse

1t did not take Mr.. Longears a great

shouted to Uncle Wiggily.
No, II have him first, said the
he cried more tears.
What makes you so sad, asked
the Skuddlemagoon. II should think
you'd be glad you caught that rab-
bit.
Then the Skuddlemagoon came closer
and he, too, began dripping big tears
from his eyes.
SO, Uncle Wiggily was crying, and so
was the Pipsisewah, and so was the
Skuddlemagoon. And then, out from
behind a tree popped the Blue-Nosed
Baboon, He was just going to grab
Uncle Wiggily, but when he saw the
Pipsisewah and the SkuddlemagoOr
crying the Balloon began to weep also
and said:
"Oh, why are you all so sad? ! s'pose
it's because YOU make CnCle Wiggily

BEST WAY TO WASH the HAIR

We find you can bring out the beauty
of your hair to its very best advantage
by washing it with Canthrox. 1t makes
a very simple, inexpensive shampoo,
oughly OF al the dandruff, dirt and ex-
cCos Oil, leaving a wonderfully clean,
wholesome feeling. After its use You
will find that the hair dries quickly and
evenly, is never streaked in appearance
and is always bright, soft and fluffy; so
fluffy, in fact, that it looks more abund-
ant than it is, and so soft that arrang-
ing it becomes a pleasure. lust use Il
t%easpoonful of CanthroX, which you can
get from any good druggists, dissolve
it in a cup Of hot water; this makes a
full cup Of shampoo liquid, enough so
it is easy to apply it to all the hair
instead Of just the top of the head.

periences with the martyred presi-
dent. He gave the large audience of

taste for more when he concluded his

forward manner that made his adj

ance in the auditorium was greatly
appreciated.
Master James Combs of the Junior

selections on Abraham Lincoln from
great poems. Miss Cora M. Rawlins,

sented the service flag for the grad
yates. The flag bore 26 stars. Miss

Would Put Rail Bill
Thru Soon AS Possible

Washington, Feb. 11.-Enactment
of the administration railroad bill,
with as little delay as possible be-
cause of its importance as a war mea.
sure and its relation to the financial
problems was urged by Chairman
Smith of the interstate commerce
committee today, when consideration
of the measure began in the senate.
Administration leaders admit fin
al vote will hardly be reached much
before the end of the month.
Senator Smith reviewed the var1-
GUS steps taken to meet the trans
portation situation when the country
went to war, eliminating in the gov
eminent taking over control of the
carriers. He urged that the present
time was inopportune for an attempt
to work out and correct defects in
the transportation system have been
made imperative in order to meet
the crisis and because Of that fact
every necessary grant Of power
should be given to accomplish this
purpose and the powers thus granted
should be used with all the wisdom
and care that the executors and adj
ministrators Of those powers can
command"
Because of President Wilson's I'M
expected visit to the capitol and the
rush of other business, the house was
unable to take up the railroad bill to-
; day. Chairman Sims announced he
would attempt to obtain an agree.
; ment tomorrow for consideration OF
the measure to begin later in the
week, probably on Thursday.

Mechanics Of North Dakota
Conclude Successful Convention,

toast program was unfolded, under
the very able management of the
postmaster, P. G. Davidson. First
came a very witty and humorous talk
by Rev. l.. G. Moultrie, who was del
egated to do the city's bit by Mayor
Moe. Mr.. Moultrie said that the
mayor always made excellent selec-
lions when he wanted proxy and he
cordially endorsed Mr.. Noes selec-
ton. Hon. Lee Combs then followed
with one of the most eloquent and
patriotic address, overfowing with
patriotism and eloquence and deliver
ed in Mr. Combs most enthusiastic
manner. It was greatly appreciated
and enthusiastically received.
Hon. F. E. Ployhar, our state SEN
ator responded next in a neat and
we'll turned talk and was followed by
P. R. Trubshaw, Hon. Burl Carr, Prof.
Selden, Napoleon LeAuer, Mr.. Austin
and others, the speaking program be-
irg concluded by an able address on
Community Building by Mr.. Alex
Kari.
At this point it would be just right
to say that Prof. J. B. Meyer, whose
singing always pleases the public,
was in excellent voice and his con-
tributions to the program were great
ly enjoyed. Miss Josephine Wright
presided at the piano. Prof. Knute
Froysaa also pleased those present
by his finely executed violin solos.
In conclusion we must say that a
finer body Of men never met in con-
vention than those Of the North Da-
kota Mechanics and with them big
hearted bunch of travelling men. It
was a great convention, everybody
pleased and Valley City is pleased
that they came here with their con-
vention and the people of the city
certainly hope they will decide to
come here again.
