justice to Miss Mary Hong,
deputy county clerk, the Villas

record as saying that after maxi

the matter is that Miss Hong
followed the state election laws

that in our opinion the candi-

Arthur Guy Empey at the

order to accommodate the peo-
pie who have driven from all
over the Big Woods country to
hear and see him.
Empey is all that one has been
lead to believe him to be = a
plain American citizen, who,
when the time arrived, became a
soldier by enlisting in the English
army and fighting for nearly
two years in France. His stay
in this section for the past two
weeks at Tilden Bros. resort on
Meta lake has shown him to be
a typical American, winning
friends who recognize in him
that type of manhood which is
now putting the quietus to auto
cracy and German frightlulness.
His putting on his play in this
little backwoods village, and
talking for the benefit of the
United States government in its
present task is but symbolic of
Empey, who is doing all in his
power to tighten the burden OF
the American boy fighting at the
front. Every penny of the pro.
ceeds from today's showing OF
the movies, goes toward buying
smokes for American soldiers.

AND STOP DANDRUFF
Try thisl Your hair gets waVy,

at once.

To be possessed of head of heavy,
beautiful hair; soft, lustrous, fluffy,
wavy and free from dandruff is mere
ly a matter of using a little Danderine.
It is easy and inexpensive to have
nice, soft hair and lots of it. Just
get small bottle of Knowlton's Dan

stores recommend it-apply a little as
directed and within ten minutes there
will be an appearance of abundance,
freshness, fiuffiness and an incompatible
gloss and lustre, and try as you will
you cannot find trace of dandruff or
falling hair; but your real surprise will
be after about two weeks use, when
you will see new hair-fine and downy

sprouting out all over your scalp-Dan-
derine is, we believe, the only sure
hair grower, destroyer of dandruff and
cure for itchy scalp and it never fails
to stop falling hair at once. !.
If you want to prove how pretty and
soft your hair really is, moisten a cloth
with a little Danderine and carefully
draw it through your hair-taking one
