American Trade Opportunities
Great in South Africa.
u. s. Must Work Fast, However
-Japs Already In.

Chicago, April 24.-In South At
RIGA. America has trade opportunities
equal or even superior to any found
in South America or Mexico. according
to George Birk, who claims to be the
only American pushing American
trade in that country.
Birk is in Chicago attending the
sixth annual foreign trade conference.
He left headquarters in johannesburg
some time ago with the idea of COM
ing to America and entering the army.
he said. Delays landed him here after
the armistice had been signed.
America has a wonderful oppor-
now but she must work fast. She will
find the task difficult" said Birk.
while America and England were
busy fighting the willy Japanese
scored a point by slipping down the
China sea thru the straits and into the
open territory.
These little traders have cultivated
markets carefully. They have given
credit for as long a period as a year
as against the English system of ninety
days or the American of six months.
TT is now up to America to force
the japanese out of their entrench-
ments. She can make up for her lack
of aggressiveness by the worth of her
goods, for buyers themselves agree
American goods are the most dur
able"
Birk said finished products such as
automobiles, tractors. binders, har-
vesters, typewriters and accounting
machines will find ready market in
South Africa if American rnanufac-
turers will only awake to their oppor-
tunity

proved highly. as was the value of

PRIVATE SKY PILOT
That Was dob OF Kansas Minister in
the Army.


The Rev. NJ. c. Dickson, of Leota.
Kan, in Topeka today in the uniform
of buck private looking for a job,
claims he is the oldest minister in
America who enlisted as a private, He
is a Methodist and A years of age,
with wife and two children, and en-
listed in the quartermaster corps at
Camp Macarthur, Texas, March IA,
1918.
The next day, he claims, the major
in charge decided he would do better
looking after souls than the pots and
pans of an army kitchen and placed
on the company bulletin board a notice
that the Rev. Dickson would hence
forth be an army sky pilot at large,
with the privilege Of looking after
salvation and holding meetings of a
religious character and. best of all,
would have pass privilege any hour
of the day or night.
From then until March IT. 1919.
when he was mustered out, the KAN
sas minister held the unique position
of buck private with nothing to do
but save souls. Friends were prepar-
ing to have him commissioned as a
regular army chaplain but he was dis
charged too soon to get the red tape
unwound, so the Rev. Mr. Dickson
stated today. He hasn't any pastorate
now and is on the market for Job.

KEPT WIRES HOT
Topeka Boys in 35th Sent Many
Telgerams to Folks.
"Arrived; Feeling Fine" Many
of the Messages Read.
FEW ASKED FOR MONEY
Many Remittances, However,
Were Sent Over the Wires.
Big Rush Not Cleaned Up Until

of the 35th division to their friends

hundreds of kilograms were received
and delivered, but this noon the wires,
altho busy, had ceased to be SO

Battery A, as well as from other To-

Organizations Send Messages.
The Salvation Army, the Red Cross
and other war work organizations are
sending kilograms free of charge to
relatives of soldiers who have arrived
home broke" The number of tele-
grams from friends and relatives to
the soldiers, altho not so great as those
incoming, is large, and while few of
the boys have wired for money, many
of their relatives are sending substau-
tial sums to see them safely thru in
case of emergency.
kilograms sent to the homecoming
soldiers in New York by relatives are
being delivered with remaPka BILE speed
and accuracy. according to local tele-
graph officials. The experience of the
messengers during the war now stands
them in good stead in locating indi-
viduals among the great, masses of
arriving troops.
Let Boys Sleep at Night.
Messages will not be delivered after
a certain hour at night. as officers
have decreed that where, as an ex-
ample. $50 men are billeted, PAS
should not be awakened at late hour
to deliver a telegram to the remaining
man.
The confusion typical Of a great port
of Decentralization naturally makes the
delivery of messages to individuals a
difficult task. but the telegraph COM
pantes have the work systematized Sc
the message sent by the anxious rela-
| tive is not held up any undue time
before delivery to the soldier

MOVIE ACTRESSES AND
THEIR HAIR

Did it ever occur to you that every
movie actress you have seen has love-
ly hair, while the most popular count
their curls as their chief beauty In
fact. many are leading ladies just be-
cause of their attractive looks. In
quiry among them discloses the fact
that they bring out all the natural
beauty of their hair by careful sham
pooling, not with any soap or make
shift, but with a simple mixture by put
ting teaspoonful of canthrox (Which
they get from the druggist) in a cup
of hot water and applying this instead
of soap. This full cup of shampoo
liquid is enough SO it is easy to apply
it TO all the hair instead of just the
top of the head. After it's use, the
hair dries rapidly with uniform color.
Dandruff. excess oil and dirt are dis
solved and entirely disappear. The
hair is SO fluffy that it looks much
heavier than it is, its Iuster and soft
ness are delightful-Adv.
