Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, be careful
what you use. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali, which
is very injurious, as it dries the scalp
and makes the hair brittle.
The,best thing TO use is just plain null
SIZED cocoant oil, for this is pure and
entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and
beats the most expensive soaps or any
shing else all TO pieces. You can get
this at any drug store, and a few ounces
will last the whole family ior months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about teaspoonful is all
that is required. 1t makes an abundance
of rich, creamy latlleE, cleanscs thor
ougllly, and rinscs ont easily. The hair
dries quickly and evenly. and is soft,
fresh looking. bright, fluffy way and
easy To handle sBesidcs, It l9osens and
takes out every particle OF dust, dirt and
iandruf.

WHITE PLAGUE COST
MISSISSIPPI $4,000, 900

Estimating that every victim OF
tuberculosis is capable of making S12-
90 a week or $62400 a year, the
three thousand deaths from this di-
sease in Mississippi last year caused
almost a two-million dollar decrease
in the earning power of the state
The exact figure, computed by well
tested plan, is $1,872, 900.
To prevent this economic, as wei
as human loss, the Mississippi Tuber-
culosis Association will offer for sale
December ILL upward of $208, ,0OO
worth of Christmas seals, the pro-
ceeds to go toward aiding the suf-
ferers Of the white plague" already
known, toward finding other cases,
toward campaign of education
against the dangers of the disease
and toward paying the expenses of
visiting nurses who will travel over
the state and give relief to the af-
flicted

WATER VALLEY BOY ACHIEVES
DISTINCTION AS MUSICIAN

Mr.. Lloyd L. Barber, the editors
eldest son is in New York City where
he playing for both the Victor and
Columbia people making music
records. Lloyd is one of the Water
Valley boys who has "made good +"
Although lad only 23 years old, he
has made wonderful advancement in
music. While a member of the u. S.
Navy and stationed at Great Lakes,
his playing attracted the attention of
noted Chicago musicians, and as soon
as he was released from Navy service,
Paul Biese the noted saxaphone and
violin artist secured Lloyd to play
First Trombone in the Biese Cele-
brated Orchestra, playing all this
season at the Pantheon Theatre and
Green Mill Garden of Chicago. The
Chicago contract closed on November
18, and now Lloyd is in New York
City under contract with both the Vic
tor and Columbia Record people play
ing trombone in the production of
musical records. Only the most noted
and best musical talent in the world
are employed in the production of
these musical records, consequently
it is not only an honor and distinction
for the performer but it pays wonder
fully large salaries.
1t is with pardonable pride that the
writer refers to the achievement of
his son and we know that Lloyd's
many friends in the city will rejoice
with his father over the young mans
phenomenal success.

CALHOUN SHERIFF
NABS MOONSHINERS

"Sheriff Will Wright and Deputy
Ernest Mccormick got up real early
Tuesday morning." says the Cal
houn Monitor.
mot that their getting up early in
the morning is such rare occurrence.
but this time it had a special signifi-
canoe. AT three o'clock that morning
these two men were stretched out in
clump of briars and bushes in big
ravine about quarter of mile north
of George Boatwright's place, 20
miles north of Pittsboro and just over
IN Calhoun from Lafayette County.
And there they stayed, quiet and
motionless until about 8 o'clock that
morning
And then they had some visitors.
A Mr.. Earl Sharp and a young man
named Franklin came down the hill
with load of pine knots and shot
gun. They proceeded to build up a
big fire around the pot and bring up
the barrels of mash. And finally laid
down the gun. When this happened,
Sheriff Wright rose up about te,
steps away and persuaded them to
surrender.
AhS AAOAi iCeh0liy gave up ana
told him that this was their first
over in Calhoun, that they had gotten
scare over in Lafayette and decided
to try Calhoun a barrel. They had
never made a run here, but just fix
ing to.
"Sheriff Wright brought them to
Pittsboro and lodged them in Jail.
Both the prisoners are residents
of Lafayette County.
I'VE welcome migration, but not
this kind.
"The Editor of the Water Valley
Herald is invited to read this story
carefully"
The Herald followed the Monitors
advice and kind invitation and read
the above article closely. 1t only
confirms our former conclusion that
Calhoun supplys the liquor for Yalo-
busha county. If the "durn" sheriff
and other officials of Calhoun coun-
ty were not quite so Jealous in the
performance of their duties, the edi-
tor might get little liquor to put in
his mince meat this winter.

THE STANDARD"
GROCERY A LIVE
HUSTLINC PLACE

One of the busiest places in the
city is Shaw & Co.'S. STANDARD
Grocery Store. The courteous and
efficient manager, Mr.. M. L. Shaw
and his corps of assistants are kept
busy as bees every day waiting on the
enormous big trade enjoyed by the
firm.
The business of the firm has in
creased daily from the date the store
began business, and is daily increas-
ing. Among the many reasons for
the rapid and constantly increase in
business is the sound, fair and square
business methods employed by the
firm. Another reason is the excellent
quality of the nice line of goods
handled, and third reason is fair
low prices charged for what you
buy. Shaw & Co., believe in ''living
and let live" policy, consequently
their goods are marked at the very
owest possible selling prices. When
you buy goods of them you know
that you are getting the advantage of
the very lowest prices.
They have the best goods on the
market and are not afraid to stand
behind what they sell, and will make
good every representation. Should
you ever receive any article at their
store that does not come up fully to
every representation, don't hesitate
to take it back, they will gladly pay
you your money back.
Such excellent business methods,
fair and square dealings with the pub
lie has increased their business to
such an extent that the store room
now is entirely too small to accom-
modate the requirements of their big
patronage. Where one delivery wa
gon was sufficient a few weeks ago,
it now requires two and then at times
the two wagons are not sufficient to
fill the demand. The firm will soon
have an extension built to the store
room which will also enable them to
carry even larger stock than their
present big line and will also give
more room for the crowds that at
times now fill the big room to over
flowing.
When you want dependable groc-
cries at correct prices, good service
and square deal, patronize the
Shaw q Co. Grocery, No. 215 Main
St., Phone 81. Watch their adver-
tisements and save money.

VARDAMAN BANK
VAULT BURCLARIzED

Sometime during the night of last
Thursday, the 18th of November,
burglars entered the building of the
Bank of Vardaman, of Vardaman,
this county, and with some kind of
high explosive, proceeded tc blow
open the vault door of the bank and
loot the vault.
A hole was drilled alongside the
combination of the vault door and
the explosive inserted. The explosion
b ew the door open, and gave him ac-
cess to the vault. Inside the vault is
the safe which holds the banks cash.
The Safe was not molested, the burg
lar eveidently thinking it was too bic
a job to undertake.
The thieves secured about one
thousand dollars worth of Liberty
Bonds and about fifteen hundred
worth of war savings stamps, which
We're in the files of private papers in
side the vault.
II they had been well on to the
Jop or more careful, in the search,
tney might have secured much addi-
tional bonds and stamps because
there were more there. They were
not all stacked together, however. but
each was in the owners flies, so evi-
IDENTIFY the thieves decided that time
was too short to make clean search
and went away without making very
big haul.
About forty-five dollars in cash was
in the vault and this was all taken
save one lone fifty cent piece.
NO alarm was caused and no one
knew anything at all about the
robbery until the Bank was opened
Tor business the next morning at 5
o'clock.
Some notes and deeds belonging
to private parties were taken. also
the parties who did the work evident.
~ guessing that they were bonds. etc,
The Bank carried full BURGLARS
insurance and no loss to the Bank on
its customers was caused by this oc-
currence. Business with the Bark
proceeded just as usual.
Sheriff Wright and Deputy Me-
Cormick went over to make such in
vestigation as was possible on Friday
but were unable to establish any clew
leading to the identity of the burg.

GOING AFTER OIL
in DEAD EARNEST

The Charleston Herald says that
the first meeting of the stockholders
of the Charleston Oil & Gas Co.
was held Monday night, at which
time organization of the company
was perfected. Mr.. w. B. Burke
was elected president Of the CON-
pany; Mr.. j. Fl. Caldwell, vice-pres-
ident; Mr.. N. H. Shields, secretary
w. F. Lambert, treasurer; and the
following as members of the Board
of Directors: ]. L. Harris and w. L.
Johnson, of Water Valley; r. H.
Harrison, P. H. Starks and George
Land, of Charleston. The charter
of Incorporation has been received
and the company duly qualified
under the laws of the state to trans
act business, and preparation for
drilling the first well will be pushed,
it being the aim, if possible, to begin
drilling by the first of January.
Negotiations are now under way for
one of the best drills on the market
and the company is determined to
make full and complete test. They
are very much encouraged by the
opinion of DIR. Lowe, state geologist,
who arrived Monday and has been
over the fields yesterday and today.
1t is the intention of the company to
pace some stock on the market, al
tho no commission will be paid for
sale of stock and there will be no
salaried officers. The shares of
stock are worcestershire and their par
value is $1.00 each. The promotion
of the company, together with the
personnel of those behind it and the
flattering prospects of finding oil in
paying quantities in this section is
attracting considerable attention to
Charleston. The Herald joins every
citizen in the county and state in the
hope that their efforts may be
crowned with success.

MULTIPLY AND RE

fruits of this marriage is 13 children,
10 living and 3 dead. Of this num-

two boys born Friday morning, NOV.
21), and boy and girl born the 18th
of December last year, making only
IL months and days difference in
the ages of these two sets of twins.
This is record for this locality in
carrying out the Scriptural injunc-
ton: Multiply and replenish the
earth," and no doubt if ''Teddy" was
living, and this news was brought to
his attention, he would have been
"Dee-Lighted."

DEATH OF ANNA LOU VAUGHN.

On Nov. 13, 1919, an angel visited
the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Vaughn and waited on its wings to
Heaven the sweet spirit of their little
10 year old daughter, Annie Lou.
How feeble are words to carry con-
ISOLATION to hearts bereaved of a be-
loved child.
A tender rosebud, sweet and
bright in her home from the hour
the angel first gave her to them, a
gentle spirit of light that that fitted
in and out like gleam Of sunshiDe.
No one can fill her place IN the a.
cant chair: No one will take her
lace in your hearts. And you would
not have the void filled, even if you
could. 1t will be a sacred thought
in the years to come, to parents and
friends, that she shed radiance in
the home as long as she did. 1t will
be blessed recollection that she
grew up to love and be loved by
those who will ever so tenderly
cherish her sweet and pure memory.
The heart pleads for utterance in
tears, and let it speak thus: We
sympathize with the bereaved ones,
feeling that while the ripened fruit
may be gathered, it seems cruel that
the bud should be taken before it has
even opportunity to unfold its bios
som. But in nature fruit falls, and
so do blossoms and buds. In the
ways of kind nature this is perhaps
best, and in the taking from our arms
of this one we will try to accept the
cross and bear it, believing that the
bud will get blossom and bear fruit
in the angel land whittier the spirit
of this pure child has so earlv flown.

man made short talk to about 20
citizens and business men in the City

steered the visitor wide away from

get the opportunity of meeting the

"Bull" didn't miss anything worth
while by missing the Herald, but the
editor feels like he missed something
great. The editor is unable to give

was not invited to the meeting--knew
nothing about such a meeting to be

Only A Cold.

Are you ill? is often answered.
"0hl it's only a cold" as if a coll
was a matter of little consequence,
but people are beginning to learn
that common cod is a matter not
to be trifled with, that some of the
most serious diseases started with a
cold. AS soon as the first indication
of cold appears take Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Remember that
the sooner you get rid of your cold
the less the danger, and this remedy
will help you to throw it off.

met in Jackson, the sessions of both
being held on Parish Street. A
one w. 0. Ligon was named as chair
man and G. Grangerry secretary. At
the other M. H. Daley was elected
chairman and ID. w. Sherrard of Me-
rldian secretary. Neither convention
elected delegates to the next national
committee and neither designated a
choice for the Republican nominee.
Both claimed to represent the old
line G. o. P. and at the same time
declared its rival did not. If there
was any il feeling between the two
wings it was not manifest. Both
wings meeting mixed in color.
