SPARTAN COURAGE

LYNN, Mass, July "a modern
example OF the Grecian stoicism was
revealed when Parker Weber. twelve
years old, admitted that he had al
lowed members of a boys secret So
ciety to sandpaper one of his fingers
until the blood oozed from the mem
Der. The Lynn police are now de-
voting their best energies to exter-
minating the society of youthful stu
dents Of torture.
Although the mutilated finger
panied him severely. the plucky
youth refused to expose it and re-
fused all explanation as to how the
injury had its origin But pain final
ly overcame him and he admitted to
his mother what the society had
exacted of him as an initiation.
The principal occupation of the
members was devising modes of tor
ture and inflicting them upon aspi-
rants to membership.

it is now compelled to suppress GER

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

II you want to keep your hair in
good condition. be careful what you
" ash IL with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alllali. This dries
the scalp. makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Mulsihed cocoanut
oil shampoo (Which is pure and entire
Iy greaseless) is much better than
anything else you can use for sham
pooling, as this can't possibly injure
the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance Of
rich. creamy lather. and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The
Iather rinses out easily. and removes
every particle OF dust. dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil The hair dries
quickly and evenly. and it leaves it
fine and silky. bright, fluffy and easy
to manage.
shampoo at most any drug store 1t is
very cheap. and a few ounces is
enough to last everyone in the family
for months.

British Army Officers,
PennleSs, Are Left to
Suffer, Says Haig

LONDON, July s.-Field Mar
shall Sir Douglas Haig, giving
evidence before a select com
mittee on pensions in the House
of Commons. had some caustic
criticisms to make on the def
ciencies of the pension system.
He said that in many cases
discharged officers had been left
penniless; that in some cases the
medical boards were ignorant of
the actual diseases suffered, and
that many Of the boards were
lacking in sympathy and gener-
osity.
Sir Douglas described the action
of the war office in placing offi-
GERS on insufficient half pay as
inhuman, for on the present
allowances the wives and famil-
les of officers lived in abject
poverty, unable to give proper
education to their children. The
field marshal, IL has been stated,
would refuse anything for him
self until the demands Of the
officers and men had been salts

MONTREAL TO HAVE
EMPLOYERS UNION

MONTREAL, July Steps are be-
ing taken by the Kiwanis Club, the
Rotary Club and other Montreal or
CARNATIONS composed Of employers
OF labor to form a general employers
association for Montreal as a sort Of
defensive league. This was decided
upon at a meeting OF the Kiwanis
Club, when a fighting speech was
made by ]. G. Merrick, of Toronto,
who argued that the time had come
when employers must organize for
their own interests, just as the labor
men were doing.
He pointed out that in Montreal
there were $50 paid employees OF Ia
Dor organizations doing nothing but
looking after their interests, while
the employers had not a single real
organization for similar purposes.
Toronto, he said. had a strong en-
ployers' association, whose influence
had been strong enough to head off
efforts TO bring on a general strike
there along the lines OF the Winni-
peg troubles. Acting on this advice,
the Kiwanians decided to start a
movement for an employers associa-
ton for Montreal.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
+++%+++++++++++++++++++++t

Lubbock High School entered up
on its fifth week of work Monday,
October s, 1919, with quite few
new students in the primary depart
ment, as well as in the high school de-
partment.
On account Of the heavy rains this
week there have been several absen-
tees, also some sickness.
Bro Graves, Of Allen, Texas, gave
US a splendid talk last Thursday
morning, which was thoroughly en-
joyed by everyone present. We hope
Bro. Graves will make Lubbock his
future home. and visit the high school
quite often.
A very interesting game Of foot
ball was played between the Lubbock
team and the Plainview team, at
Floydada last Saturday. The score
was "A to 0 in favor Of Plainview.
The Lubbock boys, however. do not
7 feel that they were beaten, owing to
the many difficulties under which
they were playing. The old players
displayed wonderful skill. as did each
of the new players, but the Plain
view team had the advantage all the
way around, both in weight and ex-
perience. Mr.. Slagle has asked Plain
view for game Thanksgiving, and
we hope they favor Us with their
presence here at that date. There is
great future ahead Of the Lubbock
team and We are sure by November
they will be entirely able TO give
plainview what is coming TO them.

elected yell leaders. and their assist

Our East Texas friends fight the

published recently that Lubbock
county as well as every western coun-
ty is contributing from five to fifty
thousand dollars every year to the
support Of the schools in some Of the
eastern counties. Lubbock county
pays into the state school fund

to this fund, and every other West

treatment in proportion.
