Honored.

Another matter of Importance IS
the fact that the State Association
has offered the position of Auditor

TRACTOR SCHOOL
A BIG SUCCESS
International Harvester Company
InjtructOrs Give Farmers Nalu-
able Help on Tractors.

All who attended the tractor school
which closed Tuesday. January 21st,
at Topeka, Kan. after a two days
session, were we'll satisfied in every re-
spect. All that we were able to talk
to said that they we're so we'll pleased
that should a school be held within
reasonable distance another year. they
will be sure to attend.
A no more timely subject than the
operation Of tractors could possibly
have been studied in this community.
1t is timely both from the standpoint
that there are many new tractor own
ers and also from the absolute neces-
sity of keeping all the tractors work
ing this following season. We all
know that it takes power and plenty
of it to produce the most crops and to
get the farm work done on time. If
the tractors are laid up for repairs,
or some little adjustments, it is valu-
able time lost. The object of these
tractor schools IS to give tractor own
ers and others Interested in power
farming some first-aid work for thu
tractor.
The school enjoyed two timely an
instructive talks by ]. c. Mohler. sec
rotary of State Board Of Agriculture,
and Hugh McNey of Capper publica-
lions.

tor arming, run at the Iris theater,

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
ana that is to dissolve it This de-
stroys it entirely. To do this, just get
about four ounces of plain, ordinary
liquid arvon; apply il at night when
retiring; use enough to moisten the
scalp mad rub it in gently with the
finger tips.
BY morning. most if not all. of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace OF it, no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You will find. too. that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop in
stantly. and your hair will be fluffy.
iustrous, GLOSSY. silky and soft. and
look and feel hundred times better
You can get liquid arvon at any
durG store. It is inexpensive. and four
ounces is all you will need. This sim

X. n. G.. Plans To Make 1t Fore
most Military City in State.
New Infantry Company Is Rap
idly Being Organized.
WILL PLACE FOUR UNITS HERE
Men of Company ii Putting on
a Recruiting Contest.
Losers Will Furnish an Oyster
Supper to Winners.

There is great activity and enthu-
siasm among the officers and men of
Company H, Kansas national guard,
in recruiting for a second infantry
company for Topeka. 1t is the plan
of Capt. A. c. Smith and other officers
of Company H to make Topeka, the
capital city of Kansas, the most impor-
tant national guard center of the state.
At its drill Tuesday night, Company
II was arranged in two recruiting pla-
ICONS, the members of which will con-
tend for the honor of bringing in the
largest number of new men. The los
ing platoon is to furnish an oyster sup
per to the winners. Every man has
pledged himself to bring at least one
new recruit to the next drill meeting.
AS the result of advance work on the
part of some of the men several re-
cruits were signed up Tuesday night,
The minimum quota of men for the
new organization has already been
more than half raised and it is con-
| fidently expected to go way over the
| top within the next ten days. The new
company will be a part of the Fifth
regiment, X. N G. Company H is
part of the Fourth regiment.
Four Companies Here.
1t is hoped to have in Topeka with
| in a short time four guard companies
two infantry companies, a head
! quarters company and supply com
pany. All men between the ages VI
| Is and As years, who are interested in
| military work, and desire to have To-
! peka a chief center OF one of the best
national guard organizations in the
! United States. having the finest ar
mory and military club house in the
west, are being urged to enlist. Re
cruits should report to the new ar
mory 400 Quincy street, between
1880 and $50 next Friday evening, or
to the old armory, 112 East Seventh
i street. between the same hours next
| Tuesdly.
A man we'll versed IN military af-
! fairs analyses the situation with re-
gard to the national guard and state
guard as follows:-
Last summer the federal govern
ment authorized and directed the state
of Kansas and other states to recreate
their national guards, which had been
! abolished by the taking INTO fedora

tons The national guard is the only

authorized by the United States gov
eminent, and must continue to be
such as long as the present laws are

Not Well Informed.

y Amsterdam. Jan. 22.-In reply to a

cording to a dispatch from Berlin. ex
presses agreement with Great Britain
that the future of the German eastern
ference. The German note says the re-
quest to refrain from provocation'
can only be attributed to the fact tina:
the British government is Inadequate
ly informed of events in the. east
The German note declares that Ger
many has done everything to redress
Polish grievances and accuses the
Poles of continually provoking the
Germans. 1t says that Posen is in a
state of upheaval and that the German
population has appealed to the Ger
man government for help. and the lat
ter has been forced to take military
measures to restore order. The note
asserts that while the German govern
ment has refrained from action
against Polish nationals who planned
and committed treason and revolt. it
cannot suffer ambitious imperialism
to reign supreme.
Events in upper Silesia, the German
note contends, have nothing in conf
