ORGANIZATION PLAN
FOR AN ARTILLERY
COMPANY PERFECTED

The meeting last night at the Of
ficers' club for the purpose of max
ing plans for the organization of an
artillery company was well attended,
and those present showed an intrest
which is indicative of the future sue
cess Of the company. Approximately
thirty-five members were secured, ar |
with the addition of ten or fifteen
more sufficient men will have been
secured to complete the company.
Practically all who have joined the
company are young business men OF
the city, men who can be relied upon
to turn out to drills and who in
case of an emergency will be able
t. respond promptly.
Another meeting will be held FIJI
day night at 7 o'clock for the pu--
pose Of completing the organization,
si.I electing officers. Following this
the company viii have its first drill
under the direction of Captain Guyer
and Lieutenant Dissenger, both of
whom are experienced artillerymen,
and who are taking a great interest
in the development of the artillery
company. The guns now abailable at
Fort Brown viii be used in the pre-
iminary drill work, but as they are
not modern weapons, new guns will
be provided in the near future for the
company. The guns now available at
strictly modern, adapted for indirect
firing, and will be q valuable addi-
tion to the armament of the post
when the new company becomes pro-
ficient in handling them.
The proposal Of holding two drills
each week, on Monday and Friday
nights, met with approval of all pres
ent. Captain Guyer assured them they
would find the work interesting and
instructive that he had no intention
of making it a ''grind." He also
stated that during the drill hour the
members of the company would be
obliged to submit to military discip-
line, as without the necessary discip-
line it would be impossible to de-
velop an efficient organization.
Every man in Brownsville who is
interested in making a success OF
this organization should be present
Friday night, and they should come
prepared for some good drill work

Mrs. Agnes Browne, who has been

donated a site for the institution,

Federal Trade Commission
Advises Radical Change
in Meat Shipments.
PACKERS own CARS
Ninety Per Cent Of Cars Now
Property Of Packers.
CRy The Associated Press }

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Aug. 26.-
Declaring that immediate action Is
necessary to control the business Of
the five largest packing companies
doing business in the United States,
the federal trade commission today
recommended to President Wilson the
operation Of refrigerator cars and
others used for the transportation of
meat, be declared a government
monopoly. The recommendation
suggests that the railroads be licensed
to operate them. The commission
points out in its recommendation that
the reports received from the big
packers state that they own fully
ninety per cent of all refrigerator
equipment in the country suitable for
the transportation of fresh meat.
The report says: "The present
countrywide system Of distribution
by the five big packers has grown up
from their control Of the refrigerat-
or car lines in conjunction with their
various pools TO turn the volume of
traffic. This has enabled them to Sc
cure from the railroads advantages
over the competing shippers. These
which were formerly in
the shape of rebates now usually con-
sist in the expedited service to the
big packers cars"

Dandruff Surely
Destroys the Hair.

Girls-if you want plenty of thick,
beautiful. glossy, silky hair. do by
all means get rid of dandruff, for
it will starve your hair and ruin it if
you don't.
It doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dis
solve it, then you destroy It entirely.
To do this, get about four ounces of
ordinary liquid arvon: apply it at
night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in CERT
ly 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 de-
stroy every single sign and trace of
it.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop.
and your hair will look and feel a
hundred times better. You can get
liquid arvon at any drug store. 1t
is inexpensive and four ources is all
you VIII need, no matter how much
dandruff you have. This simple
remedy never fails.

terday in regard to proposed
standard and deferred action until
November %. The subject was up
early in the month and continued
until yesterday when Clifford Pin

objected to by other commission
ers, while Mr.. Pinchot declared the
form submitted by Commissioner
Robert S. Conklin was not safe
guarding the State.
Mr.. Pinchot offered a resolution
calling for a statement of all con-
tracts now in force after a motion
to annul all contracts not approved

ers not being certain as to whether
the State would not be bound by a
contract approved by Commissioner
Conklin under the plan followed for
years.
