the best quarterback of his high school

Muskrat Stops Train.

The marshes around the Boston &
Maine railroad yards in Boston are
full of muskrats. Charley Brown, a
yard brakeman, has been realizing over
$100 a season since the war by shoot
ing rats on his spare time and selling
the fur, which now commands a high
price.
Brown has been known to shoot a
muskrat from the top Of a moving
freight car with a rifle.
A short time ago muskrat tied up
the interlocking switch system at sig
nal tower c. The big rat crawled into
the switchpoints to eat out the grease
used to lubricate the switches just as
the lever man in the tower tried to
close the switch for fast express pas
senger train.
The rat had wedged In so close the
switch wouldn't close and the plant
was tied up. The mechanic found the
rat wedged into the points and crushed
into a mass Of fur and flesh.

Within ten minutes after an appf.
cation Of Danderine you can not find a
single trace of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after few
weeks use, when you see new hair, fine
and downy at -yes-but really
new hair-growing all over the scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty of your hair. No diff
ference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten cloth with DAN
derine and carefully draw it through
your hair, taking one small strand at a
time. The effect is amazing-your hair
will be light. fluffy and wavy, and have
an appearance of abundance; an in
comparable lustre, softness and 1uxu-
rance.
Get a small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine for few cents at any drug
store or toilet counter, and prove that
your hair is as pretty and soft as any
-thaNit has been neglected or injured
by careless treatment-that's all-you
surely can have beautiful hair and lots
of it if you will just try little Dan
derine-Adv.

Aviators' "sport" Forbidden,

What promised to develop into a
highly exciting sport has just been cut
off in its infancy by Gen. William L.
Kenly, head of the army aircraft serv-
ice.
He has issued an order forbidding
army aviators, either on duty, at prac-
tice, or flying for pleasure, from shoot
ing wild ducks and other fowl with
machine guns. The practice not only
gave the birds small run for their
money and endangered the lives of
people for two miles around, but
wasted quantities Of costly ammuni
| ton.

FIGHTERS GOT THEIR "EATS"
How American Soldiers at the Front
Were Supplied by the Com
missary With Food.

The service of supply of the Amer
lean army receives a lions share of
praise for our victory. Needs of men
in the trenches and lon the fighting
line were well cared for. Hot meals
were served to them to an extent I'M
precedented in any other war. Under
barrage fire and gas attacks, however,
hot food could not be carried forward
To meet this difficulty sealed COM
tainers were provided, each holding
sufficient food for 25 men for a day.
These containers were absolutely air
tight to prevent poisoning of food by
gas. They contained a dry, hard corn
roast beef, salmon, sardines, salt,
sugar and coffee soluble in cold wa
ter, together with the necessary can
openers. Each container weighed 107
pounds and was cleyerly camouflaged
for its trip to the firing line. An
ration" of the British army was pro
vided for the Americans. This was

and used only in dire extremity. L

be warmed by the reflection of his

to work by the side of the other kind,
the strong men, without physical ham

men who live the life of soldiers. That
was the life he wanted. He would
wait long enough to get Marshall's in

ELECTION FOR ASSESSOR.

At its meeting Monday the Board of
Supervisors ordered special election
to be held on Tuesday. Feb. %, 1919,
for the Office of assessor of Jackson
county, to fill the vacancy caused by
the death of Mr. W. w. Woodman, as
mentioned in these columns last week.
The need for filling the vacancy is
urgent, as there is much for the as
sesor to do in the first few months of
the year if the property of the county
is to be properly assessed for taxation,
SO the board had to give the least pos
sible number of days notice allowed
by law
The office of county assessor is one
Of the most important of the county
Offices, as on the careful and efficient
wrk of the assessor depends to
large extent the amount of taxes TO
be collected. The late incumbent was
a splendid and efficient officer, and it
is to be hoped that in the present en-
ergeney man Will be elected that will
give the same satisfaction both to the
county and the public

are certain to develop. Good public
highways are the best assets for the
Improvement OF both city and country.

There are large gravel deposits To-
Gated near Hattiesburg. The quality
of this material is admirably adapted
for bodybuilding. In view of the nee
essity for better highways and paved
streets it would seem reasonable to
urge upon the United States Railroad
Administration the immediate use of
sufficient number of fiat cars to
move thousands of tons of gravel for
surfacing purposes to the gulf coast.
The utilization of the natural mater
ials from nearby points would also
furnish employment to many returning
soldiers.
