The Loveliest Curly
Hair-So Easy to Have!

Why make your hair dry, brittle and
dead looking with the heated waving
tongs, when the simple simerine meth
cd will produce curiness far more
natural in appearance, and at the same
time preserve the lustre and beauty of
your tresses? Liquid silmerine is SO
agreeable to use, being neither sticky
nor greasy, and the overnight trans
formation Is so pleasing, the first trial
will make it your firm friend
The approved way to apply it is to
pour little into saucer at bedtime,
dip clean tooth brush into this and
draw the brush through the hair from
crown to tip, one strand at time. A
few ounces of this harmless liquid from
your druggist will last a long time. You
will like 1t not only because of the
charming curly and wavy effect but
because you will also find it an ex-
cel!ent dressing for the hair. adv.

Congressman Get Program
The program has been sent to every
member of Congress, Mr. Atkeson
said, and 1t may be expected that farm
ers will observe the attitude of legis-
lators on bills affecting their inter
ests.
"We decided" Mr.. Atkeson said,
that the interests Of the farmers and
Of organized labor were not identical,
In fact were diane etrically opposed on
some questions. The union man wants
shorter hours and higher pay, which
means higher prices to the consumer.
a similar attitude on tho part of the
farmers would mean curtailment Of
production of food untif the people
were so hungry they would pay ex-
orbitant prices rather than starve.
Instead, it is our policy to encourage
as much work rs possible to stimulate
production, SO that normal conditions
may be restored.'

showing of Samuel Gompers's hand is
going to wake up the people of this
country"
Whenever Samuel Gompers puts his
hand on Representative and sayA
elect him the people will keep that
man at home," he said.
"For once I heartily agree with
Gompers and his associate leaders
when they say "a national crisis is
threatening the institutions of the
country" Blanton continued.
when an organized minority Of less

"a national crisis threatening the in
