Yes, we feel sorry for those North Dakota folks who froze and died in the storm during the past week, and for the Kansas farmers whose fields of wheat were blown away or covered over by the dust storm. It's down. right hard luck, and the whole coun- try is hurt by such. At the same time we are glad we live in Polk county and in Arkansas.

POLK COUNTS EXPENDITURES

8 In this issue of the Star is given the detailed list of the expendi- lures for Polk county for the period between July |, 1919, and January i,I 1920, as supplied by Will Alexander, county clerk. Generally speaking this is according to what is known as the Publicity Act, initiated and adopted by the voters of Arkansas September 14, 1914, when it was approved by vote of more than two to one, about the same ratio being the result in Polk county.
 It seems to The Star just little strange, but it is a truth that, in many instances, those holding official posi- tion think little of, or, definitely op- pose this class of publicity, which, in its very essence, means the giving in a simple, easily understood form, facts and figures that show to those who pay taxes just how their paid ser- wants have used the money of those who pay. This law specifics that the custodians of the public funds merely lay before those who provide these funds the purpose for which these funds are expended, the individuals to whom they are paid, and the amount so paid.
 Simple proposition, isn't it-and yet it is common to hear officials say "thai the records show these things, and il folks want to know they can go to ths records for them" Most folks know this to be plain fallacy.
 But Judge H. w. Finger, who mos of all is the man responsible for tn, expenditure of the money of the peo pie of Polk county, is not one of thes' objectors. Judge Finger not onl. wants these things laid. before tn people in plain print, but goes furthe and asserts that, could he do so, h would pay the comparatively smal cost himself before he would have otherwise.
 The Star in months past, was aske repeatedly, What has become of th Publicity Lawl Why do you not gis your readers the information as 1 how our money is being spent, as yc used to do7"
 Here are the facts, as briefly stat. as is possible

Came Back to Paradise.

N. w. Swift and daughter Christina, who left Mena some months ago, re- turned Tuesday to again take up their residence in the old home town. They had been living at Oklahoma City, but Mir. Swift says living expenses were so high that they could not afford to stay, even though work was plenti- ful and wages good. He also re- marked to a business man who was complaining of the dust-laden breezes that If he only knew it, he was living in paradise" and illustrated the re- mark by telling of things he had ex- perienced elsewhere.

COURT NOT AT HOME"
Vice President Railway brotherhood
Anxious for Action.

H W. Wendele, vice president of
the Brotherhood of Railroad Station
airy Engineers and Firemen, today ap-
pealed to Richard J. Hopkins, attor-
ney general, to use his influence in
inducing the Kansas court of indus
trial relations to put its foot on the
accelerator in deciding on the merits
of the brotherhoods application for
an increase in wages.
Wendele asserted he was obliged
to face a constant fire from members
of the brotherhood clamoring for their
increase in wages and the demand be-
came so insistent that he came to To-
peka to endeavor to get quick action.
All members of the court were out of
the city today.
Judge W. L. Higgins was in Kan
sas City where it was reported he was
delivering an address. Judge Clyde
Reed was in Cherryvale attending the
Third district convention for the Sc
lection of delegates to the national
convention; Judge G. H. Wark also
was out of the city. Hopkins will take
the matter up with the court when
the members return tomorrow.
Wendle also called on Fred s. Jack
son, an attorney for the court.
The application for an investigation
by the court into the wages of mem
bers of the brotherhood together with
the esta blishing of a "just and equita-
BILE wage" was filed several weeks ago.

GIVES WATER DEPT. HOPE
Rain Must Continue, Tho-First Steps
Toward New Plant Soon.

Rain today not only pleased the
farmers, but brought a little hope to
the water department, according to

that the precipitation has added much
water to the supply but rather that, if
rains continue and soak into the
ground, the wells at the city water
plant viii be benefited.
The next ten days. Painter says.
should see the initial steps to get a
real water department for Topeka.
When the reports of all consulting en-
gineers are in, meeting of all civic
committees interested in the water
problem and, in fact, all persons in
terested will be called. The diagnosis
of the engineers and their suggestions
as to the best way to increase the sup
ply and give better service will be
laid before the assembly
Topeka must prepared to face the
expenditure of real money, Painter be-
lieves, in order that the water supply
and service may be made adequate to
the needs of the city.

Alkali in Shampoos
Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Mulsified
cocoanut oil shampoo, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap
and beats anything else all to pieces.
You can get this ct any drug store,
and a few ounces will last the whole
family for months
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonfuI is
all that is required. 1t makes an abun-

MAY PROBE MILL BUSINESS.
Hopkins Asked to Take Firemen's
Wage Demands to Industrial Court.

A thoro investigation of the milling
business in Kansas by the Industrial
court may be the outcome of a COM
plant filed with Richard j. Hopkins,
attorney general. by the firemen of a
milling company at Lindsborg, Kan.
The firemen asked the court to grant
them an increase in wages. They are
now getting $95 a month for a r.
hour day, making a scale of about IS
cents an hour, according to Hopkins 5
information.
The attorney general requested the
firemen to take up their grievances
with their employers first, promising
to file case for them in the industrial

an agreement with the mill owners.

TO APPLY FOR CHARTER
North Topeka Gets Solidly Behind
Home Building Association Plan.

North Topeka business men and
taxpayers are strongly in favor of a
North Topeka home building associa-
ton and will stand back of it, was the
report of E. r. Hayes, chairman of
the committe appointed last week to
find out if North Topeka business men
would favor such an undertaking.
Other members of the committee
reported d like success, but all agreed
that the men interviewed were not in
favor of an association without profit
to the stockholders. Capital stock to
the amount of $4,000 or more was
favored.
V. r. Parkhurst reported he had
seen Charles Mitchell, of the Aetna
Building and Loan association in re-
gard to that company taking over the
properties when sold by the North
Topeka association. Mitchell was
quoted as saying he thought the North
side association would have no trouble
in making terms with any of the
building and loan associations of the
city, as the loans made by them would
be backed by the North Topeka asso-
citation.
A committe composed of John Will
liams, E. r. Hayes and f. o. Morns,
was appointed to solicit the sale OF
stock and apply for a state charter.
The committee is expected to be able
to turn in full report at the next
meeting, which will be held on the
regular meeting night OF the Civic
club, April 6. At this time it is
thought matters will be in shape to
proceed at once with the actual work
of the association. While this home
building association project was intro
duced and fostered by the North To-
peka Civic club, it is a separate and
distinct organization. The associa-
ton will be formed on sound business
principles, with board of directors and
officers, members of the committee
stated. Stockholders will receive in
terest for money invested and the
shares sold to- any one person will be
limited The purchase of shares will
be open to any one wishing to invest.

wonders for straight, lank. unruly hair as
plain liquid silmerine. Nothing else Will
keep the hair in curl for so long a time

uraI-looking curls and WIVES. Damp or
windy weather has no terrors for the
woman who uses il. And no one need hest
tate to use it. for 1t is easily applied
with brush and is so perfectly harmless
1t leaves no greasy, sticky or streaky
trace The curlineSs can be acquired in
three hours, though many prefer to apply
the liquid at bedtime. When the hair
is eombed out 1t is delightfully."- soft and
fluffy.
Anyone who will get a bottle of liquid
Bilmerine from the druggist and follow
the accompanying directions will have a
most agreeable surprise. The liquid Is
also valued as n splendid dressing for the
