Fought Near Stands.

The unfortunate fist fight with it's
fatal termination married what was
otherwise perfect day for the fair
officials, but no censure is heard be,
cause OF it. The two men fought
west OF the grand stand after o'clock
in the afternoon. 1t is understood
that back of the encounter and the
tragedy is woman who in this in
stance was Langford's wife.
Crenshaw formerly conducted a
saloon in Warsaw and still makes his
home there, while Langford lived in
Bentley. Langford and his wife have
been separated for several years, but
it is understood that Langford nursed
the grievance that his domestic
trouble was not entirely of his own
making. Mrs, Langford before her
marriage was Miss Rosie Calhoun,
and the family lived in Carthage for
a number of years
Crenshaw was placed under arrest
and the sheriff's force secured names

REAL TURK NOT A BAR1ERER
Refuses to Go Out Of His Way to
Make . Sale, and 10 Apt to
Ignore Strangers.

Love Of baksheesh (gratuIties) be-
trays the falsely named Turk. Eager
ness to do something for you, or BUSH
ness with you is another sign of the
mongrel Turk. Some real AnatOlian
Turks are merchants and sit in the
bazaars. But they will not go out Of
their way to make a sale and they
really do not care II you buy or not.
Often they ignore strangers; some
times they rebuff them. When you
run up against this type In the
bazaars. where all the Jews and Gen.
tiles are after your money with an
lnsIstence that we call oriental, 1t is
like a dash Of cold water in your face.
Once in a little open shop saw a
rug that attracted me. l started to
enter. But the crouched figure on a
mat put out a long-fngered left hand,
grasped firmly my ankle, and removed
my foot outside the threshold. /
thought there must be some supersti-
ton about which foot went first. So
tried the other. The same left hand
proved again its strength. All the
while the merchant did not speak or
look up. His right hand was string
ing beads and he was smoking a
nargile. He simply didn't want to
bother with me, and my shoe told him
that was franga (EurOpean). Later
/ got to know that old bird. and we
laughed over stories together. But he
never asked me to buy anything, and
did not want to risk his friendship
by making second try for the rug.
There are other things In life than
selling and buying. And much more
important! But the mongrel Turk,
like the Christian, does not understand
this. 1t isn't in his blood.-C Chicago

DITCH TO COST s2.5oo.ooo.
Monona County Project Designed to
Reclaim $1,000 Acres.

Sioux City. May 19.-Plans sub
mitted for the master ditch drain
age project in Monona county by c.
Moriarity, Siou City engineer. have
been approved by the board of county
supervisors of that county. Approval
and acceptance by county authorities
followed approval of the plan offer
ed by S. Fl. McCory. chief OF the de-
partment of drainage. United States
bureau of public roads. Washington.
D. c. Mr.. McCrory spent considerable
time in Monona county checking the
plans offered and in the end gave
them complete Endorsement.
This project. which has been con-
templated and under discussion for
several years. is now estimated to
cost s2,500,000. 1t calls for a main
ditch approximately so miles long
and about Isl miles of lateral bitches.
involving the excavation Of over 49,
100000 cubic yards of dirt.
The general purpose OF the pro-
ject is to straighten the channel of
the Little Sioux river and its tribu-
,taries. besides eliminating the causes
which annually render about $4,000
acres of Monona county land sub
ject to overflow
Plans are to authorize bond is
sue to cover the cost of the project.
Actual construction work is not like
~ to begin, for several months.
The enterprise is one Of the larg-
est in point of cost ever approved by
any county in the middlewest.

Combing Won't Rid
Hair of Dandrul'f

The only sure way to get rid of
dandruff is TO dissolve it. then you
destroy it entirely. To do this, get
about four ounces of ordinary liquid
arvon; apply it at night when re';ir-
ing: use enough to moisten the scalp
and rub it in gently with the finger
tips.
: DO this tonight. and by morning,
most if not all. of your dandruff will
be gone. and three or four more ;,p-
piic8tions Will completely dissolve and
entirely destroy every single sign and
trace of it, no matter how much dam
druff you may have.
You will find. too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous. glossy. silky and soft, and
look and feel hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at itny
drug store. 1t Is inexpensive and
never fails to do the work. Il
