Registration Fee Trouble.
An unfortunate incident occurred
ut the opening session when delegates
were asked to pay a registration Zee
of So. No notification had been sent
out that a registration fec would be
exacted. and there was much opposi-
ton, It being argued that compliance
with this plan would set dangerous
precedent.
C. II. Kemler, of the local commit
tee, explained that registration Zee
was being asked at many conventions
over the state this year. and gave
az an instance the meeting Of the
Rotary Clubs at Dcs Moines last
month. where tho fec. he said was IS
per member. and - for each visiting
lady.
It was explained that the expenses
Of the convention were being pro-
vided for by the local committee
and that the Marshalltown Club had
not been asked to aid further than 1t
has always aided other conventions
and meetings. Some OF the dele
gates had paid the fee and others
were ready to pay but desired to
have II understood that the fee was
to defray entertainment expenses and
not to become q permanent tax on
members.

the city officials had had no knowl-
edge Of the needed assistance. MAR
shalltown IL not short and never
has been short, In entertaining any
said.
The mayor told tho delegates that
the city would pay the expense If
there was any deficit and asked that
the matter be brought to the atten-
ton Of tho city council for settle
ment.
After some further discussion the
motion to exact a registration fee
was withdrawn and those who had
paid the fee were returned their
money.

A Simple Way To
Remove Dandruf

There is one sure way that has never
failed to remove dandruff at once, and
that is to dissolve it, then you destroy
it entirely. To do this, just get about
four ounces of plain, common liquid
arvon from any drug store (this is all
you will need), apply it at night when
retiring: use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub it in gently with the fin
ger tips.
By morning. most if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
how much dandruff you may have
You will find all itching and digging
of the scalp will stop instantly, and
your hair will be fluffy lustrous.

hundred times better.-Adv.
