cording 10 the opinion OF our COM
ssissioners we are sure OF at least
$4,000.
The county court asked that the
road from Burns to Wright's Point
and from Crane 10 Well Hill be des-
iRnated IA market roads and these
will have first consideration. This
money ia expended by the county
court but the plans OF such roads
must be those approved by the state.
llurney county's representatives.
met with the complete county court
OF Deschutes county and when the
latter county officers were asked to
express their preference for the first
money expended. for highways they
were unanimous for the Burns Bend
road over any other within their
county
In connection with this route the
application OF Harnoy county for N
survey OF the unit between Burns
and Suntex has been granted hut the
local commissioners recommended
that this survey be made little
later In the season when conditions
wer. more favorable 10 such work
and more could be accomplished for
the money expended.
iinrney Couniy's mmissioners
had a private interview with simon
Benson. chairman OF the Highway
Commission. and at that time they
urged more vigorous prosecution OF
the iawen-Crane portion OF the high
way. hut the plans for that portion
had not yet been placed In the hands
OF the commission. The federal de-
partment was also visited and ask
ed for quick action when the plans

county can go before the state high

big amount OF work done. II has the
FIRST attention Of the mission.
We should have gotten on the band

our appropriations made and plans
so worked out In connection with
the state work that the commission
would be obligated for a greater
amount. However. as II Is. we must
do the best we can. Ft 81

A Shampoo That VIII
No tHarm The Hair

Just as cheap and strong soap
draws and burns the skin, cheap
shampoos, pastes and emulsions con-
tain an excess of alkali and draw
and burn the hair, causing it to lose
its color and life. If you are not
careful in selecting preparations with
which to wash the hair it is liable to
suffer an injury
Shuco Shampoo is prepared from
the highest quality of cocoanut and
palm oils, perfectly saponifed and
suspended in a perfect solution that
when applied to the hair two or three
teaspoonfuls and rubbed briskly at
once makes a bushel of creamy, rich,
bubbling and sparkling lather. Be-
fore it all dirt vanishes, leaving the
scalp and hair perfectly clean, lus
trous, brilliant and soft as silk. Your
mirror will tell you why Shuco Sham
poo makes hair with thousand lights.

Hair With A
Thousand Lights

Hair with a thousand lights is
perfectly clean and lustrous. 1t is
hair deprived of the sticky film caus-
ed by the use of cheap shampoos,
pastes, emulsions and creams that
take away its lustre and life and
cause it to lose its color. o
Shuco Shampoo is manufactured of
the highly refined cocoanut and palm
oils perfectly saponified and suspend
ed in solution. Two or three tea
spoonfuls applied to the wetted hair
and rubbed briskly changes into
bushel of bubbling, sparkling, snowy
white lather that vanishes all dirt,
dust and dandruff and completely
rinses out. 1t leaves the hair per-
fectly clean and makes it fluffy and
loose, brilliant, velvety and wavy.
Your mirror will tell you why Shuco
Shampoo makes hair with a thousand
lights. Easily obtainable at any good
drug store. adv

to the Fairgrounds by the planting
OF dogwood trees along the pathway
leading out to Hill street. At inter
walls, where shade is needed, suitable
trees are to be used, and later, when
all the trees are planted and in pro-
cess of growing, a bronze plate re-
cordlng the name of some particular
hero would be placed as a memorial
to his deeds of valor upon the trunk
of the tree. On the other streets it
IS suggested the planting of pink
crepe myrtle, or dogwood trees, ac-
cording to the individual preference
OF the resident, reserving the white
dogwood for use along the main
street to the playground.
A committee was appointed at this
meeting to canvass the various streets
OF Americas, and this committee will
begin Monday morning their work
of interesting the residents of Amer
lcus IN this tree-planting movement.

ed, and these will work in coniunc-
ton with the clubs of Americas in
this enterprise. On Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday these committees
will visit every resident on Lee,
Church, Brown, Taylor, College,
jackson and Rees Park, and present
the plans of the civic improvement
committee. 1t was also suggested
that other streets interested in this
tree-planting call some member of
the four committees and telephone
the preference for the Towering tree
to be placed in front of the home.
The ladies who will begin active work
on this project Monday are Mrs. Ell
ton Parker Mrs. E. B. Everette, Mrs.
W. S. Kirkpatrick, Mrs. Carl w.
