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). ap-
ply it at night when retiring; use
enough to noisten the scalp and rub
it In gently with the finger tips.
BY morning, most If not all, Of
your dandruff will be gone, and three
or four more appli cations will COM
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace Of it. no
matter how much dandruff you may
have.
You will find all itching and dig
ging Of the scalp will stop instantly,
and your hair will be fluffy. lustrous.
glossy silky and soft. and look and
feel a hundred times better.

The switchboard Of the new cleo
trio generator, being installed at the
city pumping station to supply street
and alley lighting, has been delivered.
and 1t is expected that the engine
and generator can be tested next
week. The engine and generator
that were delivered several months
ago nave been set up and it is hoped
that If the test is successful, the
street wires can be connected to the
generator week after next If so the
city will light its streets with it's own
electricity instead of buying light
from the Iowa Railway and Llght
Company.
At the present high cost Of cleo
tricity. the plant which cost the city
in the neighborhood Of $4,000, will
be a great saving, the council esti-
mates. and in a comparatively short
time will have paid for itself.
Arrangement of Machinery.
The engine and generator( have
been installed in the northwestern
corner of the pumping station,
building, heavy foundation Of rein
forced concrete having been put in
to take up the vibrations Of the en-
CINE. The steam used will be sup
piled by the boilers that furnish
power for the pump, no enlargement,
of the boilers being necessary to
drive the new engine.
The power plant a .Nordber&,
unfold steam engine, single unit, and
the driving power to the generator is
thru a system OF gears, making the
plant more compact than We're q
drive used. All the equipment is of
the latest type and the city will have
thoroughly modern plant.
Old Plant Junked.
The city formerly had generator
at the pumping station to supply the
current for the street lighting, but
the plant became oselete, and was too
expensive to keep in repair. During
the war the council hesitated to put
so much money into a new plant,
and for some time has depended upon
the Iowa Railway and Light Com
pany for light.
I'd Andrews. son OF Mr. and Mrs.
George Andrews, who Is employed by
the firm manufacturing the engines
and generators, sold the plant to the
city. He, with his family are in the
city now, visiting at the George
Andrews home.

"What will it get you?'' The practical question often kills enthusiastic dreams, splendid aspira- tions. Often it is asked when the subject referred to is a higher edu- cation. Too often he who is ques- toned is silent Good reading. the drama, art music are deprecated in the light of inm ediate benefits de- sired.
 The subject becomes pertinent in the possible prospect of a return to New Britain or the play Last night local audience was pleased by light musical show. Probably there was nothing in it, however good it was that will bring inspiration now or in after years.

The statement cites the alleged facts that the export market for meat has gone to pieces because of the low foreign exchange rate and l that wholesale prices are back to their level of a year or two ago. as justification of their blame on the American consumer for the high prices.
 The packers presented their claims l in Washington this winter and the dearth of opposing witnesses was commented upon freely. Allegations were made that there were powerful
 reasons for this disnclination to fight
 the packers. The latters' publicity tended 10 place them in d light rather
 more favorable than that to which
 they have been accustomed. One is inclined To believe that the light shone pretty truly. despite "dilnmcrS'' ud- justed from outside the industry
 Now comes q Texas representative of livestock growing organiza tions ad- Nocatjng, before the House Agricui- tural committee. the virtual elimina- ton of the big packers from the meat industry. He would substitute small local and cooperative stockyards and slauS houses. This, he claims, would eliminate the economic loss in- volVed in the present method of trans porting cattle to packing ccnters and return of meat to the consumers
 Possibly the publicity referred to, and the rather satisfactory results the small consumer has experienced in patronizing the distant packer have had the desired effect.

He has rejected all pleas for a special session of the legisla ture rega ardless of the purpose asked and many causes other than suffrage rati- fication have been affected in recent months. prominently among them be- ing aid for service men and increa SC in teachers salaries.
 OnIy this week. in reply to queries from executives of other states, tele- grams were sent out from the gov ernor's office stating that he is ire Nocably opposed to calling a special session of the legislature to ratifN the constitutional amendment.

THF. CITY'S INCOME.

We have seen, in series of cdi- torials, where the Taxpayers differ 1 with the city on expenditures. the matter Of income should receive it's at tCntion. Needless to say there may he a wide divergence of opinions on income figures and the proposition is q trihC obscure, as many and varying claims may be made cuncerninG what our income is to be, while it may be seriously upset by any mum Der of hap pcninGS.
 In the main the figures i'll the two budgets agree. They differ, however, in rcga1ss tc the penalty tax, the fines and costs at jail, and the Taxpayers have included other alleged sources of income which has not been included by the city. The city estimates one thousand dollars on the penalty tax return, the TaNpay CTS say it will be two. NotWithstanding that the Spnkcsmcn for tn" Taxpayers argue that there should be less policemen and less spent oil the jail, because prohibition has done away with d great deal of crime: they have esti- mated that $I.250 will be forthcom- ing from fines and costs: the city cs- timateS $500.
 Fhc TaxpaNcrs have seen fit. in their search for moro income, to in Clude in their figures rebate on the salary of the Superintendent of Health of S5S3, claiming that the of fec hIs been vacant and that sum should not he figured in: they have al- lowed s7O.00O for collection of back taxes, approximately all the back taxes on the books, some of which never will be collected; $1.000 interest of the state grant and 5000 which was loft over frotA the old Home Wee!; celebration.
