THE CRUCIAL TIME.

The country's reached an evil pass,
and there is worse to follow; this re-
adjustment stuff, alas, is pretty hard
to swallow. So speak the jays, in
doleful bands, who grunt and grumble
daily; throughout their lives they
wiring their hands, and murmur.
"Willow-waly!" But wise men say
that bitter times are just what we
are needing; we are learning now to
prize the dimes we used to blow I'M
needing We used to spend our coin
in base, for all the junk they'd dish
US; we're learning now that wanton
waste is foolish, vain and vicious. We
had to learn that much of truth, and
heal the spendthrift canker, and take
our earnings to the booth where
dwells the village banker; we had to
learn this sort of dope, and quit our
money burning, before there could be
any hope of stable times returning.
We're getting down again to tacks,
we cease our spendthrift rawlings, and
YOU may see us making tracks to salt
away our savings, When we are seedy,
sick and sore, it takes strong dope to
cure US; and now Good Health is at
the door, the wise old lads assure us.
The medicine we have. to take may
seem a trifle bitter, but what's the
diff if it will make each gent healthy
critter?

For Federal Economy

Friends of a budget system and all supple
mentary measures of economy in the federal gov
eminent are reported to be facing battle in
Washington" says the Chicago Tribune. An
attack upon the plan of single committee on
appropriations in the house and an effort to re-
store the old system of dividing appropriations
among several committees is looked for in Re-
publican caucus which has been called.
Pork barrel congressman are expected to
make desperate battle for the system which
will divide responsibility with the division of ap-
preparations and thereby improve the chances of
slipping in pork measures. Against them will be
Chairman Good of the appropriations committee
and other supporters Of the budget system
"Real economy in appropriations and govern
ment expenditures cannot be effected unless all
appropriation bills originate in single commit
tee,' says Mr.. Good No one familiar with the
workings of congress- seriously questions this
contention
"Mr. Goods contention is correct but that
will not prevent opposition to it if such opposition
gives promise of new postoffice at Hick Center
or fat dredging and draining job at Simpsons
Slough. A battle is assured every time the pork
barrel system is menaced in any point. The tax
paying constituents of congressman who will be
involved in this clash will save money by making
their moral support clear to those who defend
the single committee to those who support the
budget system"

Simple Way To
End Dandruff

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
finger tips.
j. 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
single sign and trace of it, no matter
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,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and
feel hundred times better.-Adver-
tisement.

College Failures

Record breaking enroments in the univer-
sites and colleges of the country last autumn
indicated the desire of thousands of young men
and women to obtain the benefits of education.
Hardly an institution of higher learning in the
United States that could accommodate the influx
of students. Dormitory facilities were lacking
and not enough teachers to conduct classes could
be obtained. A big boom in the educational
world was on. Is
Reports from some universities and colleges
show that the boom is beginning to subside.
Many students had enrolled because they be-
lieved they could obtain diploma without
months of hard study, but when the examina-
tions were held they found out how badly mis-
taken they were. In some universities the influx
of students was so great that the authorities had
to employ part-time instructors who took little
interest in the progress of their students, which
became apparent at examination time. In other
institutions it was found that some members of
the faculty had become so old that they were
unable to hold the young mind, condition which
also was disastrous for the student. And in
other institutions, outside attractions, such as
athletic contests, campaigns to raise funds, ETC.,
so distracted the minds of the students that it
set them far back in their studies.
Five thousand failures at Ohio university this
year, out of which 500 will mean the termination
of their scholastic work at that institution, is
regarded by authorities as the record for that
