Combing Won't Rid
Hair of Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid OF dan
druff h to dissolve it, then you destroy
II entirely. To do this, get about four
ounces OF ordinary liquid arvon; apply
It at night when retiring; use enough
to moistep the scalp and rub it in
gently with the finger tips.
Doc this tonight, and by morning
most if not all, of your dandruf will
be gone and three or four more APP
plications 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 viii stop at
once, and your hair win be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times better
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive and
never fails to do the work.

THINGS LOOK BRIGHTER
Kansas Banks Withdraw Federal Re

Commenting on the latest state
ment from the comptroller OF thu
currency on the condition of Kansas
natinal banks as Of April %, which
shows a decrease In the financial re.
sources Of the state, M. w. Bowman
secretary Of the Kansas Bankers As
sociatiOn, states this is due principal
ly to the withdrawal Of federal re.
serve currency and is a healthy sign
"There are four points which are
brought out in the banking condi-
tions Of the state today which are
encouraging as regards the finances
of Kansas" Bowman said.
"The present tendency Is for the
customers to liquidate the indebted
ness to the banks. The people who
have been borrowing money from
the banks are paying their debts.
"The banks are liquidating their
obligations to their correspondents
and to the federal reserve.
"The federal reserve currency Is
being withdrawn from circulation.
This means that the pressure brought
to bear by the needs Of the banks Is
being relieved as their customers IL
auidate, therefore the federal reserve
currncy is not so much In demand.
THAT is healthy sign. A boy with a
rich father is lucky to be able to call
upon his father for help. But 1t isn't
a good thing to be always calling on
the rich father.
"The fourth point is the fact that
the per capita deposits by custom
ers in banks Is on the increase"

WORK TO SUPPORT FAMILY
Many Mothers in Kansas Receive
Starvation Wages, Report Shows

Starvation Wages, Report Shows
Three e-fourths Of Kansas women In
industry work not merely to earn
"pin money for themselves but to
help support their families. This fact
is revealed by q recent survey con-
Quoted by the women's bureau Of the
United States department Of labor In
CO. operation with Miss Lima Bres-
ette, director Of women's work in the
court of Industrial relations.
The survey shows that 30 per. cent
are contributing all Of their earnings,
SO per cent give part Of their earn
ings, ranging from less than " to
more than $40 week, and 24.8 per
cent make no contribution to the
family and are independent Of, any
financial responsibility to the home.
Individual cases show that three
women receiving $50 to 50 week
are each supporting two children
which means three living on this
amount. One mother supporting four
children receives a weekly income OF
only SO to $40, and one woman
earning from $3.50 to $40 week
Ia supporting seven children.

SCHOOL BOOKS ARE READY
Dealers Are to Order Them to AvoiG
Rush

II school will begin earlier than the
book dealer can get school books for
the kids this fall, it's his fault, not
the state printers or the school book
commissions. The printer has them
completed and J. H. McIlhenny, Sec
retary Of the school book commission,
has them ready to ship out. It's up
to the dealer to order them.
Mr.. McIlhenny said that almost
every year there has been rush Of
orders during the first week Of school.
This caused congestion at the plant
and delay for the school children.
The state is then blamed for being
slow. He is going to urge all dealers
to send in orders before August IS,
especially the bonded dealers who do
not remit cash for them until Octo-
ber 1.
There is only one change in the
kind of books this year. Mace's be-
ginners' history will be substituted
for Gordy's which has been in use for
the past six years.

nsoRT0AoE DEBT INCREASES
Sis Per Cent of Kansas Farms Ows
Mortgages

The total number Of farmg operat.
ed by their owners In the United
States on January 1, 1920. according
to the fourteenth Census, was 3, 3,026,-
900. OF this number 1t Is estimated
on the basis Of the census returns
that 1,61f,378 or more than Al per
cent, were mortgaged and 2,3f3. 712

ures actually reported were 1,401,-

ed farms mortgaged. This makes
51.8 per cent Of the farms Of Kansas
mortgaged.

ed States operated by their owners
for which the amount Of mortgage
debt was reported in 1920, according
to the Fourteenth Census, was l.
193,878, as compared with 1,OO6,511

per cent, while the value of the mort
gagged farms increased 117.6 per cent
during the decade and their number,

mortgage debt of $70%|
s19,738 and in 1920 26,923 reported
a mortgage debt Of 1O9,914, AGA. The
value of farm land and buildings in
creased from $2s7,Os2,217 in 1910
to $424, 400, 464 in 1920. The ratio
of the debt to the value in 1910 was
PAT per cent compared to 25.9 per
cent In 1920 in Kansas and the aver
age interest rate here is 8 per cent.
The average value per farm In this
stat in 1910 was $9,430 and the

DID THEMSELVES PROUD
Boys Band Never Played Bette
Their Leader Declared

The Abilene Boys band returned
from Osborne where they covered
themselves with glory during the
three days engagement at the big
roundup held there last week. The
boys never played better, according
to their leader, Harold Royer. w. II.
Rasher. who accompanied them. said
they made a great hit with the
crowds who thronged Osborne to see
the roundup, rs well as with the
cowboys who participated In the ex-
hibition.
The Abilene Boys band was the
only one there and was q big part
of the attraction. They had q. glor-
ious time from start to finish. The
cowboys took them around after the
performances were over and when
ever opportunity presented itself took
pains to perform their acts near
where the band was sitting. Mr..
Rasher stated that the first day there
was a crowd Of about 1000 people
and the next two days the crowd
varied from 5000 to 5000. The boys
were paid 5000 for the three days
but owing to the heavy
expenses viii clear much less than
that. However, they advertised their
town and were a real credit to 1t be-
side getting lots Of fun out Of the ex-
perience. Tire trouble marred the
trip out but coming back they had
good luck all the way.

thousands of other documents which
are certified by the secretary Of state.
The new design will be an exact rep
lica Of the state house as 1t is today.
The present embossed design is

but it was prepared by the artist be-
fore the dome and central portions

But No One Was Hurt And Only
Slight Damage Done to Car

Jay Harding was driving home
from Detroit about 1880 Sunday
morning, on the Golden Belt road
when he saw ahead Of him a team
and wagon. The wagon stood partly
across the road and in order to avoid
1t he was obliged to swerve far to the
other side. Before he realized what
had happened he found his car In the
ditch, Mr.. Harding said and one
wheel broken so that he couldn't get
1t out. He was frightened he said
but not hurt and the damage to the

Some time ago woman In Abb

Chicago firm. She wrote her order
and bought at the local postoffice
$e.9s worth of postage stamps which
she enclosed in payment. Unfortu-

Chicago firm Is urging postal em-
ployees here to locate the sender Of
the unsigned order. a money order
or check would have provided the
necessary name but with stamps the
only means Of Identification is miss
ing and so far the woman has not
been located.
This Is but one Of many such In
