People ShOuh "''''s :
Right to Vote on
Road Bond Issue

With two or three exceptions o.
body of men assembled Friday
night numbering about 30, voting
unanimously expressing confidence
in the board of county commission
ers and saying by their vote they
believed the commissioners should
call the proposed bond election and
let the people pass upon the mat
ter.
The proposed bond issue has
been discussed in the county until
almost every citizen is acquainted
with it, the election notice must
run for month prior to the elec-
ton and within that time every
voter will have opportunity to ac-
quaint himself thoroughly with
the points at issue and can cast
an intelligent vote expressing his
judgment.
There are many people who want
the matter submitted. The cost
of submission to the people will
not be large and it does look
reasonable that the people have
the right to pass upon the matter
for themselves. It matters not
how they vote, they have that
right.
The people have reserved to
themselves the right of passing
upon bond issues. That right
does not belong to the county Of
ficers nor to any one set of citi-
Zens. When the commissioners
have called the election, when
they have Informed the people Of
the issues involved, then they have
done their duty and the rest Of
the transaction belongs to the
people as a whole and the ballot
box is provided then as medium
by which they can express their
choice.

Beauty Chats
AN EGG SHAMPOO.
By EDNA KENT FORBES

The woman who realizes the value of an egg shampoo for her scalp, must eventually have beautiful hair. Theee are few treatments more effec- tiv than. this for beautifying and inn proving the hair.
 Some people will tell you that it is necessary to use three to six eggs for : an egg shampoo. This is a foolish days. One egg is sufficient for any ordinary head of hair, two eggs for even the thickest hair.
 Beat up the egg until 1t IS quite light, yolk and white together. Rub this into the scalp and cover the hair as thoroughly as possible.
 Let it dry in.
 It will take 30 minutes or more and it may feel rather sticky and messy. The egg dris over the scalp and ab- sorbs all the oil and dirt and grease and dandruff so that when you begin your shampoo you have no trouble in making the scalp absolutely clean. Everyone knows that it is impossible to wash all the dandruff from the scalp witI plain soap and water shampoo.
 Wash off the egg with warm water and any good mild soap, castillo or tar for preference. Use soap over the scalp at least twice and three times if you have been using oil tonic. Rinse with water a little hotter than several times. It is not so hard to rinse the soap from the hair when you have first used an egg. If you can dry your hair in the sun so much the better. You will have a beauti- fully clean scalp and soft glossy hair which will be benefited by the sul- phur in the egg.
 M W. T.: M. G. K; F.:-When the shoulders and back are too stout it shows the whole body is overweight and general reduction will correct this. Exercises will help. but reduc- tiCn is the real solution. Deep breath ing, which fills the lower part of the lungs. will exercise all the muscles of on the ribs and shoulders. For the bust formula, send a stamped, ad- dressed envelope.
 Worried Consult doctor about this oppressive sensation. It is quite possible that you merely have indi- gestion, which will often mislead people into thinking they have heart , trouble.
 Oc. L.:-Massage the legs each night with cocoa butter, which will nourish the tissue.
 Reader: Stenographer:-If you are 3between 20 and 24 years of age, your weight is correct; if older, add one :. half of a posnd for each year. Yeast cakes are not fattening in themselves, but they may be helping other foods fatten, since they provide vitamines and keep the system in better work ing condition.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES


The following deserves nucheredit on III.
part Of Harold Helgeson, High School stu
dent. who composed it.
WAR AND MfLITARISM
The curtain has fallen The actors on the
worlds stage are shut from view. Even a.
renaissance sent the dark ages down in obifv.
ion, even as light conGuers darkness and love
conquers dispair, the conflict between right
and wrong. between conviction of brotherhood
and the STEERING evils Of rnilitarisrn have end.
ed Wrong fades before the glance of des-
tiny. the enivitable claims it for its own
The last struggle is over and the divine right
has conquered As the curtain went down
we were so much in awe of what had hap
pened that for three years we could not tell
what il all meant. Today its meaning lies
before Us as on virgin page. We realize
that out Of the complex riddle of evil good
buried its self IN its own horror. and that
war Is slowly but surely doing the same
Militarism has existed ever since man knew
right from wrong, ever since the opinions of
men have differed. ever since war has ben
the nations method of settling quarreis, ever
since the fendish Cato conceived the fall of
Carthage. The men of that great race have
no one TO thank for the doom of their city
but themselves. They courted the imps of
war and paid the penalty. When the Roman
Ambassador Nstood before the Carthagenian
Senate he said, II hold peace and war in the
folds of my toga. which shall / shake out 70
your and when the Carthagenians yelled
out war. they got it, and today their bones
rotting in the desert of Northern Africa,
beneath its cold pale stars, remains their only
monument.
On the morning of the sixteenth century
Spain was the most powerful nation on earth.
All the land between the North Sea and the
Mediterrean trembled under the power and
onslaught of her armies. She rose to supreme
power but she fell. She put Africa in shack
les but Bolivar led his people out Of bondage.
She rose slowly and laboriousy but her fall
echoed and re-echoed throughout all Europe
like thunder clap.
It was unlocked for. but when it came all
the nations spurned her with scorn. Militar-
ism had put that misguided nation on the
throne of power only to hurl her to the bot
tom. Many centuries have passed but Spain
has never fully recovered from the shdck
her people have become so treacherous that
they barred from the society OF all nations.
The yellow ensign of power has slowly. faded.
until today the evil of despotisn has been
placed upon the throne. And through the
misss of the future there shines not one
optomste ray of hope.
The late Germanic vision Of militaristie
power was born in the minds Of the ancient
German mobiles, in the first part Of the nine
teenth century, when they founded the origin
al German confederacy from the chaos of the
several states Just after the memorable Ma
poleon fell. Even the warm veins of blood
on the battlefields of Waterloo were cooling
the Great German Empire. with the Hohen-
