HELPING OUT
BY Walt Mason

Old Dad Spindle's years are 80, and
he toiled toward his shack, with a
bundle large and weighty nearly ruin
ing his back. l could see his vigor
dwindle as he labored up the road, SO
said, "Oh, CATER Spindle, let me
pack your heavy load" So heaved
it to my shoulder and it weighed half
ton, and felt cycle older when the
greyious task was done. But it gives
one satisfaction if at evening he can
say, Il have pulled a lofty action in
the progress of the day" When the.
shopworn sun is sinking and the hues
of daytime fade, by my banyan l sit
thinking of the boneheads / have play

The Chicago School Board Probe

The Investigation of the expenditures by the
Chicago school board reveals a shameless expen-
diture of the public funds for the benefit of
friends of the administration or of members of
the board.
One method of rewarding the faithful was
through insurance which the board placed on
every article imaginable in the school system.
Friends of the ones in power naturally wrote the
contracts and benefited directly from the trans
action.
Other revelations pertain to the letting Of
contracts and the buying of supplies, in which a
ruthless prodigality was practiced The public
did not benefit, but contractors and political
friends did in an amazing manner.
Chicago is learning the truth of these trans
actions now, and the revelation is making even
that city hardened as it is to political corrup-
ton, wonder at the brazen audaeity of the school
board.

The Michigan Highway

Residents of Fountain City and other towns
along state highway No. p, which is the thor
oughfare north to Michigan, and one that has
been traversed since pioneer days, have par
idonable amount of justification in demanding
1.-The permanent improvement of the highway.
At its best the route is far from being sat

make over it to marketing centers, and it con-
tributes little to the comfort of the motorists who

Try This If You
Have Dandruff

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This de-
stroys it entirely. To do this, Just get
about four onuces of plain ! liquid
arvon; apply it at night when 'retir-
ing; use enough to moisten 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 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, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop IN
stantly, and your hair will 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 four
ounces is all you will need. This
simple remedy has never been known
to ail.-Advertisement

aspects and gave some protection to
union funds. In 1906 the Trade Dis
putes Act exempted unions from civil
conspiracy laws and from responsible
ity for damages as result of acts
committed by laborers. Peaceful pick

were made legal.

FIRE CHIEF WILL
OPPOSE REMOVAL
Of STATION BEDS
O'Brien to Obey Orders, but
Promises Protest Says
Firen1en Need Cots.

T Mayor Shank will not take the beds
away from fremen without protest
from Fire Chief John j. O'Brien.
Il bow to the will of my superior
officer every time, said the chief to-
day. IN do what the mayor orders
me to do. If he says the beds go out,
out they go, but I'm going to recon-
mend to the mayor that he refrain
from having the board of safety issue
the order"
The mayor said he was going to
have the beds removed because he
felt the men ought to stay awake all
night since those are on the two
platoon system and the night shift
have all day off. He said he would
have card tables and other amuse-
ment devices installed to help the
men while away the dreary hours.
7 believe it is better to have the
men in bed at night than scattered
around the house half asleep, Chief
O'Brien said. In other cities where
beds were abolished they were put
back again because it was found the
men got away to a fire considerably
quicker when they had been in bed.
1t is far better for the morale of the
department for the men to get their
natural sleep at night.
