CroWdina Insects.

Man, calling himself the master OF
nature, may yet be involved in a life
and-death struggle with insects for pos
session of the globe-and in some
ways scientists declare insects are bet
ter fitted than men for survival on
earth. Baked beans at dollar Il por-
toni Is the plebeian bean TO be
driven from Its present democratic
company into the ranks OF the aristoc.
racyi This possibility Is suggested oy
the recent invasion of the southern
portion of the United States by the
Mexican bean beetle, bandit pest OF
the first magnitude that now has
gained n firm foothold and Is already
at work In a limited territory, under
mining natural resources with such
telling effect that the final outcome Is
a matter OF grave concern. Beans OF
all kinds are being attacked by this
bandlt-a kind of ladybug-and entire
crops are being wiped out.

RECEIVED DOLE FROM ENEMY
Irish Irreoulars Stopped in the hid
die Of Fighting to Draw Their
Unemployment Pay.

For several years the unemployed
in Ireland, as In Britain, have been
receiving government dole weekly,
relates Mall Roman in the Outlook.
The provisional government has con-
tinued this. Despite the dlfiicunIes
of distributing 1t during the recent
trouble, It was very anxious that II
should not be stopped, lest any ex-
cuse should be given for looting.
One OF the district offices was there
fore opened-not more than 20 yards
from Morans hotel, an Irregular
stronghold, now destroyed. After sew
eral hundred men had quietly entered,
undlsmayed by the rife fire from the
national and rebel forces outside, and
signed for and received their money,
seven republicans came calmly across
from the hotel, showed that they were
entitled to payment, were paid, and
returned to their duties as enemy SOL
dlers of the government whose money
lay In their pockets.

Osborn Woman's
Club Holds Last
Meeting on June |


The Osborn Woman's club has set
aside the evening of June / for their
last entertainment of the season, and
present indications are that they will
have one of the most successful and
delightful evenings of the entire club
year.
Among other good things in store
for those who attend will be a clev-
erly acted two-act dramatic comedy
entitled THE Fascinating Fanny
Brown" Coached by Mrs. Earl
Dwight Easley the club members par
ticipating are already up in their
parts and under her competent di-
rection they will present an enjoyable
and entertaining home talent play to
their admiring friends
The play will be held in the Osborn
school, one week from tonsorrow
night, and the public will be cordial
ly welcomed. Funds made on the
play will be used in the club public
welfare work during the coming year.
That Mrs. J. A. Rountree thorough
ly enjoyed every moment of the time
she spent in Phoenix while her hus-
band was carrying out his duties as
director general of the Bankhead and
National highway associations, is
evidenced by the following clipping
from the Birmingham Age Herald, in
which she tells of her delight in the
Golden West:
I'VE We're in Phoenix most of the
time, and | learned to love its clear
skies and starlit nights, it's big sur
rounding mountainS-rose colored in
the mornings, purple blue at eventide,
and to enjoy its live giving atmo-
sphere with all the fervor and en-
thusiasm of a native born; but best
of all loved its people. They are
so whole hearted. so cordial, so un-
selfishly thoughtful of a new conner.
There is nothing quite like the Ari-
zona handshake.
I'm fact, there is nothing that ]
have ever experienced quite like Ari-
zona, where neighbors living rs or
100 miles away, are real neighbors,

the day and returning home in time

that is exactly what they do. | know,

Try This If You
Have DandruH

There is one sure way that
never fails to remove dandruff
completely and that is to dissolve
it. This destroys it entirely. To
do this, just get about four
ounces of plain, ordinary liquid
arvon; apply it at night when re-
tiring; 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 en-
tirely destroy every single sign
and trace of it, no matter how
much dandruff you may have.
You will find. too, that all itch
ing and digging of the scalp will
stop instantly, and your hair will
be fluffy. lustrous, glossy, silky
and soft, and look and feel hun
dred 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 fail.
