sions of which he is president, getting
$1,000 more than the Board of Budgets
allowed it in the West Texas Confer

"and about $4,000 to run them. We
asked $4,000 and the budget cut us
to s17,610, then revised it, cutting off
the 500. We need more money and
my question is, shall we take it from
the pockets of these preachers max
ing 500 or $500 a year, dollars ct
a time, or shall we take it a few
cents at a time from the 1900 odd
members of the conference?"
Il move you," he declared in ring
ing tones, "that the assessment be
raised to $4,000"
The motion received seconds from

The only sure way to get I'D of
dandruff is to dissolve it. then you
destroy il entirely. To do this, get
about four ounces Of ordinary liquid

ing; use enough to moisten the scalp
and rub it in gently with the finger
tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning.
most IL not all. of your dandruff will
be gone and two or three more ap-
plications will completely dissolve and
entirely destroy every single sign and
trace Of it, no matter how much
dsndruff you may have.
You will find. too, that all itching
and digging Of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times bet
ter.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store and it never fails to do
the work.

AS ASSASSIN FIRES
ON SAN ANTONIAN

He would thank the man who shot

assassin may try again.
And until he brings charges of as
sault to murder against the man, he
will let his gratitude rest. he says.
Benny was fired upon at close

cape.
The officers failed to find the
