Il use Nine. c. j. Walkers
preparations exclusively be-
cause l get results from them
that | am unable to get from any
other preparation" stated a well
known business woman the
other day.
The secret of the remarkable
success of Nine. c. j. Walkers
preparations is in the fact that
they were blended by the late
Madam c. j. Walker to reach
certain definite coalitions of the
hair, skin and scalp, and today,
after over thirty-five years on
the market, they are growing
Increasingly popular, and not
withstanding the fact that the
Company has always refused to
reduce the price on these goods,
they are still in demand every
where.
, Nine. c. J. Walkers Glossine,
although more than thirty-fve
years on the market, is still the
leader in its field. The reaso
for this is because it not only
serves as a scalp oil. but it gives
the hair that silky sheen and
natural gloss that is the delight
OF every woman.
Nine. c. j. Walkers Brown
Face Powder is not just another
Face Powder, but is the result of
years of experimenting to pro-
duce the perfect blend to impart
a velvetlike softness and at the
same time cooling and refresh
ing. Just the thing for these hot
days.

in the history of labor that insur-

feeted.
The Good Citizens Insurance
company withdrew from the local
insurance executives council and
effected a compromise with the n
gents representative, the CLIO.
The other three, The Louisiana In
dustrial, the Douglas and the I'm

union relative to working condit-
ions of their respective agents and
have placed a definite stamp of re-
lection upon the hopes for bargain
ing in this direction.
These three companies have re-
placed the striking agents and
have called in their field repres-
entative to carry on the business.
Special notices have been directed
to policy holders informing them
of the decision of the executive
and warning that the premiums
will have to be made as required
in the insurance contracts, but
only to the newly hired agents or
at the company's offices.
At the outset of the strike the
company officials asked the agents
what their desires we're. The a
gents refused to disclose this. in
forming the officials that negotla-
tons would have to go through the
CLIO, teir selected bargaining ag-
emit. Hundreds of dollars are being
spent to force the claims of both
the agents and the companies. A
flare of violence broke out when
several of the .scab' agents were
beaten by the strikers.

EAGLE MEMORIAL DORMITORY
AT BOYS TOWN

In the last three years $500
homeless boys were refused admit
tance to Boys Town, because lack
of dormitories to house them. I'm
til April /, 1910, Boys Town would
take care of only 200 boys. At this
time a new dormitory was COM
pleted which will house another
1875. This building was built by the
Fraternal Order of Eagles.
A few months ago Father Flan-
agan asked for aid in building new
dormitories, SO that he could take
care of more homeless boys. I'm
mediately the Grand Aerie of Eagles
adopted a resolution to build an
Eagle memorial dormitory at Boys
Town. This building is being paid
for by donations from Eagles. Sew
eral thousand dollars has already
reacred Conrad H. Mann's office.
Mr.. Mann is the managing organizer
of the Fraternal Order of Eagles,
and also head of the campaign for
raising money for Boys Town.
Any Eagle who has not contrib
uted can do SO by mailing or bring
ing their contribution to his aerie
home, or to the secretary, Anse
Harter We wish to thank all the
Eagles who have donated, and made
the Eagles memorial dormitory at
Boys Town reality.

Cation is a splendid, forceful speak
er, and left as challenge three
things to be accomplished in two
years when the seventy-frst an
n1VerSary or the rounding OF the
grange will be celebrated. They
were: First, at least one grange
member in every farm home in Nor
gan county. Second challenge was
for every granger to improve ap-
pearance of his home, if nothing
more than by planting Of flowers;
and the third challenge was to ever
be on the alert to see that we have
our rural representation in our law
| making bodies, and to not let the
control get in the big cities, in
which event the rural voice in mat
| ters Of legislation would be lost;
and also to keep the national farm
credit board out of politics. Deputy
