You can enjoy a delightful sham-
poo with very little effort and for
a very trifling cost if you get
from your druggist a package of
canthrox and dissolve a teaspoon-
ful in a cup of hot water. This
makes a full cup of shampoo
liquid enough so it is easy to apply
It to all the heir instead of just
the top of the head. Your sham-
poo is now ready. Just pour a lit-
tle at a time on the scalp and
hair until both are entirely cov-
ered by the daintily perfumed prep-
aration that thoroughly dissolves
and removes every bit of dandruff
excess oil and dirt. After rinsing
the hair dries quickly with a fluf-

THURSDAY
production of cotton in certain zones
along the Texas-Mexican border has
caused considerable agitation to the
people of Cameron county which
is included in this zone according
to William West an attorney of
Brownsville who headed a delega-
tion to Austin and had a conference
with Governor Ferguson on the sub-
ject.
The secretary of agriculture has
asked for an appropriation of $500.-
000 to enforce a law which would
prohibit the production of cotton
within the area embraced in the
zones. This step is desired in order
to prevent an invasion of the pink
boll worm into Texas which pest has
already made its appearance at vari-
ous points along the border.
This worm is conisedred more de-
structive to cotton than the ordinary
boll weevil and by preventing the
production of cotton the secretary
of agriculture believes that an in-
vasion will b averted. Mr. West
said cotton is an important factor
in that section of the state there
being twelve gins and several mills
in Cameron county which would be
put out of commission in the event
the embargo Is made effective. The
governor is to give consideration to
the matter.

MANCHESTER June 15—(8y
Mail.) —The extraordinary rise in
cotton ptrees during the last few
days has caused serious concern
throughout the octton trade. Liv-
erpool attributes the rise to th*
tled-up conditions of the contract
market owing to the absence of
"hedge" and speculative selling (the
latter being prohibited) plus free
buying of futures and price fixing
ot call cotton by home consuming In-
terests and. of course the big rise
in America. Manchester and trade
buying orders have largely contribu-
ted to the spectacular upward move-
ment.
The Manchester Guardian has ob-
tained the opinion ot several experts
and quoted Sir Charles Mac Ara as
follows:
Only Seven Weeks Supply.
“I have been away tor about a
fortnight" he said "and on my re-
turn 1 find American cotton has gone
up three pence per pound'which is
equivalent to six pounds sterling per
bale. There is now only about seven
weeks supply ot American cotton in
stock in Leverpool.
"I must confess to a feeling of in-
tense disappointment that what I
have advocated for so many years
namely that those engaged in the
cotton industry should try to regu-
late their own affairs and meet crises
as they arise has not been acted
upon.
"I have always contended that
what was so successfully accom-
plished in 1904. when employers and
operatives came together and de-
cided to co-operate and face the then
existing crisis could be repeated in
1917. It appears to me that it the
thing is taken in hand energetically
tho intervention of the government
which otherwise seems inevitable
would be prevented. If the govern-
ment intervenes employers will have
to act at their dictation.
Must Run Halt Time.
“I have advocated the methods
adopted in 1904 but the policy ot
procrastination has now gone so far
that even more drastic methods will
be necessary than at that time.
"At the present time there are
many mills that would glady close
down and work on a forty-hour week
or half time but there will always
be a certain number who would take
advantage of a movement to safe-
guard the interests ot the industry
as a w hole.
"If the crisis is to be overcome
successfully there must be no ex-
ception. All mills must run on the
same basis.”
DISTRICT COURTS TO

It is the plan to have each of the

nal court in July and August trying

matters of mandamus or injunction

ing about thirty criminal cases. In
