You gave unto me no glitering

Like jewels or rings,

Of feathery fans such as a knight

The worth of your gifts can never be
In silver or gold.
No scales can measure nor words de-

The good you did when your soul
wrapp'd mine
in its ampler fold.
You showed me a heaven and bade

Aye, love, you did more:
You gave me the wings to make the
Right.

FORMER AMARILLO BOY
HAS LOCATED AT CANYON
W. D. Howren, recently of XI
Paso, but who has just located at
Canyon, was In the city last evening
on business. Mr. Howren, who is a
former Amarillo boy, is a construe-
tion engineer and a son of A. S.
Howren, who is well known here.
Young Howren has been at work ex-
tensively in Old Mexico and will
doubtless get back there again when
the war cloud scatters. He has al-
seedy witnessed a few battles among
the various Mexican factions but was
not impressed that they were any-
thing so serious. In each instance
the soldiers fought largely from be-
hind breastworks and there were but
comparatively few killed compared
with the number engaged.
Mr. Howren came out recently
with the idea of bidding on the con-
struction of the West Texas State
Normal but the contract was let be-
fore he had time to get his bid
ready. -

ING HAIR OR. ITCHING SCALP
When your hair turns gray, tad-
nd, or streaked with gray, get from
any drug store about seven ounces
of old-fashioned liquid Q-Ban. Apply
to hair and scalp at night, like a
shampoo, rubbing it in gently with
the finger tips. Your hair will
then be beautifully darkened so ev-
enly and naturally that no one sus-
pects It has been applied. Although
not a dye, Q-Ban acta on the hair
roots and makes and keeps your
hair soft, fluffy, thick, giving the
hair that dark brown, fascinating
luster and abundance which makes
the hair so attractive. Q-Ban does
not cost much to try, is not sticky
or messy; harmless, and is a de-
lightful hair dressing and easy to
apply. Also stops dandruff, falling
hair or itching scalp. Ask drug-
gist for Q-Ban for darkening gray
hair. Your money back if it doesn’t
satisfy you In every way. Sold by
