V i t- t : (i Above Mayor Thompson and Some of Below Mayor Thompson Meet REPAYMENT IS ASKED County Clerk Coffey Demands Restitution of Shortage. AMOUNT TOTALS $15,522 Official Acts in Accordance With Law Requiring That County Make Good Amount Lost by Prede- . ccssor in Bank Failure. County Clerk Coffey yesterday made a written demand on the County Com missioners, the County Treasurer and tho County Auditor to turn over to his account the amount of the shortage of Frank S. Fields, Mr. Coffey's predeces sor In office. This amounts to 15. 622.78 and was entirely from the liti gants' fund. The last Legislature enacted a law requiring the county to make good this loss to litigants, and it is in accord ance with this legislation that Mr. Cof fey is making the demand. The County Commissioners probably will obey the law by ordering the sum needed to be transferred from the general fund. When Mr. Fields left office he turned over to Mr. Coffey only 87.817.78 In the litigants' fund, whereas he should have turned over $103,340.81. Mr. Cof fey refused to make refunds to litigants and successfully resisted a mandamus suit against him. After the Circuit Judges of Multnomah County, sitting en banc, decided by a majority vote that the county should be held respon sible for the shortage, the Legislature passed a law giving the county offi cials the necessary authority. Mr. Fields lost tho money when the American Bank & Trust Company failed. In December, 1911. As soon as the necessary transfer has been made to Mr. Coffey for the benefit of the litigants' fund he will proceed, he announced yesterday, to re fund the sums due on various cases. The rule is that litigants must deposit in advance sufficient to cover all fees, and take refunds when the cases have been concluded. Ever since Mr. Coffey has been In office the 87,000 received from Mr. Fields has been drawing Interest at 2 per cent, and this interest money has been turned over every month to the county. It has amounted to about $5000. Tho county, therefore, will be out only a little more than $10,000. EFFICIENCY IS FORECAST GOOD FROM ETERY-ME1IBER CAN VASS IS EXPECTED.

The capi Combing; Won't Rid Hair of Dandruff The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve It, then you de stroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. Do this tonight, and by morning most, if not all. of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more appli. cations will completely dissolve and en tirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dand ruff you may have. Tou 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 better. Tou can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and never falls to do the work. Adv. BE PRETTY! TURN GRAY HAIR DARK Try Grandmother's Old Favorite Kecipe of Sage Tea and , Sulphur.

Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sago and Sulphur Compound," yon will get a large bottle of this famous old recipe for about 50 cents. Don't stay gray! Try it! No one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, aa it does it so naturallv ind evenly.
