Washing Won't Rid Head of Dandruff The only sure way to get rid of dan druff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when, retoiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gen tly 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 entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dan druff 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, lus trous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and never fails to do the work. Adv. BISHOP PADDOCK AT COVE Portland Prelate Occupies Pulpit at Ascension Ciiureli. COVE. Or., April 4.

JAIL PENALTY ASKED Livestock Men Say Meat Com bine Crushes Them. MANY FEED LOTS EMPTY Ex-Governor of Kansas Says "I incs Are Jokes" and That Producers and Consumers Pay Them. Competition Is Denied. WASHINGTON, April 4. A former Kansas Governor, W. R. Stubbs, and a former Missouri judge, W. H. Wal lace, who said they had learned by raising cattie themselves that meat packers, by price-fixing combinations, were crushing livestock growers, pleaded' with a House judiciary sub committee today to aid in inaugurating sweeping reforms in the packing In dustry. They appeared as counsel for Western growers and feeders. Speaking on the Borland resolution, now before the subcommittee, which would order a Federal Trade Commis sion inquiry to determine whether the packers are violating the anti-trust laws, they indorsed the proposal strongly and suggested making 'laws prohibiting the restraint of trade in foodstuffs generally more stringent. Jail sentences instead of fines were particularly urged. . "Fines are jokes," Mr. Stubbs de clared. "They are not effective. The producers and the consumers pay the penalty. Anyone who juggles with th prices of food when millions are strug gling for bread should be imprisoned and not fined. Feed Lots Declared TCmpty. "Forty per cent of the feed lots in this country are empty becaifse of present-market conditions. Nearly every stockman that I know believes that there is a packers" trust." Mr. Wallace, who prosecuted the James train robbers, heatedly de nounced the alleged packing combina tion. "We are after a worse crowd now than the James boys," he declared. "These fellows steal more money in a week than the James boys did in their whole careers. i On one occasion, the judge asserted. he received only one bid on a bunch of cattle at the Kansas City yards, and learned later 'that they were di vided between -two packing concerns. Arthur Meeker, vice-president of Ar mour & Co.,, questioned the accuracy of the judge's statement regarding one buyer for two houses. Walter L. Fish er, attorney for the American National Livestock Association, injected the dec laration that he would be able to prove that such a practice was not uncom mon. Cattle Divided by Parkers. "Fisher produced a sales slip from the Kansas City yards, which, he de clared, showed that one buyer had bought SS cattle from a raiser and that Morris & Co. and the Cudahy Packin Company had divided them equally. i ne session was enlivened ty ex changes between Mr. Fisher and" Mr. Meeker over the proposal of the pack ers to submit their books to the De partment of Agriculture to prove that they are not making an unfair profit and the counter proposal of the pro ducers that a tribunal with subpena powers make the examination. Once Mr. Meeker declared that he was will ing to. have an inquisitorial body with subpena powers conduct the examina tion, but later insisted on his original proposal of leaving the proposed in vestigation to the Department of Ag riculture. M. L. McClure. of Kansas City, presi dent, of the National Livestock Ex change, testified that restricted com petition was responsible for the fail ure of cattle raisers to make money. $1.50 ROW NOW $200 SUIT Supreme Court lieverses Decision and Orders Case Back to Trial.

SUFFERING IS KEEN Hardships of Antarctic Ex plorers Graphically Told. AURORA'S RUDDER CRUSHED Shortage of Fuel Prevents General Use of Condenser, and Water Runs Short Sulphuric Acid Vscd to Cut Down Ice. LONDON, April 4. The account of the voyage of the Shackleton Antarctic auxiliary steamer Aurora, published here today, reveals in a more graphic way than the earlier accounts the suf ferings of the party on board from cold, hunger and lack of water and coal. The pressure of the ice pack on the vessel for months was so severe that many times the party was on the point of abandoning the ehip and taking to the sledges. As to the loss of tne rud der, the account says: "Heavy floes. 10 feet thick, closed in on us, nipping the vessel fore and aft. The force must have been tremendous, for the steel-bound rudder, weighing six tons, was bent over to starboard and twisted like a corkscrew. We thought the end had come." Snow I'aed for Cooklnjr. The problem of getting fresh water was solved in various ways. While the vessel was frozen in the ice and drift ing northward at the rate of two miles a day, the steward used to go out on the ice and scrape a thin layer of enow for cooking purposes. A condenser was also used, but the shortage in fuel pre vented its general employment. On one occasion J. R. Stenhouse, first officer of the Aurora, wrote in his diary: "I am afraid the ship's back will break if the pressure continues. We have poured a carboy of sulphuric acid on the ice astern in the hope of rot ting the ice and relieving the pressure on the stern post." During May of last year there was a long spell of fine weather, although the vessel was still frozen in and in some danger. On moonlight nights the crew played football on the ice, although the games often were interrupted by a sud den fear that the pressure of the ice was threatening the ship. FlKhtlnK Blizzards Frequent. As the ship drifted farther north ward, the ice conditions grew better, although the weather was punctuated by frightful Antarctic blizzards. The food supply grew lower and lower, but occasional chances were offered for the killing of seals ana penguins, which made welcome additions to the food stores. At times the food was so short that only two meals were served daily. The crew made constant efforts, but without result, to communicate with various stations. As late as March 10 the Aurora had a narrow escape from being crushed between icebergs. On March 14 she cleared the ice in latitude 64:27, longitude 161:16. Cashmere Man Out for Sheriff. WENATCHEE.
