Monon Boy With Pershing On Villa Raid In Mexico.

' Roy Ward, son of Mrs. Clara Ward, of Monon, is serving in the U. S. army under General Pershing and is now one of those who are really helping to catch Villa. He has written which The Monon News makes a long article. Roy expresses the feelihg, evidently general with the soldiers who have been in training along the border, that they will soon get to fight Villa. He writes in one letter as follows: “We expect to have trouble after our next camp and everybody is anxious to dig into them and one thing sure is that we are going to give them a good whipping. Of course, they will get some of us, but that is a soldier’s chance and everybody is willing to take his chance. We expect Villa to move in toward his old camping ground and when all the troops get together we will move right in on him. We have civilian guides with us who were raised in this country and they know it like a book and they say that is where Villa will head for. That is about 350 miles from the border the way we have to go.” In one of his letters Roy enthusiastically said: “Where we will go or how long it will take we do not know, but we will get Villa before we come back or whip the whole of Mexico.”

Son of David Heath Meets Death Near Oxford.

Joseph P. Heath, son of David Heath, of Oxford, met ’ a~horrible death Thursday afternoon at 3:30 o’clock by suffocation in a bin of oats on his father’s farm two miles east of Oxford. Young Heath was 22 years of age. It is believed that he slipped into hin -of oAts. which was in the barn and fell head first, the oats covering him so that he could not extricate himeslf. Jacob Dienhart, who works on the farm, was in the bam at the time and as soon as the accident happene4 he went to Heath’s help and soon had him extricated from the oats. Two doctors were summoned but they were unable to revive him. His mouth was full of oats, showing that in his last gasps for breath he literally choked himself to death. He was married ten months ago to Miss MnNamee, a school teacher at Oxford and they were living on his father’s farnl.

George Ade Tells Why He . Never Secured Female Boss.

u Boston Transcript;. George Ade, the man who writes the “Fables in Slang,” says he had often been asked why he never marr'ed. “I came very near marrying once. The girl was very beautiful, and I sat down at my typewriter to propose to her in a passionate love poem. The first line, of the poem ended with ‘cupid.’ I made a thorough search, but found that the only word that rhymed with ‘Cupid’ •is ‘stupid.’ This made me hesitate—and I’ve hesitated ever since.”

Carroll’s Trial Set For Monday—Will Return Here.

Sheriff McColly has received a letter from Milwaukee, Wis., which states that the trial of Sam Carroll, who is charged with having removed a mortgaged automobile from that state, will take place next Monday. April 3rd. The letter states that Carroll hopes by that date to have made arrangements to pay off the indebtedness and the expenses incurred and if he does this it is inferred that he will not be-prosecuted^ - He stated to the person who had written to Sheriff McColly that he would return here. Carroll’s arrest, it should be understood, so that he will not suffer any buisrtess injury in consequence of a misunderstanding, was not for stealing the car, as was first published, but for having taken it from the state when it was mortgaged. It is the belief of Carroll’s counsel that he did not know he was violating any law when he came here. He had worked in large garages in Milwaukee and knew many persons who toured from that city through Rensselaer and met and talked with a number of them and evidently never tried to cover up his identity in any manner. His acquaintances here hope that he is able to raise what money is needed to get him put of trouble.

HOW TO GET RID OF CHRONIC DANDRUFF

The only sure way to get permanently, rid of dandruff is to remove the conditions that cause it and then keep the hair and scalp in a clean, healthy, vigorous state so dandruff will never return. This beats shampoos, which merely remove the dandruff for a few days at most. ■-» B. F. Fendig now strongly recommends Parision Sage, a haomless, inexpensive and quick acting preparation, that is guaranteed to act directly on the cause of dandruff and entirely remove it or the purchase price will be cheerfully refunded. Here is a test no one shculd fail to try. Get from your druggist a package of Parisian Sage. Rub a little of it into the scalp with the finger tips and see for yourself how the dandruff disappears, the hair stops falling out and all etching immediately ceases. Nothing hurts the hair more than dandruff, so why not begin using Parisian Sage today and be forever rid of it?
