CAPTAIN GARMfillS. I

BORN 111 WAYNE, HAD INTERESTING CAREER

KOROMO, Ind Jan. 27-Capt. Mllon Garrlgua, 83 year Old, one of the oldest and moat prominent residents in Kokomo, former commander ot the O. A. R. and state senator, ., and ..widely known throughout the state, died at his home here late Sunday night after three days' ilness with pneumonia. Capt Oarrlgus lived an exceedingly ptcturesque life. Born in a log cabin Sept. 27, 1831, in Wayne County, Indiana, he saw this section of Indiana boom from a wilderness of swamps and forrests into one of the most productive farming districs in the country. Capt. Garrlgua, by a great deal of painstaking labor, developed into a fair English scholar. When he was 21 years old he moved to Howard county, where he has . been a resident ever since. , Capt. Oarrlgus staked out his first claim in Howard County, in 18447. keeping batchelor's hall in a primitive log cabin, until his father's family came from Wayne County. . In 1861 ' Capt. Oarrlgus resigned as postmaster of Greentown to enlist as a private in the Civil War. With 400 others he was made prisoner at Perryvile, Ky., in 1862. . In 1864 he returned home on a furlough and organized a regiment and was commissioned captain. He won high praise as an officer. While in the army he was war correspondent for several papers. In 1900, a.t the age of 70, he married Marie Thomas, . a girl of 20 . The unusual marriage attracted nation-wide attention. To this marriage four children were born, three of whome are living -' Capt. Garrigus had long made the boast that he would live to be 100 years old. Last September, on his 88th birthday, he took his first airplane ride.

AUSTIN, Texas, January 1 ' When it comes to making money, cotton pickers are in a class by them

selves this season. In many instances

families are making as much as $40 and as high as $60 a day. It all depends on how many there are in the family. There is such a scarcity of

cotton pickers this year that the price

has gone up from $1 a hundred pounds to $3 a hundred pounds. Not many years ago pickers were satisfied with 75 cents a hundred pounds. Many pickers are able to gather 400 pounds pounds of cotton a day, and it is not unusual for children who are barely in their teens to pick an average of 300 pounds a day. Not only are farmers paying the record-breaking price of $3 a hundred pounds for picking the staple but they also are scouring the state for men, women and children for the work. The transportation of the pickers to and from the farms is paid and in some cases board is given by the planters. Whites Go Into Fields. In former times It was regarded beneath the dignity of a white person to pick cotton. That work was left to negroes and Mexicans. But this year, on account of the alluring compensation and the shortage of labor, thous

ands of white families may be seen

working in the fields plucking the fleecy staple. With the labor now available it will be two or three months before the crop is harvested. This is particularly true of tho western part of the state where an extraordinarily heavy yield was obtained and where labor is naturally scarce.

With the negro element, cotton-

picking time is a season of outdoor

frolic. They seem to take naturally to the work, notwithstanding its ard-

uousness. As soon as the cotton

bolls begin to open the negroes flock

into the country by the thousands from the cities and towns, and remain until they have obtained a surfeit of enjoyment and a plethora of purse.

MORE Negro Preachers Active. In nearly every community the negro preachers take advantage of the temporary prosperity of the members of their race to hold camp meetings at which collections are taken up for the benefit of the clergy. At these camp meetings the emotional negroes "get religion." Other negroes spend the nights dancing and carousing, and the older, staid set get enjoyment visiting around and indulging in such gossip as may come to their ears. It is expected that the revenue de

rived by families of negroes and Mejr1

leans during the cotton picking season will enable them to tive in comparative luxury throught the winter months. Most ot them, particularly those who make their homes in town.

will do no work until they shall have spent all the money obtained from cotton picking. The servant problem in Texas this season is the worst ever known. It is almost impossible to get servants of any kind. Wealthy society women find it necessary to go back to the waBhtub, and the head of the house is getting that exercise which Is good for him by chopping his own wood. Call Has Little Response. The nation-wide call for 50,000 cotton pickers for western Texas, that was issued a few weeks ago, has met with very little response. It is a practical impossibility to obtain Mexican laborers from the Rio Grande border points. It is estimate that of the probable 2,800,000 bale crop of cotton for Texas this season, more picked. It takes about 1,600 pounds of seed cotton to make a 500 pound bale of ginned cotton, the seed funning about 1,000 pounds to the ginned bale. One million bales of cototn still to be picked means that there are approximately 2,00,000 pounds of the staple in the field at this time. At SJa 100v pounds the cost of picking thig remainder of the crop will be about $9,000,000. Considerable uneasiness on the part of cotton growers Is felt over the seed situation for next year's crop. It is said that on account of the protracted rainy period most seed is ruined for planting purposes. It is even rejected by the cotton-seed oil men as being unfit for the manufacture of oil and cake. " The rains have also "weather damaged" cotton to a great extent, and while the top price is 42 cents a pound, much of the staple is of such inferior grade that It sells for much less than the maximum.

SALOONS CLOSE SATURDAY.

NEW YORK, Jan. 27. New York's 3,000 saloons will go out of existence next Saturday at midnight with the expiration of the short term certificates Issued last October by the state excise department in lieu of licenses. There is no profession for further licensing except to the drug btores. Licenses have been granted to 259 drug stores in Manhattin, according to the excise department and 100 of these were issued in the last ten days.

There is one sure way that never fails to remove dandruff completely and that Is to dissolve it. This destroys It entirely. To do this. Just get about four ounces of plain, ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely digsolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have. You will find, too, that all itching

and digging of the scalp wfll stop in

stantly, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better.

xou can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive, and four ounces is all you will need. This

simple remedy has never been known.
