BANDIT HOLDS UP

BANK; GETS $5,000
) 9
MISSES $20,000 IN THE VAULT
WHERE HE INTENDED TO LOCK
EMPLOYEES.
‘ Sk
York, Pa.J—A stranger walked in
to the Farmers’ State Bank at Ilal
lam just after banking heure ond
«gvering the cashier, Clarence Bi ss
ing, with a revolver, forced him to
hand over all the money in sight.
Then he backed the cashier and his
son Philip Blessing and Miss Iva
Fisher, bank employes, into the vault
and was about to lock them in when
‘he girl became hysterical and the
robber relented. He informed his
captives that if they would promise
to keep quiet twenty minutes he
would do nothing further. They
readily agreed and the fellow walked
away with a little over $5,000. Appar
ently he left no trace.
The quietness with which it was
accomplished is the marvel of the
police authorities here, for as late as
an hour afterward even bank direc
tors living in the town did not know
it had occurred.
Cashier Blessing says-that in the
vault was about $20,000 other cash
which the robber did not demand and
which he therefore missed.
Edward Smith, a former profes
gional baseball player, next day was
arrested at his home in Windsor.
Twenty-nine hundred dollars has been
recovered.
iN SWEDEN PEOPLE
ALL SPEAK GERMAN
~ London, Sept, 25.—1 n Sweden one
s disagreeably struck by the number
of people who speak German. When
asked a question in English, a Swede
be he a policeman or a civiliam, in
variably countered in German. At hot
els and restaurants few 'porters and
waiters understand or speak English
In book-shops English books and ma
gazines are few, while German z;re'
largly represented.
It is different in Norway, English
is taught at school, and nearly every
body one meets, from the porter at
the station, to one's neighbor at the
dinner table, speaks Ehglish .lfluently
The windows in the .b(i(;)k-sl'io'b'{s' are
full of English and ‘\ry?erig'an publi

CALVARY EXPEDITIONS WITH
BOMBING EXPEDITIONS
With the British in France, Sept 22.
—Qavalry operations in conjunction
with bombing airplanes is one of the
war’'s innovations. In one case an
aviator signalled that he had spotted
a train bringing up German reinforce
menfs. He made for it and dropped
a bomb 200 yards a head of the loco
‘mative demolishing the track. Then
he performed the same feat just be
hind the train, isolating it. The cava
jlary dashed up before the Germans
‘could get away and captured every
last man of them.
An officer telling of the incident
remarks that it resembled an Ameri
can film play inthe air.

Save your hair! Make it thick,
wavy, glossy and beautiful
at once.
Try as you will, after an application
of Danderine, you can not find a single
trace of dandruff or falling hair and
your scalp will not iteh, but what will
please you most will be after a few
weeks’ use, when you see new hair, 4ne
and downy at first—yes—but really
new hair—growing all over the scalp,
A little Danderine immediately doubles
the beauty of your hair. No difference
how dull, faded, brittle and scraggy,
just moisten a cloth with Danderine and
carefully draw it through your hair, tak
ing one small strand at a time. The
effect is immediate and amazing—your
hair will be light, fluffy and wavy, and
have an appearance of abundance; an
incomparable lustre, softness and luxuri
ance, the beauty and shimmer of true
hair health. ‘ %
Get a small bottle of Knowlton’s
Danderine from any drug store or toilet
counter, and prove that your hair is as
pretty and soft as any—that it has been
neglected or injured by careless treat
ment. A small trial bottle will double
the beauty of youy hair, _ e

Atlanta, Oct. 24—The United States
iovernment, next Sunday, October 27,
will set back the clocks of the rail
roads one hour, thus marking the
close of the daylight saving plan until
next spring. Some have advocated on
(hoir enthusiasm, the continuous use
of the daylight saving plan throughout
the year. But this would force the
people to rise so early in the morning

Look out for your cotton seed meal for Spring fertilizer re
quirements! Whether you buy from us or not we advise you to .
seeure your requirements at once.
Ammoniates of every kind are going to be very hard to get.
The large fertilizer concerns ave very anxious buyers of cotton
sced meal, in fact, they are taking all that is offered them. Our
Government has asked us to give our local eustomers an oppor
tunity t({ get their requirements locally, to avoid as far as possible
the double hauling and handling that necessarily has to be done
where our local people fail to get their meal before it is all shipped
away. e o gTR
1t is our purpose to put you in possession of the facts, and
we trust vou will avail yourself of the opportunity.
Our Government, in addition to asking us to give you a
chanee to buy yvour meal locally, has asked us to finance ourselves
locally. To de this we will have to ship our produets as made.
We cannot secure sufficient funds to carry the stocks that we
have been in the habit of carrving, therefore, it will be unwise t%
put off buying your meal. ' ‘
We believe a word to the wise is sufficient.

tric lights to dress and eat breakfast
by, and conservation of light is one
of the prime war necessities. The
result would probably be to throw the

has been figured out by experts, and
