Games were played awhile to amuse the children until Santa Claus arrived when he astonished every one that knew him for he was real quiet and forgot to talk, which was something new for the South Canaan Santa to do. The children all received presents, candy and oranges. and went home happy that Santa remembered them, even if he could not see to read the names on the presents. In one part of the pro- gram Santa represented Absalom, by getting his whiskers caught in the tree, and had to cut the ends of them off with pair of scissors which he carried to take the presents off with. The South Canaan Church should extend a vote of thanks to Miss Willard, and also Miss Ruth Bosworth, for their untiring efforts to give the children a good time.

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence Of a neglected
scalp; of dandruff-that awful scurf.
There is nothing SO destructive to

Of its luster, its strength and its very

If not remedied causes the hair roots

tonight--now--any time-will surely
save your hair.
Get 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any store, and after
the first application your hair will
take on that life, luster and luxuriance
which Is SO beautiful. 1t will become

WINTER PASTURE CROP
Inquiry for Legume to Fin I'm.

Bur Glover Belongs to Medicago Fam

falfz---Seems Well Adapted to
Cotton Territory.

Many southern farmers have long
felt the need of winter crops for pas
ture purposes and soil improvement
As the ability of legumes to secure
nitrogen from the air becomes more
generally understood. the greater is
the inquiry for a winter legume that
will fill these important needs. South
ern bur clover, or winter bur clover.
as 1t is sometimes called, meets these
requirements remarkably well. 1t Is
easy to grow, is adapted to many kinds
OF soil, and to begin its growth in a
small way does not require much ex-
perience
Bur clover Is not true clover, but
belongs to the Medicago family, being
closely related to alfalfa. The plant
is native of southern Europe and
western Asia. 1t is low, spreading
annual that readily reseeds itslef when
left alone and spreads slowly over old
fields and pastures. 1t is easily de-
stroyed in cultivated crops and need
not prove troublesome weed to the
farmer.
Bur clover seems to be adapted to
any territory In which cotton can be
raised. and 1t grows in all the Gulf
and South Atlantic states. If plants
become well rooted before cold
weather they will stand considerable
freeze, the tops, II frozen, renewing

C0WPEAS RELISHED BY HENS
One Successful Poultryman Gives Elk
perience With Plant-Egg Supply
Visibly Increased,

Cowpeas are not only relished by
hens, but 1t Is excellent egg food for
them. One successful poultryman
gives this experience: The peas,
after matured, were harvested and
stored in dry lofts, and thrown to the
fowls In scratching pens, where they
were scratched over and searched for
during the whole day.
After few days, the egg supply
visibly increased, and within few
weeks almost doubled that from an
equal number of hens kept in separ-
ate quarters and fed on other grains.
The hens seemed to like the small
branchs and leaves, and would eat
every particle except the hard. stir
stems.
The general health Of the flock was
excellent, and not a single hen
showed the least symptom of ailment
during the winter season. Consider
ing the ease with which cowpeas
may be raised, 1t seems that every
one should give them test as food
for the poultry.

write such verses?"
Well" said Pombo, "Edda is now
