such high merit as TO be a credit TO
any community.
Ten ear samples Of corn we're ex-
hibited by Is corn club boys, and by

Homemade Hair Tonic. =

An old fashioned hair tonic. that Is
really helpful in starting new growth
and preventing falling hair. is made
from s cents worth Of castor oil, 5
cents worth of pure grain alcohol and
s cents worth Of bergamot. Shake
all we'll together until thoroughly
mixed. and apply by parting the hair
in strands. and rubbing the tonic right
into the scalp with the tips Of the
fingers. Only very little Of the tonic
is applied and efforts should be made
to get it right on the scalp. not the
hair. rubbing thoroughly. 1t is of
course very greasy. although thinned
by the alcohol. and for few days
afterward the hair Is likely to look
rather more ''slick" than modern
fashion approves. but little rubbing
with bay rum removes this 0iliness.

Since the first vacuum washer was
put on the market the patent Office has
been flooded with scores Of similar In
ventions. One Of the latest is that of
a Missouri man. The trouble with
most of these appliances is that they
will do either light work or heavy work,
but seldom both equally well. This
machine has pair Of air shafts with
pin valves at the upper ends and conf
cal mouths below. They are remova-
BILE from the tub and can be operated
either by hand or by motor power and
with or without gasoline heater at
tachment. It is claimed that this de-
vice will wash anything from lace cur
tains to carpets thoroughly without ne
cessitating any rubbing by hand on a
board.
