}Dandruffy Heads
Become Hairless
Scalp Dries Chokes out the
Hair and Prevents its Growth

If you want plenty of thick, beau
tiful, glossy. silky hair, do by all
means get rid of dandruff, for it will
starve your hair and ruin it if you
} don't.
1t doesn't do much good to try to
} brush or wash it out. The only sure
J way to get rid of dandruff is to dis
J solve it, then you destroy it entirely.
( To do this, get about four ounces of
( 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
dissolve and entirely destroy every
J single sign and trace of it.
You will find. too, that all itching
\ and digging of the scalp win stop, and
your hair will be silky, fluffy, lustrous,
soft and look and feel hundred times
better. You can get liquid arvon at
[ any drug store. 1t is inexpensive and

ROAD MAKING TAUGHT
AT A. & M. COLLEGE
Given Practical instruction viii
Traction Engines and Graders.

When farmer graduates from the
Agricultural and Mechanical College
of Texas cover the State like the dew,
the day of bad roads will pass. OF
| course in few years there will be
miles and miles of good macadam
| roads, but then with these graduates
on Texas farms the day of the bad
earth road will pass.
Down at the college there are sixty.
five agricultural students who finish
this year and who are gaining practical
knowledge of road construction. Three
afternoons of the week you may see
traction engines attached to road
graders and manned by young cole
gians working the roads on the col
lege campus and near the institution.
The entire crew is composed of col.
lege boys, and let it be said to their
credit that college roads are in far
better condition than the earth roads
of most any county. The boys are
taught how to operate the big gas
driven engines and how TO manage
the scrapers both from a theoretical
and practical standpoint.
This work comes under the division
of rural engineering, part of the
course in agronomy. This year there
are siXty-fve students who are en-.
gagged in the gentle art of road build
ing and manipulation of various types
of farm machinery. Road construc.
tion is just a small part of the in.
struction that is given by the rural en-.
cheering department. Farm terracing
and drainage and irrigation are other
valuable points stressed in this work,
and the boys are taught to do the
actual work in the fields. Thorough
instruction on modern farm machinery
and motors, farm water supply, auto.
mobile engineering are a few of the
other things which are drilled into
A. & NJ. cadets who are studying agri-
culture.
Almost every kind of farm machin.
cry known to modern science is in
cluded in the rows and rows Of ma
chimes that are stored in the college
implement barns for the instruction
of the students. DR.. ]. o. Morgan,
head Of the department of agronomy,
and f. c. Gee, professor of rural en-.
cheering, are seeing to it that the
boys won't bump into strange prob.
lens about farm machinery when
they graduate this year. Under Mr..
Gees coaching the boys have become
thoroughly familiar with tractors and
gang plows and graders and other
such implements. Part of the 2,416

acres of college lands has been broken
by students with tractors and gang
plows, and the work in addition to
being highly instructive is proving
pleasant to the boys. There is al.
ways wild scramble for an engine
and grader when one of the road
gangs starts out to put a rundown
earth road in shape.
Mr.. Gee is enthusiastic and works
with the boys in their road work and
stump pulling. This is his second
year at the college, and during that
time he has increased the supply Of
farm machinery greatly. Mr. Gee is
graduate of the University of Ne
braskG.
Included in the college array OF ma.
chinery are five tractors, one gas
ditcher, fifteen stationary gas engines,
complete farm electric lighting plant,
acetylene light plant; automobile
chassis, and tilling, seeding and har.
vesting machines of all kinds The
boys are shown how to use this equip
ment to obtain the greatest efficiency
and are made to take 1t to pieces and
then set 1t up again.
