ALFALFA GOLD BRAND
Its long, branching roots penetrate fnr
down, push and crowd the earth this way
and that, and thus constitute a gigantic
subsoiler. These become au immense mag

Alfalfa ranks higher than Timothy in
feeding value. In fact, It might be termed
both corn and hay, as 1t Is almost CO
plete food Experiment stations place the
feeding value Of Alfalfa hay at SO per ton,
as against Timothy hay at 81 per ton.
This, with the fact that Alfalfa will easily
yield, on good lana, . to - tons Of spi n

crop it Is. Lands in the Western States
that are well set in Alfalfa sell readily at
from 500 to 500 per acre. The acreage Of
Alfalfa Is increasing very largely all over
the Middle and Southern States; our farm
ers are last beginning to realize what a
valuable crop it is. Alfalfa will succeed

thoroughly prepared for best results.

HE HOLDS A LIVE RATTLER
South Dakota Man Toys UnfIinchlngly
With Dangerous Three-foot
Rattlesnake.

Sioux Falls, S. D.-"He is perfectly
tame, won't hurt anybody, but don't
try to play with him unless you know
how" said F. H. Perry as he held a
three-foot rattlesnake in his bare hand
and watched his slow movements
along his arm. He had captured the
snake on rock near the penitentiary
as it lay there in the sun. The snake
had five rattles.
When annoyed it suddenly curled
up and struck at a yardstick near it,
imbedding its fangs in the soft wood,
which was Immediately discolored by
the injection of the poison from the
fangs. A number of rattlers had been
found near the old rock pile, and it
was after hearing of these discoveries
that Mr. Perry started out to find G
snake. He had not hunted long when
he came upon one lying on the stone.
Perry picked it up by first taking
hold of the back of the neck of the
reptile. preventing 1t from striking
him, and then put it In box.
In exhibiting it he let it move about
while he held 1t, and the spectators
shuddered at the thought of what
would happen if the snake would sud-
denly raise itself and strike. No one
offered to assist Perry in handling his
pet.

WORK OF WIRELESS
Fog Gun Started ard Stopped by
Sound Waves.
System Is Being Applied Successfully
at Several Points In Scotland
Solves Problem Of Distant
Control of Fog Guns.

Edinburgh.-A system of wireless
control that is now being applied sue
cessfully at several points in Scotland
seems to have solved the problem of
distant control Of acetlyene fog guns
located at points difficult to access,
and provides means by which a num-
Der of such installations may be op.
Grated from one wireless station with
out the necessity for visiting the diff
ferent signals, except for making re-
pairs and replenishing the supply of
gas. When the gun is started, it au-
tomatically feeds and fires itself at
regular intervals until stopped or un-
til the supply Of acetylene runs out,
and the wireless control simply pro-
vides a means of starting it when
there Is fog and stopping 1t when the
fog clears, without going near the
signal. Furthermore the wireless ap-
paratus is so arranged and tuned that
1t is not interfered with by the more
powerful waves that may be sent out
by passing ships or by other wireless
stations. The control waves are sent
out by an ordinary wireless station of
rather low power. while the waves
are received at the fog gun by four
short aerials. The electric impulses
then pass through special form of
coherer to relay which is very SEN
sitive but has large movement and
is therefore capable of keeping in ad
3ustment under all temperature condi-
tions. From the relay the impulses
pass alternatively to two synchron,
izers, each Of which is connected with

This time only few cattle were driv-

stuffs stolen. On former raids some
10000 head of cattle were driven from

FRIEND OF LITTLE FOLKS ASKS

COMMUNITY

Have you read and seen the pic
lures of the awful war that is going
on in Europe? Have the boys and
girls here thought just what kind of
a Christmas those little kiddies over
there would have? OF course we all
have wondered what they would do,
after war had done its fearful work;
of course you have pitied the children
there, whose fathers, brothers, uncles,
cousins and friends have left their
homes for the battlefield, perhaps
never to come back; of course you
have thought of the difference be-
tween your lives and the lives of
those poor little fellows over there.
Boys and girls, your fathers and
mothers are at home with you, pro
.viding you with nice warm clothes,
good food and snug little beds, and
send you to school dressed so nice
and neat; your big brothers play with
you: now and again, no doubt, they
bring you something you have been
waiting for, a doll, perhaps. for the
sister, baseball outfit or a toy pistol,
it may be, for the little brother. Then
your uncles and cousins when they
come to your homes always remem-
ber to bring you something. But
what of the boys and girls over in
Europe?
is 1t not so different with those
poor little European children? There
are no nice things, no pretty clothes,
no toys for the German. Belgian, Rus
sian, English, French. Austrian and |
Servian boys and girls. Perhaps even
when the cruel war is over and the
last shot is fired, their dadaies. big
brothers. uncles and coNnsins won't
come home any more, for you know
that not eevry man or youth who goes
out to fight when the drums are beat
ing, the bands playing and the flags
flying, comes back. Some of them,

Girlsl Try I'll Your Hair Gets soft.
Fluffy and Luxuriant at
Once

If you care for heavy hair, that
glistens with beauty and is radiant
with life; has an Incompatible soft
ness and is fluffy and lustrous, try
Danderine.
Just one application doubles the
beauty of your hair, besides it imme-
diately dissolves every particle of
dandruff; you cannot have nice,
heavy, healthy hair if you have dand-
ruff. This destructive scurff robs the
hair of its lustre, its strength and it's
very life, and if not overcome it pro-
duees a feverishness and itching of
the scalp; the hair roots famish,
loosen and die; then the hair falls out
fast
If your hair has been neglected and
is thin, faded, dry, scraggy or too oily,
get a 25 cent bottle of Knowltons
Danderine at any drug store or toilet
counter; apply little as directed and
ten minutes after you will say this
was the best investment you ever
made.
We sincerely believe, regardless of
everything else advertised, that if you
desire soft, lustrous, beautiful hair

you must use Knowlton's Danderine.
