Simple Way To
End Dandruff

There is one sure way that has
never failed to remove dandruff at
once, and that is to dissolve it, then
you destroy it entirely. To do this,
just get about four ounces of plain,
common liquid arvon from any drug
store (this is all you will need), apply
it at night when retiring, use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub it in gen.
thy with the finger tips.
BY morning. most If not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will complete
ly dissolve, and entirely destroy, every
single sign and trace of it, no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You will find all itching and digging
of the scalp will stop instantly and
your hair will be fluffy. lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and
feel a hundred time better.-Adv.

Walkush's Store Entered, But Little
Plumber is Taken.-Other Con-

August Walkush had the pleasure
of entertaining a visitor at his store
some time during Monday evening
while he was enjoying an uninter-
rupted sleep at his home.
The caller gained entrance by
breaking the glass in the back win
dow, removing the fastenings and
crawling through He was somewhat
lacking experience along this line,
as he was unable to open the cash
register without the assistance OF
some dozen pairs of shears and a
few jack-knives which were handy.
After breaking a number of these,
his hand must have slipped and re-
leased the drawer. He obtained a
few cents for his pains along with,
few smokes, after which he made
his exit.
1t looks like some cheap guy
work who hates work and is trying
to find other fields to get a living
from. Mr.. Walkush says he will
willingly explain the workings of the
register to him if he will call as he
deplores the needless waste of good
shears.

TWO Years Corn Record

In 1913 and 1914 Wisconsin was
credited by the U. S. statistics with
having an average corn yield of 4O.5
bushels to the acre. The state is
credited with having more silos with
which to add to the feeding value Of
that corn than any other state,
and with building more Of them dur
ing the two years.
Thus it appears that Wisconsin is
doubly the leading corn state-first,
because Of all the large producers Of
that cereal it grows more bushels per
acre, and second, for the reason
that its method Of feeding gets more
value from each bushel.

SOM FLAX EARLY.

Within a few days there will be
ready for distribution from the North
Dakota Experiment station a circular
entitled: Growing of Flax on Corn
Ground and Other Cropped Lands
Early and Late Sowing"
The topic Of early and late sowing
is one of much Importance. Flax has
usually been seeded whenever it has
been found convenient, after the other
grains are seeded. This often results
in failure, when, in reality, the crop
has slight opportunity to succeed be-
cause the time of sowing is bad. Oh
%servatiOns extending over a number
Of years tend to confirm the belief
that in most parts of North Dakota.
early planting of fax, gives most re.
liable results, both in yield and quail
ity. w: T 80
Late paintings often give large yield
if they escape the fall frosts. This
has induced many to plant later than
is justifiable, with the result that the
crop often loses out, fails to ripen
evenly or is destroyed by frost. "
Many have been in the habit of
sowing fax about May goth to 25th.
Observations tend to indicate that
this is not a very desirable period OF
planting, particularly for south and
central North Dakota; for the flax
comes into blossom and boil forma-
ton just at the hottest period of the
year when the soil moisture is apt to
be scarce, the sun very hot. and the
winds most drying. Under such con
ditions,; the FAX ripens a small crop
because Of the blighting of the flow
ers and bolls. 1t is, therefore, quite
evident that one should SOW early
enough to have the fax blossom and
form the bolls before the hot wether
comes on or sufficiently late to have
the blossoming and boil formation
period begin as soon as the hottest
weather is past, and yet early enough
to escape autumn frosts. There ca
be no question about the mater for
those who are raising seed for sowing
purposes. These should, for the most
part, plant early. ~ -
The bulletin indicates that there is
very little danger to flax by frost in
the spring while the plants are young.
Young flax plants stand severe spring
frost, but fax while maturing in the
fall is injured by the slightest touch
of frost.

TAYLOR R IS
AFTER C!A||M|| 4:
Insurance Commissioner Warns
Residents Of State Against
Insurance Order.

Insurance Commissioner w. C. Tay-
lor yesterday issued the following
note OF warning:
Information reaches this depart
ment that a concern p%urporting to be
a fraternal society, and styling itself
"The Camels of the World" is oper.
ating in certain sections Of North Da-
kota. A pamphlet which is being cir
culated by representatives Of the con.
Germ contains the interesting informa-
ton that "The Order of Camels" was
established in Arabia in prehistoric
times; that it is moving in grand and
ever widening circles from the Orient
to the Occident; that its purpose is
to bring sunshine and gladness to all
mankind.
"All this may be true. What the in.
surance department objects to is the
fact that this camel concern proposes
to issue certificates of membership
which promise death benefits in the
amount OF $3.50 and ten:doi!a7 per
week sick benefits. "The Came,s Of
the World" have no legal authority
to enter into any engagements of that
nature, in North Dakota, and any per.
son who, solicits membership in this
lsoictey is subject to arrest and to the
penalties of the law.
1T seems that The Camels Of the
World" issue death benefit certif-
Gates through the Western Funeral
Benefit association. This latter is a
small and obscure f~raternal ,benef-
ciary society whose home Office is in
st. Louis, Mo. Its total assets as Of
Dec. 81, 1913, amounted to $24,S63.57.
What is still more to the point, the
Western Funeral Benefit association
has no authority to transact business
in North Dakota. 1850 & ''''
1T is hoped this note of warning
will serve to put the ulwary on guard.
However worthy the aims and objects
o f"The CameIs Of the World" may
be, the fact that the concern Is oper-
ating' in this state without legal auth
GRITTY and in contravention Of the law
certainly stamps it with the impress
Of dubiety. If It wishes to bring sun
shine and gladness into North Dakota
it should at least come with clean
hands, .iHs
