GOOD TREATMENT
FOR OILY SCALPS

Men and women whose hair and scalp are
excessively oily suffer more in the warmer
months than at any other time. The summers
dust and dirt mingle with dandruff, cling to the
oily hair and scalp. clog the scalp pores, stifle
the hair roots and make proper cleansing al
most impossible.
Partisan sage is an ideal treatment for this
trouble Wash the hair not oftener than once
a week, but use Partisan Sage twice daily,
pouring little into the parted hair and rub
bling brisky right into the scalp with the
finger tips It drives out dandruff, dissolyes
the excess oil and stimulates the scalp into
healthyinormal action, Sold by A. A. Howes &
Co. and leading druggists everywhere.

SAVING SEED PEAS.

From the Triton Gazette
The editor of The Dawson News saw some
white six-weeks peas selling on that market
and asked the price. They readily brought
$3.50 a bushel and many farmers were Duy-
ing them. They came from California ana
the purchasers paid the freight across the
continent The News says the same peas
grow profitably in Terrell county and points
ia this as one item in the expense account
that keeps the South poor.
1t has always been beyond our understand
ing why the Georgia farmer does not save
his own seed peas. Not alone the little
white ones, but the speckle pea, the COW pea
the crowder and the other varieties that are
needed to make our land profitable.
A few of the more advanced farmers SOW
peas every year for hay to turn under Tor
legumes, but very few save their seed. These
can be had for the gathering, but they are
plowed in or turned over to the hogs ana
seed for another year bought.
It is too much trouble or they are busy
with their cotton just then, or the peas are
eaten by weevils or there is some otner eX-
cuse for letting go to waste in the fall what
must be bought at q high price next spring.
Seed reas now usually sell for $500 to S3.5O
a nushel They are not worth over 81: An
ordinary school boy can pick and thresn
out two bushels a day. But there is some
work and trouble in it, and the rule IS TO
let the peas go and raise cotton to puy more
next spring.

Truth in Advertising.

There is much discussion in the ne"spa-
Ders of the country of the question OF truth
in advertising, and one or two papers nave
announced that all advertising published oE
them will be guaranteed to the patrons OF
tho naners and the patrons of the advertisers
In order to get the views of managers the

journal published in the interest OF the Jour
ualistic profession in New York, has askeu
some of the most prominent of them 10 state
the policy each follows: The majority OF
those who answered are of the opinion that
advertising cannot be guaranteed BUT thaI
the public can only exercise care in accept
ing that which is offered,
The News believes in advertisements
speaking the truth, and is glad to see the
beginning of a reform in that direction. NO
one can know the value of all articles that
are advertised, and the statements made by
ranutable firms that they are Offering ar
ticles of merit or goods of exceptional value
for the money must be accepted on the faith
of the standing of the mercantile house or
the firm that is making the proposition.
But no advertiser can deceive the people
to such an extent as to make profit by IT,
if the people will do their part. II any
reader of The News, or any reputable news
paper for that matter feels that he is de-
ceived by the statement of an advertiser
and his investment has been a distinct loss
to him he can protect his neighbors and his
friends by communicating to the newspaper
the conditions under which he was misled
by the advertisement, and if the newspapers
investigations lead the publisher to the be
lief that such advertising is fraudulent 1t
will be discontinued. 1t often happens that
mistakes occur in dealings between patrons
and advertiser.
The newspapers do not want their readers
imposed on, and they will do what they can
to protect them in every instance in which
it is found that deception and fraud has
been praCtced.

The Peach Prospects.

While opinions are divided as to the effect
If the late March frost on the Georgia peach
crop it seems rather well agreed that the
South Georgia crop has suffered consider
ably, perhaps to the extent of fifty per cent
in the alberta section. Several experts be-
leye that the frost was blessing in that
the trees were too heavily loaded with bios
sons, and the frost killed just enough OF
them to relieve the load.
Undoubtedly the cold weather OF March
was hard on the fruit crop and there has
been material damage, but there is much
satisfaction in the thought that the damage
is by no means sweeping. We shall have
fruit and in generous measure, unless there
is a renewal OF severe weather. Let us hope
to escape that, and let the good women of
the state glow with pride and satisfaction
at the thought of the preserves and jellies
and canned fruits they will store away for
the joy and use of the household.

Shinmering Lingerie.
BY Ray l. HOppman.


When the weather is hot it's as likely as
not you'll loll in the surf all day; you will
act like a fool just to try to keep cool
you'll hide from the suns scOrching ray.
But the women don't care, and the sun, in
despair, will give up the fight in dismay;
for the heat she will beat and the sun she
will cheat in her shimmering lingerie. Now
a man in distress will endeavor to dress as
cool as he can on his pay; and he'll go
where the breeze gently sways the tall
trees-where white-crested waves gently
play But the sun cannot stop her desire to
shop, though he burns a big hole in the clay;
she's as happy and cool as frog in pool
in her shimmering lingerie. Now man
will be rude and he'll go almost nude to cool
in the summer-but, say! the hot sunshine
will scorch his old hide like a torch-and
there is the devil to pay. But the women
don't mind, and much pleasure they'll find
on a ninety degree above day; they're cool
as can be, they are happy and free-in their
Sh immpring lingerie,

The Flowing Tide.

According to a Washington dispatch the
races of Northern and Western Europe form
ed 2S2 perc cent of the total alien immigra-
ton in 1913 and 26.4 per cent in 1914.
Immigrants from Southern and Eastern Eu-
rope furnished 67.1 per cent in 1913 and
6S.4 per cent in 1914. These figures show the
gradual tendency for the immigration from
Southern and Eastern Europe to supplant
that from Northern and Western Europe.
The total alien arrivals in 1914 was the
third largest in the history of the country,
being surpassed only in 1907 with 1,438, 469
and in 1913 with 1,427227. Commissioner
General Caminetti says in his report: I'm
migration, judging from the results of the
year, has apparently reached the million
mark permanently, and unless some aff1rma-
tive action is taken by the federal govern
ment to restrict it or steps are taken by Eu-
ropean and other nations to reduce the
steady stream of persons leaving the various
countries of the Old World We need hardly
expect that the number annually entering
the United States will hereafter fall far be-
low one million"
The News has long been of the opinion
that too many ignorant and penniless for
eigners are admitted into this country.

A Clean Bill for the Hen.

The problem of the carrier in the yario IS
infectious diseases has long vexed the sani-
tartan who is bent on discovering every pos
sible mode of transmission and every por-
tai of entry for the germs. Human carriers
of typhoid and diptheria germs, themselves
immune to attacks of the malady, are now
watched for in nearly every community, and
the danger which they represent as latent
source of infection is clearly recognized
Doubtless, says the Journal of the American
Medical Association, many of these POSSIBLE
tiles for spreading disease without the pres
ence of detachable symptoms are still I'M
recognized In typhoid it has been shown
that some of the lower animals may be
made typhoid carriers; and attention has
lately been directed to such animals as
might be expected to become carriers by
reason of their environment or habits.
Mitchell and Boomer of the bacteriologic
laboratory of the University of Missouri
have pointed out that the chicken is a do
mestic animal which might often come into
contact with typhoid discharges. The me-
chanicaI transference of typhoid bacilli on
the feet and bill of a chicken does, without
question, occur. BY various methods they
have attempted to follow the germ. From
the work of the Missouri psychologists it
would seem that the hen is highly resistant
to typhoid. It not only fails to take the
disease, but apparently cannot be made a
carrier except in a mechanical way

And tenderly he monkeys with

Look in at the open door.

Imprisonment for Debt.

Editor Dawson News: There has grown
up practice of prosecuting debtors for TAX
ing up goods under false pretense, which is
but thinly disguised piece with imprison-
ment for debt 1t is a good thing for the
Pataula circuit that its judge fr0wns down
as much as may be this practice The amend
ment to the punishment laws, passed by the
last legislature, should be repealed for the
same reason, viz: That it is being used to
harrow labor and not for legitimate debt
collecting.
The -sO-called-registry of land
is another step in the wrong direction Any
thing that will facilitate the transference OF
homes tends to make the citizenry of the
country nOmadic instead of stationary, and
this is exactly what the advocates of the sys-
tenn claim for it. Our land system of tenure
by recorded deeds and descent, established
upon proof, is sufficient for honest men,
home-lOving, who build their country. We
need to initiate the English system more in
stead Of getting away from it-especially
the encouragement of long leases of free
hold where the tenant pays in rents upon
the gross income of the place and where the
landlord is responsible only for permanent
Improvements; also in taxation upon realty
we need to follow their method. In other
words two farms adjoin; on one is an up-to-
date farmer whose land yields five dollars
per acre profit; his neighbor is eltheF
makeshift land owner or a Shlftless Tehtei'
and barely earns one dollar per acre on ms
holdings, yet under the English system edcll
would pay on the potential value OF the lanu
as shown by the good farmer and not on Ito
minimum value as shown by the other Inns

The Federal Bird Law.

Many of the press comments on the decls-
ion of the United States district court, rem
dered a few days ago at Topeka, Kansas,
holding that the federal migratory bird law
is unconstitutional are erroneous and apt to
mislead the public concerning the real situa-
ton in this matter.
The Kansas decision, like former decis-
ion to the same effect in the eastern district
of Arkansas, is limited in its operation sole
~ to the district in which it was rendered
Neither decision settles or nullifies the law
and the exact contrary has been held by the
United States district court for South Da-
l1ota. The Arkansas case has been appealed
to and is now pending in the United States
supreme court The act of congress protect
ing migratory birds stands effective until the
supreme court finally decides the question
of its consttutionality. In the meantime, it
is incumbent on every law-abiding citizen to
observe it's provisions and the regulations
It is the duty Of the department of agricult-
ure to enforce this law, and the officials in
charge will endeavor to do so as long as
it is in force Reports of violations will be
carefully investigated, and when sufficient
evidence is secured they will be reported for
prosecution. In this connection it should
not be forgotten that an offender against
this, as in the case of other United States
laws, is subject to persecution within three
years from the date the crime is committed

DISAPPEARING PEACH TREES.

From Popular Mechanics Magazine
Some of the Colorado fruit growers on the
eastern slope of the Rocky mountains have
adopted an ingenious method for protecting
their peach orchards during the winter. sea-
son. The plan, which has been tound 10 pc
a meritorious one, consists of bending the
trees down to the ground, covering their
branches with hay or straw and then bury
ing them under about two inches OF soil IN
much the same way as blackberry and rasp-
berry bushes are cared for in cold climates.
Although in the past the peach trees IN TINS
section suffered much damage and frequent
1v were killed outright during the winters
bv this method of culture they are surviving
severe weather without difficulty and bear
ing good yields of fruit.

NOT so MUCH OF A JOKE.

along the small streams in this section to
supply all the fertilizer when properly COM

ION January /, 1915, people were five
times as numerous in the United States as
horses, and horses were five times as numer-
Gus as mules. Texas had over twice as many
mules (753,O00) as Missouri. its closest
connection. Texas also led in cattle (5,121,-
OOO). having nearly twice as many as Iowa.
Iowa had twice as many swine (8,72O,OOO)

The turkey buzzard, which for genera
lions has been protected both by law and by
his own forbidding personality, will be no
longer given the protection of the states
statutes if the representative from Johnson
county has his way next summer when the
legislature meets. The buzzard, for years
considered of great value as a scavenger,
is now being denounced as a carrier of
germs and a menace to health. However,
the Georgia legislature is body rather fond

to guard his interests. Some flights of ora

RAISING OUR OWN SEED.

From the Moultrie Observer.
The Observer has had a great deal to say
recently on the question of raising seed at
home.
The Dawson News tells of a citizen of
Terrell county who saved the seed from a
collard patch. He harvested thirty-eight
pounds from a very small piece of land and
he sold the seed for ffty-one dollars.
We are sending money to other sections
for seed when we should be shipping seed
away and bringing money in 1t is just
habit, and a very expensive habit that we
send thousands of dollars out of Colquitt
county each year for seed that could be
saved at home.

ELECTRIC FARMING.

From the Christian Index
One of the newest things in the agricult-
ural world is electro-culture. The French
are already collecting atmospheric electric
ity by means Of small lightning rods with
n0n-corroding points. These rods are driven
into the ground, to be treated, to the depth
of from eight to twelve inches, according to
the nature of the plant to be cultivated. 1t
is claimed that each rod will fertilize an
area with a radius equal to its height and
make it produce from thirty-seyen to 10
per cent increase in crops. If this method
of fertilization proves as successful as it
promises it will work revolutions in the ag-
ricultural world.
