BEAUMONT rs RIGHT.

Secretary Beaumont OF the Greater
Iowa association was a visitor in Bur.
lington the other day and INDUCED in
few criticisms OF the great state OF
Iowa that found a ready response
with the great majority of his hear
ers. says the Burlington Gazette. He
gave Iowa credit for all her great
ness, but 1t is apparent that the state
is not doing justice to herself. Every
two years a conglomeration OF anna
teur statesmen gather at Des Moines,
each with mis- own petty idea OF what
shall be done to make it harder to
live in the state. All legislators are
not OF this caliber, but it undoubt-
edly is true OF the majority. And this
majority rules us with an iron hand.
There are 40 doubt more selfish
measures introduced in the Iowa
legislature than In any other body OF
this character in the country. The
policy of doing the most good for the
greatest number of people unfortun-
ateIy is lost sight of in the promotion
of divers schemes to advance trif1ing
self boosts. Mr.. Beaumont knows
what he is talking about. He is in a
position to feel the pulse Of the state
from a commercial, manufacturing
and agricultural standpoint.

SEED CORN.

The necessity of more careful Sc
Election OF seed corn Is being urged hS
our dairy and food commission tbs
department, which has in its charge
1.-THE enforcement of the agricultural
seed law, reports that while the seed
corn offered for sale this year is
above the average quality, there Is
istill room for considerable improve
ment
Each year there are too many
farmers who plant INFESTED corn with
the result that the yield per acre falls
below that Of their more intelligent
neighbors. 1t is the opinion OF the
authorities that IL every ear OF seed
corn planted in Iowa this spring were
tested. and the weak and bad ears
discarded so that nothing but strong
seed were planted, it would result in
an increase of ten bushels an acre 10
the average Iowa crop
Think of it. 10000 bushels of
corn, which at sixty-five cents bush
ell means net gain of 100000 to our
Iowa farmers.
If you are not in the habit of test
ing your seed corn, why not start this
year? Should you not be in posi-
ton to test the seed yourself. send an
average sample to w. B. Barney, dairy
and food commissioner. and the ex-
perts of that department will per
form the test for you and send you
the report This service is rendered
free by the department to all Iowa
farmers. In sending in samples, be
sure that your name and address Is
plainly marked on the package and
that the postag. has been fully pre-
paid.
Remember that poor seed means
missing hills, one-stalk hills. and weak
stalks that produce nubbins instead OF
large, solid ears. 1t means waste:
land, wasted labor, and financial loss.

IT RUINS HAIR TO
WASH IT WITH SOAP

Soap should be used very sparingly,
if at ali, if you want to keep your
hair looking its best. Most soaps
and prepared shampoos contain too
much alkali. This dries the scalp,
makes the hair brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary mu1sified cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and greaseless), is
cheaper and better than soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in. 1t makes an abund-
ance of rich, creamy lather, which
rinses out easily, removing every par
ticle of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex-
cessive oil The hair dries quickly
and evenly. and it leaves the scalp
soft, and the hair fine and silky,
bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsihed cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, and few ounces
viii supply every member of the
family for months.
