The Kieffer pear Is one of our
easiest pears 10 grow 10 stores and
ships with a minimum OF loss and Is
less subject TO blight than the ma
jority of our standard commercial
pears.
Tho Kieffer should not be eaten or
canned until IL has turned to a rich
golden yellow. Much Of the COM
plaint regarding it has been due 10 the
fact that it has been purchased when
not fully mature and used I'm
mediately When the unripe speci-
mems have been canned the result has
been rather a coarse grade OF fruit
When eaten from the hand they
are nearly tasteless and seriously
lacking in quality. II the same pears
had been allowed to remain on the
trees until the frost came and then
picked and stored away from frost,
light and heat until reaching maturity
they would have made friends Of the
ultimate consumers.
The Kieffer pear can be grown at
profit where the Duchess and the
Bartlett viii not thrive When the
fruit is stored until November and
then canned in It's prime It will provo
great delicacy. The tree Is hardy

Special TO The World

Special to The World
BARTLESVILLE, okla, July Ia
Washington county will hold its first
annual free fair at Dewey Okla, on
September 1G, II and IS. This WAS
the decision at recent meeting Of the
officers and board of directors Of the
association held in Bartlesyille. Bar
tlCsyIllc and Dewey were both con-
tenders for the fair site, but Dewey
had the better site, in the opinion of
la majority of the members of the
board
Dewey has selected as a site a 40
acre tract of land just north Of the
city and upon the grounds will be To-
Gated the necessary fair buildings to
house exhibits, a race track and
Erandstand. A free site and the nee
essary buildings Is required by state
law.
Dewey's progressive citizens came to
Bartlcsvlllc the other day, appeared
before the board. was ready to give
bond in carrying out her part of tho
contract and said she wanted the fair
located in the city permanently How
ever, the question arose as TO whether
this board Of directors had the legal
right to locate the fair permanently. It
will be left to the court TO decide in a
friendly suit that Is TO be started. But
this feature will not mar the carrying
out Of every feature Of the fair as
planned now.
Il is to be the biggest and best fair
ever held in this section Of the state.
Dewey people will go 10 every extreme
TO make IL q success and have the
hearty cooperation Of every citizen In
the county Dcwcy's reputation in
past years in staging the annual
roundup is conclusive proof that that
city can handle a crowd and knows
how 20 get up a fair or celebration.

Flood of Old Metal In Berlin

So great has been the food Of old
metals in Berlin for melting purposes,
that the war ministry has had to issue
statement, thanking the donors but
declaring the lack of metal is not suf-
fcient to necessitate such sacrifice.
"Of late" says the ministry, "there
have been accumulating in the raw ma
terials of war division of the ministry
metal objects of all kinds from the
household and the factory, even church
bells, for the use of the army. 1t is
impossible to thank each sender for his
laudable interest, so the war ministry
bespeaks in this way its gratitude. The
army authorities do not wish to take
advantage of this movement, because at
the present there is no shortage in old
metal. Aside from this fact, the less
well-to.do circles of our population
would be apt to compete in spirit of
sacrifice in giving to the Fatherland
their metal, while in the case of a real
shortage, larger supplies and objects
such as roofs, could be used"

The Plainest Girl
Can Be Good-Looking

There is economy in good looks.
1t pays every girl to be good-looking
and every woman owes it to herself
to beN as attractive as possible.
It is unfortunate that all women
are not born beautiful, but nearly all
can acquire good looks. The plain
girl not only must use care in the
selection of her clothes but give
especial attention to her hair-thin,
wispy, dull and faded locks will de-
4stroy half the beauty Of even a
pretty face.
If your hair is not beautiful, lack
ing that enviable softness, lustre and
fuffiness, or is falling out, full of
dandruff, too dry, by all means use
Partisan Sage, an inexpensive liquid
tonic, easily obtained at any drug
counter or from H. c. Kennedy.
Simply rub Partisan Sage well into
the scalp. 1t will go right to the hair
roots, nourish them, and stimulate the
hair to grow strong and luxuriant.
1t removes all dandruff, thoroughly
cleanses the hair of dust and excess
oil, and makes it appear twice as
abundant.
Parisian Sage is scientific tonic
that gives the hair just what is
needed to make it fluffy, soft and
gloriously radiant; and pretty hair
will surely increase the charm and
beauty Of even the plainest girl.

their semester OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES TO nave Deen
a successful so far as the college and univer-
sity enrollments are concerned. Despite outside
influences such as the war and changing economic
conditions the numbers of students attending the
higher institutions of learning have had large
increases.
The war of course has drawn many foreign
students to their native countries. The Russian
government has recently called Russian university
students to the colors, exempting none The losses
in students to American universities in direct con-
sequence of the war are, however, comparatively
small, and the gains will doubtless be more than
sufficient compensation when hostities have ceased
and our schools obtain from the present bellgerent
countries students who for the time will not care
to study in the universities Of their wartime foes.
During the present academic year there has been
reported an increase Of thousand students over
the preceding year in each of three universities
Pittsburgh, California and Columbia. The nearby
University of Pennsylvania registered a gain Of
five hundred as did the universities of New York,
Ohio, Minnesota and Wisconsin An increase Of
three hundred each is reported from Cornell, Gin
cinnati, Illinois, Michigan and Nebraska.
In view of the fact that large classes left our
principal universities last year, and that the new
students matriculating in the Fall were far in
of the number of these graduates 1T does not
seem that there are hard times in the educational
field. Prospects were never brighter in American
universities, from all reports.
The war has been in progress throughout the
academic year. just closing, yet its full effects on
American universities have hardly been felt as yet
That these cannot but be beneficial effects ulti-
mately seems certain Students who would be
abroad, or would be planning to go there if there
were no war, will get their masters and doctors
degrees from schools in this country instead There
will be much encouragement for our universities in
increased enrollments in their graduate schools and
their usefulness will increase with that encourage
ment.
