SHIPPING NEVADA POTATOES

Nevada potatoes are in demand on
coast markets and are bringing ten
dollars Il ton more than any other
spuds, says the Sparks Tribune. Cali.
fornia Salinas are the standard Cali.
fornia potatoes. and Oregons are the
next coast tuber in demand and these
two potatoes are only bringing $4,000
on coast markets, while the Nevada
potato is bringing $4,000.
F. s. Gunter shipped carload to
Sacramento to Wood, Curtiss & Com.
pany last Saturday and secured the
latter price.
The Nevada potato Is always in de
mand on the coast and the price that
Is received Is invariably higher than
the price paid for another potato.
Other produce shipped from this
section ranks the same. The soil In
this state Is heavier than the soil In
other states and contains more nour
ishing qualities and produces a higher
quality Of produce.

a $40 bill on the curb stone. He
picked 1t up. nouced the number. and
went home to dinner. While home
his wife remarked that the butcher

only money he had was the bill he had
found which he gave to her and she
paid the butcher. The butcher paid II
to farmer for a calf. the farmer TO 4
merchant who paid to a washer wo
man and she. owing the banker note
for $40, went to the bank and paid the
note. The banker recognized the bill
as the one he had found. and which
by that time had paid $50 worth OF
debts. On careful examination he
found 1t to be a counterfeit. No"

Make it thick, glossy, Wavy,
Iuxuriant and remove
all dandruff

Your hair becomes light, wavy, fluffy,
abundant and appears as soft, lustrous
and beautiful as a young girls after a
''Danderine hair cleanse" Just try
this-moisten a cloth with little Dan
derine and carefully draw 1t through
your hair, taking one small strand at
time. This will cleanse the hair of dust,
dirt and excessive oil, and in just few
moments you have doubled the beauty
of your hair.
Besides identifying the hair at once,
Danderine dissolves every particle of
dandruff; cleanses, purifies and invig
crates the scalp, forever stopping itching
and falling hair.
But what will please you most will
be after a few weeks use, when you
will actually see new hair-fine and
downy at first-yes-but really new hair,
growing all over the scalp. If you care
for pretty, soft hair and lots of it,
surely get a 25-cent bottle of Knowl-
