THEY HAVE THE MONEY
MohIer Holds That Farmers Can At
ford to Buy Automobiles.

In reply to inquiries, j. c. Mohler,
secretary of the state board of agri-
culture, has issued a statement in
which he declares that Kansas farm
ers are not indulging in luXuries which
they cannot afford. Whenever the
farmer buys an automobile he is well
able TO spend the money, Mr. Mohler
asserted, although he did not base his
statement on any statistics on the sub
ject.
I'VE have approximately $4,000 mo-
tor cars registered in the state this
year. as opposed to $4,000 year ago,
but [ believe the farmers can afford
to buy cars" said Mr.. Mohler. There
has been some criticism that the Kan
sas farmer INDUCES in luXuries too
much but 1 have never found that
true"
In support of his statement Mr..
MohIer told of an incident that hap
pened in a small town not long ago
A large, raw-boned FARMER walked
into a garage and asked to be shown
an automobile. The salesman thought
the man would want about a $500 car
so showed him one.
rs that the best you have?" the
| farmer asked.
He was shown a much better car
for which he paid several thousand
dollars.
when farmers can do that they are
! entitled to buy automobiles" Mr..
| MohIer said.

Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition. be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too mulh alkal. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful Just plain 4nulsified
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless), is much better than
the most expensive soaps or anything
else you can use for shampooing. as
this can't possibly injurc the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub il in. one or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance of
rich, creamy lather. and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The lath-
err rinses out easily and removes every
particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and eX-
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky,
bright, fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get muIsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap. and few ounces IS enough to
last everyone in the family for months.
