GIRLS, DO YOU KNOW
WHY YOUR HAIR
IS UGLY?

Many women do not realize the
necessity of keeping the hair and
scalp absolutely clean in order to
look their best And yet, with only
q few minutes of tonic massage, the
hair may be brought to a beautiful,
thick, lustrous luxuriance, and that at
very little cost.
Just try these few simple directions
tonday: Into the palm of the hand
pour little Partisan Sage, rigidly
guaranteed, inexpensive and most
beneficial preparation to be had at
any drug store; thoroughly wet the
hair near the scalp with it and then
rub vigorously until soft tingling
sensation comes stealing over the
head Do this regularly for few
days and you will surely be surprised
and delighted with the results.
The genuine Partisan Sage is OBJ
tainable from G. R. Fogg who always
sells il with an absolute guarantee of
perfect satisfaction to the user or
the money paid will be returned. 2w6

SCHOOL SAVINGS BANKS
Parent. Teacher Association Takes up
the Subject. ID. IL. Perkins of
Portland Will be Here the 18th

Under the direction of Miss Dorothy
Elliot. very entertaining program
was presented at the special meeting
of the Parent-Teacher Association
upon the topic of School Savings
Banks. Mrs. Nellie X. Copp read an
original paper upon School Savings
/ Banks from a teachers standpoint
while a paper written by Mrs Stora
Pennell and read by Miss Doris Ray
ner touched upon the same subject
only from the parents standpoint A
discussion followed in which Frank
Oddly gave an interesting account of
school savings banks in the Englis h
Schools, where there has been such
an institution for thirty years Some
of those present thought that this
might be a reason for three hundred
and two out of every thousand in
England saving against one hundred
and eight out of the same number in
America. Other speakers were Rev.
c. II. Mckinney, Mrs. Eta S. Mer-
rill and T. G. Lord. Delegates APP
pointed to attend the State Conven-
ton in Waterville this week were
Mrs w. S. Sunchfield, Miss Dorothy
Elliot, Mrs. Z. E. Greenwood, Mrs. f.
f. Merrill and Mrs. Ernest Rayner.
Excellent music was furnished by the
Mandolin Club and the High School
orchestra.
The association will hold a social
meeting Wednesday, February 16,
when D. H. Perkins of Portland will
address the meeting. Refreshments
will be served and none but the mem
bers are eligible to attend By the
vote of the Association however, each
member is privileged to invite a guest
by paying ten cents to Mrs Ora Val
lier. who is chairman of the commit

An Appropriation of $4,000 Soon
Available

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. Sen
ator Burleigh has a number of letters
from iumbermen in Maine, expressing
their interest over a federal appro-
priation to prevent white pine blister
rust in the forests of that State. The
senator co-operated in securing an
appropriation of $4,000 for this pur-
pose, which sum will shortly be avail
able. Agents of the department OF
agriculture will shortly be sent to

ton and determine how the fight

Speaking of Ayrshires reminds us
that a few extra good ones may be
seen at the barn of Cyrus Newton. a
Skowhegan milkman. Quite a num-
Der of years ago, Mr.. Newton made
several purchases from the Ness herd
and two or three bulls have been
bought in Canada. One of the first
animals bought of DR.. Ness was the
grand old COW, Duchess of Athel
1909, a typical Ayrshire of her time,
that had been prize-winner both in
and out of the state. Two or three
of her descendants now owned by Mr.
Newton are good enough for anybody.
While Mr. Newton still regards the
Ayrshires well adapted to the needs
of the milkman, he found as he was
situated he could not engage to much
extent in breeding without curtailin &
his business of milk producing; he
has, therefore, kept only a limited
number of purebred cows, but it
would take a pretty good offer to
move one or two that he has.-Maine

A Personal Word to the Voters Of the
Sixteenth legislative District,

OIAGQHtu LGSSdtIvG UISlllGl.
There has been much said about the dongs of the last
Legislature, especially regards farmers relation there
ed and feel that the voters desire both sides of the
order that they estimate with accuracy and vote with
fairness to ALL
So far as am personally concerned conscious of|
having cast vote against any interest of state much
less the farming interest for from selfish standpoint
IL could not afford to do
In this issue of the Pioneer am giving my side of the
case and something of legislative dongs general for your
careful considerations and know from years experience
in North Dakota dealing with the farmers that the vast
majority of them want to do and aim do the right thing
1t is true that in state abuses creep but let
not effort to correct these go the extreme to
which it in danger of going, of building up
sentiment of antagonism between town and country and
in effect say that unless farmer he should not be
ia member of the Legislature.
Charles Reade, the novelist entities of his books Put
Yourself in His Place, am going to ask you to imagine
that your Lathrop that your friends urged you
become candidate for Representative you did and tried
the best of your ability Then after you consd
the record carefully you think it is such that if it
had been yourself that had made it, you would feel that it
warranted your friends and refusing endorse
you for reelection "Just fair play; that's all"
