Use Cocoanut Oil
 For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in good condition, be. careful what you wash it with.
 Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain mulsifed cocoanut oil (which is pure and entirely grease less), is much better than the most ex- pensive soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't pos- sibly injure the hair.
 Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy father, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The father rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage.
 You can get mulsifed cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap. and a few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family for months.

FARMERS USING FARM LOAN BANKS
 FOR FINANCING
Prof. Hourse of State Uni versity Explains Change
 In Conditions.

Fayetteville, Sept. 6.-Methods Dy which progressive farmers can secure the capital necessary to make the most of the splendid agricultural op- portunities that exist in Arkansas to- day, were explained at farmers pie nics held recently in Carroll. Clark, Little River, Chicot, and Drew coun- ties by Professor B. G. Hourse, head of the department of economies and sociology, University of Arkansas, who has just returned to Fayetteville after spending four weeks cooperat- ing with the agricultural extension division of the university in this work.
 Farmers are using less and less store credit and are, giving fewer mortgages,'' declares Professor Mourse "The farmer is taking his place alongside other businessmen in the intelligent use of his local bank and the federal land banks.
 "Local banks are best suited to comparatively short time enterprises from which cash will be realized with in nine months or year. In this field Arkansas bankers are ready to meet the farmer half way and have already done much in the way of fi- nancing the purchase of hogs, cattle, and better seeds.
 Local farm loan associations are being formed all over the state and the federal farm loan system offers an unparalleled opportunity to the ] farmer who has mapped out a pro gross of development for his far which will take at least five years for it's completion.
 ''The federal farm loan system also offers an opportunity for tenant farm- CTS to advance themselves into the landowning class. While it is true that one can borrow only approxi- mately half the value of the land, the seller will ordinarily take a second mortgage for the balance of the pur chase price or at least for a consider : able part of it. Furthermore, the good crops and high prices which are promised for this year and were en- joyed last year give the tenant an un. usual opportunity for accommodating 8 little capital of his own so that he is in position to pay at least small part of the purchase price with his own money, if the seller so desires.
 "Wideawake bankers all over tho state are supporting the federal farm loan system for they realize that a! Arkansas agriculture develop. through the aid of this outside capi tai, the banking business as we'll a: every other business is bound tt prosper"
