Younkin Gets Man
Determined to Join
After Tue Rebuffs

Captain Younkin OF I Company
Third Ohio. has a soldier who believes
in the old saw, IF at first you don't
succeed, try. try again."
This soldier is Edward Mullenix, OF
Dayton. and he re-enlisted in com.
pany here late last night. This was
the second time he had tried to enlist
after being discharged from the serv-
ice before the Ohio regiment went to
the border last year.
When l company was at Camp Viii.
lis, Mullenix was struck by An auto

waiting at the station. He wanted to
re-enlist and Captain Younkin gave

'SPuDs AS PREMIUMS

NEW YORK, May 14.-In sections
of the city where the trading stamp
was popular before the advent Of war
prices. the onion and potato have been
substituted as bait for patronage by
grocers and fruit dealers. In the
Ridgewood section of Brooklyn, a
small potato or onion is given with
each ten cent purchase. At this rate
of profit sharing it is estimated that
every housewife who purchases in
large quantities can carry home a
premium of enough potatoes for a
meal. Motion picture houses also

BEANS

BEANS
Navy Beans-The soil in Richmond
is we'll adapted for the growth of navy
beans, and they will be found a very
profitable crop. In this locality, navy
beans should not be planted earlier
than the first week in June. They
may be planted as late as the first of
July. The navy bean is a warm-season
crop and should be planted SO that
growth takes place during warm
weather.
1t is very essential to have the soil
well prepared for beans. Beans should
not be planted deeper than II inches
in this locality inasmuch as the soil
is rather heavy. Wherever seeds are
planted rather shallow-as in the case
of beans in this locality-the soil must
be well prepared in order to prevent
drying out to the depth at which the
seeds are planted. In the case of
sandy soils, beans may be planted as
deep as 3 inches. Navy beans should
be planted about inches apart In the
rows. The rows should be 20 to so
inches apart.
Because of the peculiar habit Of
beans in gernlinating-the two thick
ened seed leaves (cotyledous) coming
through the ground-it is rather diff
cult for bean plants to push their way
through the soil. If the soil should be
packed slightly by a rain after the
beans have been planted, it should be
scratched with rake in order that
the bean plants can easily come
through to the surface. It is very diff
ficult for bean plants to push their
way through crusted SOIL
After the beans are through the
ground, they should be given frequent,
shallow, cultivation.
Navy beans are used only as dry
shelled beans.
Strong Beans-String beans may be
planted just as soon as the danger OF
frost Is over. Dwarf or bush varieties
are usually grown in the home garden

Use Cocoanut Oil 7
 For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in good condition. be careful what you wash 1t with.
 Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkaH. This dries the scalp. makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and en- tirely easeless), is much better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use for shampeodng, as this can't possibly inture the hair. y
 Simply moisten your hair with water and rub 1t in. One or two tea spoonfuls will make an abundance of rich. creamy lather, and eleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruf and ex- cessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and 1t leaves 1t fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage.
 You can get mulsffied cocoanut oil ct most any drug store. It is very cheap, and few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family for months.
