more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every single

dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop instantly.
and your hair will be fluffy, 1ustrous.

When the Boy Comes Back.

Logan Observer: Say, you folks
that have sent boy to the army, you
can hardly realize how much good
that training is going to do him.
When he comes home he will stand
erect: he will look you right in the
eye: his head will be right up in the
air, he will be muscular as a prize
fighter and as active as baseball
player, and he will have a springing.
elastic step that will be delight to
you. He will have bounding health,
for he is going to keep regular hours.
eat proper food at the regular times
and he VIII get enough sleep When
he comes back you'll be glad he went,
because he will be a handsomer, better
boy. And another thing about him
he'll know enough to rise and salute
when the flag goes by or the band
plays 1.-THE Star Spangled Banner"
which is more than some of the folks
at home do. We know, for we have
watched them.

COLD AND DRY
WEEK ON FARMS
Last Iowa Crop Bulletin for Season
Tells Of Conditions in State
at End Of tho
Meet

The last Iowa weather and crop
service bulletin for the season, mas
Just been issued for the week end
ing October 8 as follows:
The week was much colder and
drier than usual, the temperature be-
ing about Z degrees below the nor
NAL. and the rainfall was practically
nil. The frost of October LIST was
much more damaging over the south
eastern counties than was reported
last week; the one on the 9Th was
killing in all parts OF the state ex-
cept over the extreme western ana
southwestern counties and the hard
freeze on the Sth was general IN all
districts.
About 40 per cent Of the corn in
the northeastern counties has Deen
seriously damaged, with less injury
toward the west and south to the eX-
IRENE southwestern corner OF the
state, where the damage probably
did not exceed more than l to 3 per
cent and most Of that only slight
Considering the crop as whole,
about 70 to rs per cent was fully ma
ture. 10 to 10 per cent was slightly
damaged and the remainder will be
soft or chaffy, depending on the
next few weeks. The total yield will
be greater than last year, and the
condition of the crop in the north
eastern district Is much better than
it was in 1915 when killing frost and
freezing temperature occurred in that
district on August 30th. A great deal
more than the usual amount Of the
crop is in shock or silo on account Of
the shortage of the hay crop. Much
more should be selected at once from
the best of the frosted fields and
properly cared for, as good seed corn
will be in demand next spring. Pop
corn husking will begin in Ida and
Sac counties in about ten days. Both
the yield and quality of this crop is
good. The yield of potatoes is turn
ing out fairly well, the quality is gem
orally good and the output Will be
much larger than last year on account
Of a greatly increased acreage. 1t is
thought that winter apples may have
been damaged by the hard freeze on
the Sth. Good soaking rains are now
needed for fall sown grains, grass
lands and for the water supply, then
clear, cool weather for drying out the
corn.
Notwithstanding the fact that fall
grains were badly winter7killed and
that the planting season was cold
and wet and the summer unusually
cool, Iowa has done her share toward
feeding the nation and the world.
The small grain crops were excep.
tionally good; there will be consider
ably more than the normal amount Of
corn and the truck crops were excel
lent.

Unusual Demand for Labor.

Owing to the unusual demand Tor
labor Of all kinds caused by the war,
the United States civil service com
mission is having great difficulty IN
supplying the needs of the depart
ments and offices at Washington, D.
c., for typewriter operators and for
stenographers and typewriters, and
1t has asked the woman's committee
to assist it in bringing to the atten-
ton of women throughout the country
an opportusity for them to help the
government in a practical way.
THE commission urges, on the
ground of patriotism, that women
who are trained in stenography or
typewriting, or both, enter open com
petitive examinations at once, and
that those who have not such train
ing Immediately undergo instruction
in exactly the same spirit that has
moved them to attend classes in first
aid nursing-that is, the spirit OF
helpfulness. Hundreds Of business
schools throughout the country are
prepared to give this training, and
proficiency in typewriting may be
acquired at home through careful
study and close application.
