ToDAY'S BEAUTY HELP.

advantage by washing it with can

pensive shampoo, which cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly Of all the
dandruf, dirt, and excess oil, leaving
wonderfully clean, wholesome feel

the hair dries quickly and evenly, is
never streaked in appearance and is
always bright, soft, and fluffy; so
fluffy in fact that It looks more abun-
dant than it is, and so soft that ar
ranging it becomes a pleasure. Just
use a teaspoonful of canthrox which
you can get from any good druggist,
dissolve it in a cup of hot water; this
makes a full cup of shampoo liquid,
enough so it is easy to apply il to ali
the hair instead of just the top of
the head-Adv.

cadets who came to Washington to
escort the Vice President to the Cap
itol on Monday and made a very
handsome showing in the parade. Vice
President and Mrs. Marshall's ball for
the cadets proved to be one Of the
most delightful functions of the sea-
son and the younger set was present
in large numbers, even unto the
third and fourth "subdeb." Pracri-
cally every official hostess arrived at
the ball with three or four young
girls in tow, many of whom will not
be presented to society for season
or two hence. The young soldiers,
many of them in uniform, were a
splendid foil for so much youth and
beauty and rarely has a more at
tractive scene been presented at any
Capital function.
The Culver cadets returned the hos
pitality on the following evening with
a large theater party for the Vice
President and Mrs. Marshall. when
Col. and Mrs. Gignilliat, who were
entertained extensively during their
visit to Washington, were joint hosts.
Theater parties were much in vogue
for the young visitors last week, for,
though the activity of officialdom was
the cynosure of interest, the younger
set had its inning no less surely. Stu
dents from the schools and colleges
poured into the Capital for the in
augural ceremonies and scarcely a
household but had a horde of young
viSitors to entertain. The Secretary
OF The Navy and Mrs Daniels gave
one OF the prettiest dinner dances of

But. with the exodus of the visi-
'ors. which is about complete, the
Capital is settling down to a moro
strict OF ervance of Lenten tenets. A
number OF Congressional folk have
already departed and others are mid
way in preparation while they await
the administrations decision anent
extra sessions. Large numbers from
residential circles have slipped off to
Aiken or toe Virginia Springs, and
still others. who sojourned at the
Florida resorts, are returning North
with the closing Of the season there.
The preparedness advocates and the
war relief organizations have resum-
ed their interrupted schedules and in a
day or two the last trace OF the inau-
gural excitement will have vanished.
New York society is devoting its
energies to fashionable sewing classes
which turn out all kinds OF articles
for charity and provide diversion for
the smart matron and dcbutante. But
Washington has not taken kindly to
the fad, preferring, perhaps, to keep
up its pet charities less ostcntatiousiy.

GIVE HEssIAN FLY NO CHANGE.

Raleigh, N. c., Oct. ga poster now
being distributed from Washington to
county farm agents gives a map and
calendar by which the studious far
mer can ascertain the best dates to
SOW wheat to be safe both from Hes
sian Fly and from winter-killing. The
poster indicates a reasonably safe pc
Rod" OF ten days duration in any To-
cality. but the dates vary according ia
latitude. elevation, and other factors.
The plan was devised after many
tests in several States and such study
of ~corrobatiYe evidence. Its applica-
ton to North Carolina has been studied
by Mr.. Sherman LEntomoIogist, and
dates derived from it have been APP
proved by several farm agents in typi-
cal wheat-growing counties.
And farmer who is not able to con-
suit n of these posters, OF who is in
doubt about the safest dates for ow-
ing wheat in his locality, is advised to
write to Mr.. Sherman. With the great
increase in wheat acreage to be sown
this fall, it is of the utmost Importance
that the sowing should be done at the
bets possible time. Copies of the pos
ter are being mailed to all millers
over the State, in order that they may
advise as to the best time to SOW when
selling wheat for seed.

Typical Speech A1-fOr first 1Odays.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Few of us here perhaps realize that
a crisis in the world war centers this
month in America.
What we do this month is of more
Importance than a victory on miles
land miles of front.
Why? Because America is raising
her second, greater. SO. 600. 600, 900 Lib
erty Loan.
Oh. no; nobody worries whether or
not We raise the money; but shall we
raise it quickly. with a hip hip hurrah
for every American soldier?
To those who drowned our women
and children we shall hurl back our
ansWed: "A billion a week to win"
Peace? Why, the Prussian nobility
still demand some reward" for their
victories. Ruling the largest army
they W. had they'll drown their sub
jects in blood before giving up their
divine rights.
But, no matter what Americans may
hold about the war-on the Liberty
Loan there can be no two opinions.

will go to the trenches-and more will
go and still more-until the decisive
day. Hence, the better you help now
the harder we strike. And the harder
we strike the sooner the end OF the
bloodshed. Every dollar you lend
your country now will mean a saving
of American blood.
Billions must come from the mill
1innG Tho Gnyornnnonf ond that ic
! really all~of us together, needs every
mans little fifty or hundreds dollars,
whatever he can afford.
So think it over, figure out just how
much you can afford. A few dollars
down gets a bond and for the balance
you can arrange with any bank or your
Iemployer to pay out of savings Just
because these are doubtful times you
should make up your mind to start
this day the habit of saving then put
your money where it's safest.
You understand, of course, that this
United States Government bond, called
Liberty Bond, is a. promise authorized
unanimously by Congress to pay you
your money back with good foul per
cent interest, a promise signed by all
1.-THE 10000, 900 Americans, including
(mention leading names) and every
other American multimillionaire. 1t
is like a mortgage on every acre of
ground, On every iron mine, every
wheat stack, and every barn and build
ing in all the United States. 1t is tax
free to common folks, and ! can show
you how you can keep your bond in
absolutely safe-keeping, safer than
any place you can keep currency. You
can cash your bond any day, or Dor
row on it more quickly and easier
than on life insurance.
Yes; this bond-here is one-is the
worlds safest and best investment.
There is not much time to lose,
Soon all the bonds will be sold. Five
million good patriotic Americans help
ed on the first Liberty Loan.
Those who bought before, will buy
more. And you as a good loyal Amer
ican-I know you. too. will be one OF
us.

the bonds are selling some without a

are not taking hold of the bonds as
they should.

THE IMPORTANCE OF
SAVING GOOD SEED NOW.

West Raleigh. N. c., Oct. 8.-The
present high price of all farm products
is likely TO take a large portion of our
seers to market early. This will
cause a shortage of good planting seed
next spring. The grower who fails to
save food seed this fall will have to
pay a high price for inferior seed next
spring. Let's begin right 10Y to save
seed from our most productive plants.
The following are simple rules to fol-
olw in the breeding Of all crops
/. Save seed from plants that are
Productive an dof good quality.
2. Allow the seed to ripen thorough
Iy on the plant.
3. Seed should be thoroughly dried
before storing.
4. feed should be stored in a dry
place, well protected from rats, mice
ard bugs.
