AIDS IN HUNT FOR BUDDHA
Chinese Government Assists in Search
for Youth in,Whom Soul of Hutuh-
ktu Is Reincarnated.

Peking.-One of the important civ
ing BuddhaS" of Mongolia, the old
Kanchurwa Hutuhktu, recently died
and his senior disciple, Lama Axe
wangyenlinpuleh, is now in Picking
preparing to make a pilgrimage into
Tibet in search of young boy in
whom the soul of the old Hutuhktu
has been reincarnated.
The Chinese government has grant
ed the Lama the use of private car
to the end of the government railway
in Mongolia, and from that point he
will proceed by caravan into Tibet,
where he will search for young
Buddha to replace his old master.
Inquiries will be made by him in
Tibet for boys born in a miraculous
way, with divine signs, such as red
light or other forms of supposed di-
vine manifestations, at about the time
the old Hutuhktu passed away. All
the boys thus obtained will be then
carried to LhaSsa, where their names
will be written on slabs of wood and
placed in q golden urn. The boy
whose name is first drawn out after
due ceremony will be declared the re-
embodiment of the dead Buddha.

FARMERS URGED
TO SHOP EARLY
Nation Wide Campaign to Pro-
mote Earlier Buying of
Supplies.
CAR SHORTAGE THE REASON
Contested Condition of Railroads
Urged as Reason Why Farmers
Should Purchase Supplies in
Time for Spring Planting.

New YOrk.-A nationwide campaign
to promote earlier buying and ship
ping of fertilizers, seeds, lime, farm
machinery and other supplies and ma
terialS for spring use has been started
by the National Fertilizer association
here, in order that the goods may be
moved and delivered to the farmers in
time for use this spring. On account
of the congeSted condition and lack OF
cars on the railroads, indications are
TINT unless earlier shipments than
usual are made the supplies will not be
delivered in time for use. Without the
necessary supplies, serious damage
would be caused by next years crops.
To Extend Shipping Season.
By calling attention to the serious
car shortage, it is hoped that the nor
NAL shipping season of six or eight
weeks may be extended over three
months, enabling the railroads to move
the plantfood, seeds, lime and other
supplies before the spring planting sea-
son opens.
Shipping conditions have been grow
ing worse instead of better, according
to the announcement made by PreSi-
dent Horace BOWker of the National
Fertilizer association. The car short
age on September 1 was 10000 freight
cars. he said. On October 1, the short
age had increased to 10000 cars, on
November 1 to 10000 cars and on De
cember to approximately 100000 cars
The usual practice of farmers has
been to delay ordering their spring
supplies for fertilizer until just before
the season opened, thus crowding ~
per cent of the shipments of fertilizer
for spring crops into 4 period of from
six weeks TO two months.
Manufacturers declare that 1T will be
impossible for the railroads to move
the 100000 tons normally used each
spring, unless supplies are purchased
earlier than ever before.
Some of the Advantages.
Other advantages of early ordering
and shipping are that farmers are able
TO haul the supplies to their farms be-

THICK, GLOSSY HAIR
FREE FROM DANDRUFF
Girls! Try It! Hair gets soft, fluffy and
beautifuI-Get 25 cent bottle
of Danderine.

If you care for heavy hair that glis-
tens with beauty and is radiant with
life; has an incompatible sOftness and
is fluffy and lustrous, try Danderine.
Just one application doubles the
beauty of your hair, besides it imme-
diately dissolveS every particle of
dandruff. You can not have nice
heavy, healthy hair if you have
dandruff. This destructive scurf robs
the hair Of it's luStre, its strength and
it's very life, and if not overcome it
produces a feverishness and itching of
the scalp; the hair roots famish,
loosen and die; then the hair falls out
fast. Surely get 25-cent bottle OF
Knowlton's Danderine from any drug
store and just try it.-Adv.

many cases ION the snow, before the
roads break up in the spring. In view
of the serious shortage of food prod
ucts and the necessity for large crops
during the coming season, every effort
is being made by farmers to secure
large yields and the cOrrespondingly
large profits which come from high
prices, and the demand for fertilizers
this spring is expected to be larger
