wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shamr COS
certain TOO much alkaE. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is
very harmful. Just plain mulsified
cocoanut Gil (Which is pure and en-
tirely gredseless), is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you Can use for shampooing. as
this cant possibly injure the HAIR.
Simply n oisten your hail with wa
ter and rub it in. One or two rea-
spoonfuls will make an abundance of
rich. creamy lather. and cleanses tho
hair ami scalp thoroly. The lather
rirses out easily, and removes every
particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and
excessive Gil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly. and it leaves 1t fine and
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to man
age.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store 1t is very
cheap, ard a few ounces is enough
to last everyone in the family for

Chester Dewey, the gentleman who presented the Yuma Commercial Club with the old Mission bell found on the Yuma Heights Orange Grove, is the best known fruit expert in the state of California He was here for several weeks pruning the big orange grove on the mesa and had ample opportunity to judge what effect our very coldest weather has on citrus fruit trees on the mesa.
 I had many pleasant conversations with him about citrus fruit culture while he was here and finally pur- suaded him to agree to give me his i'm pressions before he left. However, or the appointed day I was absent, down near the Gulf of Lower California, in search of the United States army avia- tors, Colonel Bishop and Lieutenant Robertson. But MT.

in citrus fruit culture on our unsur- passed mesa.
 Now let me speak of your mesa lands and frostless belt" says MT. Dewey in his memorandum. "I find the Yuma mesa oranges are the sweet est I have ever tasted for the winter months.
 I have pruned trees, set out trees, budded trees all over the San Joaquin valley. California, around Porterville, Lindsey, Strathmore, and Terra Bella. The soil there is dry bog, the same as here on the mesa, which is the fin est soil in the world for citrus culture. Most all the fruit in the San Joaquin Valley is picked before Christmas. WHY? Just to escape the heavy frosts of that section. Last November the frost caught them before they were ready, with the result that nearly half the crop was frozen.
 Yuma has the great advantage over the San Joaquin valley, for the reason that Yuma mesa lands never have any killing frosts. You don't have to go to the tremendous expense of "smud- ging."
