PARK COMMISSION PLAN
FOR TEMPORARY BUILDING
Suggestions Made by Members Of the
Washington Society of
the Fine Arts.

Suggestions are being made by mem.
bers of the Washington Society of the
Fine Arts that the temporary buildings
to be erected in this city to house gov
ernment activities incident to the war;
be put up in conformity with park
commission plans and thus give an IL
lustration of how the plan would work
out in stone and marble.
Because these buildings are tempo
rary is no reason why they should not
have good proportions and good color,
as it would add nothing to their cost"
said Glenn Brown, president of the So
ciety of the Fine Arts. Along the Mall
on B street north and south. the old
George Washington plan called for gov
ernment buildings. leaving an open
space between these buildings of 900
feet. If the temporary buildings could
be built along street north and south,
leaving the opening called for in the
park commission plan we would have
temporary illustration of the completed
Mall in accordance with Washington's
original idea.
THE park commission proposed
very wonderful scheme of terraces
around the Washington monument so
necessary to give it scale and dignity.
These terraces some thousands of feet
in length might be built as temporary
buildings. which could be done without
increasing their cost. SO that every one
would be able to appreciate the i'm
portance of perpetuating them in mar
BILE and stone"

employed in growing and handling the crop. The market price per bushel of seed for sowing purposes varies in diff ferent sections, ranging from S1 In large seed producing sections of the South to g and 8 per bushel in the central and middle Atlantic states. Yields of seed to the acre in various sections of the United States range from about 15 bushels of 60 pounds each in the northern states to about 70 bushels In the northern half of the Cotton Belt. The average yield in eastern North Carolina Is about 2S bushels, although many fields produce 35 bushel or more to the acre.
 Climate plays an important part in yields and the oil content of the seed. Considerable differences occur in the oil content of soy beans grown in diff ferent localities. The same variety grown In Mississippi and Ohio, for ex- ample, yielded respectively 25.4 per cent and 17.5 per cent of oil. The soy bean lends itself readily to improve ment by breeding, and experiments in- dicate the possibility of securing va- rieties of high oil content by selec- ton.

Save Your Hair! Get a 25 Cent Bottle of Danderine Right Now-AIso
 Steps Itching Scalp. ..

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy hair is mute evidence of a neglected scalp; of dandruff-that awful scurf.
 There is nothing so destructive to the hair as dandruff. It robs the hair of its luster, its strength and its very life; eventually producing a feverish- ness and itching of the scalp. which if not remedied causes the hair roots to shrink, loosen and die-then the hair falls out fast. A little Danderine tonight-now-any time-will surely save your hair.
 Get a 9 cent bottle of Knowlton's Danderine from any store, and after the first application your hair will take on that life, luster and luxuriance which is so beautiful. It will become wavy and fluffy and have the appear ance of abundance; an incomparable gloss and softness, but what will please you most will be after just a few weeks use. when you will actual ly see lot of fine, downy hair-new hair-growing all over the scalp.

WHAT \ JEWElRY FIRM DID
They Invested Some of Their Spare Money in Canadian
 Lands.

S. Joseph & Sons, of Des Moines, Iowa, are looked upon as being shrewd. careful business men. Having some spare money on hand. and looking for a suitable investment, they decided to purchase Canadian lands, and farm it.
 With the assistance of the Canadian Government Agent, at Des Moines, Iowa, they made selection near Cham pion. Alberta. They put 240 acres of land in wheat, and in writing to Mir. Hewitt. the Canadian Government Agent at Des Moines. one of the mem bers of the firm says:
 ''I have much pleasure in advising you that on our farm five miles east of Champion. in the Province of Al berta. Canada, this year Q918 we har- vested and threshed 10.GQO bushels of wheat from 2i0 acres, this being m average of A bus1els and 10 pounds to the acre. A considerable portion of the wheat was No. 1 Northern, worth at Champion approximately s1.S5 per bushel, making a total return of s1961O. or an average of SS1.70 per acre gross yields. Needless to say, we are extremely well pleased with our lands"
 It might not be uninteresting to read the report of C. A Wright of Milo, Iowa, who bought 16O acres at Cham pion. Alberta. for $500 in December. 1915. He stubbled in the whole lot of it. and threshed 4,4S7 bushels Grade No. Northern.
 Mir. Wright, being thorough busi- ness man. gives the cost of work, and the amount realized. These figures show that after paying for his land and cost of operation he had S2,472.67 left.
