YOU CAN'T BRUSH OR
WASH OUT DANDRUFF

The only sure way to get rid Of
dandruff Is to dissolve 1t, then
you destroy 1t entirely. To do
this, get about four ounces Of or
binary liquid arvon; apply 1t at
night when retiring; use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub 1t in
gently with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morn
ing, most II not all, of your dand-
ruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will COM
pletely dissolve and entirely de-
stroy every single sign and trace
of 1t, no matter how much dand-
ruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itch
ing and digging of the scalp will
stop at once, and your hair will
be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky
and soft, and look and feel a
hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t Is inexpensive and
never fails to do the work.

Water Power
EDITOR THE TIMES:

EDllOh i NE AimGo.
The great war in which our ma
ton is engaged will be won not
alone by food and men, but by me-
chanical power as well.
without mechanical power we
could not make or move the
weapons with which we fight -
guns, ammunition, ships, and sup
plies. Our national resources OF
power. whether from coal, Oil, or
waterpower, are national war ne
cessities. We need them to win
the war.
In this gigantic struggle our se-
curity requires US to use all these
great resources, and to use them
wisely and we'll. The people Of
the United States own some 30
million undeveloped water horse
power, or about enough to run
every train, trolley, factory, mill,
mine, and elecrtic power plant we
have.
For 10 years the friends OF
conservation have urged the de-
velopment Of public waterpowers
in the public interest.
But development has been held
back by a little group of water
power magnates and their friends
in congress who have blocked all
Legislation which would not give
them these valuable properties
forever and for nothing.
Today, when the nation needs
all Its resources, the same men
who have been blocking reasona-
BILE waterpower legislation own
and are holding millions of wa
tier horsepower undeveloped and

Socialism
EDITOR THE TIMES:

In reply to Otto Christensen
article headed Socialism" in your
last issue, would say the best book
one can read on what 1t has ac-
complished is Social Welfare in
New Zealand" by Lusk, public
library.
But there can be no socialism
In this country while Kaiser Bill
wants to be. boss. We can only
liken him and his military regime
to the officials of kangaroo courts
in jails who misuse the tobacco
fund by browbeating the rest of
the inmates, and this Is only a
very mild example of what is
actually taking place amongst the
higher-ups.
To propagate socialism now to
the exclusion of patriotism is to
play into the hands of the kaiser,
which means universal boss rule
with vengeance.
Yours,
A. B. SELBY.

TEXAS PROFITABLE CROP.

Under this beading the Manufacturers
Record tells of the peanut in Texas a. fol
Texas l. expected 10 plant more
than SOC. 900 acres in peanuts this
year. There has been a tremendous
increase in the acreage devoted t.
peanuts in Texas. and t~wenty-~even
mills are now equipped for crushing
peanuts. The average WELD in East
Texas last year was forty-two bushels
To the acre. The oil companies expect
10 pay from 20 cents To II per bu~hel.
At 40 cents a bushel the price receiv-
ed for an acre of peanuts would thus
be S2a.40, and with peanut hay bring
ing Sl4 per acre, the total average re-
turn is Si3.40.
With the greatly increased demand
for vegetable oils there has grown up
a steady and reliable market for pea
nuts. This condition must continue
: at least until some time after the war,
and at the present prices peanuts are
found to be a very profitable and de
sirable crop from every standpoint.
The peanut is particularly adapted to
light sandy soils. and in East Texas
and elsewhere throughout the South
where favorable soil conditions exist
there has been greatly increased at
tenfion given to the crop, with decided
profit to those who have engaged in
their production.
IT, Observation-Disclosures D.l II.
There has been a wonderful increase in th
acreage devoted Ia the peanut in this stat,
But the Manufacturers Record does no
tell nalf the story.
Instead Of 800. 600 acres in peanuts thi
wear, Texas Is planting twice that acreage
And if the oil mills expect 10 get Texa
peanuts for 20 cents t. II a buShel Their
j. a strong probability they will be di>ap

Texas planted 800 00 acres in peanut
in 1916 and Texas farmer, were paid NOR
than $4,000. 600 for the crop. Most a
them kept the hay which later becam
worth $40 per ton i'm any market.
1t is true some of the peanuts grown j
1916 sold as low a 20 cents a bushel, lon
ii j. also true that a large part of th
crop sold for $3.50 to - and the averag
must have been about ~1.25. Ii l. scared
