Be Careful in Using

Most soaps and prepared shampoos

and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap
and beats the most expensive soaps or
anything else all to pieces. You can

and rub it in; about teaspoonful is
all that Is required. It makes an

The foreman had been ordered to rid

could of It. He hired three city boys

Farmers can do the same thing IN

Special to Times Republican.
Nevada, Aug. 1O.--Judge E. M. Nc
Call filed his decision yesterday in a
case that will be of vital interest t.
public service lines all over the state
when he held that the Cedar valley
Hydraulic Company was liable for the
cost Of converting a grounded tele-
phone line into a metallic circuit line
The case was submitted on an admit
ted statement of facts in vacation and
was from Franklin county.
In cases where a high tension cleo
trio line is constructed parallel to q
telephone line which Is grounded
line, such as the ordinary country lines
are constructed. the service is impaired
unless the telephone line is made a
metallic circuit line. The case mad
previously been taken up by the rail-
way commission but they had divided
on the question.
Question Of Liability Settled.
In the case in question the high ten
sion. people had constructed their nne
alongside that of a line belonging to
small independent telephone COM
pany and the matter had been taken
into the courts, the plaintiff seeking TO
recover from the high tension people
the amount that 1t costs them to con-
vert their line into metallic circuit
line. Judge Mccall holds that they are
liable for the amount claimed, which
amounts to but about $500. The ques-
ton involved Is the important point IN
the matter, however. and not the
amount.
This case will doubtless be appealed
to the supreme court and the matter
will be decided. thus securing a SUI
preme court opinion on an important
question regarding public service lines
and their rights. ~, .--

Get Busy When Two thirds to Three.
fourths Of Seed Is Mature.
Just when is the best time to cut
sweet clover for seed is problem De-
cause of the non-uniform ripening OF
the seed. The same stalk usually con-
tains seed which is dead ripe. some
green and some flowers. This makes
1t impossible to pick time for cut
ting to save all the seed.
1t is best, say the farm crops men
at Iowa state College, to. cut when
from two-thirds to three-fourths OF the
seed LIS mature and the pods are straw
colored At this time nearly all the
leaves will be shed. To avoid shat

plants are slightly damp with rain 0!

to use in harvesting. Shock the bum
