TAKES OFF DANDRUFF
HAIR STOPS FALLING.
GlrlsI Try This! Makes Hair Thick,
Glossy, Fluffy, BeautifuI-No
More Itching Scalp.

Within ten minutes after an appli-
cation Of Danderine you cannot find a
single trace of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after a
few weeks use, when you see new
hair, fine and downy at first-yes-but
really new growing all over the
scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty of your hair. No diff
ference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten a cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time. The effect is amaz-
ing-your hair will be light, fluffy and
wavy, and have an appearance Of
abundance; an incompatible luster,
softness and luxuriance.
Get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any store, and prove
that your hair is as pretty and soft
as any-that 1t has been neglected or
injured by careless treatment-that's
all-you surely can have beautiful hair
and lots of it if you will just try lit
tie Danderine. Adv.

CAN GET POWER FROM WIND
Possible to Generate Enough EIectrI-
city With Windmill to Supply
Farm, Says Prof. Reid.

Electricity generated by wind power
In sufficient amount to supply large
farm has been found to be possible,
according to C. E. Reid, professor of
electrical engineering in the Kansas
State Agricultural College.
Preliminary tests were made on
this proposition three years ago." said
Professor Reid, "and enough success
was had to make it seem desirable to
continue the tests. In these tests the
generator was belted to the windmill
at the foot of the tower. Friction
losses were enormous. 1t took nine
mile wind to start the mill and the
noise was distracting.
with the first series of tests the
total cost of the plant was SITS, where
as a gasoline engine plant of the same
power and storage capacity would
have cost $500. One-sixteenth of the
time lights would be cut off because
the wind velocity was too small to
run the mill. To overcome this dis
advantage a large battery is necessary
to store up enough current to last dur
ing the calm spells.
In the tests now being conducted,
the generator is mounted on the head
and geared direct to the mill. Ball
and roller bearings are used through
out so that six-mile wind or less will
start the mill. The cost of this plant
is estimated at $3.50 but Improvements
in the windmills would reduce this to
$500.
"The present objection to the use
of windpower for developing electrical
energy is the first cost of the outfit.
Until it is possible to get windmills
which will run on light winds the cost
will not be cut down on account of the
size of battery necessary to store up
current for use when the mill does not
run.

ANY CORN LIFTS OUT,

No fooIishness! Lift your corns
and calluses off with fingers
It's like magicl

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or
any kind of corn, can harmlessly be
lifted right out with the fingers If you
apply upon the corn few drops Of
freezone, says a Cincinnati authority.
For little cost one can get small
bottle Of freezone at any drug store,
which will positively rid ones feet Of
every corn or callus without pain.
This simple drug dries the moment
1t is applied and does not even irri-
tate the surrounding skin while ap-
plying 1t or afterwards.
This announcement will interest
many of our readers. If your druggist
hasn't any freezone tell him to surely
get small bottle for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv.

WESTERN CANADA LEADS
As WHEAT PRODUCER
342, 100000 Bushels Wheat in
1915; In 1916 Many Farm
erS Paid for Their Land
Out of Their Crop.

That Western Canada Is indeed
"Mistress Of Wheat" to the extent that
Its 1915 crop exceeded, acre for acre,
the production of any country on this
continent is striking fact proved by
the following figures:
In 1915 the Dominion of Canada pro-
duced 376,000,000 bushels of wheat,
which represented an average yield of
20 bushels to the acre. The United
States produced 1,011, $685. 900 bushels,
yield Of II bushels per acre. The only
serious competitors in wheat produc-
tlon in South America were Argentine,
with 17S,221 900 bushels, or less than
II bushels per acre, and Chile, with
100000 bushels or 13 bushels per
acre.
provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta produced between them
100000 bushels out of the total Ca
madam 376,000000 bushels. 1t will be
seen, therefore, that, outside of the
United States, Western Canada pro-
duced considerably more than the COM
bined production Of North and South
America. Canada is of course a new
settled country, and the fact that the
crop Of the United States was practi-
cally three times as much Is no dis
couragement. The United States has
at present more than twelve times the
population of Canada in approximately
the same area.
To illustrate further the greater pro-
ductiveness of Western Canadian land,
we submit the following figures, show
ing the 1915 yields per acre in the
three provinces Of Western Canada
and in the states which in that year
produced the greatest quantity of
wheat. The figures are taken from the
U. S. department Of agriculture's an
nual report and from the figures of the
Dominion census bureau:

A MINING DEVICE REJECTED
Shot-Firing Machine Cuts Workmen's
Wages, Declares the Head of
Miners Union.

With the movement for safety first
in the mines being fostered by min
ers and operators and federal and
state departments, Alexander Howat,
district president of the miners union,
has issued an order requiring the re-
moval of the mechanical shot-fring
devices from the ten mines of the
district using them.
Howat said that the order was is
sued because the operators refused
to pay miners in whose rooms shots
had failed to discharge for the work
which they lost. Mechanical firers
are in the experimental stage, he said,
and it is unfair to make the miners
Answering Howat, the operators said
that they were willing to use the old
system in adjusting the matter of un-
exploded shots. If it is the fault Of
the improperly prepared shots the
miner is not paid for loss Of work.
They say that they are willing to
pay If the machine is at fault. In
their district convention nearly year
ago the miners declared for mechan-
ical shot firers as means of reduc-
ing the death toll Of the Kansas
mines.

@kHE QUARTERBREED
GD is a dramatic story of an
Indian reservation in the
great Northwest, centering
around the experiences of
Capt. Floyd Hardy, U. S. A.,
acting agent in command of
the reservation. The heroine
of the story, Marie Dupont, is
a quarterbreed by birth, a
great granddaughter of the
famous chief, Sitting Bull. She
is a beautiful, cultivated girl,
educated and reared in a Ca
madam Convent, and is the one
bit of sunshine in the frontier
life of the army officer who is
soon desperately in love with
her.
But Hardy is cordially hated by two
men-Marie's Father, a trader, and
young Fastener with a political pull
at Washington. They have discovered
a gold mine on the reservation and
are having it worked by the Indians,
paying them in trading goods" for
their labor. Hardy learns of this and
tries to put stop to the practice but
confronts all sorts of trickery and treach-
cry. His enemies use the ignorant
Indians to remove him, melting their
anger against him, who, as the Govern
ment representative is really their best
friend.
If you know anything of the West, you
can realize the possibilities offered in
the groundwork Of the plot, and the
author has made the best use of the
material. There is plenty of action
and many thrills and tense moments.

very large. So large, indeed, was the
acreage under cultivation In 1915 that
the resulting crop proved too large to
be all threshed the same fall. 1t over
loaded railroads, and made marketing
slow. A less amount Of fall blowing
was done than would have been done
in a less heavy year, because the aver
age farmer was too busy with his
threshing. All these conditions neces-
sarily reacted upon the acreage
seeded In the spring Of 1915 Add to
this that labor last year, owing to the
great number of Canadians who have
enlisted, was scarce and hlgh-priced,
and one factor in the decreased yield
smaller acreage under crop was evil
dent.
Another factor Is that this year
Western Canada has experienced, in
common with the entire North Ameri-
can continent, conditions that have
been less favorable to the production
of big crops. The conditions have re-
suited in smaller yield per acre and
reduced grade of grain in certain local
tiles.
The average yield Of wheat In the
three western provinces is estimated
by the government at about 16 bushels
per acre, oats 43 bushels, and barley
81 bushels.
The financial value Of their crops to
Western Canadian farmers has been
greater this year than ever before.
Owing to the high prices Of grain that
are prevailing, returns have been re-
ceived that are extremely profitable.
With wheat standing at the present
time at over $1.90 per bushel at the
Great Lakes, wheat crop at present
figures would pay the farmer, even
supposing he had only the average Of
16 bushels per acre, over $4,000 per
acre. A large number are receiving
$4,000 per acre-some have received
$500, and few even more than that
This price of course, is not all profit |;
1t represents the gross return, and the
cost of operation must be deducted.
but 1t does not, even at the highest fig
ures, cost more than 65 cents to raise
a bushel Of wheat In Western Canada,
so that the profit can be figured accord
lngly. Itsmust be emphasized that the
acre which produces $4,000 crop costs
in the first case, probably less than
that. In the United States the same
class of land would cost in many dis
tricts from $100 to 5000 per acre, and
even then a return of $4,000 would be
considered extremely satisfactory. In
Western Canada the best class Of ag-
ricultural land, capable Of producing
crops that in size compare with any
country in the world except, perhaps,
some European countries, can be OBJ
