' CD no IlltbI responsibility
The Farmers Friend.
| A fellow in a country town
Frantically cried Robbers" III
and down;
And for sixteen bucks apiece, offer,
ed full protection
TN keep you from all harm,
And I'll save your little farm,
If you'll do as l say at election"
A wealthy farmer the great offel
heard.
And believed the whole thing wort
for word
But to himself in whispers said
Il really don't know what thc
rows about
But BY Jimminy! I will soon find
out
And if he can bring the trusts tc
time-go ahead"
The election swept DER us like a
blizzard.
They got the whole bunch from "a
to lizard"
Except poor Casey he was out oil
luck)
They did it up and they did il
slick:
A silly song and buttons-'WeI
stick"
Some now have changed the tune
to We're stuck"
They landed them all from the gov
ernor down
To the mayor of our town
So we expected all kinds Of protec-
But taxes went up. and expenses
arose.
Ut was on account of the war ]
suppose,)
But for the evils of waste-no cor
rectton.
Paar Taxpayer Hodge was Disguised
He sought out the man he had
trusted,
His wrath was a sight to behold.
For a year and more I've been
waiting
To give these here trusts a good
beating
And you've done nothing but
grumble and scoid.
why don't you cut down the ex-
penses
Or build some permanent de-
ACA4SCS
I'd surely like something to show
For that perfectly good sixteen in
money
Your financial methods are funny,
And my suspicious are beginning
to grow"
''Sir," the farmers friend cautioned,
Don't boiler out so,
The Old Gang will hear, don't you
know,
And they'll think that you farmers
are slow.
But upon my word, Hodges,
Those were merely some OF my
To accumulate some OF your
dough"
That little old spiel that gave you,
And the promises also quite a few,
They were some things made only
to sell:
But when get this new plan
projected
And the hundred from each one col
lected,

There is one sure way that has
never failed to remove dandruff at
once, and that is to dissolve II, then
you destroy it entirely. To do this,
just get about four ounces of plain,
common liquid arvon from any drug
store (this is all you will need), APP
ply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub
1t in gently with the finger tips.
BY morning, most IL not all, Of
your dandruf win be gone, and three
or four more applications will COM
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace Of 1t,
no matter how much dandruff you
may have.
You will find all itching and dig
ging OF the scalp will stop instantly,
and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft. and look and
feel a hundred times better.-Adv.

BONUS FOR WHEAT ACREAGE

Great stress has been laid on con-
servation Of food. and with good
cause, but the more important phase
Of increasing production has been
given less attention than it deserves.
In order to conserve there must be
something to conserve, and before the
housewife can save white flour, the
farmer must grow the wheat.
Therefore the suggestion Of Julius
II. Barnes, head Of the food admin
istration grain corporation, is Of
special Importance at this time. Mr..
Barnes would pay bonus to farm
ers based on their 1918 wheat acre
age. No specific figure has been sug-
gested by Mr.. Barnes. but he offers
At as a possible method Of increasing
the wheat production without dis
rupting the entire food program by
raising the wheat price over that paid
last year. Flour prices are based on
the 1920 wheat scale, and on the
-four prices are based a wage scale.
The greatest confusion would result
from any change in the wheat price,
and yet much acreage that should be
planted to wheat may be put into
other grains for the simple reason
that they promise better returns. But
Mr.. Barnes suggestion Of a bonus
paid for wheat acreage, would offset
this and It is well worth consider
ing.

Hoover Finds Food
Situation Improved
In Allied Countries

New York, Aug. 23-Herbert c
Hoover, United States food admins
traitor. returned today from his trir
abroad.
The food situation in the allied
countries was described as encourag
ing by Mr.. Hooker.
On the other hand, he said, a severe
drouth in Roumania and Bulgaria
gives indication that Germany will be
disappointed in her expectations OF
grain importations. He declared
there is little likelihood of any ex-
tensve shipments of Roumanian food
IN to the central empires, either this
year or next.
The Belgian food situation is much
improved, the administrator said, and
although the people are mot on full
rations, the outlook is bright.
Asserting that we have to make
good" pledge to this effect which
he had given to the allied food adj
miniStrators while sitting "at COM
mon table in a common cause" Mr.
Hoover said that, to do so, America
will next year have to supply the al
lies 4,0O0,OO0,000 pounds Of fats, 900,-
100000 pounds of beef products, 500,-
100000 bushels Of cereals, and l,500,-
600 tons of sugar. However, Mr..
Hoover added, beginning September
|, there will be no need for drastic
food rationing in the allied countries
except in the case of sugar and beef.
