GH0VI5 NEED

Advantage Of Farmer Legislature
Brought Out In Congressional
investigation.

When Congressman Baer Of North
Dakota first introduced in
his resolution providing an appropri-
alton of S50,000,000 to buy feed and
seed for farmers who had suffered
crop failures in the past two years,
SO that a big acreage of spring wheat
can be planted this season, most all
OF his colleagues merely smiled. They
thought it a joke. to ask the House
II Senate to really come to the aid
OF farmers in an emergency, even
though helping the farmer would
save the country from famine.
Hoover Appeared at Hearing.
When the House committee on Agri-
culture gave an all-day hearing to
Baer's resolution, and then called up
on Herbert Hoover and Secretary
McAdoo for advice as to how to deal
with 1T, the other congressman woke
up, Indeed, some of them woke up
sufficiently to come to the hearing,
and take part in the demand for ac-
ton. Rep. Evans of Montana and
Rep. Norton of North Dakota testi-
fed at considerable length, on the
necessity for immediate. Government
aid fcl livestock and seed wheat for
planting.
Rep. Rankin also spoke on the tron-
bles Of $4,000 homesteaders on the
new wheat lands of Eastern Monta-
ma. As these homesteaders have no
title to their land, they cannot bor-
row through the farm loan associa-
lions.
Farmer Legislature Helped.
One of the points brought Duh most
clearly vas the fact that North Da.
kota, having a farmer legislature
elected by the Nonpartisan League.
had acted on its own account, and
had provided for loans to its farmers
for this year. Montana and Oklaho-
ma ana Texas, having the typo Of
gang-ridden legislature. had been I'M
able to protect their farmers.

DANDRUFF SURELY
DESTROYS THE HAIR

Girls-If you want plenty of thick,
beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all
means get rid of dandruff, for 1t Will
starve your hair and ruin it If you
don't.
1t doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dis
solve it, then you destroy it entirely
To do this, get about four ounces of
ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at
night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.
BY morning, most if not all. Of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace of it.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop, and
your hair will look and feel hundred
times better. You can get liquid
arvon at any drug store. 1t is mex
pensive and four ounces is all you will
need, no matter how much dandruff
you have. This simple remedy never
fails.-Adv.

The Third Liberty Loan

The Treasury Department has submitted the
following regarding the third Liberty Loan cam
paign:
The minimum allotment of the third Liberty
Loan of the various states and divisions con1pos-
ing the Seventh Federal Reserve district, as
made by the quota committee, was we'll received
by the several directors of sales and their organ-
cations and the universal opinion expressed
that the third loan will be largely oversubscribed
in every division of the district.
Chicago and Cook county absorbs more than
the small increase of S500O,O0O over the mini
mum of the second Liberty Loan and the mini
mum allotments for the other sections of the dis
trict are less than they were then SO the mark is
regarded as one not only to be achieved but pre-
senting no difficulties in the way of going way
beyond.
Indiana took more than S16,000,O00 over the
quota set for this loan of the second Liberty
Bonds, an average per capita subscription of
S33.23. The $53,OOO,00O called upon to
take of the third loan is only S$4 percent of the
bank resources of the state and the Hooser peo-
pie view the prospect with equanimity,'' is the

it.

thickly and later thinned until the

GARDEN PEAS

Early peas require a rather rich
sandy loan with good drainage in or
der that the first paintings may be
made early in the spring. Fertilizers
that are high in heterogeneous matter
should not be applied to the land i'm
mediately before planting as they will
have tendency to produce too great
growth of vines at the expense of pods.
Land that has been MANFRED the prev
ious year will be found satisfactory
without additional fertilizer While
the sandy loan is to be preferred for
early varieties, good crop can be pro-
duced on almost any good soil.
The first paintings should be Of such
varieties as Alaska, or some of its
notifications, which make small but
quick growth and may or may not be
provided with supports. These should
be planted about two weeks before the
date of the last killing frost, or in fact
may be planted as soon as the ground
is in condition. The tall-growing sorts
of the Telephone type are desirable for
still later use, an account of their large
production and excellent quality.
Peas should be drilled in rows, one
to two pints being sufficient for a 100
foot row. The individual peas should
be placed about / inch apart in the
rows. The distance between rows will
depend upon the kind of cultivation to
be employed. and upon the varieties
used. The dwarf varieties need not be
any farther apart than necessary to in
sure cultivation, while the tall-growing
sorts should not be planted closer than
to 31a feet apart.
A good scheme is to plant two paral-
lei rows of peas about 6 or inches
apart, then leave space of IS inches
or two feet and plant two more rows Of
seed close together. Fewer strings or
less brush will be required to support
them than when planted in single rows
at the greater distances.
If peas are to be grown for immed-
late use only, quart will be enough to
plant at one time. However, If it is
desired to grow peas for canning, large
paintings should be made. If space is
available, it is an excellent plan to
make considerable planting at one
time of some one variety, so that the
peas for canning will be available in
considerable quantities. This enables
the housewife to get the canning out
of the way in a comparatively short
time. Successive paintings of the var
ious varieties of peas should be made
at intervals of about two weeks, until
the weather begins to grow warm,

THAT GREAT GUN

The following facts about the great
German gun, which shoots seventy
miles, are furnished us by Prof. Amos
W. Proudfoot, of Pinconning, Mich,
the man who gained fame by inventing
the Proudfoot cherry pitter and the
round wooden comb used in barber
shops:
1.-The great gun is one mile long,
and, when not in use as a gun, can
be used as Zeppelin hangar.
"A file of men sixteen abreast can
march through it's muzzle.
The propelling force is electricity,
the current being supplied by a power
house which covers one square mile of
ground.
1T takes sixteen men five days and
a half to give it coat of paint.
According to the latest report, this
particular gun was invented by Ger
man, seven Frenchmen and nineteen
American inventors.

graph of it, as no panorama camera
