SCHOOL CHILDREN 4
TO MAKE SURVEY

Bismarck, Feb. 28.-Every school
in the state Of North Dakota will
close a week from tomorrow, Fri
day, March 8th, and the teachers
and students will join in one of
the largest undertakings ever at
tempted in this or any other state
the taking of a statewide crop
and labor survey, which is expected
to reach every one Of the $4,000
farm homes In the state.
The statistics which will be gath
cred in this survey will be used by
the federal and state agencies in
supplying the needs Of the farmers
for the growing Of d bumper" wal
crop.
Questionnaires have already been
sent to the county superintendent
Of schools for distribution. A suf-
ficient number of questionnaires
will be sent to every teacher in the
state to reach every farmer in their
respective district. The teacher
will assign the older students of
their school to a certain territory
within the school district, and on
March 9Th and 9th the children will
take the questionnaires around to
the farm homes to have them filed
out.
The questionnaires will be re-
turned to the teachers, properly
filled out on Monday, and the
teacher will proceed to- make sum-
mary Of the school district to be
forwarded to the county superin-
tendent. The county superintend-
ent in turn will compile summary
for the county, to be forwarded to
the office Of the commissioner of
agriculture and labor, who will
compile a summary for the entire
state. The original questionnaires
will be turned over to the county
agricultural agents to aid them In
their work among the farmers.
Three important features will be
covered in the survey, labor, crop
and live stock. The farmer will
estimate the amount Of labor he
will need during the coming sea-
son, will forward report on the acre
age planted, and the amount of live
stock on hand. A survey of the
seed and feed situation will also be
taken with a view of ascertain1ne
the exact amount needed In each
county. - r.. :.

ers to maintain very meager
stock in order to avoid finding
themselves with a large supply Of
high priced material on hand in
case decline In price should occur.
This situation makes it exceed
ingly important for farmers to place
at the earliest possible date all or
ders for new machines and repair
parts which may be needed during
the coming season in order to in
sure having the machines in time
for farm operations.
Numerous instances have already
occurred where local dealers did
not have stock of repair parts on
hand which were needed to meet
requirements of farmers in the
ne1ghborhood and excessive delays
were encountered in getting these
parts from the factory

SAVE YOUR HAIR
AND BEAUT|FY IT
With ''DANDER|NE"
Spend a feyseats!! Dan n!
stops coming out.
Try this! Hair gets beautiful
wavy and thick in
few moments.

If YOU care for heavy hair, that
glistens with beauty and is radiant
with life; has an Incompatible
softness and is fluffy and lustrous,
try Danderine.
Just one application doubles the
beauty of your hair, besides it i'm
mediately dissolves every particle of
dandruff; you cannot have nice,
heavy, healthy hair if you have dan
druff. This destructive scurf robs
the hair of its lustre, its strength
and its very life, and if not over
come it produces a feverishness and
itching Of the scalp; the hair roots
famish, loosen and die; then the
hair falls out fast.
If you hair has been neglected
and is thin, faded, dry, scraggy or
too oily, get small bottle of
Knowlton's Danderine at any drug
store or toilet counter for few
cents; apply a little as directed,
and ten minutes after you will say
this was the best investment you
ever made.
We sincerely believe, regardless
of everything else advertised, that
if you desire soft, lustrous, beauti-
full hair and lots of it-no dandruff
no itching scalp and no more fall
ing hair-you must use Knowlton S
Danderine. If eventually-why not
,now?-Adv.
