PLAN TO GET
COUNTY "DRYS"
TO THE POLLS
lists Being Prepared to Insure
Big Vote at the
Primaries

AS March 20 is the last day for
getting on the voters lists, in town
khips, towns and boroughs outside
pr third class cities, the Anti-Saloon
League, under DR.. E. V. Claypool,
IS now concentrating all it's efforts
n the upper end of Dauphin County.
Personal appearance is not neces-
|sary when one does not live in a
bird class city. Notification to the
assessor is all that is needed to quail
! fy for the primaries and general
Election.
DR.. Claypool, in speaking of prep
hrations for sterling conflict with
he booze forces observed that
Pennsylvania would have been clean
I'D up twenty years ago if the inde-
pendent voter had been willing to
boil his hands in the .mire of dirty
politics" The political machine, he
|said seeks the man who can be
controlled and not the Independent
voter. If the latter would only make
bis full strength felt prohibition
would win handily.
DR.. Claypool laid special empha-
bis upon the fact that many voters
hre each year disfranchised and
Fobbed of any part in the selection
bf candidates, because they have
Failed to enroll in any political party
bnd hence could not express a choice
bs to the candidate.
Under such circumstances, DR..
Claypool added, it is perfectly easy
for political machines to nominate
their own stamp candidates for
whom the Independent voter is then
bsked to vote, if he votes at all.

Washing Won't Rid
Head OF DandruH

The only sure way to get rid of
|1andruff is to dissolve it, then you
Destroy it entirely. To do this, get
about four ounces of ordinary liquid
|lrvon; apply it at night when re-
firing; use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub it in gently with the
Finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning,
most if not all, of your dandruff
will be gone, and three or four more
will completely dissolve
|ind entirely destroy every single
|sign and trace of it. no matter how
much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
|lnd digging of the scalp will stop
bit once, and your hair will be fluffy,
ustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
|ook and feel a hundred times
better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
|lrug store. 1t is inexpensive and
hever fails to do the work.

HOW TOGROW
ASP RAGUS

This crop is one Of the most endur-
ing and satisfactory vegetables. It
can be grown on almost any we'll
drained soil, but will do best on a deep
sandy loan. There is little posi-
bility of having the ground too rich,
and liberal applications of partly rot
ted manure should be made before the
plants are set. The seeds of aspara-
gus may be sown during the spring
in the rows where the plants are to
remain, and the seedlings thinned to
stand IA inches apart in the rows.
1t is usually more satisfactory to
purchase two-year-old roots, as con-
siderable time is saved in this way. AS
the asparagus bed is a permanent fea-
ture Of the garden, it should be locat-
ed accordingly. Before setting the
plants the soil should be lossened very
deeply, either by sub-soil blowing or
by deep spading. It is a good plan to
remove the top-scoil to a depth of IA
or 16 inches. The plants may be set
in rows for horse cultivation or in beds.
If in rows they should be set IA in
ches apart, with the rows three and
one-half feet apart. If in beds, one
foot square each way is proper dis
lance to set the plants In setting the
plants the crowns should be covered
4 or 5 inches deep.
In the North the plants should re-
ceive a mulch of or 5inches of ma
nure in winter In the South the mulch
is not necessary, but the plants should
receive coat of manure or an appli-
cation of fertilizer, preferably in au-
tumn
No shoots should be removed dur
ing the first year the plants are set in
the permanent bed, and the period of
cutting should be short during the Sc
cond year.-U. S. Department of Ag-
riculture

How Can | Help Win the War" is
the subject of a prize composition
written by Thomas Browne of the
Eaton School, Cleveland Park. He is
the fourteen-year-old son of Repre-
sentative Edward E. Browne of Wis
consin. Too young to enlist, he has
written what he believes is the prop
er thing for boys of his age to do to
help America win the war.
"How can l help win the war?
This is a hard problem for boy who
is too young to enlist and who is in
the eighth grade, but l will try to tell
some of the ways I can help win the
war
81 can help by saving my pennies,
nickels, dimes, and quarters and buy
ing thrift stamps and then war saw
ings certificates, which will help our
country and it's gallant armies to win
the war.
II can also help by doing certain
jobs which my parents formerly did,
so they can spend their time on more
important things.
II can help by becoming a mem
Der of the Red Cross and giving mon
ey to the Red Cross. I can help by
saving food supplies, by not eating
candy and not taking more on my
plate than [ can eat. Saving a little
food week seems small, but if the
millions of children in the eighth
grade Of the United States would
save little food each day we would
save vast amount of food in a year.
81 can help by studying the reasons
why we went to war, so that if any
person says we should not have gone
| will be able to tell them the reason
why we went to war.
II can help by trying to keep we'll
so l will not be a drag on other peo-
pie. "-Waupaca County Post
