AS part Of the nationwide cam
pain in the interest Of maximum
food production and utilization, gov
eminent and private agencies have
inaugurated q movement to make
the present summer the greatest
silo-bulding period in the history Of
the country. Scarcely farm expert
ment station in the land is not ac-
lively cooperating in this work.
Thousands of farmers have long
recognized the advantage Of being
able, with siloa, to keep cattle in the
best condition throughout the win
ter months by feeding them green
feed. Other thousands who have not
fully appreciated the silo heretofore
are expected to be reached as result
of the educational efforts now being
put forth.
The Best Kind of Silo.

Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Flair

When you wash your hair, bec1eful
what you use. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkaE, which
is very injurious, as it dries the scalp
and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Just plain nui-
sihed cocoanut oil, for this is pure and
entirely greaseiess. It's very cheap, and
beats the most expensive soaps or any
thing else all to pieces. You can get
this at any drug store, and a few ounces
will last the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about teaspoonful is all
that is required. 1t makes an abundance
of rich, creamy 1ather, cleanses thor
oughly, and rinscs out easily. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and is soft
fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and
easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and
takes out every particle of dust, dirt and
dandruff.

Red Cross Women of Town
SholD Keokuk Commercial
Members What Real Food
is, TUESDAY Night

If there's logic in the statement that
the way to a mans heart is through
his stomach then forty or more Vim
cennes women of the Red Cross
Home Circle in that hamlet have
blazed trail through those anatomi-
cal regions that is wonder of per-
fectness.
Even "Herbie" Hoover would have
given his stamp of approval on an I'M
warlike dinner the Home Circle
served sixty members of the Com
mercial club and some of the wives
of members in Union church at Vim
cennes, Tuesday night.
The meal was sensation. In fact
it was so sensational that when it was
over it was found that some of the
dignified commercial men of Keokuk
had overestimated their gastronomic
abilities and were barely able to
leave the table.
Too Full for Utterance.
The dinner was to have been fol-
lowed by an address of some kind
. and maybe brief mention or two
about business topics. But there was
mary a squeak after the service Of

Business was entirely forgotten.
OF course the menu wasn't served
in that order, but in real style. and
wonder of wonders, after plates had
been heaped mountain high with the
steaming foods, the Red Cross work
ers came back and asked their guests
If they wouldn't have some more of

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
PICARDY, May 20-(By MaiD An
English dog leaped from a British
officers automobile to chase a
French cat. The cat headed across
the street and nearly gave up one
of its lives beneath an American Of
ficer's automobile. An Italian soidler
chesred the cat as it sped for wall.
A black African colonel NEARBY

A Belgian took after the dog to re-
store him to his officer master, but
as the cat disappeared over the wall
an Australian finally collared the
dog. =

dent as a dog-and-cat fight was IN a

SAVE 5000, 1000 BUSHELS
OF WHEAT THAT FORMERLY
WAS LOST IN THRESHiNG
Farmers, Urged by Food Administra-
ton, Provide Seven Extra Loaves
Of Bread for Every American,

BY adopting cleaner threshing meth
DDS and by literally combing harvest
fields to gather grain formerly vast
ed, threshermen and farmers of the
United States this year saved fully
100000 bushels Of wheat, estimated
as equivalent to about seven one-pound
loaves of bread for every person in
the country. This result, accompanied
by corresponding savings of barley.
oats, rye and other grains, is shown by
reports from 80 grain states to the q.
S. Food Administration. Other states.
although not prepared to furnish def
mite figures of conservation in the
grain fields, report greatly reduced
harvest losses.
This rural food saving achievement
accomplished in scarcely six months
time, was in direct response to re-
quests by the Food Administration.
which asked farmers and threshermen
to reduce harvest losses from about
3A per cent.-the estimated average
in normal times-to the lowest possi-
BILE minimum. Country grain thresh-
ing committees carried into every
grain growing community the official
recommendations for accomplishing
the results desired.
In numerous instances drivers OF
racks with leaky bottoms were sent
from the fields to repair their equip.
ment and frequently bad order thresh.
ing machines were stopped until tho
cause Of waste was removed. But In
proportion to the number Of persons
engaged in gathering the nations grain
crop, cases of compulsion were COM
paratively rare. The Food Admins
tration freely attributes the success of
the grain threshing campaign to pa
triOtic service by farmers, thresher-
men and their crews. incidentally
grain growers of the United States are
many millions of dollars "in pocket"
as result of the grain saved.
