FARMERS GIVE ADVICE.

The advisory committee of farmers and live
stock producers, representing all the agriculture
al sections, recently appointed by Secretary of
VA ericulture Houston and Food Administrators
Hoover to advise with these departments, have
been In consultation, and after much discussion
and deliberation have outlined number of ex-
cellent suggestions for the department of agri-
culture and food administration to consider.
In view of the fact that the foreign supply of
vegetable seeds Is practically cut off by reason
of war conditions the committee advises that
all growers of vegetables be urged to save seed
For themselves far as practicable and to con-
serve such supplies of seed as may come into
their possession. Steps should be taken imme-
disately to conserve supplies of buckwheat seed
that are now IN danger of being consumed as
food, and the increased planting of this crop is
urged. It is also recommended that the bureau
of markets be more lenient IN fixing the grades
of wheat for the period of the war and consider
carefully the proposed changes advocated by
wheat growers.
The policy of the government in discourage
ing shipments of material for the construction
of state, county and municipal improvements
was endorsed. 1t was urged that men of the
towns and cities who are capable of perform
ing farm labor just their activities in such a
way as to meet the demands of the farmers at
the period OF greatest strain the farm and
ia skilled farm laborer was defined as a man
who knows by training and experience the or
binary methods and practices employed in
growing and harvesting the crops produced in
the community in which he lives
Constructive rather than destructive p,ac
ices were advocated In dealing with the beef
packers, and while it was agreed that govern
z>ent supervision and control should be col.

Dandruff Soon
Ruins The Hair

Grls-if you want plenty of thick.
beautiful glossy, silly hair. do by all
means get rid of dandruf, for it will
starve your hair and ruin it If you don't.
It doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash It out The only sure
way. to get rid of dandruf is to dissolve
It, then you destroy it entirely. To do
this, get about four ounces Of Ordinary
liquid arvon; apply it at night when re-
firing; use enough to moisten the scalp
and rub It IN gently with the finger tips.
By morning, most if not al, Of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or four
more applications win completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace of It.
You will find, too, that al 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. It is Inexpensive and four
ounces is al You will need, no matter
how much dandruf you have, This
simple remedy never fails.

BAKERS MARROW VISION.

Secretary Baker makes one statement winch
oonvicts him of Lack of vision OF the scope and
possibilities of this war. He says that 1t Is
useless to train men in military service IN ex-
cess of facilities to send them to France II
this were not quoted in all dispatches and
were not accepted by congressman and appar-
entity by the secretary himself his real state
ment, it would be incredible that man of pub
lie duty in this war, fresh from the battlefront,
should so fail to realize more of what the whole
thing portends to this nation. 1t is plain to
thinking men that we are at war with Ger
many until we get the safeguards which beat
ing her will give us. At present we fight Ger.
many in France and Belgium Where we shall
have to fight her in the future none of MS
knows, not ever Mr.. Baker. The army we
shall need depends upon how long we must
fight, ON how many fronts we must fight, on
how much help we continue to have In the
fighting The army we need is matter not
determined by the number of soldiers we can
transport to France in any certain time. What.
ever this number may be now, it will be great
er as we get on with our shipbuildmg. 1t does
not add confidence to his army plans to know
that he is forecastng shipping possibilities to
make a basis for recommendations as to In
crease in the army. And if he views the war
as simply the battle now in France, his vi
sion is narrow, he fails to comprehend the de-
cared purpose of the president and the will of
the nation He must see further if he be fit for
his job.

tinued and extended in businesslike manner
and that any unreasonable profit should be
eliminated, it was the opinion of the farmers
committee that neither government operation
nor government ownership is practical and adj
visable at this time.
1t was advised that campaign be conducted
which will teach the public a more correct APP
probation of the relative values of dairy prod
ucts, and that efforts be made to secure tie
adoption of such dairy products as cheese In
the army and navy rations.
The movement for the planting OF war gar.
dens was endorsed, but it was pointed out that
the employment of laborers full time In till
ing small gardens without machinery Is UNI
economical and wasteful, because such labor
would be five times as productive If left to be
employed by farmers who have a full equipment.
of machinery.
AS an encouragement to industry the federal
departments were asked to take steps with a
view to securing for the farmers the same
rights and privileges in collective bargaining
as are accorded TO other industries.
The advisory committee representing the
agricultural interest has displayed commend
able spirit of wisdom in its recommendations,
and it is to be hoped that the Washington au-
thorities will make extensive use of its advice
and suggestions in dealing with farm market
and labor problems.

The wife, when scarcely more than a

into marriage with the brutal old man
of sixty-five. His insane jealousy
makes her life torment He grows
suspicious of the younger man and
becomes convinced THAT the pair are
lovers. The husband subjects the

gone to the man she loves and goes in

OUR RED MEN IN TIE WAR.

Six Thousand Indians of our country have re-
sponded to the call to arms. Fourteen tribes
| in Oklahoma have sent their bravest, many of
whom are rich and college graduates, as intense
ily eager as any white soldier for bayonet prac-
II ice on the Huns. The son of the old chief Ba-
conrind of the Usage nation, and Herbert
Whiteshield, the noted baseball player, are in
the environments trained down to lighting
weight and hard as nails; and Jesse Fixon, son
of Cherokee chief, swears that he will bayonet
the kaiser or at least some junker of import
ance who has outived his usefulness to the
world. All of our Indian soldiers submit to dis
cipline and sanitary and other regulations as
cheerfu]y as other of our troops. Our red men
are warriors by ancesty and instinct, and we
may vet have some authentic moving picture
films that show how Indians really fight, to
take the place of pictured raids by imitation In
dams of which the country has long been so
tired. Certainly we may be sure that none Of
our red warriors will show a yellow streak.

history of the human race proves point alb
