YOUTH!

the Best Part of a Woman's Life
Why Should it Vanish So Quickly?
Don't let your youth go! And above
all. don't lose your youthful appear
ance through old-fashioned prejudice
Women who a few years ago scorned
the use of face powders or cosmetics,
now depend on them to keep a youth
full appearance. And this is equally
true of the hair color restorer. Con-
stantly, more and more women are
using Q-ban Hair Color Restorer to
keep their hair dark and glossy and
free from gray.
Q-ban is not a dye. This you can
prove by trying it on your combings
Dyes stain them instantly but Q-ban
has no immediate effect. Q-ban is
simply a delightful toilet requisite for
restoring the natural color of the hair.
Q-ban does not stain the scalp, wash

Gloomy conditions reported early IN
the spring have been greatly overcome
by favorable weather and rains of the
last few weeks.
Thousands of bushels of fruit were
lost to Kansas during the early spring,
Whitney states, because of the killing
frosts and continued cold weather in
many counties. In some localities the
present prospects are $50 per cent
above last year. Only a few of the
large commercial orchards suffered
heavy early spring losses.
Pear Crop Is Light
Pears suffered the heavy jolt as a
result of the spring cold snaps. In
fact Whitney says the pears are harder
hit than any other fruit. There will
be rather small crop of peaches. and
the production is limited almost en-
tirely to the southern counties.
Whitney predicts rs per cent crop
suffered in the early spring, the hor-
ticultural society secretary says that
three-fourths of a full crop will be
harvested this year. 1t is probable
that the grape crop will be nearly
100 per cent perfect
Berry Pickers Needed.
Berry pickers are needed in many
counties where the commercial straw
berry crop is large. Many producers
are handicapped this year because of
the labor situation, Whitney states.
The big berry farms of Atchison, DON
iphan, jackson and Leavenworth
counties will produce about one-half
of a full crop. The quality of the berry
this year is reported as 10 per cent
better than year ago.

lead their men in the campaign to en-
list 6,444 men for the harvest, will
meet Saturday noon in the Chamber
of Commerce rooms, where they will
be addressed by A. D. Folker. county
agricultural agent. who is in charge of
the drive in this county. The officers
will receive their final instructions as
to how to proceed in obtaining Tope-
kas quota of the harvest army.
The men who are most desired for
harvest soldiers are men walters,
cooks, clerks, elevator boys, chauf-
feurs, road gangs, lumber and coal
yard employees and any other classes
of labor that can be conveniently dis
pensed with for a few days. 1t is said
by the captains that many of the large
and important business houses of the
city, however, have offered to give lib
orally of their employees to the cause
and some have offered to release them
on full pay while the harvest lasts.

freckles is usually so successful in re-
moving freckles and giving clear,
beautiful complexion that it is sold
by any druggist under guarantee to
refund the money if it fails.
Don't hide your freckles under a
veil; get an ounce of Othine and re-
move them. Even the first few appli-

proyement, some of the lighter freck-
les vanishing entirely.
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength Othine; it is this that

Calls Upon Youths To Help With

Calls Upon Youths To Help With
Crops.
| PLANT your crops and we will see
that the labor to harvest them is sup.
Piled"
The Maryland Council of Defense ia
sending that message to every farmer
in the State of Maryland. The United
States Government is behind the
Maryland Council of Defense.
| Steps have been taken to make good
on that promise.
One of these is the mobilization of
all the boys between 16 and 81 years
| to go on the farms this summer. John
| Redwood received his commission
from the Federal Government as Di-
rector of the Boys Working Reserve
and will begin at once the enrolment
of all boys Of that age in the State,
| asking the cooperation of the City
College, the Polytechnic Institute, the
Johns Hopkins University, the School
Board of Baltimore and all school au-
thorities throughout the State.
The boys will be modified in camps
in the farming localities where they
are needed, under a discipline which
will be modelled on the discipline Of
the United States Army. The Young
Mems Christian Association has a
camp in Anne Arundel county where
boys will be trained to serve as Off
GERS for these camps.
Every boy who enrolls for this
service will be fighting a German
boy" Herbert Hoover, National Food
Administrator, wired the Maryland
Council of Defense. Every boy who
enrolls for this service will be making
himself member of Uncle Sans
team" Theodore Roosevelt wired.
The movement has been started in
other states and 1900 boys have en-
rolled in Indiana.
Never, says the Maryland Council of
Defense, has such an opportunity to
do effective work for his country been
offered to the boy between is and 81.
The war has made it necessary that
all the Drawn of the country be mo-
bilized. 1t is the boys job to help
make bumper crop.
1t is estimated that 5000 men and
boys will be required to harvest the
Maryland crops. 1t doesn't require so
large number to sow the crops, but
farmers hesitate to SOW them if they
cannot get guarantees that they will
be able to get the labor to harvest
them
While this enrolment is going on,
W. NJ. Hil!egeist and William Lee
Amos, of the Federal Department of
Labor, began to visit various sections
of rural Maryland, Mr.. Hillegeist on
the Western Shore and Mr. Amos on
the Eastern Shore. They will hold
meetings in various communities and
will organize committees which will
be permanent and the business of
which will be to watch the needs o.
the farmers in their localities and to
see that those needs are supplied.
Enrolment of farm work will not be
limited to boys. The Federal agency
is constantly enrolling men for this
work. They sent so men from Balt-
more to work on farms last week.
They say that they have no difficulty
in getting farm laborers where the
farmer is willing to pay SIS to $40
month, but that they have consider
able difficulty when the price he is
willing to pay is below that

fight on the budget will develop that

Another important matter that is to
be settled in the closing days of the
session is the bill providing a $3,00O.-
900 road loan. This does not include
the maintenance and repair fund and
undoubtedly will be opposed by those
legislators who believe that, in view
of the excessive cost of labor and ma

such a large sum for roadbuilding.
