ADVISES TILLERS
OF GRASS VALUE
Go Over Field With 50-Tooth
Spike Harrow After
Sowing, Advice

Few farmers realize what an i'm
portant part grass fills in the gen
eral rotation of crop production, says
a State Department of Agriculture
bulletin. The general custom is to
sow timothy seed in the fall with
the wheat which under favorable
conditions will winter very we'll.
Securing a stand of timothy is not
very difficult, but the clovers, which
are more deeply rooted are more
difficult to carry through the winter
weather.
Much of the clover seed is sown
in the spring when the soil is honey
combed by freezing, which gives the
seed some chance of being covered
by the spring rains; but on the clay
soils, which become more compact,
it is more difficult to get a good
batch of clover. Much of the seed
lies exposed on the top of the ground
and much is picked up by birds and
most of it is lost by the time it ger
inmates, especially after the weather
is rather dry and high warm winds
prevail.
"A good practice after the seed
is sown," says J. Aldus Herr, farm
adviser of the Department of Agri-
culture, 'is to go over the field with
a fifty-tooth spike harrow which
will break the crust and cover some
of the seed which will not leave

Careless Use of Soap
Spoils the Hair

Soap should be used very care
fully, if you want to keep your hair
looking it's best. Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too much
alkali. This dries the scalp, makes
the hair brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary mulsifed cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and greaseless), and
is better than the most expensive
soap or anything else you use.
One or two teaspoonfulS will
cleanse the hair and scalp thorough
ly. Simply moisten the hair with wa
ter and rub it in. Itmakes an abun-
dance of rich, creamy lather, which
rinses out easily, removing every par
ticle of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex-
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and it leaves the scalp
soft, and the hair fine and silky,
bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy it's very cheap, and
few ounces will supply every mem
Der of the family for months-Adv.

A Dead Stomach
OF What Use Is 1t?

Thousands? yes hundreds of thou
sands of people throughout America
are taking the slow death treatment
daily.
They are numbering their own
stomach, the best friend they have
and in their sublime ignorance they
think they are putting aside the laws
of nature.
This is no sensational statement. II
is a startling fact, the truth of which
any honorable physician will not DENY.
These thousands of people are swal
lowing daily huge quantities Of pepsIn
and other strong digesters. made es-
pecially to digest the food in the
stomach without any aid al all from
the digestive membrane of the stom-
ach.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets relieve dis
tressed stomach in five minutes; they
do more. Taken regularly for a few
weeks they build up the run down
stomach and make it strong enough
to digest it's own food. Then indiges
ton, belching, sour stomach and head
ache will go.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets are sold bv
druggists everywhere and by II. G.
Kennedy, who guarantees them.-Ad-

MOVIES HAVE A
BAD INFLUENCE
Chief Grove Says Pictures
Cause Boys to Commit
Robbcries in Borough

Following the report of the Har-
risburg Ministerial Association con
-demng moving pictures, Chief OF
Police Grove this morning declared
that, boys committing robberies in
the borough were influenced in such
actions by seeing too many movies
of the wrong kind.
Tho robbery of Claude Brinser's
Hardware store on Tuesday was
known by police to have been COM
mitted by boys. Several boys were
under vigilance but arrests were not
necessary as parents of the boys
came to their aid.
ON Wednesday night Mr.. Brinser
was reused out of his sleep by par
cnts of the boys and all the stolen
property turned over to him. Mr..
I3rinser at the request of the par
cnts who are well-known residents
of Enhaut will not prosecute the
boys. he said The boys whose
names have been withheld are fifteen
and seventeen years old. and are not
of mischievous dispositions.
The police department several
weeks ago broke up a gang of boy
outlaws who were entering and rob-
bing stores in tho borough. The
gang was composed of eight mem
bers. two of which have been sent
to reformatories. Six of the boys
have been released on probation and
are back in the borough.
Chief of Police Grove is sure that
seeing too many movies and reading
novels has caused the hoys to COM
NIT the robberies. In a statement
this morning he advised parents to
pay closer attention to the inclina-
tions of their children on seeing GER
tain kinds of movies and prohibit
them from seeing pictures in which
the plots are too deep for an un-
developed mind to understand.
