tally. If the property in hand does
not equal what your early hopes
promised, look for the robber. You
will not need to carry on an ex-
tensive investigation, no blood
hound will be necessary. Turn your
searchlight back on the past years.

AND A BEREA MAN DID IT

II happened at one OF our South

Of those last days when the FINAL test
for commissions were being given.
Three thousand men had taken In
those few months. just closing,
most Of the strenuous work ordinar-
lily extended over West Point
course. Every would-bc officer had
proven himself 10 be man OF grit
and endurance. Every one Of them
hoped 20 be qualified. but less than
half Of them were 10 be commits
stoned.
The particular man with whom
this is concerned was one Of sever
al men who were competing for the
one remaining commission allotted
To- their company. Preparations
were made for the finals. Lessons
Of from twenty 10 sixty pages each,
were assigned for several nights.
From dawn till dusk they drilled.
With heads wrapped in wet towels
they studied far into the night.
Then at last they were brought
before the examiners. Each man
came separately and found. upon
entering the room, the captain seat
cd and the major standing nearby.
The latter asked the questions. Al
the conclusion Of each drill the ap-
plicant was told 10 be seated. where
upon each man from the first TO the
tenth, sat down In the chair at the
captains right, the only chair in the
room.
The eleventh man was called. He
was questioned in the same manner
as had been those who had proceed
ed him. The score stood practical
~ the same.

And this man. who in his study

that u was one Of these little things
that won the day for him. Some

When the last order was given
he quickly removed the chair 10 the
left Of his superior and sat down.
He received the commission. In
the big points the eleven men had
tied. The insignia OF Lieutenant was
awarded TO the man who believed
that nothing was trivial. that the
mastery Of the smallest detail was
important.

SYSTEMATIC STUDY OF PLANT
DISEASES


A systematic study Of plant di-
seases which attack the various
crops and vegetables has never been
made for the State OF Kentucky.
Losses 10 crops due 10 parasitic
plant diseases amount 10 hundreds
Of thousands Of dollars each year in
the State. This loss ought TO be re-
duced 10 the minimum.
The Department of Botany. Of the
University Of Kentucky, plans in
cooperation with the Bureau of
Plant Industry Of the United States
Department Of Agriculture. TO max
very thorough survey this year
in the State. IL is further planned
TO keep up this survey from one
year TO the next, and those who
contribute this year should plan to
contribute the next This survey
will attempt to find out what dis
eases are in the State, TO learn the
amount of damage done 10 each crop
end in return for the advice from
the correspondents will give advice
as to the various methods Of con-
troll.
IL is absolutely necessary that
every citizen in Kentucky take a
part in this survey. We desire TO
reach every town in the State and
through its local paper bring TO tho
attention of its readers the objects
Of this survey and the importance
attached to it. We therefore desire
a wide correspondence from the
tillers of the soil regarding the dis
eases of their community. Leave
nothing unreported, no matter how
slightthe amount, as il is important
TO us.
What we need most are speci-
mems. since these are authentic.
We cannot always tell whether or
not certain disease occurs in
certain region because the sams
disease may be known to us by one
name and TO you by another. To
be sure, it is always best to send in
specimens. In this way we can be
sure about the disease in question.
Please remember when collecting
that nothing is too insignificant TO
be of value in this survey. Send in
everything. Therefore, we are ask
ing of you. dear Reader, TO consider
yourself a part of this great survey
and without your cooperation we
are being handicapped. Always re-
port an epidemic TO the head of the
Kentucky Plant Disease Survey as
soon as discovered.
The department stands ready at
all times to cooperate in ccntroli-
ing disease outbreaks and would
consider it a favor TO have you call
upon us for help. We also stand
ready to identify unknown weeds
as well as diseases. We ask that
you see the editor of your local pa
per for frank tags for sending us
specimens and anything you do for
us will be greatly appreciated.

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries the

very harmful. Just plain mulsified CO.
coanut, oil (Which is pure and entirely
greaseless). Is much better than the
most expensive soap or ANYTHING else
you can use for shampooing. as this
can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub 1t m. One or two teaspoonfulo
will make an abundance Of rich. creamy
