women of the state have already of
fered themselves as members.
1t has been shown that young wom-
en- of this age are fully capable of
sharing responsibilities of the older
women connected with this impor

pointed out that whatever interests
the young women of any community,
the young men will also adopt.
IT the chapters ali over the state
busy themselves in securing enlarg-
ed memberships, it is entirely posi-
bic that Georgia, through the Ameri-

A Shampoo That VIII
Not Whiten The Hair

The serious objections to cheap
shampoos are that they contain i'm.
purities and alkalis. They burn and
deaden the hair, deprive it of life
and color, make the scalp and hair
dry and eventually white. Only
natural blends of the purest and most
highly refined Cocoanut and Palm
oils as blended in Shuco Shampoo
should be used. Shuco Shampoo is
a perfect saponification suspended in
a solution that easily changes into a
bushel of rich, creamy, bubbling and
sparkling lather.
Apply to the moistened hair and
rub well adding water and shampoo
as needed. 1t vanishes all dirt, dust
and dandruff, rinses out quickly and
perfectly, leaving the hair soft as
velvet, light and fluffy. Your mirror
will tell you why Shuco Shampoo
makes hair with a thousand lights.

At this season of the year his truck
is making two trips daily between
Baltimore and Marley Creek hauling
manure to the farm.
Later in the season it viii make two
trips daily hauling produce to town.
Mr.. Grieves feels that his truck
has not yet reached its capacity Of
economic production. He feels that a
business could be developed which
would enable him to make money on
the return trip, irrespective of the
season of the year. In other words.
he could if he were so disposed, de-
velop a community hauling proposit-
ion which would be not only money
maker for himself, but money
saver for his neighbors.
While Mr.. Grieves' business and
geographical situation places him in
a particularly good situation in which
to use truck, he feels that the far
mers of the State could greatly re-
duce their hauling costs as a whole
and speed up production through the
more general use of the motor truck.

enable him to get his produce to mar

and save himself that most valuable
farm essential-time. Accordingly, be
purchased a two-ton Packard truck
He has kept accurate account Of the
cost Of operation and has found the
operation Of the truck much more
economical than the upkeep of the
horses formerly employed. His actual
cost of upkeep exclusive Of gasoline
and oil, has been with one thousand
dollars for the four years, an average
of two hundred and fifty dollars per
year, or a trifle more than twenty
dollars per month.
Mr. Grieves, as I said before, is en-
gagged in the commission business.
The truck enables him to devote more
time to his city business, with the
result that he is making more money
at both ends of the line.
