In Pocahontas County, tests showed
that potatoes and tomatoes, which
were not sprayed blighted, while the

A AO0-BUSHEL TAYLOR
COUh " POTATO CROP

E. T. ColebanE, Of Taylor County,
raised z04 bushes of potatoes on an
acre last year at a cost Of OBS. In
his opinion, this splendid yield was
due to intensive cultivation. Each
week he used drag harrow on his
potatoes until the plants we're from
to inches HI il, then used only
shallow cultivation so that root sys-
TENS might not be destroyed.

LOST TREES BECAUSE HE
FAILED TO REMOVE WORMS

R. L. Dawson, Great Cacapon, Nor

price Of labor kept him from having
the work done ae figures, however,
that he could haa afforded to pay
500 a day for ia1or in order to save
his trees.

Mid.Winter


When the somber fir Is bending
Meath q burden pure and white;
When the silver moon Is flooding
All the silent world with light;
Then Is when the heart grows lonely
In the chill mid-wmter night.
Then is when the heart is longing
For the days Of long ago.
When a dear unbroken circle
Gathered in the freight glow,
Watched the flames that gaily dancing,
Cast their shadows to and fro.
Then Is when the heart is longing
For the sounds that charm away.
All the WEAKNESS Of spirit,
All the fretting cares of day;
Busy click of knitting-needles,
Cracking rockers rhythmic sway.
Then is when the heart grows lonely.
When the fancy roams at will
In the land Of Precious Memories,
When the world is white and still,
Save when King Frost blows his bugle
Echoing from the Icy hill.
When the sentinel pines are reaching
Upward toward the jewelled night,
When the northern-lights are flashing
Like a swift bird in Its flight:
Then Is when the heart grows lonely
In the chill mid-winter night.

The Easiest Way
To End Dandruff

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This des-
troys it entirely. To do this, just get
about four ounces of plain, ordinary
liquid arvon: apply it at night when
retiring: use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips.
BY morning, most if not all, Of your
dandruff will be gone. and three or
four more applications will complete
ly dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it, no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You will find. too. that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop in
stantly, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times bet
ter.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. It is inexpensive, and
four ounces is all you will need. This
simple remedy has never been known
to fail.-Adv.

also In the number Of nervous stu
dents who require treatment. One
faculty member says ouija boards are
more plentiful than Bibles and more
frequently consulted.
The faculty seem slightly peevish
about ouija boards. but perhaps 1t -
only jealousy. that the students spend
their time on occult research instead
Of Latin and solid geometry. Per-
haps the faculty wouldn't act that
way If they only had some oui5a
boards of their own. Probably they
can't afford to buy them, and that is
where all the trouble started.
Those who pretend to know the
disposition Of ouija boards and un-
derstand how to tame them. say cave
man methods are the best. Just take
your board firmly by either dimen-
sion and address 1t in a peremptory
manner calculated to make its hair
stand on end. It is likely to retaliate
in kind. with compound interest add
ed. It may tell awful tales Of burg
lars that you have missed at your
front door when you were quietly
asleep: Of friends who are now be-
yond this vale Of tears and laughing
in their sleeves at you: or Of departed
relatives who are just laying for a
chance to come back at you when
they get released" whatever that
means.
If you ask your ouija whether you
are going to make money in your
newest deal it will very likely shout
"Liar!!" at you. You must decide
for yourself whether this means that
you actually haven't any new deal in
process Of consummation or whether
you must become an astute liar to
put 1t over II you have.
Yes, a ouija board is SO helpful!
We advise all suffering humanity to
get one apiece at once.

Delphic oracle. 1t isn't safe these
days. We mean nights, to go to bed
without consulting the ouija to find

pipes will freeze. In which case you
