The Lowly Corncob and Its $40 Furfural

ID ROBABLY you think of q corncob
as a handy thing 10 eat green
corn from and the thing from which
the good old Missouri meerschaum"
Is made. Stop. look, read! Henceforth
you must. know the lonely corncob as
the source of furfural and half
dozen other things, but especially fur
fural. The chemists of the agricultural
department have discovered that the
corncob is a regular catch-all Of good
things.
Up u this time furfural has been so
rare that il has sold as high as 500
a pound. Every ton of corn cobs will
yield about thirty pounds of furfural
as q by-product. and the chemists esti-
mate that il can be manufactured in
this way for less than 20 cents
pound. What IL will sell for is another
story.
Furfural is what the chemists call
basic intermediary in dyes. That
means that YOU may make about as
many kinds OF dye out OF furfural as
a good cook can make good things TO
eat out OF flour. They have shown
NJ least a dozen different shades of
cloth dyed with furfural. II is
highly useful, too, in the manu-
facture OF paints and lacquers and
IN the making Of bakelite, the sub
stance used in pipe stems and other
articles. In addition TO all that. fur

Accomplishing Much Good.

Even as boys and girls you are ac-
complishing more good than can be
measured. The good that you will be
able to do will increase as you grow
older and, when you become full grown
men and women, you can supply for
the agricultural forces of this nation
Il leadership such as the world has
never known before.
i congratulate the boys and girls
club members. And / would like TO
ask favor Of the boys and girls who
are not members of the clubs. We are
trying-the United States department
of agriculture, the state agricultural
colleges, and great many other peo-
ple-to make the farms OF this coun-
try more profitable and home life on
the farm more pleasant. / wish the
rest of you boys and girls would join
with those who are already members
of the clubs and help us in accomplish
ing this great service for our common
country. 1t is a patriotic thing 10 do !;
and Il is service that cannot be
rendered by anybody except you boys
and girls.
: Biggest Year in History.
The year 1920 should be the biggest
year In the history Of boys and girls
club work, and l am confident that il
will be. The country is facing a diff
cult situation, because so many men
have left the farms TO work i'm the
city. The good work that the club
boys and girls can do will help 10 over
come that handicap, and the club boys
and girls will do that kind Of work
this year. It may hearten you to
know that many Of us here in the de-
partment of agriculture look upon the
boys and girls clubs much as Caesar
must have looked upon the Tenth Lee
gion or Napoleon upon the Old Guard.
The other forces may fail, but we
know that we can rely on you.
/ might not be willing TO see you un-
dertake such serious service If / did
not know that, while you work hard,
you play joyously together. / am sure
that the boys and girls in the clubs
have better times than the boys and
girls who are not in the clubs, and that
is an additional compensation TO you
for the hard work you do in the club
work.

Hair Drawn Back Loosely From Fore
head and Waved In Large Knot;
Combs Used.

Fan-shaped cOiffures are the fash.
ion in Paris for evenings.
This method of hairdressing is par
ticularly Suitable for the tall, slim fig
ure. The hair is drawn back loosely
from the forehead and waved in a
large knot just above the nape of the
neck.
From the knot there stands up a
wide, high fan-like wave of hair, sup
ported hyrinvisible combs, which often
reach four to six inches in height
The general effect is striking. Hair
Is now usually worn in its natural col
or, and the use of henna and other
cOloring matters is vanishing.
An effective headdress is formed by
a narrow band of brilliants just above
the brow, which holds on the left-hand
side a beautiful spray of black ospreys
dropping over the face.
