mination of the chinch bug to the
farmers Monday night in the court
house. Professor Burrill was here

growths of vegetation, the bug
could be eliminated. He explained
that by burning the heavy vegetation
around the fierce corners, along the
roadside, and the turfts of grass, it
is rot necessary to burn the whole
field, especially if the vegetation is
scant on the greater part of it.
Professor Burrill demonstrated
that this can be done in a cooper
ative way. by the community taking
in as many farms as possible to get
the men to assist in the burning.

Harry Hardy Sustains Fire Loss

Mr. and Mrs. Harry Hardy, prom
inent farmers residing couple of
miles west of Ross, sustained quite
loss by fire last Monday morning.
During Sunday night and Monday
morning a severe electrical storm
passed over this part of the state.
Towards the early morning, the Hardy
family discovered that there was fire
in their granary and auto shed. How
ever the fire was discovered so late
that it was impossible to save any
thing, and their Ford auto, several sets
of harness and about 200 chickens
were all destroyed by the fire. 1t is
thought that a bolt of lightning must
have struck the buildings and started
the fire.

After a heavy dinner serve fruit

wheat last week which averaged from
ten bushels to the acre on one field
to twenty bushels on another. The
wheat while yielding fair, is not con-
sidered extra good for seed, as it is
somewhat shriveled, due no doubt to
the hot weather.

Cocoanut Oil Makes
 A Splendid Shampoo

If you want to keep your hair in good condition, be careful what you wash it with.
 Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much all1ali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. MuIsifed cocoanut oil shampoo (which is pure and en- tirely greaseless), is much better than anything else you can use for sham pooing, as this can't possibly injure the hair.
 Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in One or two teaspoon fuls will make an abundance of rich creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The lathe1 rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex- cessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine an6 silky, bright fluffy and easy to man. age.
 You can get Mulsified cocoanut oi shampoo at most any drug store. Ii is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family for months.

lCUNTY TOWNS MUST REACH
 QUOTA FOR FARM BUREAU

North Stonington and Salem are the only towns that have so far filled their quotas in the New London county farm bureau membership campaign which has been in progress over a month.
 Bad roads, weather and other condi- tions have contributed to the slack re- sponse in the membership campaign so far, but it is believed the towns will swing into line and raise the S659 need ed to reach the quota between now and June 30.
 The amount which has been raised during the present fiscal year of the farm bureau is $351. It is necessary that each farm bureau in this state raise at | least $1000 per year from memberships and contributions if they are to receive state and county funds amounting to i $4o90 at the least. This leaves $659 which must be raised between now and l June 30, if the New London County ! Farm Bureau is to receive this aid from i the state and county.
 1 At a recent meeting of the directors of 1 the New London county farm bureau it l was voted that all memberships taken | lEtween now and June 30 as well as all paid in since January first of this year. should be continued until June 80 1921. 1 This will give a little more than a one years membership to the farm bureau i tor the payment of the yearly member ship of one dollar. In deciding upon this move the executive committee estab- lished definite policy, thereby bringing the membership campaign this year and ia years to come just before the begin ming of the farm bureau year which is July first. Formerly the farm bureau year began October first the same as the fiscal year for the state and college These were changed recently to Juy first, hence the corresponding change 1T the farm bureau year to the same date

 quotas. Farm bureau members can as

To Relieve Catarrh, Catarrhal Deafness
 And Head Noises

Persons suffering from catarrhal
 deafness, or who are growing hard of
 hearing, and have head noises, will be
 glad to know that this distressing af-
 niction can usually be successfully
 treated at home by an internal medi-
 cine that in many instances mas effected
 complete relief after other treatments
 have failed. Sufferers who could
 scarcely hear have had their hearing restored to such an extent that the tick
 of a watch was plainly audible seven or eight inches away from either ear
 Therefore, if you know of someone who is troubled with head noises or catarrh- aI deafness. cut out this formula and hand it to them and you may have been the means of saving some poor sufferer perhaps from total deafness.
