MOVIE ACTRESSES AND
THEIR HAIR

Did it ever occur to you that every
movie actress you have seen has love-
ly hair, while the most popular count
their curls as their chief beauty? In
fact many are leading ladies just be-
cause Of their attractive looks. In
quiry among them discloses the fact
that they bring out all the natural
beauty of their hair by careful sham
pooling. not with any soap or make
shift, but with a simple mixture by
putting a teaspoonful of canthrox
(Which they get from the druggist)
in cup of hot water and applying
this instead of soap. This full cup of
shampoo liquid is enough so it is
easy to apply it to all the hair instead
Of just the top of the head. After it's
use, the hair dries rapidly with uni
form color. Dandruff, excess oil and
dirt are dissolved and entirely dis
appear. The hair is so fluffy that it
looks much heavier than it is, its lus-
ter and softness are delightful-Adv.

, HON. AMOS p. WILDER
HONORED BY YALI
COLLEGE IN CHINA

Next Bungalow to Be Built at the
College Will Be Named After Dr..
Wilder Who Has Completed a Ser
vice of Five Years as Secretary of
the Society
Augusta people will read with in
terest of the recent honor bestowed
upon one of Augustus former boys,
Hon. Amos P. Wilder, a graduate of
Yale college, for faithful service rem
dered at the Yali college in Chang
sha, China. DR.. Wilder is a brother
of DR.. Julian Wilder of this city and
is we'll remembered here by host of
admiring friends. Yali college is the
Yale college of China and the follow
ing clipping is taken from 1.-The Yali
Quarterly" published in the interests
Of that school:
"Tribute to Amos p. Wilder, 'S4
Professor F. W. Williams, chair
man of the Yali trustees, writes:
THE next bungalow to be built on
the campus at Changsha, which has
been donated by the undergraduate
body at Yale, is to be named in honor
Of DR.. Amos P. Wilder, who complet-
ed last June service of five years as
secretary of the society. There is no
one alive upon whom such a tribute
could be more fittingly bestowed.
DR.. Wilder lived eight years in China
in the American consular service
and while there had opportunities
for rather intimate personal contact
with missionaries and their work. 1t
may be accepted as some evidence of
the impression they made upon the
mind of a man whose associates in
office are supposed to be rather an
tipathetic to missionary movements
that upon his return to this country
he responded at once to the call of
the Yale Foreign Missionary Society
to take charge of it's affairs as it's
secretary and treasurer. His health
had been seriously affected by the
climate Of Shanghai, and it was at
considerable sacrifice that after a
few months rest in California he
| came to the New Haven office in the
fall of 1915 and began the arduous
! task of putting Yali on the map of
the Yale world. His knowledge of
Chinese conditions, his experience
as an old newspaper hand. his loyal
ty as Yale alumnus, with a broad
vision of the international scope of
Yale's interests, and his Christian
/ conservation, combined to fit him al
most ideally for the office. To him
more perhaps than to any other one
person the society owes it's recog-
niZed place in the hearts of thou
sands of graduates who have learned
to take pride in the largest purely al
truistic enterprise conducted by any
university in the world. He has
stirred the minds of alumni in scores
of meetings and brought home to
thousands of readers in the Quarterly
which he established the far-reach-
ing influence of this endeavor. 1t has
been a wonderful exhibition of de-
voted service with inspiring con-
facts. His name will always remain
as part Of YAH both at home and
abroad

SWEET CORN GROWERS
Sec'y. Crawford's. Reply to Offers of
Gamers
Augusta, Maine,

Augusta, Maine,
April 10, 1921.
The sweet corn growers are stand
ing pat and refuse to be bluffed any
longer in the same old way, namely
1--WE will move our plant to other sec
tons, will go west where we can get
corn cheaper. Unless we get a speci-
fled number of acres before certain
date, our factory won't run, etc"
These are old numbers and should
be discarded. A sweet corn market
is valuable to Maine only so long as
corn can be grown at profit to the
producer. At csc or .03 1-2c not over
3S per cent. of the growers can get
cost of production. With potatoes
selling at one-half cost, milk at about
cost, beef way below cost, eggs at
pre-war prices, farm labor inefficient
and hard to get, costing nearly as
much as last year, fertilizer practi-
cally same as last year, no promise
of even normal yield of 1000 pounds
Of corn to the acre which at .O3c per
pound means only $50. 90 per acre, man

labor alone will nearly if not quite,
cost that much,-where will the mon
ey come from to pay ever increasing
taxes?
1t is good investment now and then
to pay a reasonable price for a good
market, but if sweet corn growers
have got to buy a market at war pric-
es year after year, then pay out $2.00
for western grain for each $1.OO re-
ceived for sweet corn it would look
like good business to drop sweet corn
and grow our own grain. The follow
ing clipping from a New York paper
shows that Maine farmers are not
alone in fighting for cost of produc-
ton:
New York farmers who grow crops
for the canning factories have State
Association. They have agreed up
on what they consider a fair price
for their crops, and refuse to sign
contracts until the Gamers meet
them. The Gamers, or at least some
of them, refuse to deal with the AS
ISOLATION, but offer an unsatisfactory
contract to individuals. These can
ners claim that the law under which
the Dairymen's League, the fruit
packers and other cooperative associ-
atoms were formed, is unconstitution-
al, and that therefore these organiza-
tions are illegal. This would include
the wool association and the Grange
Exchange. Our opinion is that this
is a cheap and noisy bluff put up by
these Gamers in a desperate effort to
break up the growers association by
frightening the weakened members
and getting them to sign individual
contracts. With that done, they fig
ure that the Association would break
apart, close their identity and thus
it's power to enforce a fair contract.
We cannot imagine that the men who
have stood up SO bravely for the past
few years, and develop their organi-
cation. will now run before the
storm. Stand together. The tempest
Will be more like rain of dried peas
there may be thunder in it. but the
growers can provide the lightning"
Latest Report
Have just received a report that
the Portland Packing Co. have opened
their books at .03 1-2c per pound.
Very few farmers will be caught by
this latest slap at their intelligence.
The packers were frankly told by the
Executive Committee of the growers
that nothing less than .O4c would be
considered.
