Try This IF You
Have Dandruf

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This de-
stroys it entirely. To do this, Just get
about four ounces of plain. ordinary
liquid arvon; apply it at night when
retiring; use enough to mo stem 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 completely
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
stantIy. and, your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous. glossy. silky and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. 1t is inexpensive, and four
ounces is all you VIII need. This
simple remedy has never been known
to fail-Adv.

Records for FEBRUARY Broken,
Weather Report Shows-Fruit
Buds Thrust Ahead at Alarming
Rate.
(By S. D. Flora. MeteoroIogist)

Mild, sunshiny weather of a spring.
like variety was general over Kansas
after the opening days of this week,
with some of the highest temperatures
ever recorded SO early in the season
when the thermometer readings of 70
degrees and higher were general on
Sunday and Monday. There was prac-
tically no freezing after the middle of
the week. A few light rains fell in
scattered localities, but the warm, dry
winds put the soil in condition for a
great. deal of farm work
Conditions continue ideal for wheat
There is an abundance of moisture for
it in all parts and under the influence
of sunshine and warmth it is greening
up and making a satisfactory growth
generally In quite number of local
tiles it is reported as being in the best
condition known at this time of the
year 1t is now stooling in all but the
most northern counties.
Spring blowing is under way. except
in the northwest quarter. and is re-
ported as 20 to so per cent finished
in the extreme southeast. Oats sowing
has already begun in the latter section
and if favorable weather continues
will spread to practically all the east
ern half of the state south of the Kan
sas river basin in another week or ten
days.
Alfalfa in the central counties. where
the bulk of the crop is raised, is green
ing up and beginning to show signs of
growing. As rule its condition Is
reported as good. Fruit buds are be-
ing forced ahead of the season rather
lalarminFly and considerable apprehen-
sion is being felt that they may be
damaged by low temperature later in
the season.

ACT ON GRAIN BILLS SOON
Two Senate Measures Would Prevent
Gambling in Futures.

Announcements from Washington to
the effect that it was probable that the
Capper bill designed to stop gambling
in wheat futures on the board of trade
may be laid over until the next ses-
sion, may produce action by Kansas,
on its own hook.
Two bills, one by Senator Green the
other by Senator Frizell, which would
make gambling in futures a crime in
this state, with a heavy penalty at
tached, are now lying in the senate
committee on agriculture. The authors
of the bills, both of whom are mem
bers of the committee, have made no
effort to have them brought to the
floor of the senate, because they were
hoping that the Capper bill would be
come a law. and they much prefer fed
eral regulation on the subject.
But with the possibility that the
Capper bill may be shelved at Wash
ington, Senator Frizell, chairman or
the committee on agriculture, declared
this morning that his bill and Senator
Green's bill We're due for consideration
at the first meeting of the committee
on agriculture. which will probably be
before the end of this week.

Late in April, 1920, the court called
for a reargument Of the case and set
that argument for October II, 1920.
The case was argued by the same
counsel on October IA and Is, and nov
awaits decision by the court.
The effect OF the litigation was to
cast a cloud upon the validity of farm
loan bonds. which constitute the only
source Of Ioanable funds by the banks
and no bonds have been offered for
sale since the suit was instituted.
In the spring Of 1919, at the concIu-
sion of the Victory loan campaign, the
farm loan board made a bond offering
and SOLD sufficient bonds to carry the
banks to January 1920
In anticipation of an early decision
some Of the banks used their CONNER
cial credit, and lo2ning operations
we're continued to February when
funds were entirely exhausted.
In June last year congress passed
house joint resolution No. 351, auth
orizing the purchase of certain bonds
by the treasury, limiting these pur-
chases to bonds based on mortgages
approved prior TO March l. Under
this provision $45.40O, 900 bonds have

Of business. A conservative estimate
would be that loans aggregating 500
100000 await closing as fast as it IS

When business was suspended, the
banks were closing loans at the rate
OF S15,00000 per month, and in the
