Try This If You
Have Dandruff

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This de
stroys il entirely. To do this, just get
about four onuces of plain liquid
arvon; apply it at night when retir-
ing; 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 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
stantly, 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 will need. This
simple remedy has never been known
to fail.--AdveTtiseme

PROBLEM, DUTY FACE
EVERY AGE, WATKINS
SAYS AT Elk RITES

Every age has its problem, every
age its paramount duty" said Charles
Watkins, of Muncie, in his address at
the memorial service of Richmond
lodge of Elks in the First Presbyter-
ian church Sunday afternoon.
"The men of one generation do not
leave their task for the succeeding
one TO carry, but solve it, and pass on
into the realm of eternity. The men
of the last generation, for instance,
bloted out the perils of slavery, and
gave TO the children of this age a unit
ed and free country.
The men and women of this day
have their own problems, too. They
cannot shrik or evade them if they
want to be true to the traditions of
their forbears who believed in han
ding their own issues and contribut-
ing their share toward the develop
ment of the republic.
This heritage of the past, hallowed
by the sacrifical service of noble men
and women, is ours TO develop and to
improve. We also have momentous
problems, chief of which is a disre-
sara Tor law that cannot De traced TO
a weakening of our love for the re
public, but rather to a forgetfulness Of
some of our parents as to their duty
in rearing the youth.
Must Lead Youth.
Unless the fires are kept burning
on the home affairs. and the boys and
girls are taught to love and revere
the country and its laws, we cannot
solve this problem. Every man I'M
consciously is the hero and pattern
after which some boy is conforming
his life. How solemn the thought that
We, unknowing and unwittingly, are
shaping the characters and influencing
the ideals of the youth, How neces-
sary for each of US TO lead true, up
right and noble lives"
The address was one of the most
eloquent heard at a memorial service
of tho order for many years. Attor-
ney VIII Keller spoke in memory of
Harmon Meyer, T. c. Taylor and For
rest Murray, the three members who
passed away in the last year. Musical
features were by the quartet Of the

UNCLE SAM TO DISTRIBUTE
P[CRIC ACID FOR FARMERS

Farmers who share in the govern
ment's free distribution of picric acid,
SalVaged from war materials, need
not fear to use it as an agricultural
explosive; Al they will need to do
is treat it with respect. The records
are filled with the stories Of men who
forgot this precaution in handling
dynamite and other dangerous things,
yet dynamite and gun-cotton and nj
tro-glycerine, and even the justly
tractable when proper consideration
is paid to their peculiar forcefulness
in resenting rough handling. Men
who have been associated for years
with these explosives never-or al
most never-forgot this supersensi-
tivenesS. 1t is worth remembering.
The United States department Of
agriculture, through the bureau of
public roads, has about 1880, 900
pounds of this salvaged picric acid
to distribute free among landowners
to stimulate land clearing operations
quantities during the world war. Be
cause Of It's high cost Of manufacture
1t cannot be classed as an agricul-
tural explosive; but as a salvaged
war material it is recommended to
farmers who can obtain it at lower
for commercial explosives. The only
charges made by the government will
be for packing and transporta uon.
The headquarters in each state will
know how much these amount to
and for the different distances.

ment's announcement. lis a compare

at least in small quantities, with
out exploding. Theoretically picric
acid, in the presence of certain met
ais, will form dangerous compounds,
will be involved in using it in soils
containing lime or iron. 1t should
not be exposed to fire or flame, and
no metals should be allowed to come
in contact with 1t. In ordinary han
ding picric acid is not poisonous; it
can beg used in open-air blasting
WITHOUT causing headaches or other
The picric acid has been prepared
for distri bution by drying and pack
ing In double-dipped paraffined cart
tridges weighing six, ounces. These
boxes each containing 100 pounds of
the explosive. One Of these cartridges
is about equal in strength to an
eight-ounce cartridge Of the CONNER
cial dynamites used for agricultural
blasting. Picric acid is not affected
by the ordinary temperatures en-
countered in this kind Of blasting
operations.
Picric acid should be detonated
with a mo. s" detonator or cap,
and either the safety fuse, with
which most farmers are familiar, or
the electric current may be used.
Caps are placed in the cartridges the
same as in firing dynamite. These
caps must be handled carefully, and
should not be carried with the picric
acid or any other explosive. For
stumps and rock blasting picric acid
is used the same as dynamite, the

Planning
To Make Georgia
Greatest Honey State

MACON, Ca, Aug. 16.-Georgia
not only will double it's bee-keeping
industry during the next twelve
months, but will become recognized
as one of the ideal spots for bee
breeding in the whole United States,
is the confident assertion of members
Georgia, which opened its short
course in the chamber Of commerce
auditorium Monday to continue to
August 20.
A meeting of the association mem
bers was held Friday night, at which
the convention, short course and en-
tertainment of visitors to Doth these
events, was developed.
One of the major purposes of the
short course and convention will be
to inaugurate a campaign that will
ducing state of the country.
]. V. Cline, Of Omaha, Neb., who
has been in the south for the past
several weeks prospecting, and who
is one Of the biggest bee-breederS in
the country, has stated to officials
found no spot in the entire union so
ideal for bee raising as this Sec
ton.
He is prolonging his visit to be
present at the convention and snort
course, and will probably locate his
1000 colonies of bees in Georgia
within the next few months, remov-
ing all of his interests from Omaha
to Macon.
He will come to this section be-
cause it affords a longer season,
milder climate and altogether more
favorable conditions.
Inspired by the words Of the west
ern enthusiast, the Georgia bee
keepers are desirious Of putting bees
on every farm in the state, and dou-
bling the industry during the ensuing
year.
The short course is open to all
members Of the association, and any
others to whom it may appeal

Artiohokes for Grazing Down With
Hogs
j. II. NJ, Waynesville, Ga,
writes: I would like some advice
on planting artichokes Tor hog
feeding. Will they mature If
planted the last of July before
frost?
1t Is not customary to plant arti-
chokeS at this season of the year, and
l do not known just what results you
at this time. l know that they will
give an excellent account of them
selves if planted in your section of
the state in the early spring. There
Is no reason why they should not
have time to mature in south Geor-
gia If planted at this date, as they
develop about the same time as Irish
potatoes. You might try a small
area and see what results you Sc
cure. This is a cold-weather crop
and like cool season in which to
develop, which leads me to think
they might not do we'll if planted at
this season Of the year.
Artichokes should be cut and plant
ed like Irish potatoes, leaving two
eyes to the piece. Cover to a depth
Of two inches, and place the sets
about Is inches apart in the drill.
Leave the rows to 3.5 feet apart.
They stay in the ground a good long
time and are readily eaten by hogs.
They are a vluable supplemental
grazing crop for this class of stock.
They will make yields anywhere
from 200 bushels per acre and up
wards. Four or five bushels will
plant an acre. They may be grazed
from the time of maturity on
through the fall and winter. The
hogs will harvest them for them
selves, but they need in addition a
satisfactory grain ration, as the arti-
choke is a watery food and far from
concentrated on that account.
