Community Meetings
for March and April

Nearly every Farm Bureau COM
munity will hold an all day meeting
in March or early April. In most
cases both the mems and WOmen'S
divisions will hold meetings with a
dinner in between the sessions.
The general subject for women will
center about clothing and that for
men about farm management and
labor saving devices. In connection
with the latter an illustrated lecture
will be given. This lecture will show
pictures of different devices which
men have used about the farm to
save themselves labor, steps, time or
money. The lecture will be followed
by a discussion of methods and de-
vices in use by the men present at
the meetings. For instance, one man
in this county installed a lighting
system in his barn at total cost
of $3.50.
The schedule of the meetings is
given below. The dates starred are
tentative since the local Farm Bur-
eaus had not held their planning
meetings at the time Of writing
sessions begin at 1890 except in East
Augusta and West Gardiner.

At PORTLAND CITY
HALL ON MARCH 7

The Governors ball will be held
this year in Portland City hall on the
evening of Friday. March 2. and I'M
der the auspices of the State Cham
Der of Commerce. Announcement to
this effect was made Thursday at the

OF Augusta, the City hall cannot be

people, the committee decided
against the party this year.
Announcement of the plans for the
legislative party at Portland, so far
as completed was made yesterday.
and it was stated that legislators and
their wives will leave Augusta on the
9.36 train in the morning having
dinner at the Falmouth hotel on their

| State pier the Portland bridge and
go to Munjoy Hill. overlooking the
harbor. Then they will return to
the Falmouth for supper.

| organ concert of one hour by Edwin
II. Lemare, the municipal organst
and the reception. at which Governor
Baxter will be present and to which
all former governors have been invit-
ed. Dancing will continue until after
midnight. and arrangements have
been made for special trolley cars at
l o'clock to all sections of the city.

Be Careful What You Wash
Your Child'S Hair With

If you want to keep your childs
hair in good condition, be careful
what YOU wash it with.
Many soaps and prepared sham
pOos contain too much free alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and is very harmful. Mulsi-
fed cocoanut oil shampoo (Which
is pure and entirely sreaselcss). is
much better than anything else YOU
can use for shampooing as this can
not possibly ,injure the hair.
Simply put two or three teaspoon
fulS of Mulsitied in 4 cup or glass
with a little warm water. then
moisten the hair with water and rub

dries quickly and evenly. and it
leaves it fine and silky. bright, fluffy
and easy to manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut Oil

very cheap. and few ounces will
last everyone in the family for
