BEET LABOR SHIPMENTS
TO BEGIN AT ONCE

ri GROWERS URGED TO PLACE LABOR ORDERS WITH
FIELDMEN OR FACTORY IMMEDIATELY FOR EAR1I-
EST POSSIBLE DELIVERY.
m. There is available no wa good supply of labor for work in the beet
fields But the indications arc that by the middle of April labor will be-
in demand for railroads and other industries in addition to other sugar
beet growers.
Other beet sugar companies will this Spring start shipping labor EARL.
Ter than in former seasons.
We want the growers for u factories to get their due numbers of
the better class of beet workers.
To succeed we must start shipping by April 18th.
It is recommended that growers who require outside labor place their
orders with their feldmen or factory 1t n for delivery 500 after
April Is.
Labor engaged for the early shipments will be selected to the best
ability of u agents. The best possible help will be obtained for the
growers for u factories
Experienced beet labor, o N the whole, is preferable to "green" help.
The experienced workers call for less supervision from the grower who
needs only to see that they do his beet work the best way. Green
hands must be taught to do the work and must also be supervised to
insure that they do it properly.
As far IS possible W desire to furnish experienced labor who will
aid the grower to obtain higher yields per acre. Labor market con-
dtons make it advisable to begin shipping beet workers into this district
at once.

Superfcially there would seem 10 be
good reason for assuming that the
family names in this group are what
are known as. place" names: that Is
to say, that their derivation has been
geographical, that the ton in Austen
is simply the word town. as in the
names of Huntington or Littieton. and
that Austin and Austen are but varied
spellings Of Il.
But one very good evidence that this
is not so, at least in the great majority
Of cases, is the fact that the form
which is Overwhelmingly more frequent
than the others is Austin. But this
evidence is not really needed, for the
many records, fragmentary and other
wise, preserved from medieval times in
England, show beyond doubt the true
origin. which. barring the exceptional
cases which always crop up now and
then, lies in the given name of Austin
or, as it is spelled in the famous Hun
dred Rolls" a document which has
the nomenclature OF medieval England,
"Astin."
AS a given name it was brought into
England by the Norman-French. IT
became family name first by such
methods as the addition OF SON. or
the prefxing Of '.fitS," which was the
Norman-French equivalent OF the An
glo-Saxon ''son," the Scandinavian
"sen," the Gaelic "mac" or 'ua"
('O'") and the Welsh '.ap." But in
either the ''fitz' or the "son'' combine

Peter Rabbit was right about Farm

he did on the morning after the ice

he had placed in the Old Orchard were
well supplied with food for his feath
cred friends and for Happy Jack the
Gray Squirrel and Chatterer the Red
Squirrel. Fresh suet was put up in
the trees and on the food shelves were
bread crumbs, cracked corn. sunfioW-
er seeds. nut meats and small seeds
OF various kinds
He was wise enough TO have several
food shelves, so that there might not
be any QuarrelinB over the food. All

Hair Often Ruined
By Careless Washing

Soap should be used very carefully, if you
want to keep your hair looking its best.
Many soaps and prepared shampoos contain
too much free aIkaH. This dries the scalp,
makes the hair brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is Mulsihed
cccoanut oil shampoo (which is pure and
greaseless), and is better than anything else
you can use.
Two or three teaspoonfuls Of Mulsided in
r cup or glass with little warm water is
sufficient to cleanse the hair and scalp thor
oughly. Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub the Mulsfed in. 1t makes an abun-
dauce of rich, creamy lather. which rinses
ont easily. removing every particle of dust,
dirt, dandruif and excess oil. II hair dries
quickly and evenly. and it leaves the scalp
soft, aud the hair fine and silky. bright, fus-
trous, fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get Mulsihed cocoanut oil shampoo
at any pharmacy, it is very cheap, and a few
ounces will supply every member Of the fam
