the question which perpleXed nun
after listening TO the various argu'
ments is whether Congress intended
for the new Farmers Market to be
the nucleus of a great railroad terml
nal. He also pointed out that his
eroup had not hired any highly paid
LAWYERS to represent them. but that
they were simply working for the
city's best interests in advocating a
central location.

lexington site.
Plea Made for Farmers.
DR.. Symons pointed out that many
chain store organizations and large
food distributors had thought enough
of lexington to locate their ware
houses in that section. and that it
would be a wise move for the farmers
to follow their lead. Mr.. Thorne de-
clared that the farmers wanted the
market in location where they
would be able to sell their produce.
There is no business in the South
west" he declared. "If you put the
market there another Farmers Mar
ket will be started elsewhere"

he stood on a ledge of rock where the
sun shone fully on him. The olack
spots were velvety; the yellow pack-
ground of his fur coat seemed fairly

The stranger bounded lightly 10 the
entrance to a sort of cave in the
ledge of rocks. Sammy heard a snarl
from inside that cave. He guessed
right away who was i'm there. He
guessed that it was Yowler the Bob

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Mrs. II. A. j. writes: I'm a recent
issue of your column | saw that Mrs.
l.. w. asks what she shall do for her
21-month old child who is almost bald.
| know personally of child of 3
who was not only entirely bald, but
shiny. not a spear OF hair and never
had had any. In years time her
mother grew a nice head of hair, long
enough to touch her collar, by a free
rubbing with yellow vaseline and a
good massage. She did this every day
or every other day. She said she
learned this from a friend who did
the same with her child who was bald,
and with the same result. l know
that it will do the same for men. If
they are not shining bald"
Misunderstanding bears the reputa-
ton of being a good hair grower.
Personally, ! do not think it makes
rluch difference what grease is rubbed
on the head. for it is not the grease
which does the trick, but the constant
stimulation from the massage. The
use of a grease increases the ease
with which the massage can be done
and keeps the scalp clean and free
from dandruff. l firmly believe that
any grease which a person would use
consistently every day or every other
day would have had exactly the same
effect. Also the growth of the hair
is indicative of the health of the per-
son. An undernourished person will
tend to have brittle. lusterless, thin
hair. Also different nationalities have
different types of hair, some more
luxuriant than others, because coarser.
One must take into consideration all
these factors. and it would be unwise
to attribute to vaseline all the success
which undoubtedly came from the
massage and the diet combined. All.
or almost all, hair tonics would be
successful If the persons using them
would massage as faithfully as did
your friend. The trouble is that If
the hair doesn't show marked inn
provement in a week time the aver
age user of the tonics says, Its no
good" and stops.
So. in advising your bald friends
to use vaseline. be sure and tell them
that it has to be rubbed on faithfully
every night with good massage.

way the parents of children of their
acquaintance train their children of
like ages. The similarity in ages may
be the only comparable element. for
natures and circumstances in the two
families may be so decidedly at vari-
ance. And in the case of the husband
and wife and their parents conditions
and characteristics being parallel. the
| contrast is even more at variance
Mistaken Emphasis.
| 1t is great pity when the married
| couple continues to be so tied to the
| homes OF childhood that they make it
source of strife and not happy
background for the new and individual
home they are making for themselves
and their children. 1t is when these
people make comparisons that are so
unfair that they fulfill the old saying,
comparisons are odious.
Striking Balance.
Let the man or woman who INDUCES
in diSagreeable comparisons think
back and see if his-or it may be
her-home was as ideal as is pictured
in remembrance. Did the tides of af-
fairs always run smooth? Did the
actions of parents always seem in
fallible? If the pies that mother made
were so much better than those the
wife makes, how about the other
dishes that his wife makes that are
better than those his mother cooked?
Or If the mother was a far finer cook
than his wife, it may be that the wife
is more frugal, or that she IS a
smarter needleWoman. or that she is
mentally wonderful companion.
Few persons excel in like things. and
it is certain that two housewives sell

qualities. even when one is as good
an all-around homemaker as the other.
other
The Wife's Part.
The wife who complains both in her
thoughts and in her attitude and en-
preSSionS of the way her husband falls
short of her father is equally unjust.
Not only are the kinds of business
that the two men are engaged in prob
ably absolutely different, but the mod
ern conditions prevent business from
being managed now as ii was for
merly. The grounds for similarity
are lacking; comparisons are futile.
Mental Equation.
And then besides all the varying
situations and conditions there is the
mental equation to consider. The per-
sons themselves are totally unlike. No
woman is just like her own mother.
and certain it is that she is not like
the husbands mother. No man IS
Just like any one in his own family,
and it is absurd to think him like the
wifes father. When we put the mat
ter in this light. comparisons are rec
ognized as strikingly unjust and ride
ulous. When this is appreciated. it is
easier to realize the mistake of com
pairing either the persons or the
homes. SO why not cut out this
source of home discord and center on
the agreeable personal traits of the
husband or wife and focus the atten-
ton on making this individual home
fine in its own right?

about. Sammy was still puzzling over
this as he drew near to the ledge be-
meath which Buster Bear had spent
more than one Winter. Just as he
came within sight of this ledge his
sharp eyes caught sight of something
moving. 1t was Sinking along under
the low-growing branches of some OF
the trees near there. AT first Sammy
couldn't make out what it was. All
he could see was a moving spot now
and then. Then out into plain view
leaped a stranger who was so very
much of a stranger that in his sur
prise Sammy nearly lost his grip on
the branch on which he had just
alighted. Yes. sir, he almost fell from
sheer surprise.
This stranger belonged to the cat
family. There was no doubt about
that. But Sammy had never heard
of such a cat His coat was of a
yellowish color, covered with black
spots. He was very handsome as he
stood there looking back toward the
hunters and showing all his teeth in
an ugly snarl. while his tail twitched
as only a cats tail can. He was so
handsome that Sammy drew a long
breath and was just on the point of
telling him how handsome he was
when he remembered that he hadn t
been introduced. Such bashfulness is
not at all usual with Sammy jay.
Very handsome was the stranger as

Sammy Jay was more excited than
he had been in all his life before. He
felt like screaming every minute and
he didn't scream at all. Perhaps he
thought that the hunters who were
pushing their way through the Green
Forest in a long line were making
noise enough, Anyway. he kept his
tongue still and flew silently ahead
of them. Never in all his life had
he seen so many frightened people ex-
ceptins when the Red Terror had
driven feathered and furred folk be
fore it,
Somehow to Sammy it didn't seem
true. Nothing at all like it had ever
happened before and it was hard work
to believe that it was happening now.
