A Bumper Crop Next Fall Might Be the Deciding Factor in the War In modern war the plow is as potent a weapon man who follows the furrow may be as great a patr to the trenches, if he does not choose to perform to evade the hardships and dangers of the latter. One of the very greatest contributions which States can make to the cause of civilization in its a bumper crop at next fall's. harvest. This is of vital importance not only to our own of the nations with which we are about to make common cause against Ger- many. We have been notoriously lax in our agricultural methods up to now be- cause we have never faced the necessity which now This necessity calls not only for ample food for as the 16-inch gun.

An increase of 10 per cent in the total crops ¢ vf the United States this year, as compared with a normal year, would mean millions of tons of food. Throw this food into the scales against Germany and it might well be the deciding factor in the world war. It seems as tho it ought to be easy to accomplish this when one considers the vast extent of the untilled lands in every section of the country and also that in few sections has intensive cultivation been s ystematically carried out. The farmers of the nation have a wonderful opportunity if they have the will to take advantage of it. In a le! er degree city dwellers and suburbanites have a like opportunity. In every city, suburb and village there is more or less unused land, most of which would yield splendid crops of vegeta deal of such vacant territory. bles.

It isn’t. It has more power, in war or peace, than other nation on earth. And let us prove this to the who arouse us to war! Maybe we have been drifting in dangerous fashion, with our national spirit suborned prosperity and our mission in the world becoming dim whe war will not be wholly bad for us, morally, socially, lly. At‘any rate, this is no time to cringe and cry ‘our weaknesses. “Thrice armed is he who hath his quar- just” and knows he can whip the other fellow. _ The kaiser’s diplomats fired out of China are to cross the United States on their way home.

Within ten minutes after an ap plication of Danderine you cannot find a single trace of dandruff or falling hair and your scalp will not itch, but what will please you most will be after a few weeks’ use, when you see new hair, fine and downy at first—yes—but really new hair—growing all over the scalp, A little Danderine immediately doubles the beauty of your hair. No difference how dull, faded, brit- tle and scraggy, just motsten a cloth with Danderine and carefully draw it through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. The effect is amazing—your hair will be light, fluffy and wavy, and have an appearance of abundance; an incomparable luster, softness and luxuriance. Get a 25-cent bottle of Knowl. ton’s Danderine from any drug store or tollet counter, and prove that your hair is as pretty and soft as any—that it has been neglected or injured by careless treatment— that's all-—you surely can have beautiful hair and lots of it if you will just try a little Danderine, disappearance, reappearance, and “fool explanation,” Tris re plied: “Well, we've won the pennant, | and they're here.
