LOW REUNION RATES FOR
BLUE AND GRAY VETERANS
Announcement Made That Govern
ment Can Furnish Tranaportation
t
Washington, March I.—Director
General McAdoo has decided that the
Confederate Veterans shall have spec
ial rates and no interference of trans
portation to their reunion this sum
mer at Tulsa, Okla., and that the
Grand Army of the Republic shall
have the same for its meeting at
Portland, Ore.
Because of the congested condition
of the railroads, and also as a war
measure, there was some probability
that transportation facilities and rates
might be denied to these special
trains. The situation has cleared,
Mr. F armer-
The problem of producing enough food stuffs in this
country to feed our armies abroad, our people at home,
and at the same time supply a large surplus essential to
our allies, has become so acute that the solution of this
question may prove the actual turning point in a success
ful conclusion of the war.
DON’T YOU THINK IT YOUR DUTY TO YOUR
COUNTRY to go the limit in aiding this situation? If
you do, you ought to begin now by buying a good Here
ford bull and crossing him with your native cattle, and
if you haven’t any native cattle, you ought to get some.
The beef stocks and breeding stocks of Europe have
become terribly depleted by the war, and when the war
is over the United States will be called upon to supply the
tremendous shortage in foreign breeding stocks.
DON’T YOU THINK IT YOUR DUTY TO YOURSELF
to share in the extraordinary profits which this demand
will bring about? If you do, buy a few Hereford cows
or heifers now and lay the foundation for a purebred herd.
If you give them reasonable care you will be amazed to
see how rapidly they grow in numbers and in money value.
LET NO ONE MISLEAD YOU. The Hereford is the
best beef breed. The United States Government, through
Farmers’ Bulletin No. 612, dated January 21, 1915, said:
*‘As a ‘rustler’ the Hereford is surpassed by no breed of
beef cattle, and they excel the Shorthorns in this respect
•—they have been recognized as a breed which responds
readily to favorable environment as w r ell as being able
to thrive under adverse conditions where other breeds
would not do well—as a breed they have a better heart
girth, stronger constitution and can withstand adverse
conditions better than the Shorthorns—they are early
maturing and fatten readily in the feed lot—on plantations
specially, and farms with only fairly good pasture, the
Hereford will give better results than the Shorthorn.”

GIRLS! HAVE A MASS
OF BEAUTIFUL HAIR,
SOFT, GLOSSY, WAVY
A Small Bottle Destroys
Dandruff and Doubles
Beauty of Your Hair
Within ten minutes after an ap
plication of Danderine you can not
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
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, brittle
and scraggy, just m oisten a cloth
with Danderine and carefully draw
it through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. The effect is amaz
ing—your hair will be light, fluffy
and wavy, and have appearance of
abundance; an incomparable lustre,
softness and luxuriance.
Get a small bottle of Knowlton’s
Danderine from any drug store or
toilet counter for a few cents and
prove that your hair is as pretty and
soft as any—that it has been neglect
ed 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. advt.
