In this way it can be ap plied directly to the roots without mussing the hair or getting it oily. Rugs Try to remember when pur chasing new rugs that are to be subjected to a good bit of sun light, that browns, dark blues, and greens, will fade more readily than lighter shades. Small Plants It is well to watch carefully the soil around small plants. Many of these plants are lost because the surface of tne soil is allowed to become hard and crusted and the little seedlings do not possess sufficient strength to force their i way through.

PATRONIZE YOUR ADVERTISERS Women Eligible For Federal Juries Starting May 11, women may serve as jurors in the Lincoln Division Federal Court. Though Nebraska has eight di visions, only four are equipped with facilities for women. The four divisions to use women jurors are: Omaha, Norfolk, Has tings, and Lincoln. Those for men due to lack of facilities are: Chadron, McCook, North Platte and Grand Island. It is not necessary for women to give reasons for refusing to serve as jurors, but men must give valid and acceptable reasons. % Clerk Carl H. Worley says, that experience in the three other di visions indicate that women do not asked to. be excused, more often than men. Facilities for women jurors in the Post Office building were completed too late for the October term. proved by adding a sprig of mint to the water.

Hughes, of Seward, State March of Dimes Chairman. Mr. Hughes based his prediction on preliminary unaudited reports reaching him from the various counties of the state. Half of this total will remain with Nebraska county chapters to aid local polio * patients, Mr. Hughes remarked. The other half will go to continue polio research, training of professional personnel, and for emergency epidemic aid in major epidemic areas. Mr. Hughes stated that Ne braska county chapters spent over $677,000 in aiding local polio patients in 1952 and had to have heavy advances from National Headquarters to meet the needs. “Every person in Nebraska who in any way helped to make the 1953 March of Dimes campaign a success should feel very proud indeed,” Mr. Hughes commented. “From school kids with their pennies, nickles and dimes to the highest contributors, we say, ‘Thanks for your generous help!’ To those thousands of volunteers who helped in this campaign, my sincere thanks! “While Nebraska was hit the hardest with polio in 1952, we have struck back with our dimes and dollars, demonstrating our determination to stay in the fight against this crippler until the battle is won. The rest of the na tion will certainly take note of Nebraska’s determination. Our citizens have every reason to en joy that feeling that comes with a job well done.” Gil left Poultry FRESH DRESSED POULTRY QUALITY EGGS Phone 2-2001 528 No. 9th Your City _^ght.
