Kearney Farmers Believe
Wheat Damage Overstated
Kearney, Neb.. March 27. (Spe
cial.) The condition of the Kearney
and Buffalo county winter wheat crop
was made a subject of discussion at
the Commercial club meeting Mon
day. The report was made that the
crop of the two counties was in bad
shape and that a majority of it would
be a total loss. This statement was
not borne out by other report! re
ceived. It was stated that many
patches of winter wheat that was
black were to be found, but that there
was still life in the kernel and a very
bright prospect of its coming forth
with seasonable spring weather. Jt
is not thought that much of the grain
was smothered during the winter
months. The patches of green to be
seen in wheat fields are not as nu
merous as they were a year ago, but
the farmers are not discouraged and
still believe the grain will come forth.

You Can't Brush Or
Wash Out Dandruff
The only sure way to get rid of
dandruff is to dissolve it, then you
destroy it entirely. To do this, get
about four ounces of ordinary liquid
arvon; apply it at night when retir
ing; use enough to moisten the scalp
and rub it in gently with the finger
tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning,
most if not all. of your dandruff will
be gone, and three or four more ap
plications will completely dissolve
and entirely destroy every single sign
and trace of it, no matter how much
dandruff you may have.
You will tind. too. thai all itchine
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times bet
ter.
You can get liquid arvon at anv
drug store. It is inexpensive and
never fails to do the work Adv.
