The Third Liberty Loan The Treasury Department has submitted the following regarding the third Liberty Loan campaign: ; - The minimum allotment of the third Liberty Loan of the various states and divisions composing the Seventh Federal Reserve district, as made by the quota committee, was well received by the several directors of sales and their organizations and the universal opinion was expressed that the third loan will be largely oversubscribed in every division of the district. Chicago and Cook county absorbs more than the small increase of $5,000,000 over the minimum of the second Liberty Loan and the minimum allotments for the other sections of the district are less than they were then, so the mark is regarded as one not only to be achieved, but presenting no difficulties in the way of going way beyoncl. "Indiana took more than $16,000,000 over the quota set for this loan of the second Liberty Bonds, an average per capita subscription of $33.23. The $53,000,000 we are called upon to take of the third loan is only 8 percent of the bank resources of the state and the Hoosier people view the prospect with equanimity," is the way Director of Sales G. H. Dunscombe looks at it. "Iowa," said C. II. McNider, director of sales, "is prepared and ready to more than double $71,-

050,000 its minimum allotment of the next loan. We are fixed out there this time to know just what wTe can do and could have done our full share had the call been for twice the amount now asked. Our method of getting the individual allotment taken and as much more as the spirit moves has been worked out to perfection and there will be no slackers in Iowa this time." "The women of this district," said Miss Grace Dixon, Seventh Federal Reserve district chairman for Women, "had been led to believe the third Liberty Loan would be fixed at $6,000,000,000 and we were prepared to do our share toward raising that amount for the government. In announcing that the bond issue is for only half this amount we feel the task is but half as hard to greatly oversubscribe the $3,000,000,000 mark. Our women state and division chairmen, and the women heads of the minor organizations who are co-operating with the men in the local bond selling forces, are prepared to take their alloted places in the ranks and do their share of of the field work just as soon as we get the word. "Our work in the two former campaigns lifted women's part in these matters outside of the f ield of experiment and demonstrated that we are a potential force in the work of raising the money to carry on the war. Predicated upon the experience gained in the other campaigns, I am sure we will acquit ourselves with credit to ourselves and our country in the third loan."

The Shipping Problem From Grad Rapids News. ' -r-ar y ASHINGTON'S decision to make use of Dutch V bottoms in Atlantic food and munitions transport service will go a long way towards solving for eastern shipping ports an immedite problem of freight congestion which up to mid-March looked very dark. In New York there were 3S Dutch bottoms lying idle. The estimated capacity of these ships was approximately 200,000 tons. Just before the decision of the government with regard to the use of these vessels, a total of more than 800,000 tons of materials had accumulated or were headed for the six main eastern ports to be transported. This amount all required movement, if possible, before the end of the month, or very early in April. About a week ago reports from the shipping points concerned showed that 8,000 loaded freight cars were tied up awaiting unloading, which was delayed because of the need of moving the mass of materials in docks and piers at the main shipping points. Behind these were as estimated 50,000 loaded cars eastbound, either awaiting shipment or in transit. The necessity for more ship

space was therefore probably more acute than it had been at any previous time. What the sudden addition of 200,000 tons of shipping space meant in the port of New York alone can be imagined. Negotiations which the government is carrying on for the use of interned German and Austrian ships in South American harbors have not been dropped, and this offers a new source of immediate augmentation of shipping tonnage. It is, however, probably the last from which available bottoms can be drawn. Whatever new tonnage is added must be built, and this is the business and problem of the American shipping board.

PINNER 5 TORI E J" -..- "Uh-huh!" a trifle grimly replied the landlord of the Petunia tavern to the horse-faced guest who had just stated in an uncompromising tone and at considerable length his desires as to apartment and service. "Well, Mr. Swaney, my rates are $2 a day, American plan, cash In advance and catch-

as-catch-can you take what you get and like it or leave it, just as you please. And no drawing maps, solving ciphers or composing national anthems on the walls of your room with a lead pencil!" Lord Northcliffe, at a farewell dinner, expressed his admiration for American hustle. "On a train the other day," he said, "I heard a dialogue that brought out your hustling qualities beautifully. " 'I'm from Ashton," said a man. 'Finest little town in the middle west!' " 'Ashton?' sneered another man. 'I don't think much of Ashton.' '"You dont? When were you there? said the first man. " 'Two weeks ago.' " 'Oh, well,' said the Ashtofiian, 'you ought to see her now!' "

Harsnips , m

Sow parsnip seed In drills from 18 Inches to 3 feet apart, depending on the method of cultivation, about the time of the last killing frost in spring. The seed should be sown rather thickly and later thinned until the plants are about 3 inches apart in the rows. The parsnip requires very rich soil for its best development. The roots are usually left in the ground during the winer and dug as needed, but may be harvested in the autumn, packed in moist sand and stored in pits or root cellars. Most people consider this root improved by freezing, so as a rule it is left in the ground as suggested. U. S. Department of Agriculture.

By HAL POD Elmer Eggemeyer tells us that a woman came into his grocery store the other day and asked one of the clerks how to' tell bad eggs. The clerk thought the matter over for a moment but finally said that he didn't " know, aa he had never told any. He was able to suggest to the woman, however, that she break It gently. After Tuesday we have no doubt the local drurr stores will have quite a few calls for Peruna. .Advice to Richmond boys who wish to escape the draft Sleep with the windows closed.

Where feneration Is bliss Some of us city folks who have never had any experience in the garden before may think that we can plant pieplant and grow some custard pies. However, ye editor of Ye Town Gossip has made Inquiries and learns that such is not possible. "My electric light bill reminds me of a famous noem." remarked Emory Hoover. "The Charge of the Light Brigade." A Richmond man whose name is withheld for obvious reasons, paid that he discovered another black hand mystery while sitting in a -little game Saturday night a spade flush. Ouv Gotsohall had a friend out in his car the other day but somehow thlncs did not seem to be going just rleht. "I believe the engine is missing," remnrked the friend. "That's funny,' said Guy, "The darn thing was there when we started." Lawrence Handley says that he agrees with Mr. Hoover's food conser

vation plans all right, but he u do hanged if he's going to keep the pig In the parlor. . 1 "If we can't have baseball this year here in Richmond, why not start up a checker league and have a little excitement anyhow?" asks Sam Vigran.

Talking about funny names, there is.

a fellow right here in our omce Dy xne name of Suits. He ought to be working at the Union store. We have a faint suspicion that fhere are liable to be a lot of "For Rent" rlgns hanging around in Richmond after Tuesday.

And Mike Kelley remarks that it will Boon be a drinkless Richmond. The new law requiring us to burn Indiana coal should be of considerable interest to Richmond citizens. Demas Coe said that we will probably all agree that it "soots" us. If this weather Keeps up they ought to be biting pretty soon. We saw a sign , over he door of a Richmond home which said: "Small

pox Keep Out!" Those last two words lead us to believe that the board of health must be trying to kid somebody. Charley Beck said the -ederal employes' war garden would be much larger this year than last. "We expect to plant some succotash this year," said Mr. Beck. We have not seen any German bands on the street yet this spring. Which is one good thing the war accomplished anyhow. The Richmond butcher who advertises that he does his own butchering must be a regular cut up.

THAT GREAT GUN The following facts about the great German gun, which shoots seventy miles, are furnished us by Prof. Amos W. Proudfoot, of PincOnning, Mich., the man who gained fame by inventing the Proudfoot cheny nitter and the

round wooden comb used in barber shops: "'The great gun is one mile long, and, Mhen not in use as a gun, can be used as a Zeppelin hangar. "A file of men sixteen abreast can march through its muzzle. "The propelling force is electricity, the current being supplied by a power house which covers one square mile of ground. "It takes sixteen men five days and a half to give it a coat of paint. "According to the latest report, this particular gun was invented by a German, seven Frenchmen and nineteen American inventors. "The world will never see a photo

graph of it, as no pnanorama camera of sufficien scope has yet been invented to take it." To the Slacker. Duck into the cellar, AVatch what you're about. For the Bugle Man will get you If you Don't Watch Out.

Nice compliment when a scientist says the brain is the seat of all pain. It implies that every person has a brain. However, just the other day we saw a man wearing purple spat3 who had a toothache.

There is going to be a food conservation luncheon at the Y. M. C A. next Saturday. Another one of those eatless affairs, we presume. Lots of Richmond people won't have to lose any sleep figuring out their income tax. Nothing from nothing leaves nothing.

GARDEN PEAS Early peas require a rather rich sandy loam with good drainage in order that the first plantings may be made early in the spring. Fertilizers that are high in nitrogenous matter should not be applied to the land immediately before planting as they will have a tendency to produce too great growth of vines at the expense of pods. Land that has been manured the previous year will be found satisfactory without additional .fertilizer. While the sandy loam Is to be preferred for early varieties, a good crop can be produced on almost any good soil. The first plantings should be of such varieties as Alaska, or some of its modifications, which make a small but quick growth and may or may not be provided with supports. These should be planted about two weeks before the date of the last killing frost, or in fact may be planted as soon as the ground is in condition. The tall-growing sorts of the Telephone type are desirable for still later use, an-account of their large production and excellent quality. Peas should be drilled in rows, one to two pints being sufficient for a 100foot row. The individual peas should be placed about 1 inch apart in the rows. The distance between rows will depend upon the kind of cultivation to be employed, and upon the varieties used. The dwarf varieties need not be any farther apart than necessary to insure cultivation, while the tall-growing sorts should not be planted closer than 3 to 3 feet apart. A good scheme is to plant two parallel rows of peas about 6 or S Inches apart, then leave a space of IS inches or two feet and plant two more rows of seed close together. Fewer strings or less brush will be required to support them than when planted in single rows at the greater distances. If peas are to be grown for immediate use only, a quart will be enough to plant at one time. However, If It is desired to grow peas for canning, large plantings should be made. If space is available, it is an excellent plan to make considerable planting at one time of some one variety, so that the peas for canning will be available in

considerable quantities. This enables

the housewife to get the canning out 1

of the way in a comparatively short time. Successive plantings of the var

ious varieties of peas should be made at intervals of about two weeks, until the weather begins to grow warm,

DANDRUFF SURELY DESTROYS THE HAIR

Girls If you want plenty of thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for it will starve your hair and ruin it if you don't. It doesn't do much good to try to brush or wash it out. 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 retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most if not all. of your dandruff will be gone, and three or more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it. You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop, and your hair will look and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is Inexpensive and four ounces is all you will need, no matter how much dandruff you have. This simple remedy never fails. Adv.

Says hearty old man of 76

Chas. G. Mehlin finds Nujol the best and safest remedy for inactive bowels, and gladly endorses it as follows: NUJOL LABORATORIES, STANDARD OIL CO. (New Jersey), BAYONNE, N. J. " Dear Sirs: ( I am well pleased, and have been greatly benefited by the use of "Nujol". I could not well get along without it; considering my age (76), it is the very thing I need. Alluwe, Okla., . Yours sincerely, Dec. 26, 1916. Chas. G. Mehlin. MR. MEHLIN frankly says that he could scarcely get along without Nujol! That's because Nujol restores regular bowel-habits, without griping or physicing, or any reaction, whatsoever, and is therefore the safest, most natural remedy obtainable. 4 Positively safe for everybody, old and young. Nujol never loses its power to relieve. It naturally strengthens bowel action, but never artificially stimulates it. By all means try Nujol the best means of relieving chronic or occasional constipation. To be "regular as clockwork" make your own test of Nujol.
