How Many
Birthdays?
You must have had sixty at
least! What? Only forty?
Then it must be your gray
hair. Ayer's Hair Vigor stops
these frequent birthdays. It
gives all the early, deep, rich
color to gray hair, and checks
falling hair. And it keeps the
scalp clean and healthy.
" I was greatly troubled with dandruff which
produced a moat disagreeable Itching of the
■call). I tried Ayer's Hair Vigor and the dan- ]
druff soon disappeared. My hair also stopped J
falling out until now I have a splendid head
of hair."—DAVID C. KINNK. i'lainfleld. Conn.

THAT'S WHO
More About the Public Schools.
Capella, Jan. 22.
Mr. Editor :
I see in the Reporter of Jan. 18
a letter from Old Coon concern
ing the school at Oak Grove. I
think the ] üblic schools are a
failure in this county. We need
good men teachers. I find where
they have got men teachers they
have got good schools. The big
trouble is with the young lady
teachers trying to teach and not
knowing how. In Btoß the time
is up with the young man that
cannot read and write. I think
that something must be done.
Old Coon, please tell me what we
can do to get our schools better.
•Just come and spend one day at
the Capella school and you will
find that it takes two teachers and
not one-half of tha scholars at
tending. If all iu the district
were to go, I guess it would take
four teachers.
I will close my remarks by wish
ing the Reporter a happy and a
prosperous New Year.

FOR SALE BY N A MAUTIS
NO MORE TOBACCO SEED.
Mr. Editor:
Please allow nie space to suy *
just a few words.
Since my talk on tobacco cul-«
ture and seed selection was pub
lished in the October Bulletin
lust year, farmers over the country
have been literally flooding me
with letters requesting me to send
them tobacco seed. And I want
to say to you, brother farmers, all
of you, who have written me for
seed and received none, that I
have sent out all the seed I could
spare of my own growing, and
have t?one to my neighbors many
time for seed for those I could not
supply with seed of my own rais
ing, and now I have no more of
any kind. And while I would liko
t> accommodate all those who have
written me for seeil and were
thoughtful enough to enclose
stamps to pay postage, I cannot
do it. for, as stated above, the seed
are out «>r all gone. And further
many have written me for seed and
failed to send stamps to pay pos
tage on them. So T write these
few lines trusting that they may
lie brought to the notice of these
parties and give them to under
stand why their letters have not
been answered. It may seem to
some that this is too small a mat
ter to speak of, but when I tell you
that it took my daughter and my
self about half of a day to answer
all the letters on hand at that time,
and that I had answered many be
fore that and many since, and that
there are a number yet unanswer
ed, some of them iu the shape ofa
postal card, and many of them con
taining no stamps, I say that
when you remember this, and bear
in mind that I have no more to
bacco seed, I am sure you will
pardon me for writing this and
telling you not to send me any
more letters for seed.
