Dandruff causes baldness by choking the pores of the scalp so that the hair roots dc not obtain proper nourishment. There is just one delightful hail tonic so compounded that besides ending itching scalp almost over night, and stopping hair from fall ing, it will remove every particle of dandruff after just a few applica tions. Ask yTur druggist for a bottle of Parisian Sage, a hair beautifier, tonic and scalp invigorator that every druggist knows always produces re sults. Thousands of women use i1 because they know that nothing else makes the hair so radiantly beauti ful and fascinating. J. E. Hood & Co. always guarantee Parisian Sage adv.

At this rate tha grown-ups might have produced enough corn for home use and 1,450, 925 toshels to sell. Instead, they bought 303,414 bushels in 1910. . VL Facta About Industries. The manufacturing industries of Lenoir are not extensive as yet. In 1915 there were ' 34 establishments with a total capital invested of $1, 121,168, employing 1,187 factory op eratives., The yearly output was f 1, 625.774. . . ' .v' The 34 establishments may t r f 0 this aud much more combine to make uu classified as follows: 5 lumber and timber concerns, 6 woodworking es tablishments, 4 buggy and wagon factories, 3 tobacco factories, 3 bot tling works, 1 bakery, 3 mattress works, 1 marble works, 2 publishing and printing establishments, 1 steam laundry, 1 oil and ice company, 2 sheet metal works, and 3 cotton i mills. There are othar small con cerns that do not admit of classifica tion. There were 14 concerns which invested over $10,000 capital stock as follows: Hines Bros. Lumber Co., $200,000; Coca Cola Battling Wks., $32,165; Hudson Buggy Co., $24,500; Ellis Carriage Works, $67,514; Kin- nton Steam Laundry, $16,000; Lenoir Oil and Ice Company, $167,450; Rut ledge & Co., $52,800; Sitterson Bot tling Works, $15,700; Whitfield Buggy Works, $21,500; Rouse Veneer and Panel Co., $32,850; Cas well Cotton Mills, $100,000; Kinston Cotton Mills, $230,000; Orion Knit ting Mills, $115;000. Shipman's annual report from the Bureau of Labor and Printing for 1915 gives no facts about the Kins ton Manufacturing Co. It also does not mention a few minor manufac turing etablishments. These con cerns evidently made no report to the Commissioner of Labor. VII. Resources and Opportunities. Named in the order of importance the resources of Lenoir are as fol lows: Agriculture, manufacturing and wood-working industries, timber, water power, and minerals. 1. The agricultural resources are boundless. In the census year the annual production of farm wealth amounted to $2,143,247, and only 39.2 per cent, of the land of Lenoir was under cultivation. In the pro duction of food and feed supplies Lenoir stood 32nd in com production; 9th in tobacco production in 1910; 7th in hogs per 1,000 acres; 9th in wheat production per acre; 37th in hay and forage production; 38th in oats production. We stand 5th in annual produc tion of farm wealth per person with $135.8, and 8th in per capita coun try wealth, wi;h $386 per inhabitant. There is a great future for the farmers of Lenoir and the first to adopt the most modern methods of farming and marketing will be the first to reap the great rewards. 2. The second resource of import ance is our manufacturing. The people of Lenoir are just beginning to realize the possibilities that are before them in the manufacturing world, the Chamber of Commerce of Kinston being the leading factor in this development. There is a great variety of manufacturing establish ments in Lenoir, all of which show marked progress in their recent de velopment. In 1915 the capital . in vested in manufacturing was f 1428.- 168; the yearly output was $1,625,- 774. The country over the , annu output of manufactured products just about equals the capital stock; but in Lenoir the output is 45 per cent greater. " .- : r. ' 3. The third resource of importance is the timber supply of Lenoir. There are about 30,000' acres of lobloBy pine and 30,000,000 feet of standing long-leaf pine in the county. Scat tered throughout the county are plains, which there a f rowtjj of Miss Mary Tapp is spending a few days in Raleigh. Mr. R. W. Fowler has gone to Tar boro on business. Mr. Thos. Harvey, Jr., is in Rich mond for a short stay. Mrs. V. Lee Turrentine is visiting relatives in Richmond. . Miss Marianna Stanley is making a short visit in Raleigh. Mr, K. L. Tolson of New Bern was a Kinston visitor yesterday. Mr. E. Y. Speed has returned af ter' a two-weeks' stay in Durham and Burlington. Mrs. J. B. Leonard and little Miss es Doris and Louise Cummings are in Norfolk to spend some tirne. Mr. and Mrs. R. P. Haynes and child went to Raleigh last night. They expect to make their home there. Mr. J. B. Stallings lefit last night for Baltimore, to visit in a hospital there his daughter, Mrs. F. M. Seagle. Miss May Oliver of Florence, S. C., is a guest in the home of Regis ter of Deeds and Mrs. C. W. Pridgen. Mrs. J. C. Heath and Miss Gay- nelle Heath are back from Green ville, where they made an extended visit. Rev. J. H.

A HINT TO THE FARMER Do not neglect to plough a fire guard around your buildings and see that it Is kept free from weeds and grasses. By using this precaution you may save a preventable loss. Allow no ope to smoke around your buildings. Do you not know that the fire waste throughout the country has reached a proportion thdt the people should unite and give some attention to fire prevention and thus lessen the lossT Cleanliness and reduction of the fire waste will bring, results; won't you try and help and also get your neigh bors interested. oaks, maples, elms and ash. Water Power. The water powers of Lenoir are almost wholly undeveloped. The Neuse river flows through the central part of the county. The stream at many points is very sluggish, and consequently ii would be very diffi cult to get the desired waterfall to develop much horsepower. At some points the fall is from 20 to 27 feet, which if properly utilized would fur nish water power enough for. the mills, factories, fend lighting pur poses. On the Knbutanes or the Neuse there are three flour and grist nulla with a total horse power of 86. Mineral Resources. '- The mineral resources of Lenoir are of minor importance, The only ones that are worth mentioning are few beds of eand gravel, limestone, kaolin, and brick clay.
