Union County Preparing for
Greatest Wheat Harvest
in Its History.
WARM WEATHER NOT FELT
Estimated Crop WW Be Between
2,000,000 and 1,500,000 Bush
els Hot Winds Lessen
rield in Washington.
ELGIN. Or., July If. (Special.)
Within a very few days Union County
will be In the midst of Its greatest
harvest. A careful examination of
fields In all sections of the county,
gives Indications that the yield will
approximate 1. BOO. 000 to J. 000, 000 bush
els from an acreage slightly less than
that commonly sowed In small grains.
That this year's crop of wheat In
Union County promlas a yield of vir
tually 60 per cent more than that of
a year ago is due to two conditions:
first, the greater acreage, and, second,
th excellent growing weather and
amount of rainfall through the season.
A survey of the wheat fields in the ter
ritory Immediately surrounding Elgin
shows a splendid stand of grain, and It
Is predicted by flourmlll men of the
valley that there will be shipped from
this point approximately 450.000 bush
els. While there Is an Increase of
virtually 20 per cent In the total acre
age, the percentage of Fall sowing Is
fully 10 per cent more than usual.
While there are streches that will
harvest CO bushels an acre In the vlcin-
ty of Elgin, It Is a common sight to
see fields that will range between 45
and 60 bushels. Sixty-bushel yields In
bygone years have only been harvested
In spots, but th percentage of such
reduction Is much greater this year
than ever before. Therefore taking the
harvest field for Held, the average this
year will be the greatest ever known
In Union County.
Warm weather Is needed to ripen
the wheat safely and barring hot winds
or a wet harvest, the crop Is practi
cally made at thla time.
Barley will range about (0 bushels
to the acre as an average, an unusu
ally good showing, even were the rain
fall more plentiful than It has been
this season. There are fields In the
county that will average better than
60 bushels but this Is too high an aver
age for the entire district.
The showing In oats Is smaller than
usual. This Is due entirely to the de
creased acreage, because the crop to
the acre la a record breaker.
Alfalfa la making the aame heavy
showing In this section as has been
noted In all portions of Oregon.

Grows Hair
on Bald Heads
A Remedy That . Costs
Nothing if It Fails to
Do as Claimed.
Resorcin is one of the latest and
most effective germ-killers discovered,
by science, acd In connection with Byta
Naphthol, also a powerful antiseptic a
combination la formed which destroys
the germs which rob the hair of its
nutriment, and thus creates a clean
and healthy condition of the scalp,
which prevents the development "of new
germs. Pilocarpine is a well-known agent
for restoring the hair to its natural
color, where the loss of color has been
due to a disease. Yet it is "not a col
orinsr matter or dye.
The famous Rexall "93" Hair Tonic
is chiefly composed of ReorclQ. Beta
Naphthol and Pilocarpine, combined
with pure alcohol because, of Its, cleans
ing and antiseptic qualities. It makes
the scalp healthy, nourishes the hair,
revitalizes the roots, supplies hair
nourishment and stimulates a new
growth.
We want you to try a few bottles
of Rexall '-93-' Hair Tonic on our per
sonal guarantee that the trial will not
cost you a penny if it does not give you
absolute satisfaction. That's proof of
our faith In this remedy and it should
Indisputably demonstrate that we know
what we are talking- about when we
say that Rexall "93" Hair Tonic will
grow hair-on bald heads, except of
course where baldness has been of such
long duration that . the roots of the
hair are entirely dead, the follicles
closed and grown aver, and the scalp
is glazed.
Remember, we are basing our state
ments upon what has aj ready been ac
complished by the use of Rexall "93"
Hair Tonic, and we have the right to
assume that what it has done for hun
dreds of others it wilj do for you. In
any event you cannot lose anything by
giving it a trial on our liberal guar
antee. Two sizes. 50 cents and $1.00.
