NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-"The present
advance in the price of wheat and flour

General Becker, who is conducting an

THE American farmer he con

they dare not buy heavily because OF

this country, is, think remote"

impure when they started out in this

Many of them never reached the bat

in camp, due to stomach and bowel
troubles, and with blood powerless to
resist. Young men and old men in

Civil Case,

United Press Leased Wire Service
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-The state
department today expected to re-
ceive soon, data on which to base its
course in the case Of the American
steamship Evelyn. destroyed by a
mine off the German coast.
Ambassador Van Dyke at The
Hague, was under instructions to in.
vestigate the fate OF the Evelyn's
crew. Original reports declared It
safe, but subsequent unofficial word
indicated that some, who headed for
the Dutch coast, are missing.
President Wilson was in possession
Of all the facts the state department
has. as result Of a conference over
night with Secretary OF State Bryan.
No definite procedure, however, was
mapped out
While no protests against strewing
mines was anticipated today. officials
suggested that inquiry might be made
concerning foreign governments steps
to protect neutral commerce in mined
waters. This plan was considered the
more advisable in view Of the Evelyn
captains reported claim that a Brit.
ish naval boarding officer had directed
him to follow his fatal course, instead
of keeping on the northerly path, ad.
vised by Germany.
Little chance Of diplomatic protest
was seen In official CIRCLES today. To
establish the identity OF the nation
which sowed the mine is practically
impossible ana probably the most
drastic action the government can
take is civil action through its war
risk insurance bureau, in addition to
a suit by the Evelyn's owners.

USING SOAP
SPOILS THE HAIR

Soap should be used very sparing-
W, if at all, if you want to keep your
hair looking its best. Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too much
alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the
hair brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
Just ordinary mulsifed cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and greaseless), is
cheaper and better than soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in. It makes an abund-
ance of rich, creamy lather, which
rinses out easily, removing every par
ticle of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex-
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and it leaves the scalp
soft, and the hair fine and silky,
bright. lustrous, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get fnulsifed cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, and few ounces
will supply every member of the fam
lily for months.

NEW BLOOD ON
TAP In BOWLING
LEAGUE COUNTS
Ilderan Club, of Railway,
Tied with RoseviIle
A. A. for Lead.

The official standing of clubs and in
dividual averages for the Athletic
bowling League for the week just
closed reveals rather a different situa-
ton than seven days ago. At present
the new blood injected into the league
has made itself felt, as invariably new
blood of high calibre does. In other
words, the former champions, the
Roseville A. A. and the Ilderan Club,
of Railway, are tied for the lead, each
with 7 games won and lost.
As it happens, the good old Roseville
combination, tried and true, has an
average of 950-odd, while the newcom-
ers have 916. commendable in either
case. 1t is strange that New York,
with a 948 average, has won s and lost
3, but that represents the element of
luck in match play bowling.
Old reliable pin knights may be de-
pended upon TO come to the fore, as
evidenced in the fact that Frederick
Gerdes, of the n. Y. A. c., tops the in
dividual list with figures of POOL for
nine games. A week ago there were
several individuals with figures of con-
siderably more than the double CEN
fury, but the early games in league
of this kind may ultimately result in
almost anything.
William S. Moffatt, Of Roseville, al
ways dangerous bowler, dropped from
an average of 220-odd to 1911 A real
pin spiller is bound to find his own
level in time. So, as the schedule pro-
crosses, more changes may be ex-
pected.
Following are the official figures for
the standing of the clubs and the indi-
vidual averages to date:
