URGING CONNOLLY
FOR STATE PLACE
Friends Want Him for State Coun-
seIor, but He Likes iowa
Very Well.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 16.-For-
mer r Representative Maurice Connolly,
who has returned to Washington after
a business mission in New York and
who will soon go to Iowa, is being
strongly urged by some of his friends
for the position of counselor OF the
state department. Mr.. Connolly, it is
pointed out, has had a fine training
as lawyer, graduated at Cornell and
studied at Oxford and Heidelberg. His
friends say he has both the capacity
and tact to make an excellent coun-
selor. He and Secretary of State
Lansing had long conference yes
terday, but it was on matters other
than the counselorship.
While in New York Mr.. Connolly
was offered a position in prominent
law firm. He is still considering it,
but said he was averse to leaving
Iowa and expected to remain a resi-
dent of the state.

COCOANUT OIL MAKES
A SPLENDID SHAMPOO

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, the less soap you use
the better.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. just plain mulsifed
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless), is much better than
soap or anything else you can use for
shampooing, as this can't possibly in
jure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abundance
Of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses
the hair and scalp thoroughly. The
lather rinses out easily, and removes
every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves it
fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsifed cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and few ounces, is enough to
last everyone in the family for
months.

Mexican Alternatives.

Chicago Tribune: Some day, and
the day is not far off, we shall have to
act decisively. Our hope that Mexico
would fight the war fever out of its
veins that patriotic and disinterested
men would be found capable of bring
ing back order on basis promising
political and social progress-this gem
erous hope is not only no nearer reali-
cation, it seems virtually to have dis
appeared. Why then do We continue
to NEEDLE with Mexican conditions?
Either we ought to go about practic-
ally and vigorously to mend them or
we ought to keep our hands off and
face the certainty that sooner or lat
err other governments, who have re-
spected our prior rights and special
interests, will act with respect for
their own interests and little for ours.

IDonneIson Gets Letter From Chicago
Firms Wanting to Bid on
Contracts for Build
in9 II.
THAT CITY IS MODEST
Supposes That in Absence Of Definite
Information, Firm Looked over
County Map and Picked
1t For Site.

Donnellson is quite modest. The
editor of the Donnellson Review says
so. The following concerning the court
house which a Chicago firm is trying
to wish on Donnellson is taken from
the Review:
The innate modesty of the people
of Donnellson will in all probabilities
prevent us from ever realizing the full
fruition CT all our hopes and aspira-
tons. II we ever get what is coming
to us, some outside influence will be
responsible. Possibly some of our peo-
pie have at one time had a vision of
new court house, erected, for in
stance, on the old school house site,
but have awakened to find it was but
dream. Still dreams sometimes come
true, and it remained for firm over
in the windy city Of Chicago to first
break the news gently to us. The
news has reached them that a new
court house was to be erected in Lee
county, and in the absence of any
definite information regarding it's
location they have looked over a map
Of the county and naturally arrived at
the conclusion that public building
Of that character would be built near
the center of the county, and that
Donnellson was the place, hence the
following letter:
Chicago June IL, 1915.
City Clerk Donnellson, Iowa.
Dear Sir-We would esteem it a
great favor if you would inform us
the name of the architect who will
prepare plans for your new court
house, to be erected in Donnellson,
Iowa, and about when bids will be
taken. Also, kind of construction
number Of stories, dimensions, and
approximate cost of the building.
