HAYDEN SEES PENANT.
Owner Of Pathfinders Hears Bunting
EIappino in Breezes of Ball Park.

Tom HAYDEN and his PathfinderS
will win the Central Association PEN
nant OF 1918, So much is settled, al
least in the mind of Mr.. Hayden. This
same gentleman won pennant last
year before the season opened, ana
claim the rag up to the last week OF
play, when Doc" Anderson convinced
him that Waterloo had title to pos
session, which could not be gainsaid.
Hayden has never been thoroughly sat
isfed that he should not have won the
1914 honors, and he comes forward
again this year with the same old
claim, and produces facts concerning
his hopefuls in proof thereof.
Hayden has given out a statement
in regard to his 1915 squad, from
which it might be inferred that the
cham pionship race was decided before
it was begun. He has signed one OF
the greatest aggrega tons ever gath
cred within one ball park. and his new
material is of such promise that he
views with alarm the possibility of re-
leasing and embryo Cobb or Wagner
when the time comes to reduce his
squad Hayden promises Burlington
one of the best teams he ever had in
his charge, and he is not worrying over
the four veteran rule because he has
no players signed who would be af-
fected by the latest baseball law. Hay
den will visit the southern training
camps before he assemblies his team
for spring work and hopes to pick up
one or two players cast adrift by the
higher leagues. While Hayden is bub
bling over with confidence he refuses
to give out a list of his players. He
promises to do so in a short time,
however, and when the roster is pub
lished it is expected to cause seven
other managers of the association to
throw up their jobs. according to re-
ports emanating from Burlington.

DON'T USE SOAP
ON YOUR HAIR

When you wash your hair, don't
use soap. Most soaps and prepared
sffampoos contain too much alkan,
which is very injurious, as it dries
the scalp and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap, and beats soaps or any
thing else all to pieces. You can get
this at any drug store. and a few
ounces will last the whole family for
months.
Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in, about a tea
spoonful is all that is required. 1t
makes an abundance of ric.:, creamy
lather, cleanses thoroughly. and
rinses out easily. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh
looking, bright, fluffy, wavy. and
easy to handle. Besides, 1t loosens
and takes out every particle of dust,
dirt and dandruff.

Job.

Job had his troubles, yes. indeed;
That's what he was created for
But still he never had to read
All day about the foreign war.
Job had to fight his way thru life.
His battle tales would fill book;
But still twas imitation strife
He never had to fire cook.
Jobs troubles sought him everywhere;
They came to him from near and 1ar'
But stiN ne mad no need back there
To dodge the snorting motor car
Jobs woes camped right upon his trail
His lot was hard as any mans;
And yet he never went to jail
For throwing glass inn garbage cans
