USING SOAP
SPOILSTHE HAIR

Soap should be used very spar
ingly. II at ALI If you want to keep
your hair looking its best. Most
soaps and prepared shampoos con-
tain too much alkali. This dries the
scalp. makes the hair brittle. and
ruins 1t.
The best thing for steady use Is
just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and greaseless). is
cheaper and better than soap or
anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
clease the hair and scalp thoroughly.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in. 1t takes an abundance
of rich. creamy lather. which rinses
out easily. removing every particle
of dust. dirt. dandruf and excessive
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 mulsificd cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy. and a few ounces
will supply every member Of the
family for months.-Advt

COOLIES OF CHEAP MONEY
AND STILL NO RAILROAD

For the past three or four years
the Flathead has been promised
a railroad just as soon as the
money could be secured to build
it-that is, money at a cheap
rate Of interest. We have been
told that six and eight per cent
money is too high, and it prob
ably is, but four and one-half
per cent money ought to be
alright when it is reinvested in
property paying double that rate.
On the money and general bust
ness conditions, Worlds Work
for March says:
The Pennsylvania Railroad has
recently sold to it's bankers 40
million Of dollars worth of A 4
per cent mortgage bonds. The
Illinois Central has sold 10
million dollars worth of securi-
ties. Other railroads are follow
ing suit. They are borrowing
money for productive purposes
because money is plentiful and
cheap. Within a few months
after the stringency caused by
the drawing of gold to Europe in
anticipation of possible war and
after the acute stringency caused
by the outbreak of hostilities,
we have an abundance of money
and with it the stimulus to
business which cheap money
brings.

CABBAGE, BRAN, APPLES
AND KETCHUP, HIS OUTFIT

If we knew all the things that
come to the reservation hidden
under the leather coverings of
suit cases, and happened to be
competent, several interesting
chapters of a stirring romance
could be written on the subject.
But we don't know of all the
things that find their way here
by that means. Many a suit
case has been forced to reveal
it's contents before being allowed
to pass on it's journey to Or across
the reservation, but we doubt if
any ever revealed such a cargo
as the one that arrived in Roman
Sunday last.
Had Uncle Sans special Of
ficers "fell' for the contents of
this one, there would have been
things doing around headquarters
and a new batch of regulations
and instructions issued forthwith.

he would distribute the supplies

some apples, a small
sack of bran and a bottle of

OFFERING BIG MONEY
FOR THE RIGHT WORD

Missoula, March 9th. Ten
dollars a word is the Missoula
chamber of commerce ready to
pay to some clever Western Mon
tanan for the right sort of lit
erary production.
Ten dollars a word!
The only provision that the
word be precisely the right one.
If among all of Mr.. Noah Web
ster's 200. 900 words is none
worth $40. then the chamber of
commerce will offer the reward
for the combination of words
most effectively giving explosive
expression to all that the Mis-
soula Stampede, to be held here
next July, stands for.
Let 'Er Buck" they shout in
Pendleton when their Roundup
is held, and because of the vigor
with which that slogan has been
repeated, Pendleton and "Let
'Er Buck" are inseparably asso-
ciated in the minds of half the
world.
Having arranged for a frontier
celebration unparalleled in the
history of the west, the Stampede
managers feel that they would
have a slogan more effective
than that of any less remarkable
show. So they are going to get
one.
Mntil midnight of Monday,
March Is, the Stampede commit
tee of the Missoula chamber of
commerce will receive suggested
slogans. Any resident of West
ern Montana may contribute his
idea. On Tuesday, March 10th,
the slogans received will be read
to the members of the executive
committee of the Missonla cham
Der Of commerce and the winner
of the $40 prize will be selected
by ballot. All of the contribu-
tions will be presented to the eX-
ecutive committee without the
names of their authors. The
competition will be on merit.
No restrictions are placed on
competitors. The slogan may be
of any length or character. That
one most effective as a sort of
trademark or rallying cry will
be awarded the prize. 1t is
likely, however, that a short,
distinctive slogan will
be successful. Something easily
said, easily remembered and
characteristic of Western Mon
tana's Stampede is most likely
to win.
Contributions should be ad-
dressed to THE Secretary of the
Stampede Committee, Missoula
Chamber of Commerce." and
must be in his hands before mid Ii

RECLAMATION GETS
AIRING IN HELENA

On the last day OF the session
of the Montana legislature the
Flathead reclamation project re-
ceived the attention of the house
and the management was treated
to an airing. 1t came about over
a bill introduced by Mansur of
Poison, H. B. 81, which provided
that the law giving the federal
government control of the water
power cites should be amended
so that individuals or cities might
develope the sites. The bill had
once passed the house and had
been slightly amended and
passed by the senate, and re-
turned to the house for concurr-
ence. when the bill came up in
the house Thursday it was stated
that a request had come from
the senate to have it returned to
that body for correction, where
upon Mansur secured the floor
and said the bill would not be
returned to the senate if he
could help it. He said a request
had been made to him to have
the bill go back but his reply
was: mot on your tintype." >"
A motion was made, howerer,
to return the bill to the senate,
when Mansur was again on his
feet ane opposed the motion.
Don't send the bill back
there" pleaded Mansur. IF you
do it will be a dead duck"
After Wells had explained the
senate's request, Day read a
letter from Senator Walch telling
of the trouble that H. B. 81 was
causing in Washington, the dele
cation was having difficulty in
securing appropriations for the
Flathead project because con-
gress was getting the idea that
the reservation people did not
want the project; that they
were knocking the whole PROPOSE
tion instead of helping it; that
some of the members accused
Montana people of having the
wrong attitude and of using the
Indian appropriation money to
further more or less personal
on the Flathead reserva-
ton. Day moved that H. B. 81
be placed on general orders in
the senate.
Mansur then told of talk he
had with Governor Stewart in
t lis matter and read a letter he
wrote to Secretary Lane after
a talk with the attorney for the
reclamation service. He also
read the present law in regard
to control of state streams by
the governmet and pointed out
that the government would not
let the people put little power
wheel in stream. He declared
that the government holds up
all the water and the use Of it
On the Flathead reservation and
declared that if the government
continued in it's present attitude,
he Flathead homesteaders would
soon starve from lack of water
FOR crops although there is plenty
If water in many places.
Here Lusk took a hand, in de-
sense of the reclamation service,
saying that the government
would give the Flathead the use
# all the water they wanted,
provided they would secure it
through proper channels and by
'ermit.
Macdonald said it had often
'een limited that everything be-
lind H. B. 81 was not right.
he land on the Flathead in
many places was not watered
'ecause of the arbitrary stand
f the government on the matter
nd the settlers suffered as a
esult. He then made his state
