The food situation along the Des
Moines river is practically unchanged,
according to reports from the flooded
district today. The government
weather Office in its river bulletin says
that rain will check the falling tend
'ency OF the river. There was rain all
through the valley last night and to-
day. However, there seems to be lit
tie alarm felt among the people in the
flooded district that there will be
much greater rise in the river unless
there have been cloudbursts UP the
river
The Mississippi continues to rise,
and this morning at 7 O'Clock was with
in two tenths of foot of flood stage.
1t was expected to reach flood stage
during the day. The river bulletin for
the river north of Keokuk forecast a
gradual rise in the water. A rise In
the river south of Keokuk was also
predicted. The rains which fell today
in the Mississippi valley will not help
the situation to any great extent
A. report reached Keokuk that the
levee in the Hunt drainage district
below Warsaw had been broken. Com
munication was established with one
OF the commissioners of the Hunt dis
trict, Mr. Fry, of Warsaw, who denied
that anything of the sort had happen
ed. He said that there had been
seepage which had not been stopped,
but that the levee itself was holding
well. If the water rises any more,
however. the commissioners. expect to
put guards on the levee. With a high
er stage of water there Is danger Of
the levee breaking, it was said.

A MOTHERS VISION.

A MOTHERS VISION.
Sitting alone in the flrellsht. Win
aged head bent low
Over some little garments that were
worn in the long ago,
A woman. old and faded, was dream
ing OF other years;
And the faces of absent loved ones
she saw through a mist OF tears.
All was silent; no echo Of footsteps
swift and gay;
The dancing feet Of her children had
wandered far away.
Busy and happy and thoughuess, they
were scattered far and wide;
All grown to be men and women
SAFE the little boy who died.
1t was strange that of all the children.
he should feel tonight so near.
His little grave had been covered by
the SHOWS of many year;
Yet she fancied she saw him enter !;
that she saw him standing
there,
His blue eyes clear and smiling, the
light on his curling hair.
And voice spoke from the silence,
saying, This for you | kept;
But my meaning you could not fathom
when for your child you wept
The living have left your hearthstone,
but with you shall he abide
In the beauty of deathless childhood
your little boy who died

WHEN YOU WASH YOUR
HAIR DON'T USE SOAP

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is
very injurious, as it dries the scalp
and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsihed cocoanut oil, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats soaps or anything
else all to- pieces. You can get this at
any drug store, and few ounces will
last the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about teaSpoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, 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, it loosens and takes
out every particle of dust, dirt aud
dandruff.

Important German Victory.

Important German Victory.
United Press Leased Wire Service.l
BERLIN, June 4.-East and north
east of Przemysl, the Austro-Germar1s
have advanced their lines along a
wide front, the war office announced
today
The capture of HODGE is the most
important German victory along the
Franco-Flanders battle front since the
drive against the allies positions
north of Ypres several weeks ago.
The village lies about three miles
east Of Ypres on the Menin road and
constitutes one of the outer defenses
Of Ypres. It's capture increases the
probability that the British may be
driven out Of .Ypres.
HODGE was the scene Of the historic
battle last October when Sir Douglas
Haig, with q comparatively small
force of British troops, scored a
smashing victory over the Germans
and blocked the dash toward Calais.
Since last fall the village and the for
titled chateau have remained In the
hands of the British.
With HODGE held by the Germans,
the British positions at Ypres already
1mperilled by fierce German attacks.
may become entirely untenable. If
the British evacuate Ypras, they al
most certainly will be forced to fall
back five miles upon Poperingz and
reform their entire front.
