Alkali Makes Soap
Bad For Washing Hair

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
mulstfied cocoanut oil, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything 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 teaspoonful is
all that is required. II makes an
abundance Of rich, creamy lather,
eleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly mnd
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking,
bright, fluffy, Wavy and easy to
handle Besides, it loosens and takes

SPITE FENCE LEADS
TO CIVIL ACTION.
Mrs. I. l. Franklin Has Writ Served
on Mr.. and Mrs. Uzam Benner
Through NeighborIy Disagreement.

tNSI9hSSiiy StSaSlSChHS
On Monday Deputy Sheriff George F.
Holbrook served writ in a civil action
on Mr. and Mrs. Uzam Benner in favor
OF Mrs. Ida L. Franklin and levied on
the Benner property in the sum of
$1,000. The papers in the case ask
that high board fence erected on or
near the boundary line between the
Benner and Franklin properties be re-
moved.
The Benner property fronts on
South Main street and runs east to
the Franklin property, which fronts on
Chapman street. There have been
causes of friction between the parties
in the action for g period of years
over different matters pertaining to the
properties, the common council at one
time being asked to suppress the
cackling, in the early morning, Of
poultry kept on the Benner property.
The fence complained Of is approxi-
mately eight to ten feet in height and
has been erected for months. It is
claimed by the plaintiff that the fence
is unsightIy, that 1t shuts off sunlight
from certain rooms in the Franklin
home, obstruets the view and is in
other ways undesirable
There has been erected on the Frank
lin property. on a pole a dozen feet

form OF bond as a particularly advan-
tageous one. and a form likely to be
readily marketable, since the variety
in maturity meets the varied require
ments of institutions and individuals
who are generally in the market for
issues of this kind.
Your committee recommend that the
town of Killingly issue 4 IA per cent
bonds for $4,000, maturing So, 900 each
year, for the next twenty-five years,
and in order to meet these bonds at
maturity, the town levy a tax of ga
this tax to pay up the bonds as they
mature. In this way the town will
gradually pay its indebtedness and
thereby improve it's financial standing
Your COMMITTEES are advised that
5000 would probably cover the total
cost of preparing and furnishing the
bonds with coupons attached, the
preparation of all votes and legal doc
uments, the certifcation of the bonds
by a trust company, and tse services
of the lawyers.

ALL HONOR TO THE PEANUT
That Lowly Vegetable Has at Times
Aided Armies to Fight Great
Battles.

About the lowly ''goober," or peanut,
of commerce considerable romance is
woven. Incidentally, it might be stated,
516,654 acres were planted to peanuts
in 1899 in the United States and &c.,
SS7 acres in 1909, an increase of 68.4
per cent in ten years. The yield in
1899 was 1864, 100 bushels; in 1909
19.415,816 bushels. The value of the
1899 crop was $7,27O,515; in 1909 it
was $19,271 1929. This year the pro-
ductiOn is even larger than in 1909.
1t is a matter of American history
that Marion's men sustained life and
fought the British on a diet of baked
potatoes plucked from the Carolina
fields in the stirring years that fol-
lowed 1776 1t is likewise a matter of
record that Yankee and Southern alike
raided the "goober" fields of sunny
Virginia, Georgia or Alabama, as the
case might be, in the war between
the states when chickens, pigs or
greener garden sass" was not avail
able. We should not be surprised,
even, if Lees great thrust into Cham
bersburg and Gettysburg was not ma
terially aided by the valuable field pea
we call the peanut.

Bulbs EXude Poison Gas.

A vessel with a cargo of nothing but
bulbs from Holland was recently I'M
loaded at Hoboken. About two years
ago two stevedores died as result Of
unloading such vessel. They were
asphyxiated by the carbonic acid gas
generated by the bulbs in the hold.
That led to the building of lattice
work pillars reaching from the floor
of the hold to the deck, these acting
as ventilators. A British doctor writ
ing in the Lancet tells of an expert
ence of his in trying to resuscitate two
Cinnamon who had gone down into
the hold of a vessel laden with
oranges, garlic, soy beans, sugar and
cooked rice, and says the respiration
of the oranges and garlic in the abb
sence of ventilation had replaced the
oxygen with carbon dioxide.

r Having demonstrated his

per year. Having demonstrated his
ability as an organizer and fnancier,
good preacher and safe leader, he was

he received a salary of $3.50 per year.
While pastoring at Holdings for five

Receives Call to Church at Pittsburgh.
From Virginia DR.. Patterson received
In 1900 the call of the Tabernacle Bap-
fist church at Pittsburgh, beginning
with salary Of $50 per month. Dur
ing his stay at the Tabernacle church
the Ebenezer Baptist church at Will
Transport, Pa, secured his services at
a salary Of $95 per month. He had
been at Ebenezer for three years when
a crisis came In the work Of the Bap-
lists Of Pennsylvania which threaten
ed the existence Of many Of the
churches. The honor Of the denomina-
ton was at stake. The Rev. Mr.. Pat.
terson, who was secretary Of the state
convention, was considered the best in
formed person to act as field secretary
for the state convention. He served in
this position for one year, when he
was again called to the Tabernacle
church in Pittsburgh, which under his
second administration became known
as the Cosmopolitan Tabernacle Bap-
fist church.
During the seven years Of his second
passionate Of the above named church
DR.. Patterson did a magnificent work.
The former church property was sold
to good advantage and another bought,
which is now valued at $4,000. He
has been highly successful at all the
churches which he has pastored, and
It Is worthy Of note that at each
church improvements in the property
were made, besides building church
edif1ce at Spr1ngwood, Va.
Dr. Patterson has a wife and four
children to grace his home. Mrs. Pat
terson is woman Of splendid talent.
She loves music and is often heard as
a soloist. Miss G. B. Patterson, their
daughter, is also fond Of music and
plays the piano and organ. She is a
graduate of the high school at Pitts
burgh.

teacher was the chaplain. The lesson,
he said, was about the adverb. "What

"Can you give me definition?" said
the chaplain.
"No, SIR"
"Can you give me an example of an
adverb?"
Eyes, sir" came the response:

lain addressed a sentry and inquired
who was corporal of the guard. And

Mississippi Institution Begins Term
With Large Enrolment.
The Utica Normal and Industrial
school at Utica, Miss, begins its 1916
IL school year with large enrolment.
Principal William II. Holtzclaw has
been busily engaged the past summer
in an effort to raise funds with which
to install larger and better plant for
heating and lighting purposes. He has
been quite successful in personally
raising much Of the amount necessary
to cover the cost of the new equipment.
Mr. Holtzclaw is doing splendid
work Of education among the colored
people Of the section in which the in
stitution is located. About $4,000 will
enable the principal to complete pay
ment on the heating plant. The school
appeals to the friends Of education
who are able to contribute the amount
needed for the above purpose SO that
the principal may be relieved Of some
Of the financial burden and thus devote
more Of his time to other matters Of
school management.
