The Levy es-Democrat very
sensibly says: eff we in this country
were as resourceful as they are in
Germany not much of the material
around the saw mills would go to
waste or be burned in the slab pits.
1t is pity for this country that our
people cannot begin to see things in
time. 1t would mean great things
in time. 1t would mean great things
for the future generations.

It's the Stars OPINION that the rail-
road managers want strike. And
some of the leaders among the en-
ployes also want a strike. But the
great public and the employees whose
families are dependent on their daily
wage do not want the break to come.

the story, is stunningly beautiful
woman who is living with Count Du
Poissy. Meanwhile Joen, the desert
ed daughter, has blossomed into
young womanhood and is in love with
an artist named Julian.
Valerie conceives the idea of hav-
ing Julian paint her portrait and
when he refuses because of her un-
savory reputation, she resorts u a
ruse to compel him to comply. Co
ing to his studio dressed in rags. she
tells story of dire poverty and OBJ
tains employment as a model. She
falls in love with Julian as his work
progresses, little suspecting that he
is engaged to her own daughter.
Angered at his failure to respond to
her advances, Valerie determines to
revenge herself upon him.
What then happens is too interest
ing and exciting to tell in advance.

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

l you want to keep your hair in good
condition, be careful what you wash it
with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very
harmful. Just plain mulsified cocoanut
oil (which is pure and entirely grease
1ess), is much better than the most ex-
pensive soap or anything else you can
use for shampooing, as this can't pos
sibly injure 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 c1eanses 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 mulsi6ed cocoanut oil at
most any drug store. 1t is very cheap,
and few ounces is enough to last
everyone in the family for months.

Des Moines, Ia, Nov. 8.-Carry-
Ing every congressional district In
the state, and possibly every one of
the SO counties, W. l.. Harding, re-
publican candidate for governor, was
elected by an overwhelming majority
Of votes, over E. T. Meredith, the
democratic nominee.
From the beginning of the first re-
turns, which came in a few moments
after the Z o'clock closing of the
polls. Harding took lead over Mere
dith which was held hour after hour
until it became certain that his final
majority when complete returns are
In, may run to 100000.
Harding carried such wet counties
as Scott and Crawford, and such dry
counties as Dallas, Page, Greene,
and Warren. He ran ahead Of
Hughes in all sections of the state.
One of the great surprises of the
election came in Polk county which
gave President Wilson majority
for a second term, The city of Des
Moines overturned all previous rec
ords and gave the democratic cleo
tors a 1000 lead over Hughes, but
Harding carried the city by $500
and the county by $500.
Webster county, where special
organization was formed early in the
campaign, and where it was said $50
republicans had pledged themselves
to vote for Mr.. Meredith, came into
the Harding camp early in the count
vIySfh 81, ,{k 80
1000.
The campaign, now ended was one
of the most strenuous, and at times
the most vitriolic of any ever carried
on in the history Of the state. In its
intensity and because the republic
can national committee considered
Iowa as a sure state, the presidential
contest was nearly lost sight of.
Early in the state fight, UNFOLDING
the declarations of it's candidate for
governor, the democratic party based
its whole fight on the so-called wet"
and "dry" issue. The republican
party and its candidate declared that
the saloon and liquor were not is
sues in the campaign, that the saloon
was gone from the state, and that it
never would return. Both parties
