And not have very good taste;
1t may be the thoughts that like to think.
Are often concluded in haste;
Be that as it may, | now wish to say
And hope you will get me Alright
That whatever do, just between me and you
Will be out in the broad open light.
I'm not of the kind, one so often finds.
Who, in order their tastes to appease
Will palaver and smile, all conscious the while.
It's only the talents that please;
but as for the rest he'd ne'er be guest,
If it were not he might entertain;
But lot it reverse, and they are the first
Who fail to respond for his gain.
And so seems to me, and think you II agree.
When l say with all kindness Of thought
It's better by far to be what you are
Than to try to be something you re not.

BIOGRAPHICAL KNOWLEDGE
 OF VALUE TO NATIONS
Lack of It Has Cost Millions of Dol
 lars in Treaty Making.

London, May Slack of geographi- cal knowledge has cost the nations of the world millions of dollars in treaty making, declared Sir Thomas Holdich, the British army's greatest geographi- cal authority, in lecture before the Royal Geographical Society on Prob Iems in Boundary Making.
 Lack of exact knowledge" he said, "is the first rock on which boundary treaties split. Where maps did not exist, and where it was out of the question to wait for them to be made, peatedly into adopting the worst of expedients, the straight line.
 The disadvantages of the straight line have been illustrated in several instances lately, notably in boundary disputes in Central and Southern Af- rica. In one case an awkward inter national complication arose when it was found that a wide tract of valua- bIe land had been enormously assign ferred to Belgium. Then there was the adoption of a definite meridian which crossed the Kalahari Desert, the eastern limit of German South west Africa. The entailed years of scientific labor, costing a sum equal to the value of thousands of square miles of useful map-making, to find out where the meridian really lay.
 Absurd incidents arose over the delimitation of the boundary between the United States and Canada. One of the main difficulties arose as to what was meant in the treaty by a main channel Between Vancouver and the mainland there is an archi- pelago, and among them at least three

Hair Often Ruined
 By Washing With Soap

Soap should be used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair looking it's best. Most soaps and prepared sI2ampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle and ruins it.
 The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsif1ed cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than the most expensive soap or any thing else you can use.
 One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy Iather, 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 mulsified cocoanIt oil at any pharmacy. it's very cheap, and a few ounces will supply every mem Der of the family for months.

Personal Prattle s g. s:s. !. s s..:

How Commission Government Works.
For the purpose of comparison of
the commission form of government
with that of the ward-councilmanic
system, North Yakima affords the
best with which to compare Aberdeen.
The population of North Yakima is
Slightly greater than that of this
city, the difference at the census of
1910 being 442 in favor of the form
er city, hence the experience of that
city may be taken as fair guide to
the voters of this city in the coming
election.
North Yakima has operated under
the Allen law for four and one-third
years and its people have no desire
to return to the Anticipated plan they
were wise enough to discard The
Yakima Morning Herald of January
%, 1916, expresses the sentiment OF
that city as follows:
North Yakima adopted the CON-
mission form of government Sept. is,
1911. On Sept. 10, 1917, if it wants
to it can revert to the old council
form or advance to the latest wrink-
lie in municipal government, the city
manager. But until Sept. IS, of next
year, it must stay put under the pres
ent governmental form. 1t can re-
coll tho oor, M; 6 ;ouorc b,,+ ,o4 +1,o
commission.
'Not that North Yakima has any
desire to do either. 1t is altogether
pleased with the commission form
and apparently we'll satisfied with it's
commissioners. At the end of six
years, the statute provides that a
change may be made, if the people so
desire, by a special election, called
upon a petition of rs per cent of the
electors of the city.
ut is safe to say that no such elec-
ton will be called next year. While
there Is much to commend in the city
manager idea, especially in the case
of the larger cities, the plan of three
commissioners for second class cit
les, where the commissioners are hon.
est and work together in harmony,
has, where tried, proved sufficiently
satisfactory to warrant no desire. for
a change"
Under date of Jan. 25, 1916, Will
bur Crocker, commissioner of finance
of North Yakima, informed the writ
err of these columns that since the
adoption of the commission form in
that city the tax levy had been re-
duced each year, and that the indebt-
edness has been regularly met and
bonds paid off. That the city had
been on cash basis since March,
1913, and expected to maintain that
standard That the tax for the COM
ing year is less than that of last year,
Notwithstanding the loss of saloon Ii
cense revenue.
Mr.. Croker concludes his letter
with the following statement: II be-
lieve that If you adopt the commits
sion form of government and select
a commission of business men you
will never regret the change"
centraIia Likes It Also.
The city clerk of Centralia writes
