forcibly presented to a military OBJ
server who has just returned from
trip along the Russian front.
Il was astonished. he said, sto find
great numbers of Russian soldiers

Russia is getting all kinds of arms

WHEAT SPECTATORS BUSY
Shortage on Cars Brings Gambling on
Weather in Kansas.

SaHua, Kan. Aug. 16.-The specu-
lator in wheat has appeared in west
ern Kansas as q result of the short
age of cars for the transportation of
the grain to the markets. Many of the
elevators have stopped buying the
grain at any price because they stand
to meet with great loss in the event
of rainy weather, as they have thou
sands of bushels of grain piled on the
ground.
The spectators offers from 25 to IS
cents less a bushel than the marker
price and if cars can be secured in
few days, he stands to make fortune,
but with rainy weather his losses
would be heavier than his gains would
be otherwise
The spectators, it is said, have
more wheat on the ground than the
elevators. In most of the towns along
the Union Pacific railroad there are
from 10000 to 5000 bushels piled on
the ground and in some places more.

Alkali In Soap
Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully,
if you want to keep your hair looking
its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is just
ordinary muisified cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and greaseless), and is
better than the most expensive soap or
anything 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. 1t makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out easily.
removing every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff 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 cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy. it's very cheap, and
a few ounces will supply every mem
