Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your 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
mulsifed cocOanut oil, ior it 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 any drug store,
and few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub IL in. about a teaspoonful Is
all that is required. Il makes an sbun-
dance of rich. creamy leather,
cleanses thoroughly. and rinses out
easily The hair dries quickly and
evenly. and is soft. fresh looking,
bright, fuzzy, wavy and easy to handle.
Besides. It loosens and takes out
every particle of dust, dirt and dan
druff.

From the Clayton News.
Now that the Clayton water plant
and sanitary sewerage system are
about ready for service, the Clayton
Board Of Trade should call our citi-
zens together and an effort made to
induce one or two industrial plants to
locate in Clayton. That small and
diversified industries are essential
factors in the upbuilding OF commun-
tiles is attested most certainly wher-
ever such industries have been estab-
lished Fortunate is the community
which has a number OF small indus
tries employing from ten to fifty men
or women. Diversified industry as
we'll as diversified farming Is essen
tial to the welfare Of every commun-
ity. Every town has Its advantages
and should make the most of them
Each town is fitted for some enter
prise more than another, and as soon
as II discovers what that is IL should
take up the matter and make an effort
TO secure such enterprise. In some OF
our exchanges it is noticed that In a
number of towns in Delaware the cit
isens have come TO the conclusion that
such a movement must be started il
their town is to grow. This awaken
ing obviously shows that the people
are becoming aggressive, and that to
keep abreast with the times a united
effort OF all the people must be made
The progressive people are awake to
the fact that they must hustle OF
allow others to push ahead

face Of the fact that MARYLAND will
cast its electoral vote for President

that Lewis lost votes il his own party

60 miles an hour, tore by them and
raised such cloud of dust that they
could not see to proceed. The Thomp-
son machine hung on the edge Of a
ditch a few feet deep, and young Rob
inson, becoming frightened, it is sup
posed, jumped and in some way was
thrown against the windshield and
badly cut on the face and shoulders.
The car did not 90 into the ditch, out
remained hanging on the edge, and
Mr.. Thompson, who stayed in it, was
mhurt.
DR.. w. w. Stiles was called and at
tended young Robinson and later Dr.
+. T. Brown, eye specialist, was sum
moned by automobile from Burlington.
An operation was performed, and the
boy was removed to the hospital at Bur
hngton. There is little hope of saving
the boy 5 eye.
