WATER SYSTEM OK.
NO DANGER AT ALL

Several police detectives worked
yesterday afternoon and Hast
night in an investigation o of
sources of mysterious warnings
delivered yesterday to persons in
Tacoma that the dam Of the Green
river water system had gone out.
The police say that several clues
led them to q certain woman, who
called up numerous persons and
advised them to fill their bathtubs
with emergency supplies. They
have learned of no reason why
she should have circulated the re-
ports, however. The investiga-
ton Is continuing.

BE CAREFUL IN USING
SOAP ON YOUR HAIR

Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali,
which Is very injurious, as it dries
the scalp and makes the hair brit
tie.
The best thing to use is just
plain mulsified cocoanut oil, for
II is sure 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 IL in, about a tea
spoonful is all that is required.
1t makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, cleanses thorough
ly, and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and
Is soft. fresh looking, bright,
fluffy, wavy, and easy to handle.

Street Clearing

every main street artery into the
city open for pedestrian this
morning. So, in spite of the fact
that foot of snow had fallen,
and cars were not running, Taco
mans had fairly clean sidewalks
for their mornings walk to work.
Downtown streets presented an
odd sight today. The street rail
way plows and the street depart
ment plows have thrown up great
barriers of snow on either side of
the tracks and along the curbs. In
some places where snow has
been dropped from the roofs of
downtown buildings 1t has piled
up Is feet high In the streets.
Much of this surplus snow,
which has put downtown traffic
almost at standstill, will be
carted off tonight, it is expected.
Chief Clerk Metzger of the pub
lie works department estimated
today that the months snow has
already cost the city nearly
$4,000.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1916-02-03

An emergency appropriation of
$1,000 was made by the city
council today for clearing streets
of snow, with the understanding
that another $1,000 would be i'm
mediately forthcoming should it
be needed.
Commissioner Woods asked for
the money. He declared that his
department was swamped with
the work of clearing streets, and
that he could not hope to combat
the snow unless given extra AS
sistance.
A force of 100 men, armed with
shovels, will be put to work to-
morrow morning. All men want

Wood said, more men will be
added.

Americas national anthem,

ovation given the president here
last night.

danger of collapse the work of
clearing away the wreckage will
not be started until the building
is considered safe. The collapse
of the dome was caused by the
failure of one of the big steel
trusses supporting the roof.

The council today agreed to
pay half of 1915 estimate for
repairs to the Puyallup river
bulkhead at Mcmillan, which has
washed away. This bulkhead is
near the pipe line, and a flood
before the repairs are completed
would probably wreck the entire

I'm my Judgment CO-OPER-
ALTON more than any other fac
tor will determine to what eX-
tent this country takes advant-
age of its present great oppor-
tunity for development, internal
ly and abroad"
The man who makes this asser-
ton, w. II. Paulhamus, is re-
garded as the greatest cooper
alton expert IN the United States.
His remarkable success as Or
ganizer and manager of the Puy-
allup & Sumner Fruit Growers
Assn. would easily have hoisted
him into the millionaire class had
he not chosen to devote himself
entirely to community benefits.
To do this he has shunted aside
fabulous salary offers.
Why" he asks, permit steel,
railways and other big combines
to monopolize cooperation? Why
not carry out the same principles
in agriculture, horticulture and
other industries?
ut is not so difficult as 1t may
seem. Good followers are far
more important, and perhaps
more rare, than good leaders.
The stockholders of big corpora
tions have found that out"
Found u Genius
The astonishing success of the
Fruit Growers Assn, say It's
leading members, is due to the
fact that in Paulhamus they
found a managerial genius AND
THEN THEY LET HIM ALONE.
What cooperation has done for
the valley is indicated by the rise
in land values. Farms which were
worth 500 an acre when the as
ISOLATION began 10 years ago can
not now be bought for $1,000 an
acre. And this had been q Sec
ton of failures.
The blackberries of these farm
er-partners sell at $40 a ton, as
against $50 received in the fam
Gus Sebastopol section of Califor-
mia. And there berries sold for
only $35 until Paulhamus re-
Gently helped organize the grow
ers.
In the Willamette valley of
Oregon, where conditions are
practically the same as here, To-
ganberries sold this year at 2A
to " cents per pound, while the
Puyallup growers were paid 4
cents.
1--WE have a selling organiza-
ton In our favor" explained
Paulhamus. That's the secret
of profits for farmers, for produc-
ers.
Demand Exceeds Supply
Naturally such an organiza-
tion can get its products to mar
ket in better shape. We do. And
so heavy is the demand for our
berries and preserves that we
could only supply two-thirds Of
1t in 1915.
while others have been pro-
phesying good times to come and
telling vaguely how they might be
hurried, WE HAVE BEEN AC-
TUALLY MAKING GOOD TIMES
FOR OUR FARMERS HERE.
Whenever any additional pros
perity is represented in trade
channels WE GET THE ADDED
BENEFITS, not some fellow that
stands between us and the con-
sumner"

Every member of co-opera-
tive plan must be on an exact
equality" he declares. Every
grower member here has every
facility of our organization, no
matter how small his output. No
one Is permitted to hold more
than 10 shares of stock at 81 per
share, and no member has more
than one vote in our councils.
There must, however, be a
fixed managerial responsibility,
and when one general manager
proves inefficient, select another
one quick. The caliber of man.
ager Is extremely important, and
when one man has been found
who is efficient LET HIM
ALONE!"

PROGRESS MADE IN
 PREPARING DATAFOR IARMOR PLATE PLANT.
Directors Authorize Com mittee to Continue With Its Work-Shook and Rad
 cliffe Going to Nashville

At the meeting of the directors of the Chamber of Commerce held at the Tut wiler yesterday, President Bush reported on the progress which had been made in the preparation of the data on Bir- mngham's claim for the ar1nor plate plant, which the government proposed to establish. MT. Bush outlined to the directors the information which had been compiled by the special committee or which he was chairman. The directors authorized the committee to continue with it's work and to be prepared to sub init any additional information necessary as soon as the board was named which was to have charge of locating the plant.
 Paschal G. Shook and w. c. Radcliffe, general manager, were named as com mttee to go to Nashville this afternoon to confer with representatives Of that city, from Chattanooga and Memphis, re- garding plans for securing the establish ment of the government nitrate plant at Muscle Shoals. The conference will be held in Nashville tonight, and is at the invitation of the civic organizations of the several Tennessee cities.
 A letter from the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce denying the published reports that the Georgia metropolis had favored Evansville as the site for the government arnor plate plant was read with much pleasure by the members of the board of directors.
 President Bush reported that he had held conference with a committee of the Daughters of the American Revolu- tion and that they had asked the CO., operation of the chamber in holding a preparedness parade in the city on Flag Day. June If. The directors expressed their sympathy with such a movement, but it was the consensus of the meet ing that the time was too short for the proper preparation. It was suggested that the parade be postponed until the latter part of this month until July l.
 Robert Jemison, Jr., suggested that Bir- nningham make an active fight to secure the location of one fo the 12 farm loan banks which are to be established in the country under the provisions of the rural credits bill. It was stated that the southeast would probably land one of these banks and since Atlanta had the federal reserve bank, Birmingham should be chosen as the site for the rural credit institution. President Bush reported that he was already in communication with the government authorities in regard to this matter and the directors decided that every possible step be taken to land this institution.
