Every Woman's Age.

TUnited Press Leased Wire Service
NEW YORK, June 15.-The real
age of every woman in New York
state will soon be matter of pub
lie record. But e. P. Goodrich, di.
rector Of the census, says the women
are running to distant points to fill
out their state military census blanks
in an effort to conceal their age from
neighbors.
Goodrich claims this unwillingness
of the women to let the neighbors
know their age has upset the states
plans for registration.

Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in good
condition, be careful what you wash it
with
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much a1lxali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very
harmful: Just plain mulsified cocoanut
oil (Which is pure and entirely grease
less), is much better than the most ex-
pensive soap or anything else you can
use Tor shampooing, as this can't pos
siblly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls
WI make an abundance of rich, creamy
iia5ther, and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily,
and removes every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
ores quickly and evenly, and it leaves
i fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at
most any drug store. It is very cheap,
and a few ounces is enough to last
everyone in tho family for months.

KEOKUK K|DD|ES
IN LIBERTY LOAN
Many Youngsters In This City Have
Bonds Bought by Their Parents
or With Their Own
Savings.
PURCHASE THEIR OWN
IL Was Proud Moment in Their Lives
When Their Had Given Their
Orders and Put Down
Money.
PURCHASE THEIR OWN

Had some Of the grownup Keokux'
ians done their bit in the same pro-
portion as two little patriots did, this
city would have been on the map as
oyersubscribing to the Liberty loan.
While there were some big subscrip-
tions made here, and while most OF
the bonds purchased by banks were
taken up, Keokuk was below the ap.
Jortionment allotted for these bonds.
There are a number of children In
this city who are possessors OF LID.
erty bonds today The majority of
these have come into possession
through purchases made by their pa
rents. Some of them have small
savings accounts which have been
transferred for Liberty bonds. But
there are at least two who have pur-
chased their own bonds.
One Of these is a little boy, who is
working in one of the factories here.
He has been carefully saving his
spare cash, and has savings deposit
in one of the banks. Just recently
he was bordering the question as to
whether he would ever get hundred
dollars to his credit. Yesterday he
presented his book at the bank, and
asked for fifty dollar bond.
This morning little girl walked
in to another bank and asked for a
bond of the $50 denomination. Her
savings were the result of hard work
on Saturdays and in vacation time.
She smiled proudly when the man
at the window told her the bond
would be here soon.
There are any number of fifties
which have been taken out for chill
dren, bank officials say. In many in
stances the bonds have been pur-
chased outright by parents, while in
other cases the purchases have been
made through the parents, but with
the child's own savings.

Of WILDER BRANCH|PLANT FOR NANPA|
NOT YET ASSURED THE COMING YEAR,
Success of Plan Depends on
the Sale Of $40, 900 Worth
of Bonds in the Wilder
Community.

Caldwell, Nov. 15.AThe electrifica-
ton of the Wilder branch Of the Cald-
well Traction company's line appears
to have again reverted to the prob
lematic stage, Notwithstanding that 1t
was very generally thought last week
that the consummation of the proposed
Improvement of the road was assured.
AS means of effecting the electri-
fication of the road and it's continued
operation, the citizens of the city sub
scribed approximately $4,000 as a
loan to w. r. Sebree, the president of
the road, to finance the improvement.
but another condition upon which the
improvement IS dependent is the pur-
chase of bonds by an additional $40. 900
by the citizens of the Wilder commun-
ity, from the proceeds of which Presi-
dent Sebree proposes to pay the loan
of the citizens of this city when it be-
comes due and the cost of supplies in
cident to the Identification of the road
upon which he is to be allowed a year
for payment.
As yet no action has been taken by
the citizens of the Wilder community
for the purchase Of these bonds. and
upon their course 1t is said depends
whether or not the road will be electri-
fled. In the event that the plans for
the identification of the road are not
completed, 1t is believed that the lease
of the road from the Oregon Short
Line will be cancelled and its opera
lions discontinued.
