President NJ. C. Kennedy, of
Cumberland Valley, In
forms Fair Committee

No excursions will be run on the
Cumberland Valley railroad to coun-
ty fairs. This decision was reached
some time ago. Recently q commit
tee from the Hagerstown Fair Asso-
citation called on President NJ. C,
kennedy with view to getting spe-
cial train accommodations. There
was nothing doing. The Hagerstown
Mail says:
The seriousness of the present
crisis said President Kennedy, of the
cumberland Valley, to delegation
from our Fair, is only half appreciat-
ed by our people. This war is a long
way from won yet and the sacrifices
that our people must make before il
is, are not realized. 1t is time to
awake. 1t may mean every dollar and
every hour, but we must give it.
Lack Appreciation
Every day we read war telegrams
and yet we do not appreciate the en-
ormity of the war work that is done
in this country or the vastness of the
struggle that is before us and the
roars of which are now beginning to

contest. The Central Powers have
vast resources yet. This land will
have to win. even If 1t has to pledge
every man, every home and every
dollar in it. There is nothing before
us but victory.
1.-THE delegation admitted that the
seriousness of the hour was barely
beginning to dawn upon the people
and they would not ask the Cumber-
land Valley for a single minute that
would delay or retard the end. They
only wanted to know what the road
would do IL 1t could.
Promise Nothing
"Mr. Kennedy said: This road can
promise nothing. We have cut off all
excursions and Fairs. We have even
suspended all projected improve
ments and this road is only keeping
up with necessary repairs. AS to the
Fair, feel that as 1t Is
an agricultural association, 1t is val
liable. We will promise nothing. but
when the time comes we will do what
we can. Let me again impress upon
you and upon your people. the need
for serious consideration of the
present crisis"

Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

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 alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and is very harmful. Just
plain mulsified cocoanut oil (Which
is pure and entirely greaseless), is
much better than the most expeu-
sive soap or anything else you can
use for shampooing, as this can't
possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abund-
ance of rich, creamy lather, and
cleanses the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The lather rinses out cas-
lily and removes every particle of
dust, dirt, Ndandruff and excessive
oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and it leaves it fine and
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut
oil at most any drug store. 1t is
very cheap, and a few ounces is
enough to last everyone in the fam
lily for months.

because it took down two trees
which were right in the line OF pro
posed improvements in the state
domain.
Superintendent Shreiner and his
engineers had been puzzling about
the tree at Third and Locust streets
and also about one near state street
steps and the storm saved them the
trouble. Both trees are down.
The engineers are rapidly push
ing work on the lines for the new
walks and proving up the properties
and everything will be ready for
Arnold W. Brunner when he comes
here later in the month to take up
actively the preparations to park the
district and improve the old park.
Mr.. Shreiner said to-day that ar
rangements had been made whereby
the Mt. Vernon Truck Company
would vacate its property when the
wrecking crew reaches that section
of the park. The company will move
on forty eight hours notice.
To Meet Friday-The monthly
meeting of the State Forestry Com
mission will be held Friday at the de-
partment.
Paying or Debt-Arrangement
are being made for the payment Of
S325,000 by the State to satisfy
mortgages on the ten State normal
schools to which the Commonwealth
has taken title in the last few years,
The total debt is about $7O0,00O and
the Legislature appropriated enough
money to get rid of half of it. The
State had substantial equity in the
properties before assuming control.
There are three schools which are
not wholly owned by the State, but
some of them may be taken over
before long.
To Ask New Bids-It is probable
that the State Highway Department
will reject some of the bids received
during August for construction of
highways and that some of those re-
ceived yesterday may also be set
aside and bids asked again. The re-
advertisements have resulted in the
offers made for the work being re-
duced in most cases.

"THE BOND BETWEEN"

How valuable paintings are snug
gled into this country under the guise
Of cheap prints is graphically exposed
in the Pallas-Paramount production of
"The Bond Between" in which that
sterling actor, George Beban will be
seen at the Washington on Tuesday.
Mr.. Beban is the author of the story
as well as the star Of the production,
and obtained his knowledge of this
method of smuggling from friend of
his in the New York custom house. An
art dealer in Europe purchased val
liable painting and wishing to pass it
into America free of duty, covered the
surface of the painting with some pre-
paration and then painted mediocre
sketch in water color on this white
surface; then waiting for some Amer
lean art student to return home en-
trusted the picture to his care with
the request that it be delivered to his
friend in New York; the custom Of
ficials would casually glance at the
picture, which was supposedly the
work of the art student, and it would
be passed safely through and delivered
to his friend, ar-srt dealer, who would
remove the white surface and water
color, leaving the rich painting in all
its beauty.
