Provost NJ arsh al General
Makes 1t Clear That Num-
bers Will Be Utilized

Washington, Oct. 27.---Provost Marsha
General Crowder was expected to present
to President Wilson for approval, pos
sibly yesterday, tentative outline OF
the arrangement to be used in dividing
the nations drafted men into five groups
for liability for military service. The
completed regulations probably will not
be announced for several weeks. The
provost marshal made it clear that the
serial numbers allotted to each registrant
will be used in determining the order in
which the men will come forward in each
class. However, the first division will
be exhausted before anyone is sum-
moned from succeeding groups. This
process will be followed throughout, so
it appears that those assigned to the
last class will have but little chance
of being called into service.

From this it is gathered that when
the Germans started the war by invad-

the German armies on the fighting fronts

Cocoanut Oil Fine
 For Washing Hair

I you want to keep your hair in good condition, be careful what you wash it with. .FaTo.
 Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain nulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and entirely grease 1ess), is much better than the most ex- pensive soap or anything else yeu can use for shampooing, as this can't pos- sibly injure the hair.
 Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy father, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The father rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust. dirt, dandruf 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. It is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family for months.

IN WAR TIMES OUR
 FOLK NEED MUSIC
Music Necessary to Maintain Good Spirits Among People in Time of
 Stress.

Col Edward Lyman Bill, late edi- tor of the Review, journal of the music trade, said:
 "Why is an army always accOmpan- /, jed by music?
 "Surely it is not alone for show and it is not there for the delight of the spectators, Or even to enable the sol diers to kep step. For the latter pur- pose drum or a word to mark time would do just as well as a band in full regimentals.
 "The band is employed because military men have learned by experi- ence that there is no better way to maintain the spirits of the men who are marching.
 Ut is no easy matter to be soldier Long marches and daring deeds are re- quired of them and if they were per- mitted to become discouraged or in- different no further dependence could be placed upon them.
 "When the band plays, however, these feelings vanish and the longest marches are made with comparatively slight fatigue when they are made to music.
 "I have been in some marches when the men were all worn out, but when the band started up some stirring marching tune. to see how every man would throw his head back and inject some life in his step was truly amaz- ing. Feelings of fatigue vanished and the longest marches were accomplish ed with ease."
 If music means so much for the morale of the men on the firing line, surely it can also do wonders to main tain vigorous spirits in the ranks of the great civilian armies that labor behind the men in the trenches.
 Let's have patriotic music in every home.

forts to secure the location of the new

southern half of the state and that
Rugby is centrally located in the
