Today-"The Price of Silence, . featuring William Farnum, will be found not only an entertaining film production, but 9 strong propaganda
 against child labor as well. The scenes which depict the pitiful condi- tions in factory town where young boys and girls are ground down by overbearing taskmakers are among the most striking of very dramatic film. The story is produced with great solidity. the skilful use of ex- cellent character types in small parts being one of the most commendable features. Moreover, the mob scenes are produced just as carefully as the bits in which only the principals ap- pear Attention to detail and lavish

Cocoanut Oil Fine
 For Washing Hair

l 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 grease less), is much better than the most ex- pensive soap or anything else you 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 scalD 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 mulsi6ed cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family for months.

An evangelistic campaign will be- gin at the First Christian church, March IS and continue till Easter. For some time the pastor and mem bers of the church have been prepar- ing for this campaign.

EFFORT TO GET PAY 0f
 POLICE RAISED
Business Men Will Urge That Council Comply With
 Petition of Taxpayers.

That another effort is to be made by business men of the city, to pre- vail upon the members of the city council to increase the salaries of the members of the police department, was indicated by several local busi- ness men yesterday, and it was under stood that the matter will be brought before the council at it's meeting on Monday, April 2.
 Some weeks ago, a petition was presented to the council, signed by virtually all the business men in the downtown section of the city, an1 asking that the council increase tho salaries of the policemen. The pe- tition was prented by Judge w. D.. Jones, who made an impressive talk on the matter, and who urged that the policemen be given the increase, not only because of the long hours of labor, in all kinds of weather, but also because their present salaries are not large enough for them to meet the steadily increasing cost of liv- ing. Because of the city's financial condition, the petition was received and filed, no action being taken
 It is now proposed that in view of improved conditions, and especially because of the general belief that a more strict enforcement of many minor city ordinances now generally overlooked and violated, the city will have an increased income, in the bene- fits of which the police should share at the earliest opportunity, hence the intention to bring the matter again before the council and press it fol action.
