TELLS HER SAD STORY
Unfortunate Woman Gives Details of
Life After Betrayal.

The police arrested Earl Perry late
Wednesday afternoon and are holding
him for investigation. Suspicious
were aroused because Perry remained
in the Union Pacific station with his
2-year-old son, Elmer. from midnight
Tuesday until Wednesday afternoon.
Investigation has revealed that
Perry and his alleged common law wife
Mary Levett, had quarreled and she
had returned to her fathers home at
1906 Monroe street and refused to live
with him longer. He demanded their
child and she finally consented to the
separation. Perry was in financial
troubles and used the station as a no.
tel while waiting for a train to Law
renee. IS
The mother was visited by welfare
workers late Wednesday. She told of
meeting Perry three years ago when
she worked as hired girl on a farm
and he as hired man. She had been
betrayed by a city man and was in
trouble. He offered TO care for her
and marry her when he had sufficient
money. But he never had the money,
she told welfare workers

AIkali Makes Soap
Bad for Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
injurious, as 1T dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
muIsified cocoanut oil, for this is pure
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 few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonfu1 Is
all that is required. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly. and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking,
bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to
handle. Besides, it loosens and takes
out every particle of dust, dirt and
dandruff.-Ady

money judiciously SO that it will cor.
tribute to increased value of his land
and its increased producing power.
Heretofore farmers have not been
able to borrow for long periods. This
discouraged investment in live stocK
and for many other purposes because
the returns are slow. Short term loans
made a speculator out of a farmer.
So the Farm Loan act in addition
to providing a way for the farmer to
borrow to the limit of safety, induces
him to put his borrowed money to
productive uses and provides g. way
for him to get out of debt from the
profits of the investment.
Thus the Farm Loan act places
within reach of the farmer the means
to help himself and stimulates his
business initiative. The long time loan
with its small annual payments puts
a quietus on the terror of mortgage
foreclosure.
(Tomorrow's installment will ex-
plain the character of investments
provided under the Farm Loan act.)

Washington, JAM 18.-One of the

ers is that it compefs them gradually
to retire their Indebtedness thru a long
or short period of years.
This process is called amortization.
Under it the interest and principal are
paid off in equal annual or semi-an
nual installments turnout the period
of the loan so that at the end of the
term of the mortgage the borrower is
out of debt.
All loans under the Farm Loan Act
are made under the amortization or
inStallment plan. Since the borrower
begins paying off his debt the first
year after he gets it, and because a
long time loan is best suited to farm
ers, borrowers under this act are per-
mitted to execute mortgages to run
from five to forty years at their OPP
ton.

Permission is given to pay all of the

years, because the money which they
have borrowed has been procured by
