There were some interesting
features in connection with the en-
rollment. The people who attended
the night school were mainly adults,
not adolescents. OF the $40 people
who enrolled, 43 were under FL years

There were 172 men and boys en-
rolled and 1853 girls and women. Thus
it is evident at once that the night
school is making an appeal to the
adult rather than the adolescent
mind"

Alkali in Soap
Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully, if
you want to keep your hair looking its
best. Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle,
and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is just
ordinary mulsifed cocoanut oil (Which
is pure and greaseless), and is better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub it
in. It makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out easily,
removing every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsifed cocoanut oil at
any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and few
ounces will supply every member of tho
family for months.

The Rock Island receivership has
been ended and the road has been re-

ing to press reports. Jacob M. Dick
inson was discharged as receiver. 1t
is likely that no change will be made
in the operation Of the Keokuk & Des
MOines railroad, which although leas-
ed by the Rock Island, Is run as a
separate enterprise. 1t is said the
stockholders prefer to run the line in
this way rather than pool the profits
with the entire system. The follow
ing dispatch from Chicago tells Of the
reorganization of the Rock Island:
CHICAGO, ILL.,, June 13.-The Rock
Island receivership has been ended
by Federal Judge Carpenter and the
railway ordered turned back into the
hands Of the security holders, under
plan of reorganization accepted by
the court Jacob M. Dickinson, who
has served since April, 1915 as receiv-
er for the road, was discharged.
When details Of the reorganization
decree had been agreed upon, Judge
Carpenter and the interests represent

from five shopcraft unions with a
membership Of 5000 men who want
an increase in wages They were
told that because OF the impending
transfer Of the railroad properties
they would have to wait for a settle
ment Of the wage question until the
new company takes charge. The men
made no mention of what action
would be taken IL the request should
be refused.
Mr.. Dickinson will turn over tho

ATTEMPT MADE
TO ROB BANK
Eighteen Year Old Youth Walked In
to Alexandria Banking House
and Demanded $500

CASHIER BLUFFED HIM

An attempt was made yesterday at
ternoon about two o'clock to rob the
bank at Alexandria, Mo. The would
be robber was a young man eighteen
years old, who had been working near
Lima, Ill. He walked into me bank
and demanded $500, and backed up his
demands with small revolver. Cash
Ter Spangler Of the bank STALLED" him
off for a minute while he went out OF
the rear door. AS soon as the would
be bandit saw him CO.. he made his
getaway to the river front, and took
skiff to Warsaw. He was captured
later in the afternoon at Warsaw.
The man gave him name as Orval
Young, after letters and papers estab-
fishing his identity had been found on
his clothes. He said he had been
working on farm near Lima, H.,
for a man named Harness. He first
said he had been locked up by gang
of men, who demanded that he rob
the bank.
Young entered the bank and walk
ed to the cashiers desk. Mr.. Spang-
Ter talked to him minute to gain
time, and then dashed out of the door,
in the effort to give the alarm. When
Young saw him go, he ran out the
front door, for the river front and
was seen to enter a skiff and row
across the river. Warsaw people
were notified and Young was picked
up by w. F. Gibbons of Warsaw, who
held him until the officers took him in
charge. Young is now in Jail in ka-
hoka.
