TWO BECKER
COUNTY CASES
ARGUED
Before Judge Nye Yester-
day by Detroit and Min
I1eapolis Attorneys

Judge c. A. Nye heard arguments
on motions in two Becker county
cases yesterday. Fred Dennis Of De-
troit, appeared for Mrs. Della Davis
who seeks to secure a private cart
way across land belonging to John
Hass to a piece Of property which she
purchased from o. J. deLendrecie of
Fargo. P. F. Schroeder Of Detroit rep
resented Mr.. Hass at the hearing.
In the other case an interesting
question 10 involved. 1t appears that
several tracts Of cut-over lands on
the White Earth reservation were
conveyed by warranty deeds although
questions involving the Indian titles
were still before the courts. When the
transfer was made blanket mortgage
was given for part Of the purchase
price. Yesterday the attorneys argued
the motion for an order restraining
the mortgage from forclosing this
mortgage on the ground that the title
to the land is defective.
The First National bank Of Detroit,
the mortgage, was represented at the
hearing by Fred Dennis, and the Con-
solidated Investment Co. Of Minnea-
polls, the mortgagor, by r. !. Powell
and Gordon Kane. Minneapolis attor-
neys.

Alkali in Soap
Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully,
II you want to keep your hair looking
its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle. and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is Just
ordinary mulsified 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 1t leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and
few ounces will supply every member
of the family for months. s.....-.a

HAWLEY ROAD
Would Avoid Death Trap
Crossing Under Track in
Hawley Village

Petitions are being circulated urg-
ing a change in the route of the state
road through Hawley village that will
cut out the dangerous under-track
crossing Of the Northern Pacific.
The petitions are addressed to the
commissioners Of Clay county, the
Northern Pacific railway, and the
village council of Hawley. Recon-
mendation is made that an over head
bridge be built over the Northern
Pacific connecting the east end Of
Main street with the state road on
the east side of the track.
This improvement is in every way
desirable and everyone who has occa-
sion to use the state road through
Hawley will join in urging the au-
thorities to make the change.
