PUBLISHERS ON
WAY TO CAPITAL
Will Seek Fair Treatment
Under Proposed War
Tax.

Chicago, May 11.-Many newspaper
publishers are now on the way to
| Washington to attempt to procure
fair treatment for their business un-
der the proposed war tax, it was an :
nounced last night by Hoyewell l.
Rogers, president of the American
Newspaper publishers association. Mr.
Rogers said the publishers would CO.
operate with e. H. Baker chairman OF
the legislation committee of the asso-
citation.
In connection with the proposed in
crease in postage, President Rogers
made the following statement:
1T is difficult to understand the pol
icy OF the government not only in the
unfair, If not illegal practice of dating
taxes back, but also in putting SO
great a tax on business in any form
and particularly in placing so heavy a
tax upon the newspaper business
which has probably been fmore Sc
verely affected in the last year through
increased prices than any other in
dustry. In time of war they suffC$
particularly, owing to the enormously
increased expenses due to the gath
ering of war news and the increased
circulation-for increased circulation
means increased expenses.
In the last year most of the news
papers in the country have been COM
PEELED to raise the subscription price
of their papers as we'll as their ad-
vertising rates, in an attempt to OBJ
tain earnings sufficient to carry on
their business. Newspapers in normal
times seldom increase their advertis-
ing rates fast enough to keep up with
the increased cost of increased circu-
lation and the last year has seen most
papers facing a severe financial cri-
sis
In spite of these facts the new rev.
enue bill proposes an increase in post
al rates, which ar particularly unfair
as to the first zones, a tax of 10 per
cent on print paper imported. and
understand, tax on advertising re-
ceipts-any one of which would alone
wipe out all the profits of most news
papers even in normal times and at
such times as this will continue to
cause the discontinuance of publica-
ton of many newspapers and force
out of employment many men special
ly trained for, this work and whose
value in other lines is comparatively
small. q
The newspapers fully realize the
seriousness of the present situation
and appreciate that they must bear
their share of the burden, but the pro-
visions of this proposed bill seem more
severe on newspapers than on any
other line of business and are to this
extent unjust and indefensible."

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
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 mulsif1ed 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. 1t 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
q few ounces will supply every member
Of the family for months. -.ss*

WHISTLES TO SOUND
and BELLS TO RING
Thursday Afternoon the People Will
Be Forcibly Reminded to
Buy a Liberty Bond.

| The liberty bond committee has
made arrangements to notify the
people of Webster City that only a
few hours are left in which to avail
themselves of the opportunity to in
vest in the $2,OO0,OOO,OOO issue of
liberty bonds. On Thursday after
noon at 3, 4, 5 and o'clock the fire
whistle will be sounded and the
church and school bells of the city
will be rung to remind the public
that the time for closing the sale is
near at-hand.
The banks Of the city will remain
open until s o'clock on Thursday ev-
ening to accept subscriptions.
The people of limited means have
done much better in buying bonds
than have those who are abundantly
able to make such investments, but
it is hoped and expected that all
classes will do their full share be-
fore the clock strikes the closing
hour for these bond sales.

Kings of England and Italy on Par
With Ex-Presidents.

Pittsburgh, June 12.-William
Howard Taft, speaking today at a
general meeting of the National
Conference of Charities and Correc-
ton, whose subject was "Interna-
tional Adjustment After the War;"
declared that the United States
would have to put billions of money
and millions of men into the strug-
gle.
This, he continued, would give
this country, when the nations were
gathered around the peace table, the
right to say, we demand a just
peace, and no peace can be just
peace unless it is lasting peace.
1.-THE kings Of England and Italy
do not exercise any more power in
their respective countries than does
former president of the United
States here. They reign; the people
rule" said Mr.. Taft.

yesterday. Messrs. Drake & McCol-
Tough took over the management of
this popular restaurant several

chef and service is excellent, and
Vfctrola music furnishes the aes-
thetic finish to the diners enjoy

AN APPEAL TO PEOPLE
OF HAMILTON COUNTY

ly Sinking their full responsibility.
Only three days left in which by
hard, conscientious effort you and
your organization can save the coun-
ty from stigma resulting from I'M
der-subscription. Prompt, energetic,
enthusiastic action is essential.
'WATKIN KNEATH,
Chairman Liberty Loan Distribu-
ton Committee for Iowa."
Ask your self these questions:
Can l afford not to buy liberty
loan bond? Can I afford not to do
my part in showing our government,
aur a"l1y, our navy abd our allies
that every person in the United
States is solidly supporting tLcn?
A bond in your hands is an oppor-
tunity to give life to your belief in
the right OF men and nations to lead
free and peaceful lives.
Armies Of dollars are an absolute
necessity; soldiers must be clothed.
fed, armed and transported. and 1t
takes money, MONEY to carry on the
gigantic undertaking.
The soldier who has enlisted from
our county has faith that the people
of this county will at least stand be-
hind him in his great sacrifice. That
you will at least stand behind him
in his great sacrifice. That you will
at least lend your dollars on the SAT-
est security in the world by buying
liberty bonds when he is offering
his life.
This is your war as we'll as his.
Do your duty by going to your bank
and buying bonds.
