"HOARY SUPERSTITION"
IS BASIS OF COURT RULE

William NJ. Reedy, editor of Reedy's
Mirror, makes this comment on the
United States Supreme courts deci-
sion (in the Hitchman- Mine Workers
case) that organized workers can be
enjoined if they solicit an employe TO
join their union when he has made an
agreement to the contrary:
The gravan.en of the new offense
is that it is an inducement to workers
to break free contracts. The law may
be all right, but that hoary supersti-
tion of the workingman's freedom of
contract should be cast into the limbo
of forgotten things. This new ruling
will put an end to picketing. It will
prevent union men from reasoning
with men who may have taken their
places on strike. The courts theory
is that picketing and propaganda are
designed more to hurt employers than
to help unionism. This is a very fine
distinction indeed. 1t gives the en-
ployer full swing in enforcing con-
tracts with employees forbidding them
from joining labor unions. We may
hear from this decision in uncomforta-
BILE fashion before we are out of the
war. From the .oint of view of the
newer economics lad sociology the de-
cision is distinctly and decidedly reac-
tionary."

GRAPE VINE
YARD STICK
Surveyors Who Laid Out Salem Had
no Rods and Used Natural
Articles.

Being poorly prepared for the
duties Of surveying, the early Quak-
ers in Iowa used long grapevine
for a measuring rod to lay out the
town of Salem. in Henry county. 1883.
Notches were cut in the grape
vine for the desired widths OF the
streets and alleys. The streets were
laid off at right angles to each other
and in the center Of town there was
left a space of about two acres Tor
q public square.
Salem means peace" one OF the
basic principles Of Quakerism. Isaac
Pidgeon, one of the founders of Sal.
en-, came from South Carolina. His
ox-team and heavy prairie schooner
were fifty-two days on the journey to
IlSusilviiie, Ill, Fidgeon's first long
stop. After himself exploring the new
Iowa country he returned to Rush
Vile, got his family and recrossed 20
Iowa. About the same time or short
ly afterward, Aaron Street from Sal
EN-, Ind, came to Iowa seeking to
stake out a claim. The two Quaker
pioneers met and laid the foundations
of QuakeriSm in Iowa.

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

If 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
1ess), 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
1ather, and cleansea the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily,
and removes every particle of dust, dirt
dandruff 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 mulsified cocoanut oil at
most any drug store. 1t is very cheap,
and a few ounces is enough to last
everyone in the family for mouths
