DON'T LET SOAP
SPOIL YOUR HAIR

When you wash your hair, be
careful what you use. Most soaps
and prepared shampoos contain
too much alkali, which Is very in
furious, as 1t dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use Is Just
plain mulsified cocoanut Oil, for
this is pure and entirely grease
less. It's very cheap, and beats
the most expensive soaps or any
thing else all to pieces. You can
get this at any drug store, and a
few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub It in, about a tea
spoonful is all thart is required. It
makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, cleanses thorough
ly, and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and
Is soft, fresh looking, bright,
fluffy, wavy and easy to handle.
Besides, II loosens and takes out
every particle Of dust, dirt and
dandruff.

Il
He heard the growing of the COCK
And the barking Of the farmers dog,
And he felt the damp of the river fog
That rises after the sun goes down.
1t was one by the village clock,
When he galloped into Lexington.
He saw the gilded weather cock,
Swim in the moonlight as he passed,
And the meeting-house windows, blank and
bare,
Gaze at him with spectral glare,
AS If they already stood aghast
At the bloody work they would look upon.
1t was two by the village clock,
When he came to the bridge in Concord town
He heard the bleating of the flock,
And the twitter of birds among the trees,
And felt the breath of the morning breeze
Blowing over the meadows brown.
And one was safe and asleep in his bed
Who at the bridge would be first to fall,
Who that day ould be lying dead,
Pierced by British musket-ball
You know the rest. In the books you have
read
How the British regulars fired and fled;
How the farmers gave them ball for ball,
From behind each fence and farmyard-wall,
Chasing the red-coats down the lane
Then crossing the fields to emerge again
Under the trees at the turn Of the road,
And only pausing to fire and load.
So through the night rode Paul Revere:
And so through the night went his cry of
alarm
To every Middlesex village and FARM
cry OF defiance, and not of fear
voice In the darkness, knock at the door,
And word that shall echo for evermore.
For borne on the nght-wind of the Past,
Through all our history, to the last,
In the hour of darkness and peril and need,
The people will .waken and listen to hear
The hurrying footbeat of that steed,
And the midnight message of Paul Revere

Today is the one hundred and
fellows poem describing that famO
Listen, my children, and you shall hear
OF the midnight ride of Paul Revere.
On the eighteenth Of April, in Seventy-five,
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and year.
He said to his friend,-"I the British march
By land or sea from the town tonight,
Hang lantern aloft in the belfry-arch
OF the North church tower, as a signal light
One IL by land, and two IL by sea;
And on the opposite shore will be,
Ready to ride and spread the alarm
Through every Middlesex village and farm,
For the country-folk to be up and to arm
Then he said goodnight and with muffled oar
Silently row'd to the Charlestown shore
Just as the moon rose over the bay,
Where swinging wide at her moorings lay
The Somerset. British man-of-war:
phantom ship, with each mast and spar
Across the moon, like prison-bar,
And huge, black hulk, that was magnified
BY its own reflection in the tide.
Meanwhile his friend, through alley and street
Wanders and watches with eager ears,
Till In the silence around him he hears
The muster of men at the barrack-door,
The sound of arms, and the tramp of feet,
And the measured tread of the grenaders
Marching down to their boats on the shore.
Then he climb'd to the tower of the church,
UP the wooden stairs, with stealthy tread,
To the belfry-chamber overhead,
And startled the pigeons from their perch
On the SANDER rafters, that round him made
Masses and moving shapes of shade;
Up the light ladder, slender and tall,
To the highest window in the wall,
Where he paused to listen and look down
moment on the roofs of the quiet town,
And the moonlight flowing over all.
Beneath, in the churchyard, lay the dead,
in their night-encampment on the hill,
Wrapped in silence SO deep and still
That he could hear, like sentinel's tread,
The watchful night-wind, as 1t went
Creeping along from tent to tent,

is event of our early history:
And seeming to whisper, Cali is welli''
A moment only he feels the spell.
OF the place and hour, and the secret dread
or the lonely belfry and the dead;
For suddenly all his thoughts are bent
On shadowy something far away,
Where the river widens to meet the bay
A line of black that bends and floats
On the rising tide, like a bridge of boats
Meanwhile, impatient to mount and ride,
Booted and spurr'd, with a heavy stride,
On the opposite shore walk'd Paul Revere.
Now he patted his horses side,
Now gazed on the landscape far and near,
Then impetuous stamp'd the earth,
And turn'd and tightn'd his saddle-girth;
But mostly he watch'd with eager search
The belfry-tower of the Old North church,
AS it rose above the graves on the hill,
Lonely, and spectral, and somber. and still.
And, 10! as he looks, on the belfry's height,
glimmer and then a CLEAN of light!
He springs to the saddle, the bride he turns,
But fingers and gazes, till full on his sight
A second lamp in the belfry burns!
A hurry of hoofs in village street,
A shape in the moonlight bulk in the dark,
And beneath from the pebbles, in passing
spark
Struck out by steed that flies fearless and
fleet:
That was all! And yet, through the gloom
and the light
The fate of nation was riding that night;
And the spark struck out by that steed, in his
flight,
Kindled the land into flame with its heat.
He has left the village and mounted the steep,
And beneath him, tranquil and broad and
deep,
is the Mystic, meeting the ocean tides;
And under the alders that skirt its edge,
Now soft on the sand, now loud on the LEDGE
Is heard the tramp of his steed as he rides,
1t was twelve by the village clock,
When he crossed into Medford town.

About the earliest garden crops
are spinach, lettuce and radishes
These are cool weather vege-
tables and thrive best in early
spring and late summer, when the
suns rays are not SO hot.
While on this subject let
me suggest this summer,
when you have harvested the
other crops, you sow two or
three ounces of spinach seed
In that ground and so get a

means OF a voluntary waiver classifi-
cation and the automatic advancement
OF the registrant to class 1 and his
induction at once ino the military

panied, however, by waivers from those

ents will be adequately provided for,
IL there are minor dependents. A
waiver by minor can not be accepted.

History of State-Scenic Beauty
will Attract Tourist Travel.

Caldwell, Nov. 15.-The north and
south highway, connecting this part Of
the state with north Idaho will be
completed within the next 10 months
in the opinion of County Commission
er G. Ben Ross, of Roswell, who has
just returned from Lewiston, where
he spent last week, attending the
great livestock show and the Evergreen
Highway convention. Mr.. Ross is
highly enthusiastic over the certainty
of the north and south road, and is
impressed that it will prove one of
the greatest Accomplishments of the
state in its entire history.
In commenting today upon the Ever
green Highway convention and its i'm
port to the state, Mr.. Ross said: sit
was a great convention, and in my
with vast significance to the entire
state. Through the plans formulated,
the proposed Evergreen highway win
be constructed, and this means the
hope for north and south road, FOR
lsuch a road will constitute a part OF
the highway, and will form the needed
link to connect the south part OF
the state and the northern part. In
fact, / firmly believe that within 1S
months the north and south road which
has been advocated so long will have
been completed. The day which wit
nesses its connection will be a great
one for Idaho, for incline to the view
that it will be of more value to the
state than trunk line railroad.

REVISEDRULES
FOR DRAFT
EXPLAINED
More Liberal Provision For Men With
Dependents-Iocal Boards Given
Judiciary Power.

Washington, Nov. 17.-New reg
ulations under which the remaining
availables of the 100000 men regis
tered for military duty will be drafted
for service with the colors were an
nounced today by Provost Marshal
General Crowder. The new regulations
are coincident with the division Of ELI
gibles into five classes, and the circu-
lation of the official questionnaires
which have been discussed in previous
announcements.
As the new classifications make more
liberal provision for leaving men with
dependents on the classes to be called
last it is practically certain that every
man who had a legitimate exemption
on the ground of dependency under the
old regulation will get the same under
the new ones.
100000 in First Glass.
The first class, which embraces men
wholly without dependents, is expected
to bring In fully 100000 men, The
questionnaires, beginning December 10,
will be circulated among the regis
trants at the rate of per cent of each
local registration each day. Volunteer
medical and legal boards being organ
lied In each district will assist regis
trants in making out the forms and
supporting affidavits, which are very
complete.
Where registrants are away from
home districts or in other circum-
stances application to the local board
for QUESTIONABLE Is required.
The most noteworthy changes in the
regulations, outside OF the creation of
an emergency feet to permit ship
workers to remain at their jobs are as
follows:

judicial powers to summon witnesses
