THE ONE PROPER DECISION.

There is nothing political in the es- tablishment of the farm loan system throughout the country. It is being done for the benefit of all farners 2 who may desire to take advantage of the opportunities for improving their farms, regardless of their party aff1lia- tions. so that there is every reason why the organization of the various banks should be perfected on non po- Iitica1 lines
 This is the policy which it has been indicated is to be followed and it is naturally the cause for qualification. Nothing could be done which would have created greater confidence than the selection of men to manage these institutions because they have the ability, for little in. the way of success could be expected unless those who are to be interested in this work have confidence in the officials who must conduct it. It needs to be nnade plain to them that everyone is going to be treated right regardless of his poli- tics.
 This does not mean of course that politicians will not or have not sought to be taken care of in the ill., ing of the nearly 200 places, but when the announcement is made that merit will be the basis, it serves notice on the deserving politician that there is no opening for him unless he can measure up to the requirements and that has reference not to politics but to business ability.
 Such a policy can be carried out from the start better than as if it was attempted after the other method had been tried and found wanting. It is the only decision which should be made upon this point.

Trepofr met with opposition. This was manifested on several occasions in the duma when he found it impos- sibIe to speak because of the interrup- tions and now after less than two months of strenuous endeavor to bring the factions together. he had thrown up the sponge and Prince Co., litzine, 8 senator and a member of the council of the empire. has taken his place.
 Just how much this may have had to do with the murder of Rasputin, if anything at all. and whether the pre- miership of Prince Golitzine will mean return to policies which were car ried out under the Sturner regime, remains to be seen. The political sit uation in Russia is as much of a mys- tery as 1t always has been. That 1t causes no little concern to the allies of that nation is readily believed.
 That the new premier is as firmly determined to carry on the war as his predecessor is indicated by his decla- ration that all else must give way to that but whether he will line up with the reactionaries or will follow a mid dle ground remains to be seen. There is every reason to believe, however, that the job which he has taken will prove no picnic.

BUFFALO BILL

The death of Buffalo Bill, the great guide and Indian fighter, whose ex- p1oits have interested the youth of this country for a great many years, will cause sincere regret throughout the country, because he was known not simply by what he did during the early frontier days but because there were few who had not at some time or other had the opportunity to see him in his many tours about the coun- try.
 There are those who claim that the snowman period of his life should be forgotten, because it is felt that 1t has cheapened him, but it cannot be overlooked that were 1t not for that very part of his career he would not today be occupying the place which he does in the minds and hearts Of the nation. It is because of his show life that he has aroused greater inter est in his earlier days. This does not mean that he would have been an ob- scure figure in American history. or that his excellent work as a frontiers man would be overshadowed, but it is through the contact which he has had with the people from one side of the continent to the other that he has in creased his acQuaintanceship and nothing is more impressive or lasting than the memory of such national figure thus created.
 There are many others who hold prominent place in the early history of this nation because of very much the same kind of service that Buffalo Bill rendered. They will not be for gotten but they will remain as his torical figures with whom there has been less acquaintanceship because the people have not had the oppor- tunity to see and hear them.

Use Cocoanut Oil
 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 en- tirely greaseless), is much better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't possibly injure the hair.
 Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two tea spoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy father, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex- ceesive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fiuffy and easy to man. age.
 You can get f1ulsified cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It Is very cheap and a few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family for

NEED GREATER PREVENTION

If it were fact that the fire rec ord of this country and Canada had shown steady decrease each year since such extensive efforts had been
 made in behalf of prevention, there would certainly be reason for discour-
 agement from the report which has
 been made for the past year which
 shows @ tota1s loss in the two coun-
 tries of S231, Al, ,995. This is more
 than 1000, 900 greater than the fig
 ures for the previous year and only
 six other times during this country's
 history has 1t experienced the loss. which occurred last year within it's
 limits. But fire losses always fuc-
 tuate. It can be expected that they will occur but 1t is entirely impossi- ole to fix the place or to limit the amount.
 During the past year there were many conditions which contributed to the fire danger and which caused a relaxation in the work of prevention and included therein was the speeding up that was done in the manufactur- ing plants of this country. particu- Iar1y those where munitions and ex- large plants were destroyed either by accident or by intention ontailing large losses, and this applies both to Canada and this country. The de- struction of the Canadian parliament building and the Black Tom explo- 1 sion probably contributed half of the l increase for the year.
 But whatever the explanation of the | large and sudden increase, 1t only calls for the devotion of more atten- ton to the valuable work that can | he done through prevention. Even 1 under similar working conditions the l present year should show a marked | improvement in cutting down fire i losses as the result Of the lesson of | Tho Sf

northwest of Kharput, and Diarbekr is 50 miles to the southeast. To the
 northeast lies Erzerum, . distance of
 40 miles and seven days journey
 the capital of the vilayet or previnee of which Kharput is the chief city, is only three miles to the south. Eriz- ingan is 90 miles due north.
 "Kharput is widely known to Amer jeans as the center Of missionary &C., tivities in Armenia. A college. a the oiogfcal seminary and a boys and girls school are located here. This colony of Christians suffered terribly at the hands of Kurds some twenty years ago when, after burning many of the populous Armenian villages which dotted the fertile plain stretch Ing far to the south, the wild tribes men. men succeeded in entering the town and protestant Armenian clergymen and converts, and footing the monas- teries and missions.
 '@The history of Kharput goes back to the cloudy obscurity of the years which marked the decay Of the Se- ieucid Empire, in which period it was known as Carcathiocerta in the king dom of Sophene, founded by Zariadris. It was one of the towns visited by the Roman general Corbulo in the course of his famous campaign against Tir- idateS, who had been crowned king of Armenia by his brother, the Parthian FOlOSaeSeS- COrbulO, after having forced Tiridates to lay his diadem at the feet of statue of the Roman em- peror and to swear never to resume 1t until he received it at the hands of the soverign in Rome, was ordered home by the jealous Nero. When the hero, who was the idol Of his soldiers and who might easily have attained the imperial crown itself reached the port of Corinth he was met by mes sengers from Nero who commanded him to commit suicide. Without a moments hesitation the intrepid gen. eral obeyed the order, saying as he expired, I have deserved it.
 "Kharput was one of the cities cap tured by the illustrious and powerful Seljuk prince Kailzobad during his Mesopotamia led by the Egyptian Malik al-Ka1nil. His triumph was short-lived, however. for two years after the fall of this city and the tri- umph of his arms he was poisoned by his own son.
 During the first quarter of the twelfth century Kharput was the place of Imprisonment of Baldwin II, king of Jerusalem, who had fallen in- to the hands of the Amir Balak of Mardin. The historian William of end that while trying to make his es- cape Baldwin was apprehended and that in punishment for this he was cast from g. nearby cliff and dashed to death on the rocks below"

A fine of s150. and ten days in jail, which was imposed upon an autoist in New Haven, seems pretty stiff pen atty for traffic violations. but if the policemans story of the offense is cor rect, that there were four men be- sides the driver in a small runabout and that the machine was being driv- en recklessly through crowded street, the sentence is justified. And it will serve as warning to other auto- ists of this type to be eareful--Hart- ford Post.
