SAME NAME CAUSES MIXUP.
Federal Agents Investigate L. G..
RobinsOn's Commission.

Mason City, Sept 3.-The coin
cidence of two young men with ex-
actly the same name was responsible
for an investigation started by fed
eral agents into the army commission
obtained by Lee c. Robinson of
Hampton, Iowa.
The trouble arose because there is
another Lee C. Robinson, who re-
sides at Hoopeston, Ill. When the
Hoopeston young man who failed to
obtain admission to the Fort Sheri-
dan officers training camp read in a
newspaper that Lee c. Robinson"
had obtained a commission, it was
thought that an imposter had made
use of his name.
The Hampton Robinson is well
known in northern Iowa. He is a
son of T. c. Robinson, banker and
former state senator.

$3.50, 900 WORTH OF ONIONS 1917
CROP.
500 Carloads Being shipped From
Territory Between Clinton and
Davenport.

Clinton, Ia, Sept. 3.-Nearly 500
carloads, or ten solid train loads of
fifty cars each, of onions are now be-
ing shipped from the fringe Of terri
tory along both banks of ,the Missis-
sippi river between Clinton and Day.
export. This territory has come to
be known as one of the greatest onion
growing sections in the world The
crop represents valuation of approx
imately $45O,000 at the present
price of 90 cents a bushel or $1.75 a
hundred pounds.
BY far the heaviest shipments come
from Pleasant Valley, little station
on the Clinton-Davenport interurban,
where the pioneers in the onion in
dustry have their fields. Thus far
more than 100 car loads have been
shipped from this station and 100
more will move in week or two.
Bettendorf is shipping fifty car
loads, East Davenport seventy-five,
Rock Island, H., twenty-five, and
Hampton and Fulton, H., twenty
five car loads each. The greater por-
ton Of the crop is sent south and
east to the Atlantic seaboard. A few
minor shipments go west and north.
The 1917 crop is exceptionally hea-
Wy, running from 600 to 500 bushels
to the acre. If the ground is kept
free from weeds the cost of cultiva-
ton is small, so that the growers net
about $500 per acre from their crops.

Nashua Reporter:-Wea are inform
ed that a number of persons in this
community were severely stung by a
coffee AID tea salesman who was
travelling through the country with a
sample of his wares taking orders in
rs, SO, and 100 pound lots. The price
was attractive but the goods were in
ferior to the sample and the pur-
chasers considered that they were
stung. 1t is nearly always a losing
game to buy from a peddler.

Hair Often Ruined
By Washing With Soap

Soap should be used very carefully. if
you want to keep your hair looking its
best. Most soaps and prepared sham
Doos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle,
and ruins il
The best thing for steady use is just
ordinary n7ulsifed 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
rr1oisten 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
dandruf and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to
manage
You can get nu1sifed cocoanut oil at
any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and few
ounces VIII supply every member of the
family for months.
