Special to Times Republican.
Des MoineA July 1.-THE state
board Of control does not yet know
where Its naxt winters coal supply is
coming from. Attic the board has
been figuring for several weeks on its
coal contracts for the state institutions
no contracts have as yet been made.
Representatives of the coal opera
tors of the state met with members
OF the board Friday and went over the
situation. No definite agreement was
reached, however, altho the operators
told the members Of the board that
they would endeavor to supply what
could not be contracted for from other
sources.
The operators frankly told the men,
bers of the board they did not want
the state business because they said
they had more business now than they
could handle. They also claimed that
the regular trade in Iowa will more
than use up their output if no coal
Is shipped in from outside the state.
Can Not Meet Requirements.
The Iowa operators also say that it
Is not possible for them to meet all the
requirements which the state control
beard has heretofore made as to pre-
payment Of freight by the operators
and the shipping Of coal only at such
timas ~ the Institutions can handle
1t to the best advantage. They say
further that they can not afford to walt
for the payment Of their bills as long
. time a the state requires as they
must put up considerable money all
Of the time to handle their business.
AZ matter Of fact no way out has
been found by the state council OF de-
Tense or others in handling the coal
situation. The operators firmly de-
clare they will have more business
than they can handle next winter II
householders and others do not fill their
BINS during the summer. Otherwise
they say they Will not be able to han
die the business. Furthermore they
viii not talk price reductions when
they have such heavy demands on
them for coal.

Alkali Makes Soap
Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use Is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this Ia pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap,
and beats the most expensive soaps or
anything else all to pieces. You can
get this at any drug store, and few
ounces will last the whole family for
l.-onths.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub 1t in, about teaspoonful is all
that is required. It makes an album

and easy to handle. Besides. 1t loos-

TWO MILLION DOLLAR COMPANY
TO BE ORGANIZED At
DUBUQUE.
ONE OF LARGEST PLANTS
WEST OF MISSISSIPPI
Plan to Make City Center Of Packing
Industry in Iowa, and to Employ 30.
tween 500 and 600 Msn-New Com
pany to Be incorporated Under Laws
Of Delaware.

Dubuque, July 1.-THE former plant
of the Dubuque Brewing and Mating
Company, located at Thirty second and
Jackson streets, will soon be occupied
| by a s2,00o,O00 packing industry, one of
the largest west of the Mississippi
river.
The project, which has been under
discussion for the past several months,
was endorsed by the commercial club
at meeting held at the club build
ing Friday night.
Outside and home capital are inter-
ested in the establishment of the
plant. The company will be organized
at once and articles of Incorporation
will be taken out in the state Of Della
ware.
The plant will be a great industrial
boost for Dubuque. 1t was stated Fri
day that between 500 and 600 men will
be employed and that Dubuque will
become the meat packing center Of the
state of Iowa.
The board Of directors, to be chosen
by the trustees of the commercial
club, will have between eleven and
fifteen members, including Dubuque
men and capitalists of other cities. 1t
Is stipulated that President William
H. Meuser and Secretary Paul Ran
kin, of the commercial club. shall be
members Of the board who shall select
the board of directors.
Following the organization Of the
company the sale of stock will be
opened.
The stock will be issued at a par
value Of 800 share. 1t will consist
Of common stock and seven per cent
cumulative preferred stock.
Local Plants Advantages,
1t is claimed that when the packing
plant in Dubuque gets under way
farmers in this section will obtain from
So to $2.25 more for their hogs. Chicago
stockyards charges, such as commits
sion, terminal and yardage, will be
eliminated and because Of the short
haul the reduction in freight rates will
be marked. Reduced shrinkage will
also swell tho fArmerS profits. It IL
claimed. At the present time. when
hogs are shipped to Chicago, there Is
much shrinkage In their weight due
to the long haul. All these items
amount to q big profit.
It is also the contention that there
it a steady Increase In the demand for
packing house products and that war
and subsequent peace conditions will
| only serve to make the demand greater.
Statistics gathered show that eleven
counties around Dubuque raised about
100000 hogs last. year. This Ia proof
sufficient that Dubuque is in the oen-
ter Of a hog raising territory. It has
been necessary for the farmers to send
these hogs to Chicago, where they are
killed and turned into packing house
products, part OF which are naturally
