in the background until the bin being whip
ped into final shape by James A. Scarlet

ton.
The tentative plans Of tho Scarlet bill
were outlined Mt Il conference between the
interestd parties and members of the LeEis-
lature from the anthracite counties here
last week Mr. Scarlet insists that the
State can pass u law providing specific pu-
lice powers that would make it Il criminal
offense for a coal operator or coal cor
poratiou to drdp the surface. cndangering
lives and causing damage TO property,
with this in mind, a bill carrying such
provision is now in the making.
The Davis bill calls for the placing Of

machinery had developed to the stage
where the productive capacity of our in
dustries exceeded the possible demand
for the products under existing social
conditions, then competition became a
destructive force, drove the price of
commodities down below the cost of
production, and so created an unstable
condition which could end only with the
destruction of the vanquished as we'll as
the victor in the competition. and indus
trial cooperation had to take its place.
I'm the European war we see the
final fight between the waning competi-
tive system and the coming cooperative
era. This issue has been decided and
cooperation won, whatever may be the
military outcome of the war. for the
individualstic nations, even England in
cluded, had to adopt the cooperative
organization of its national organism
TO survive.
Against the terrible efficiency of
the cooperative industrial organization
for the Europe after the war our coun-
try will have no chance; but, hopeessly
outclassed, will sink to second rank as
an industrial nation unless we also ac-
ccpt industrial cooperation as the guild
ing light.
This means recognition of the
corporation as industry's most efficient
tool. 1t means that we must cease to
legislate against industrial cooperation,
stop attempts to resurrect n dead era,
that of competition, by man-made laws
which violate the economic laws of ma
ture, but must assist and encourage CO.

tions into organizations controlling all

A very large number attended the
domestic science exhibit at Oak Grove
seminary Thursday afternoon ana eve
ming. and a neat sum was realized from
the candy sale that was held in connec-
tion with IL.

place, her sister, Miss Emma Lands
verk. taking second place. Miss Mabel
Borreson, of Lamberton, Mimi. took
third place in the contest.

the visitors on the standard OF work
done in the domestic science depart
ment of this seminary, and the contest

Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your Hair


Most soaps and prepared shanpoos
contain too much alkali. which is very
injurious, as IL dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for it is pure
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 months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub. it in. about a teaspoonful is
all that is required. II makes an
abundance Of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft fresh looking,
bright. fluffy wavy, and easy TO handle.
Besides, 1t l0osens and takes out ev-
cry particle Of dust. dirt and dandrutE.
