DILLON SAYS DENIS
SHOULD Rave HOUSE
CONGRESSMAN FROM THIS DIS
TRiCT WOULD PLACE RE
SPONSIBILiTN FOR Ma
TIONAL ACTION
ON OTHER
PARTY.

Ihat the Republicans in Congress
are quite likely TO allow the Demo-
Gratis to organize the House of Repre-
sentatlves is the opinion OF Congress-
man Charles Hall Dillon of Yankton.
who represents the First district i'm
the national body. Congressman Dill
Ion was in Mitchell for brief visit
today.
II regard James Mann said Mr..
Dillon. as the most efficient and
capable man in Congress. He is in
dustrious and untiring. He is fearless
in parliamentary procedure. From
the standpoint of personal fitness, /
would like to see Republicans or
ganize the House and elect Mann
speaker.
Lcnroot Good Leader
If Mann We're chosen speaker, we
would have Representative Lenroot,
of Wisconsin, for floor leader That's
another thing | would like. He is
not only particularly strong but is
thoroughly progressive The floor
leader shapes the partys policies,
and Lenroots selection would insure
progressive action.
But from the standpoint of good
politics. it might be better to let the
Democrats organize the House. They
have the Senate and the president,
and it might be we'll to give them the
House and with it. fun responsibility.
Il do not know what action the
party leaders viii take | am willing
to abide by the will of the majority
OF Republicans. | will be unable TO
attend the caucus, which will be held
Saturday night. Leaving Yankton
Friday, | will not arrive i'll Washiag-
ton until Sunday morning.
Not Giving Sentiment.
The congressman did not desire to
make any statement on the military
training question. He declared he was
engaged in getting sentiment on this
issue, not in giving it, He also de
clined to attempt a prophesy as to
what action Congress would take in
regard to a declaration OF war when
it convened April ..
The people of both coasts, stated
NJ Dillon, arc excited and feel that
we are unprepared The middle west
is viewing the situation calmly. am
more in sympathy with the attitude
CT lne west. 1T Is more dellDcIate anu
less impassioncd.
No one can tell what Congress
will do when ii convcnes. That will
depend largely on the reports given
by the president and the state depart
mcnt officials.
Congressman Dillon spent the en-
tire day here and will leave tonight
for his home His residence was form
erly in MITCHELL and he has many
friends here.

Cocoanut Oil Fine
 For Washing Har

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 CO., coanut oil (which is pure and entirely greaseless), 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 father rinses out easily. and removes every particle of dust. dirt, dandruff and ex- cessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsif1ed cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family for months

London. June 18.-The publica-
ton Of the proclamation of the new
King Alexander of Greece comes as
a shock TO England, France and
Italy. The new and youthful mon
arch pledges himself to carry out
the brilliant policy Of his revered
father, the VIGOROUSLY pro-German
Constantine. and uses the language
of an absolute monarch.
The press of the allied nations
demands if il has been hoodwinked
and if another German diplomatic
trick has succeeded in the Balkans
There is a universal demand that if
King Alexander attempts 10 follow
any such course as Constantine, he
be instantly elected without any
ceremony. There is also a desire
that the allies take direct control Of
the country. establish Nenizelos and
keep him there by force if neces-
sary."
The foregoing dispatch is the first
intimatiOn that the new king OF
Greece had issued any such procla-
nation. When he was put on the
throne Of Greece by the entente 10

stantine, it was generally believed
that Greece would enter the war on

WASHINGTON. June 19.-Amer-

ministrator, told members of the
senate in informal meeting today in
trying 20 remove from their minds
some Of the cobwebs of misunder-
standing which have been handicap
ping the progress Of the food control
bill.
Hope that Mr. Hoover's assistance
would facilitate the passage Of the
food control bin was not realized TO

concluded his statement ne was
subjected 10 a grilling cross examin-
alton by Senators Gore. of Okla

Mr. Hoover emphatically denied
that the purpose of the bill is 10 set
up food dictatorship in the United
States.
America" he said. has reached
no such point of desperation"
Outlines His Plans.
The stimulation Of production.
and the conservation and control Of
supplies. must rest almost entirely
upon the individual voluntary effort
of every American man. woman
and child. He outlined his plans for
mobilizing the individual effort and
energy of the nation into a gigantic
conservation army.
The control Of food must be taken
from the hands Of spectators and
placed in the hands of the govern
ment, he said. To emphasize the
evils Of speculation, he laid before
the senators figures TO show that
during the past FIVE months, the
people have been 1eeced of S25O,-
600, 600 in -four prices alone.
Unless something is done quickly
70 bring prices down 10 a reasonable
level, Mr.. Hoover warned the SEN
atOrs that the nation will be con-
fronted by demands for increased
wages from all industries. with a
consequent waste Of efficiency from
the disturbances which would re-
suit
No more vivid evidence Of the
necessity for food control can be
found, said Mr.. Hoover, than a COM
