The Ellsworth high school basket
ball team drove through here yester-
day morning, enroute for Hudson,
where they took the train for Me-
nomonie to take part in the state
high school basketball tournament.
A dog, unaccustomed to seeing
trains on this line, crossed the trestle
near Greenwood mills this morning,
and not recognizing the passenger
train as a possible menace in his
path, was swept off the bridge and
down onto the ice, where he picked
himself up, sWore few canine oaths,
and proceeded upon his way. dig
ney's dray team had so far forgot
ten about railroads that they took
fright at the engine yesterday, and
in swift turn threw Warren off in
to pile of ashes.
A large crowd gathered at places
Of advantage along the right O. way
about 4:30 yesterday afternoon to
watch the snow pillow buck the drifts
as it passed through the city. The
pillow was attached at the front of a
"gondola," which was weighted
down with rock. A monster engine
propelled it. Although it was stuck
several times before getting out of
town. it always managed. after back
ing out and getting new starts, to
get through, and the trip to Ellis
worth was made in comparatively
short time. The first passenger train
since last Thursday night came in
about 10 o'clock last evening. 1t
brought three big truckloads of ex-
press and baggage, and there were
nearly 80 sacks of mail.
During the blockade of the train
there has been much Impotence
over the delay in receiving the mail.
So that no blame will be attached to
the local office, it may be well to ex-
plain that strict postal rules made it
impossible for Postmaster Stiles to
accept any of the many volunteer
offers of those who wished to go to
Hudson and bring down the mail
A provision in the rules explicitly
forbids any action being taken in
such case unless permission has
been. received direct from the second
assistant postmaster general at
Washington. AS soon as it was
found that the railway company
could not deliver the mail, Mr. Stiles
at once petitioned for the extra ser
vice, and when permission was
granted the overland service was es-
tablished, tri-weekly schedule be-
ing allowed, for Tuesdays, Thurs
days and Saturdays until the railroad

Careless Use of Soap
Spells the Hair

Sap should be used very carefully, If
you want TO keep your hair looking it's
best. Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkah. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle,
and ruins 1t.
The best thing for steady use is just
ordinary mulsifed cocanut oil (Which
Is pure and greaseless), and is better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
sOne or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
nloisten the hair with water and rub it
in. IL makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather. which rinses out easily,
removing every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff 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
20 manage
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at
any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and a
few ounces will supply every member
Of the family for months.-Adv.

pow had not hit Robinson. And he said
that Robinson was not able to hold the
plow that day so he had taken the reins
