Alkali Makes Soap
Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much a1ka1i. 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 is 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 a few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub 1t in, about a teaspoonful is
all that is required. It makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather.

TO AID SMALL BANKS
Big Bankers in Kansas To Advance
Money for Seed Wheat.

Big town bankers will advance the
small banks of western Kansas ST.
250,O00 with which to handle the seed
wheat campaign. The money will be
loaned to the small banks thru the
various clearing house associations.
Loans will be effective from the time
they are made until the seed wheat
is planted and loans are redeemed by
the government thru federal farm
loan banks.
At a meeting in Topeka. members
of the Topeka Clearing House asso-
citation told state officials they would
get behind the project to finance the
seed wheat campaign for western
counties. Under the government rule,
six per cent interest will be allowed
for the time the money is used. This
interest will be collected by banks ad-
vancing the money. The loans will
be made thru the small town local
banks which are anxious to aid in the
work, but are unable to provide ade-
quate funds.
J. c. Mohler, secretary of the state
board Of agriculture, believes the plan
to handle the loans thru clearing
house organizations will meet demands
for immediate relief in many western
counties. Under the plan which has
been adopted, sufficient funds will be-
come available almost imm ediately
for such loans as the government will
approve in the state.

KANSAS STANDS THIRD
Nebraska and Iowa Lead State in
Stamp Sales

Nebraska and Iowa Lead State in
Stamp Sales.
Kansas is backing in a substantial
way the American soldiers and their
allies in the big drive that is hurting
back the enemy and speeding the time
when the victory will be complete.
In a report which was sent out from
the headquarters of the National War
Savings committee, Kansas is placed
as third among the states of the union
in cash sales of war savings and thrift
stamps. Here is the order in which
the three top states stand in sales by
postoffices and banks:
Nebraska .......... $23, ,14s 342. 42 s17.s7
Iowa ............... q, ,5O4, ,103.92 946
KANSAS .-......... II ,66S, ,263.70 935
p. w. Goebel, state director, has
received congratulations from Wash
ington for the people of Kansas on this
fine showing. A much better showing
however, is expected at the end of the
present month, as reports indicate
heavy sales thruout the state.
The people are redeeming their
pledges made on June 2S, but the
amount pledged added to the sales
does not bring up the full quota of
Kansas. More work is to be done in
many counties which will sell their
full quota by the end of the year, in
order to make up for the shortage in
counties that have suffered most by
the drouth.
