to come home last Wednesday. We
only hope the trip will not be too tire
some for him, as he is not very strong
yet.
Dorothy Hoskins came home last
Wednesday to visit with her brother,
Elmer, who has been home for the
past three weeks. He was expecting
to go to camp on Nov. Is. We are
very thankful that his call has been

THE SILO AND DRY FARM
ING GO HAND IN HAND
Spells Success for Farmer or Dairy
man in unirrigated Districts.

"Silos and dry farming go hand in
hand" says w. f. Spangler. of the
Colorado Agricultural College. 'If
you don't believe it, just look over
your neighbor's back fence. If he is
a successful dairyman, in an unirri-
gated district. you will probably find
two silos instead of one. No, you
can't always see them from the road,
because many are in the ground.
When you find man with silo ON
his place you may be well assured
that he is playing the game safe. He
knows that it pays to provide succu-
lent Feed for winter to take the place
of the green grass the cows get in
summer. He knows that the value
of this succulent feed is due to its
beneficial laxative effect, and to its
palatability, which stimulates diges-
tion. He knows that two tons of
corn fodder in the silo are worth more
than three tons of fodder in the field.
He has often stood back and watched
his neighbor feed dry fodder and
waste almost one third of its value by
doing so. Do you have n silo on
your farm? If so, you will be well
repaid this winter. If not, it is n
good plan to start figuring on one
before the corn is ready to cut next
fall"

Made Good Anyway.

When Republican County Chairman
McMillin proposed to adjourn politics
last summer If the democrats were
willing, he asked that the usual cam
paign assessments be collected and
used for the boys "over there" He
could not get the democrats to agree,
but succeeded in spite Of the small
campaign fund In saving 500 for the
boys, and the subscription Of the coun-
ty committee will be found in the 500
list at the Citizens State Bank window,
and Just to show that he meant it Mr..
McMillin added his own for a like
amount. II his plan had been adopted
both the boys over there and the demo-
Gratis would have Jared better in Prov

THE RUSSIAN ANARCHIST
Former Well Known Character of
Prowers County Arrested as
Bernstorff Spy.

Sometimes people in casually giving
a nickname to a man come nearer to
the truth than they know. A few
years ago q newspaper man bought
the Granada paper and ran it some
months as n radical socialist organ.
He came from Nebraska and was call
ed Emil Moll, which may or may not
have been his name. He was great on
running around and on his frequent
trips to Lamar always carried a small
grip and whatever the weather wore a
long overcoat. This combined with his
red whiskers and cadaverous look won
him the general sobriquet of "The
Russian Anarchist" After the fire,
which many accused him of starting
at Granada, he left this section, and
has since been heard from in different
parts of the country. The following
clipping from Nebraska paper shows
that our people were not far off in
naming him only he was probably
worse than they thought:
Emil Moll. under suspicion of being
q German spy. has been interned. Moll
was taken from SCOTS Bluff, Neb., re-
Gently to Omaha by United States mar
shals. He was said to have been act
i've in German propaganda, coming
from Berlin to assist Bernstorff in
seditious practices throughout the
United States in 1910. He is 36 years
old and has not registered for the
draft"

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

# 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 mulsificd cocoanut
oil (Which is pure and entirely grease
less), is much better than the most ex-
pcnsiye soap or anything else you can
use for shampooing as this cant pos
sibly injurc the hair.
Simply moistcn your hair with water
and rub it in. One " two teaSpoonfuls
will make an abundance cf rich, creamy
lathcr, and clcanscs the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The la,hcr rinses out easily,
and removes every particle Of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it
fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You Can get mulslied cocoanut oil at
most any drug store, 1t is very cheap,
aud few ounces is enough TO last
everyone in the family for months.

Your grocer your dry goods merchant or your

wares to YOU Through combination of economic
circumstances which he has no control his cost of
operation has increased He is compelled to protect
himself by increasing the selling price of his goods in

Your utility company is experiencing the same in

more for every item entering into the production of

BRITISH PEOPLE HEAR SERIOUS NEWS
 IN PERFECT CALM

London. May 2s,--The British people have received the serious events in Trance with their characteristic quiet and confidence. Their morale appears not to have been affected and there is not the slightest SC eblance of excite ment in London.
 After digesting the late editions of
 the morning newspapers the people
 went quietly about business as usual. Their solemn manner. however, indi- |cated that they appreciated the serious mess of lf. situation .ferever the latest developments were discussed the predominant view was that the allied reserves would turn the tables on the |enemy at General Foch's chosen time, and that there was no reason for alarm. especially as the ever growing Ameri- can army had not yet made itself felt. The afternoon papers, while not seek ling to minimize the seriousness of the Herman blow on the Aisne, assure the public that the allied reserves are com ling into action They feature the suc- cess of the Americans near Montdidier publishing long accounts from British who credit the Ameri- leans with brilliant fighting.
