SCHOOLS COME FIRST.

BY a. vote Of about to 2, Fargo
approved the high school bond issue,
The money was not grudgingly
given. but It did not come easy.
The fact that the voters approved
Ahs bonds under the conditions, is
evidence that schools arc placed
above all other public improvements.
It In doubtful If a bond issue for any
other municipal enterprise, would
have received any material support
ut this time.
The schools must be maintained at
all costs. and that Is the attitude
Fargo took in yesterdays election.
The Forum believes that the board
members will strive sincerely to get
the worth Of every dollar. 1t would
be unfortunate indeed, If after max
ang such a sacrifice for their children
for 1t will involve a sacrifice in
some instances the taxpayers
should be forced to foot a bill for
extras" II the board members show
the efficiency The Forum expects they
will show, in handling the erection
OF the new school, they win be per
forming a public service Of the
greatest value, and will be entitled to
the gratitude Of every taxpayer who
contributes toward the new building.

Hair Often Ruined
BY Washing With Soap

Soap should be used very carefully,
if you want to keep your hair looking
its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle and ruins ii.
The best thing for steady use lie
just ordinary mulsitied cocoanut OIL
(which is pure and greaseless), and is
better than the most expensive soap
or anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls win cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Sim
ply moisten the hair with water and
rub 1t in. 1t makes an abundance of
rich, creamy 1ather, 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 to manage.
You can get mulsiaed cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and
q few ounces win supply every nem-
Der Of the family for months.--Adv.

Dandruff Soon
Ruins The Hair

Girls-if you want plenty Of thick,
beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all
means get rid OF dandruff, for 1t will
starve your hair and ruin it il you
don't.
1t doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dis
solve 1t, then you destroy it entirely.
To do this. get about four ounces Of
ordinary liquid aryon; apply it at
night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub IL in
gently with the finger tips.
BY morning, most IL not all, Of your
dandruff win be gone, and three or
four more applications will complete
ly dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace OF II.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging OF the scalp win stop,
and your hair will look and feel a
hundred times better. You can get
liquid arvon at any drug store. 1t is
inexpensive and four ounces is all you
viii need, no matter how much dan
druff you have. This simple remedy
never fails.--Adv.

From The Harvey Journal: To
Judge from the remarks made by
visitors in town during this week,
and from the letters received from
farmer readers Of The Journal, the
leading article in last weeks paper
has made some OF our friends do
some pretty good thinking and most
OF that thinking has not been favor
able to the cause of the Consumers
United Stores company-the corpora
ton OF which Mr.. Townley now ad-
mtts he Is the head.
As we said last week, we have no
quarrel with the Nonpartisan league;
many of the members Of she league
are our very good friends-and this
scheme did not claim to be a league
proposition. Now, however, Mr..
Townley has admitted, on the wit
ness stand in Bismarck, that it is his
property, and that 1t is nobody's
id business what he is doing with
the THREE MILLION DOLLARS
that he has collected from the farm
ers during the last three years.
We still have no quarrel with our
league friends; but We do believe
that they are being defrauded, and
that an attempt Is being made, to sad
die upon them the greatest trust that
was ever conceived. It Is almost I'M
hslievable that thousands of farmers,
most all Of them sound business men,
should turn over $4,000, 900 OF their
money-.the states life blood-with-
out a receipt, without definite knowl-
edge Of what the money is to be used
for, and without an accounting.
l believe in Equity principles; the
principle Of local organizations of
farmers united in a common pur-
pose. But, so far as can flnd, there
are no local league organizations; the
members have no voice in the cleo
ton Of their officers, the adoption OF
q constitution or bylaws, or the use

told the, editor this week:

NOTHING HELD BACK NOW.

All censorship restrictions have
been removed from newspaper cor
respondents at the various army
camps and cantonments.
The order issued by Major General
Biddle, acting chief Of staff, pre-
.scribes new and much more lenient
regulations regarding men in the
service who write for publication
and ends with this paragraph:
"None Of the foregoing applies
to press dispatches filed from ma
tionaI army or national guard
environments or camps by reg
uIarly paid newspaper CORES
pondents not in the military ser
vice. Their copy win not be
censored by military authorities,
but the camp commander will
instruct them that they must
rigidly adhere to the requests for
secrecy with respect to informa-
ton Of value TO the enemy, as
defined in the printed card sent
out by the committee on public
information. On violation Of
these requests the offending cor
respondent will be deprived OF
the privileges Of the camp.
This order should remove any
cause for fears or forebodings of those
having relatives in the camps. How
ever unwarranted these fears may
be, the mere fact that a censorship
existed gave ground for the vague
misgiving that all was not right at
the camps. and that real conditions
were being suppressed.
There is q printed card Of instruc-
tions hanging in The Forum office.
1t is issued by the department Of
public information and it tells what
news regarding the war may not be
published. That is all the news that
is withheld now and anyone is at
liberty to study that card.

NOT A STATIC WAR.
This is not a static war.

This is not static war.
Copies of the Official Bulletin
Uncle Sans daily newspaper, have
reached Fargo bringing the complete
stenographic report of Secretary
Bakers testimony before the senate
committee.
The press reports carried a very
impartial and fairly complete sum-
mary of that testimony, but some
little touches are added by reading
Of the verbatim report.
Reviewing the rapid changes in the
demands of the armies, Secretary
tRaker said:
Therefore, it became necessary
for us to have eyes there in in
slant and immediate communt-
cation with us, and we sent over
to France Gen. PershinE, and we
sent with him not merely a divis-
ion Of troOps-to that / shall
refer in a moment-but we sent
with him, perhaps can say
safely, the major part Of the
trained, expert personnel Of the
army. You know the size of the
o41cial corps OF the regular army
in this country when the war
broke out. It was a pitifuI hand
ful of trained men, and yet it
was necessary to divide them up
and send over to France officers
Of the highest quality 80 that
they would be at the front and
see in the workshops and in the
factories and in the war offices,
and in the armies, where con-
situations would take place inn
mediately back of the front-sO
that they could see the thing with
their own eyes, and send us back
the details by cable every day Of
the changing character Of this
war.
Gen. Pershing's staff Of experts
and officers over there runs into
the thousands, and they are busy
every minute, and every day that
the sun rises set cablegrams
from Gen. Pershing from 10 to
16 and 20 pages long, filled with
measurements and formulas and
changes OF a millImeter in size,
great long specifications OF
changes IN details OF things
which were agreed upon last
week and changed this week. and
need to be changed again next
