ENGLISH LANGUAGE -. . =
:. :. For ALL SCHOOLS

One Of the effects Of the war is to
be seen. in the very general demand
that there shall be no instruction Ia
the common branches Of education il
any other language than English. Il
is true that there are and have been
number Of schools in the state Of
Minnesota in which great deal Of
the time: Of the teachers and. pupils:
has been given to the study Of. semes
other language than English This;
is not true of our common schools to-
any great extent, but is true OF
many Of the private and parochial
schools of the state. In some of the
German communities of Minnesota
there are children born and raised in
this state, who are unable to carry
on a connected conversation in the
English language, or to read and
| write intelligently in the language Of
this country. Many of the prominent
men of the state are determined now
that such condition shall not per-
sist, and concerted action is to be
taken to bring this matter to the at
tention of the members of the state
i legislature this winter. e. -.
The Olmstead county War Council
is the first body to take definite &C.
tion. They have prepared a set of
resolutions reciting the facts and
suggesting q remedy, and are send
ing them broadcast over the state.
It is a worthy and patriotic project
and should, have the support Of ev-
cry loyal American. ~ sSS.

COPS WON'T
FORM UNION

Tacoma policemen have no in
tention to organize a union and
affiliate with organized labor, ac-
cording to officers at police head
quarters Friday.
The impression that the cops
were to organize arose Thursday
when delegation of policemen
visited the Central Labor temple
and asked labor leaders here to
assist them in getting higher sal
aries.
Officials Of organized labor in
Tacoma are anxious to see the sal
aries of policemen increased in
conformity to the general eleva-
ton in the scale of all labor, they
told the officers, and 1t is expected
that the Central Labor council will
use its influence to induce the city
council to boost the police depart
ment salary scales

USE COCOANUT OIL
FOR WASHING HAIR

If you want to keep your hair
in good condition, be careful
what you wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali
This dries the scalp, makes the
hair brittle, and is very harmful.
Just plain mulsified cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and entirely
greaseless), is much better than
the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use for sham
pooling, as this cant possibly in
jure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two
teaspoOnfuls will make an abund-
ance of rich, creamy lather, and
cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroly. The lather rinses out
easily, and removes every particle
of dust, dirt, dandruff and Rx-
cessiye oil. The hair dries quick
ly and evenly, and it leaves it
fine and silky, bright, fluffy and
easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoa
nut oil at most any drug store.
1t is very cheap, and a few
ounces is enough to last every
one in the family for months.

The Rockies Lament

Alas for eggs and grapefruit
When the bugle blows for chow.
No more apple pie or dumplings,
For we're in the army now.
They fed us stew for breakfast
At noon we have it, too,
And at night they fill our tummies
With more good army stew.
No more fixes, beer or highballs
When we've got an awful thirst,
II you're thinking of enlisting,
Get used to water first.
For the lids on tight all over
And the drill makes us warm,
But we can't cool off on liquor,
Cause we're In the uniform
No more shirts of silk or linen,
We all wear that o. d. stuff;
No more night shirts or pajamas,
For our pants are good enough.
No more feathers, ticks or pillows
But we're glad to thank the
Lord
That we've got a cot and blanket
When we might have just a
board.
But, by jinks! we'll lick the kaiser
When the sergeants teach us
how,
For hang him, he's the reason,
That we're In the army now.
