WHEN THE DOLLAR sHRlNKs.

With the world owing Uncle Sam
billions Of dollars, his money isn't
considered good in neutral countries
In every sense Of the word, Uncle
sam Is now the premier creditor ma
ton Of the world. The American
dollar, with its firm basis on the gold
standard, should therefore DO worth
its face value in any country in the
world. It ought to be the best money
available, but it isn't.
In Spain, for example, the Ameri-
can dollar is worth but seventy-fve
cents.
The average citizen might adopt
the attitude that it doesn't concern
him because ne has no dealings with
Spain. But wait a minute. Just take
for an example the olive Oil trade.
Italy, normally, is the big exporter OF
olive oil; but the Italian supply is
being kept at home now, because Of
the war The American supply is
not sufficient for the needs Of this
country, and olive oil, therefore, is
being imported from Spain. The
shrinkage in the value Of the Ameri-
can dollar, therefore, means that Am
erican consumers get but rs cents
worth Of olive oil for every dollar
they spend. Yet in the face Of this
condition, Spain is annually import
ing some S5OOOO.OOO more Of goods
from the United States than we i'm
port from Spain. That means that
she must pay the United States about
$50, 900, 900 yearly.
The coroIlary is also true and the
Spanish business man is able to buy
81 worth OF goods for seventy-fiVs
cents here.
The same conditions prevail with
other neutral countries, Denmark, |
Sweden, Norway and Holland.
1t is an unnatural situation and |
one that can be remedied.

Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair. be care
full what you use. Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too much
alkali, which is very injurious, as 1t
dries the scalp and makes the hair
brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsifed cocoanut oil, for this is pure
and entirely greaseIess. 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 It in, about q teaspoonful is
all that is required. It makes an

Mr.. cRowELL OF CLEVELAND.

Mr.. Benedict CrowelI of Cleveland
is today almost unknown outside OF
Ohio and Washington.
During the next few months Mr..
CroweH may loom very large in the
national vision. He will probably
figure as much in the news as Mr..
Hoover, or Mr.. Baker.
In the first place Mr.. Crowell is
the assistant secretary Of war. Secre.
tary Baker is reported to be consid-
ering a trip to France to study the
war problems at close range, and it
is even rumored that he will remain
there as a member Of the supreme
war council. Mr.. Crowell is expected
to step into his shoes as acting
secretary Of war at least.
In the second place, Mr.. CrowelI is
credited with being the man who has
drafted the reorganization plan for
the war department. Mr.. Crowell
quietly into the war depart
rent last November. BY profession
he Is an engineer, chemist and metal
lurgist, but he was a contractor and
builder on a big scale in Ohio, and
in a business way. 1t is
now believed that as early as last

that a reorganization Of the war de-
partment would be necessary, and

INTERNATIONAL THUoeERY.

International thuggery as brought
10 its greatest development by Ger
many. Is exemplfed by the terms
suggested for the proposed separate
peace which Is 20 be enforced against
Russia
It is stin too early TO consider the
effects Of the separate peace. which
has not yet been signed. News dis
matches from Russia are not depend
able these days. That does not mean
the dispatches are cOlored In this
country or faxed" It means that the
country - in such a state Of chaos
that no one correspondent can pre-
sent a picture Of events or condi-
lions which is either comprehensive
or Trustworthy. Probably not even
Trotzky or Lentne could forecast
events IN Russia for forty-eight
hours.
II is therefore we'll 70 withhold
Judgment On the latest act OF the
Bolshevik government, the reported
plea for a separate peace, which has
hitherto been rejected. 1t may not be
signed. 1t may have been forced on
the Bolshevild by the Russian peo-
pie themselves. for above everything
else Russia wants peace. 1t may be
part of a plot to overthrow the Boil
shevik government.
But meanwhile the world has a
chance to see the German junker
party with the mask off. All Ger
many's professions that she was
fighting a defensive war are shown
in their true light by the demands
made Of Russia
Both lamentations and indemndties
are demanded. The annexations would
give Germany all the Russian territory
she needs for her great Middle Eur
opean empire from the North Sea to
the Persian gum. The indemnity is
huge enough to make Russia Ger
many's vassal for half a century.
It Is a startling revelation Of what |
terms other European nations may
expect from @ victorious Germany. If
Russia, bankrupt and starving. is
forced TO pay four billions In tndem-
mites and give UP her richest prov
inoas, what would a defeated France |
pay2 And what would conquered |
England be made to pay? With these
nations conquered, what would |
.Amarlca be looted for by a victori- |
Gus German navy augmented by the
British hest7
It - not an occasion for any undue
alarm. but IT does prove conclusive
~ that this must be q war to the |
bitter end, that end being either Ger
many's complete subsection or the
overthrow Of her junkers. The choice
Is forced on the Allies by the spec
tacle OF victorious Germany wreck

PECULIAR WILL
LEFT AT DEATH
OF ECCENTRIC
Little Known of Frank
Gardner, Former East
Grand Forks Character

East Grand Forks, Mimi, Feb. 21.-
Shrouded with mystery, a life of
forty-three years, has closed with
the death OF Frank Gardner, a we'll
known character of East Grand
Forks.
In a worn notebook found upon
his body at the hospital in which he
died, was his will. He told Hugh
Quigley, several weeks ago that in
case he should die all necessary in
formation would be found there" and
he indicated his breast pocket.
An investigation made of the ram
shackle building in which he lived
was disclosed a clutter OF rubbish,
empty boxes, old rubbers, iron, army
muskets, and a miscellaneous collec-
ton Of old and worthless articles.
Life is very uncertain" Gardner
says in the notebook will found on
his body. mo man knows today
what may happen before tomorrow.
Therefore, it is well to be prepared
for the inevitable. I was always
given to understand by my father,
in a subtle way, that he did not con-
slider that I was entitled to bear his
name, although 1 did so until middle
life
'In case of my death, let my re-
mains be put away in as respectable
manner as is possible according to
my financial condition at the time of
my death and in accordance with the
rules Of the neighborhood in which I
may be living. AS my relatives will
not be known there will be no use of
going to any expense in trying to
find any of them, unless hereinafter
provide with instructions for doing
So"
Frank Gardner pushed cart about
the streets and the alleys Of the city,
gathering rubbish for a number of
years and lived in an old building
near the Minnesota Point bridge. Lit
tie is known Of his past life for he
was very reticent on matters pertain |
ing to his life before coming to East |
Grand Forks. Six or seven years ago, |
Gardner walked to East Grand Forks |
from Duluth.

witness stand, under oath, while
he said that he had not bought
