JOHNSON BOOM
FOR PRESIDENT
I VOICED HERE
californians Laud Their
Junior Senator as White
House Timber In 1920.

California enthusiasm reached q
high pitch last night when Repre-
sentative Nolan, of that State, who
presided at the meeting Of the Cali
fornia State Association, suggested
that the question of finding a meeting
place after Is20 might be settled BY
the Californians being extended the
privileges Of the East Room Of the
White House for that purpose.
Senator Hiram W. johnson. Of the
s4Golden State" had Just finished q
stirring address, telling the large at
tendance Of native sons and daugh-
ters present that while Californians
inherited from the climate Of their
wonderful State the privilege Of pleas
ure, at the same time they knew how
to fight, and that the men from CALI
fornia now on the battle front would
keep on going and never come back
until they brought with them the
proud trophies Of victory.
No Politics.
Politics did not enter into the spirit
of Senator Johnson's remarks. He an
nounced right on that the subject OF
his coming was to have a good time
~ regular old California style, and he
paid many tributes to his native State.
He said there were but two classes
Of people in the world-those who live
IN California and those who wanted to
and that nature took the best there
was from every State in the Union and
welded it into the people OF California.
Praises Wage Scale.
you find no Californian who Is
not for q living wage" he said.
and there Is no Californian who
would not tighten the weight of
burden wherever II may be. In the
past eight years California has writ
ten into the laws what women have
prayed for. and California leads
every State in the union for its
benefits to humanity"
Representative Clarence W. Lea,
OF California, also made a brief ad-
dress. while Wilson Oliver. accom-
panied by Miss Blanche Mccoy, sang
several patriotic songs. The affair
ended with a social dance in the
auditorium OF the Thompson School,
Twelfth and L streets northwest,
where the meeting was held.

MAYORS EXPLANATION
FACTS CONCERNING THE LIGHT
ING OF THE CITY FROM THE
NORMAL POWER PLANT.

AS there has been so much ques-
ton and so many false reports as to
what our light and power service
will be and who will get service and
when, | think 1t best to inform the
public of our plans for service, as we
now have ii arranged.
Mr.. Baldwin, chief engineer at the
Normal, has worked out a plan for
installing the engine and generator
at the Normal power house which
we borrowed from Sioux Falls and
assisted by the city's electric light
and waterworks employees, expects to
have the plant in operation within
a few days.
This machine being less than half
the size of the Diesel engine at the
old plant, ii will be necessary to cut
the load down as much as possible.
but it is not the intention to deprive
anybody of what light they actually
need. All unnecessary lighting, how
ever; that is, lights that can be got
ten along without must be done away
WIFI. Ills Will DNoh mot bhOot VI
the ornamental street lights on Egan
.avenue, electric signs and show win
dow lights must be discontinued at
the present time. 1t may also be nee
essary for the business houses to
pass a daylight ordinance to close
their doors at shutdown. Churches
and lodges must use just as few
flights as possible. We will try to
give both light and power to every
one and trust to your honor to be as
conservative as possible. We plan to
have power for electric motors, wash
ing machines and irons and for one
light in each residence at night.
1t might be we'll to state at this
time that the city officials of Sioux
Falls, Mr.. Beals, foreman at the
roundhouse and Mr.. Baldwin, chief
engineer at the Normal, were very
prompt and generous in coming to
our aid in this time of need. Before
noon on the day the plant burned,
mr.. Beals had rendered the use of a
locomotive and pump for temporary
relief i'm continuing the water supply
and before / o'clock Mr., Baldwin, in
behalf of President Heston, who was
absent from the city at the time, call
ed my home by telephone to offer
the services of the Normal power
plant, which has a boiler capacity OF
1900 horsepower, all in first class
shape. Later when Mayor Burnside,
of Sioux Falls, was consulted in re-
gard to an engine and generator fol-
temporary use, Mr.. Burnside, accom-.
panied by Mr.. Hanson, city electri'
clan, of Sioux Falls, drove to Madi-
SON at once to learn our needs and
to ascertain il their equipment could
be used to help us out. They shipped
the machinery to us next day, to bs
used as long as needed and said thai
no charge whatever would be made
for its service. With the co-opera,
ton Of the consumers, Mr.. Baldwin
hopes to be able to furnish steam fol
heating the Normal school and the
Temporary lighting OF the city.

Cocoanut Oil Makes
 A Splendid Shampoo

If you want to keep your hair in good condition, be careful what you wash it with.
 Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkah This dries the scalp. makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain mulsi- fled cocoanut oil (which is pure and entirely greaseless), is much better than the most expensive soap or any thing else you can use for shampooing, as this can't possibly injure the hair.
 Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoon fuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The father rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust. dirt, dandruff and ex- cessive oil The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and 2 few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family for months
