dent Wilson declared in an address
mere last night that every element

This element saw a chance, he said.
by keeping this nation out Of the

again what Germany had tried to do
in the great war. 1t was a clean issue
Mr.. Wilson declared. between this
new order or the old German order.
Declaring the peace treaty provision
Tor an international labor conference
would give labor new bill of rights,
the president declared the treaty was
"laboring mans treaty" in the sense
that it was a treaty drawn up for the
Denent or the common people.
People Given Rights
The political settlements themselves
said the president. were made for the
peoples concerned. He asserted that
principal that no territory ever should
be governed except as the people who
lived there wanted it governed.

High taxes, large standing army,
and military government in spirit"
would be required, he said, If the
United States were to follow the ad-
vice of some men and stand by her
self"
Asking his hearers to suppose for a
moment that the land titles of South
Dakota were to be upset and every
farm lines moved ten feet, Mr.. Wilson
said that was somewhat like what hap
pened in Europe, and a central authori
ty was necessary to stabilize condi
tons and prevent strife

town streets were lined with crowds

A Shriner's band led the parade. Gov
ernor Peter Norbeck, a Republican

who sat on the stage, was presented
with some roses by two little girls
who walked across the stage to her
place while the crowd, which packed
the hall, cheered. Mrs. Wilson thank
ed the girls with a kiss and there
were more cheers.
The president opened his address by
relating how woman who shook
hands with him at a way stop today
had burst into tears when she tried
to tell him Of her son killed in France
This incident, said Mr. Wilson
brought home to him that the country
had suffered greatly not for a temper
airy advantage but for a permanent
betterment of the world. In the eyes
of the American boys who went a
cross the seas, he continued, the peo
pie Of Europe had seen a determine

Alkali In Soap
Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully.
If you want TO keep your hair looking
it's best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkai.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and ruins 1t.
The best thing for steady use IS Null
sified cocoanut oil shampoo (Which is
pure and greaseless), and is better
than anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub
it in. 1t makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, 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 Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo at any pharmacy, it's very
cheap, and a few ounces will supply
every member Of the family for
months.-Ady.
