Be Careful What You
Wash Your Hair With

Most soaps and prepared shanpoos
contain too much alblali, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes
the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Mulsifed CO.
coanut oil shampoo, for this is pure and
entirely greaseless. It's very cheap and
beats anything else all to pieces. You
can get this at any drug store, and a
for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is all
that is required. 1t makes an abundance
of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thor
ough1y, and rinses out easily. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and is soft,
fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy, and
easy TO handle. Besides, it loosens and
takes out, every particle of dust, dirt and
dandruff.

KEOKUK POST
GETS CHARTER
keokuk Post Of the American Legion
Receives Notification Of the
Granting Of Charter
Soon.
CHAIRMAN IS COMING

Started.
CHAIRMAN Is COMING

The Keokuk post of the American
Legion has been granted charter.
according to word received this
morning by L. G.. Mckinley, temper
airy secretary of the organization
here. The number of the Keokuk
post will be Al.
No information was given to indi-
cate whether this means that 1t Is
the forty-first chapter to be granted
in Iowa, but those who are closely in
touch with the work are Of the
opinion that such is the case.
In reply to the action at the meet
ing at which the application was
signed to hold the charter open until
the next meeting, the secretary Of
the state organization stated that
space was reserved on the charter
for a limited number Of names, but
did not state how many can be
placed upon 1t. He expressed the
opinion that arrangements could
probably be made to place the addi-
tional names that will be secured at
the next meeting.
Another letter from John j. Seer
ley. Jr., one of the chairmen for the
first district Of Iowa, stated that
either Mr.. Brookhart or Mr.. Seerley
will be in Keokuk tomorrow to give
any possible aid In the organization
of the post here.

OF HOT PAN
INTO THE FIRE
As Soon as Judge Wade Gets Through

This is case OF getting out OF a
hot frying pan into the IRE, for two
negroes in Jail here.
Frank Welch, who with James Rob

fever Friday night with suit case
full OF whisky, was brought before
United States Commissioner Sprowls
yesterday afternoon, and like his
companion, was anxious to plead
guilty to transporting liquor into q
dry state.
Since the hearing OF his companion
Saturday it has been determined
that their stock of wet goods was OF
the same brand as that stolen from
"a saloon in Quincy last week 1t is
probable that the negroes think that
by pleading guilty under the federal
statute they can escape punishment
for their crime in Illinois.
The Quincy officials say, however.
that they will be waiting for them
when they have settled their score
with the federal government This
will consist Of as much as six months
in Jail or a $1,000 fine, or both, as
the court sees fit 10 direct.
The story told by Welch agrees
with that of his companion in most
Of the particulars. But he got
tangled up on the time they spent in
| Canton, and finally admitted that
they spent an entire day there in
stead OF catching a train out imme-
diately. This weakness in his story
means that they would have had
plenty OF time between their first
departure here and their return to
60 to Quincy and get back here.

At the Postal office, the manager is

The Postal wires through here
seemed TO be working well this morn
ing and no difference from any other
day could be observed.
The Keokuk office of the Western
Union. as usual, took from Chicago
the accumulated messages of the
previous night at O'clock this
morning. without delay nor noticing
any difference from other days, the
manager said.

Since Burleson took over the tele-

both companies has been anything
but adequate on account OF the
orders issued from Washington.
The uptown offices are both closed
at o'clock in the evening, before
dark, and reopened at Z o'clock in
the morning. During the entire
night, Keokuk is entirely cut off
from telegraph communication with
the rest OF the world for all prac-

The federal government sent Han
cock county four Hun helmets. They
were offered TO the school children In
the county OF the eighth grade and
high school classes, who would write
the four best essays on why the fifth

1t was an inspiring sight to see a

enjoying themselves and making
things lively at the same time.
During the afternoon an excellent
Program was given by the girls from
the different townships of Hancock
county. In addition to this, the Boys

What Ono Woman Does.


The entire celebration was a suc-
cess. Tuesday was real Pollyanna
day. for everyone there did her best
to make everyone else happy and glad
and succeeded!
A great deal Of the credit for this
unusual event belongs to Mrs. Mary
IL. Aleshire Of Plymouth. She has
been the chairman Of all the war-work
done by the women of Hancock coun.
ty, and 1t was she who planned the
picnic Tuesday.
Mrs. Aleshire has been the head and
heart Of the county Y. w. c. A. work
for Illinois. She loves every girl in
Hancock county and wants to make
them happy at this camp In July, she
says, and she deserves all the sup
port which her county has given her
il. the past in all her undertakings,
and all that she expects of them In
the future, everybody else says.
She was assisted yesterday in the
play of the day by Miss Wilma Haynes

The picnic yesterday was a sample
OF the good times the girls of Han
cock county may expect at their camp

The Big Camp During July.
Fred Tweston has donated his grove
as site for this camp. 1T adjoins the
grounds belonging to the Lakeview
club and is an ideal place for a sum
mer outing.
The camp will accommodate four
hundred girls, taking one hundred
girls for each week In the month. The
girls who attend the camp for pleas
ure only. will be allowed just one
week Of it, but those girls who wish to
enlist In the courses for playground
work and first-aid work will be per
mtt,ed to live at the camp for the
entire month.
Miss Florei Eutenener has been
chosen as the athletic director for the
camp. Miss Won Zelle Murphey will
have charge of the music, and Mrs.
