There Is considerable opposition to
the proposed bono issue, but II that IL

Is contended, can be built from the auto
tax and the one-mill tax also provided
in the bill. 1t was tentatively agreed
at the Chamber Of Commerce confer
ence that the chamber would support

farmers in some localities are ready to
fight the BOND issue, but the legisla-
ture, in the opinion Of T, b, King,
chairman OF the good roads committee
Of the Chamber of Commerce, will work
out and pass the bill with some prob
able changes.
Mr.. King himself drew a bill which
has been introduced in both houses, un-
der which communities in any county
may lay off road districts and issue
bonds for the building Of roads in such
counties. The bill is almost Identical
with the similar road law in Missis-
sippi, but so drawn as In the opinion
Of lawyers who have looked over the
preliminary draft, as to be Constitu"
tional in Tennessee.
The committee of the general assem-
bly, which has the new good roads bill
in charge has estimated that even with
out the $50, 900, 900 bond issue, the state
would collect a sufficient tax to amount
to possibly 1900, 900 a year which
would be supplemented by about two
thirds OF that amount from the general
government. making available $5,OOO,O 900
a year for road building.

The Bolsheviki are trying many ruses.
In the woods where the allied patrols

best. Most soaps and prepared sham =
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp. makes the hair brittle,
and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use Is just
ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (Which
is pure and greaseless), and is better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub 1t
in. 1t makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather. which rinses out easily,
removing every particle of dust, dirt,
dandrutf and excessive oil, The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and 1t leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at
any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and a
few ounces will supply every member OF
the family for months. adv.
