GOVERNMENT MUST
Lose DIFFERENCE
IN WHEAT PRICE
Wheat To Be Sold At Price
Dictated By Law Of Sup
ply And Demand

Washington, Feb. 6.-While the
! farmer would be paid the 1926 gov
ernment guarantee for the 1919 wheat
! crop, the wheat would be sold to the
consumer at a price to be dictated bv
the law of supply and demand, under
legislation approved tonight by the
house agriculture committee. The gov
eminent would lose the difference be-
tween the purchase and sale prices.
With the government given absol-
ute control of the wheat market in
| the United States, members of the
committee said it would be difficult to
determine what would be the price if
the usual law of supply and demand
were in operation, but they thought it
would be based largely on the world
market price. Some witnesses have
testified at hearings before the COM
mittee have predicted world price of
$1.25 bushel.
Lose 81 Per Bushel.
On the basis of such price, the
government would stand loss of
about 81 a bushel, but committee
members would not venture a predict
ion as to what the total loss mifht
be as forecasts of the 1919 crop de-
pend upon many factors. The crop is
/, estimated now at about 1,0O0,000,OO0
bushels. The bill approved by the COM
mittee is a substitute for the present
ed by the food administration and de-
; partment of agriculture. 1t gives the
president discretionary powers to con-
tinue the present agency for handling
the wheat crop or create new one
and appropriates $1,000,000,000 as a
revolving fund to carry out the guar
antee.
Members of the committee believe
that regulatory body similar to the
food administration and a commercial
agency like the United States grain
corporation will be necessary to en-
able the government to take over the
dispose of the crop.
A licensing system similar to that
now in effect placing all agencies
handling wheat under government
control, is authorized by the bill and
whatever agency the president may es-
tablish will be given broad powers in
handling the crop and controlling ex-
ports of wheat.

Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

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 alkali. This dries the
scalp makes the hair brittle, and is very
harmful. Just plain mulsifed cocoanut
oil (Which is pure and entirely grease
less), is much better than the most ex-
pensiye soap or anything else you can
use for shampooing, as this can't pos
sibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls
will makefan abundance of rich, creamy
lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinscs out easily,
and removes every particle of dust, dirt
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get fnulsihed cocoanut oil at
most any drug store. It is very cheap
and few ounces is enough to last
everyone in the family for months.
