opportunity we nu2. first recall that
we need more school room on the west
side. and in a comparatively short
time, will need it badly. With that in
view the city, few months ago. rur-
chased a valuable tract Of land. This
property is alongside the State Park
and ideally situated for school and
park purposes.
Some day in the not distant future
the State will make Of the State Park
such an attractive spot as it deserves
and invites. Then the school proper
ty value will be enhanced thereby. 1t
is the Capital Cirys proposition-to
something fo- ether cities to admire
and emulate to secure from the State
as will add attractiveness and useful
ness to it. Once more. We repeat the
suggestion often made in the last ten
years, that the State Park should be
made inviting and convenient for
school and other visiting delegations
or conventions in warm weather, and
for winter games and sports. We
still hope it will come.
And then, what Of the s.:,ool park
adjoining? Here are acres for
school buildings AID park; wading
pool. sand pits. swings. and all the
equipment for the modern play
ground: base ball field, tennis courts,
skating and coasting facilities. Why
not a Memorial School Building. with
Honor Roll" tablets and. perhaps, a
public meeting room or rooms. as be-
ing prepared in other cities, and
around the park Memorial Trees for
those who have paid the supreme
price
This is suggestion for considera-
ton in whole or in part. If others
have better ones let us have them for
talking over--for the boys are coming

Cocoanut Oil Fine
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 mulsi-
fled cocoanut oil (Which Is pure and
entirely Greascicss). is much better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use for shampoo
ing. as this can't possibly injure the
hair.
Simply moisten your hair with wa
ter and rub it in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance of
rich, creamy lathcr. and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The lath-
er rinses out easily, and removes ey-
cry particle Of dust, dirt, dandruf
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 mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap. and Il few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for
months.-Adv.
