STATE HOUSE
Meeting 10 A. NJ Wednesday

United States. few though they were
numerically. did their share toward
winning the war. The part they
took in the various campaigns for the
raising of war funds was mos.
commendable one. while their actiy.-
ties along other lines. in investiga-
ton. IN messenger service. in doing
work. in looking after the welfare OF
the homes. were no less notable.
Il hope that the coming week will
see a great increase in the member
ship of this most valuable organiza-
ton. Maine has only few over
1000 members of the Boy Scouts, and
Yet there are 74.337 lads between the
ages of II and q who are eligible to
membership. Many of these are. Of
course, working. but the Scout
movement is as good for the working
boy as it is for the one in school,
1t stands for honor. sound morality.
respect for law and love of country
all those qualities that go into the
making of good citizens.
Il am afraid there has been too
little attention paid to the Scouts by
the groun-ups. l hope the men o:
the State. and the women, too. viii.
use their efforts for the encourage
ment of enlistments. There are
Scouts who can do things no man of
40 can. Men should train themselves
to he Scout leaders. Not only should
they do this for the sake of their
boys. but for their own benefit l
hope that at the end of next week
instead of 1000 Scouts Maine will
have 10000 at least"

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. Mulsified cocoanut
oil shampoo (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless), is much better
than anything else you can use for
shampooing, as this can't possibly
injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub 1t in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abundance
rich. creamy lather. and cleanses
.,e hair and scalp thoroughly. The
iather rinses out easily. and removes
every particle of dust. dirt. dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly. and 1t leaves 1t
fine and silky. bright. fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo at most any drug store. It
is very cheap. and a few ounces Is
enough to last everyone in the family
for montho,-Adv.

honor of being the oldest man in
town, since the death of Joseph
Smith. the former owner of the cane.
The town fathers took the cane to

with Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Parsons on
Burrell hill and there with due
ceremonies. presented it, after which
lunch was served. and then a social
chat with Mr.. Holway who is an iS-
teresting talker as he has kept
posted on all subjects Of the day and
can relate many interesting tales Of

Mr. Holway was born in Larone in

RESPONSIBILITY FOR
MERRILL'S CROSSING

The statement has been made,
since the recent fatal accident at the
so-called Merrill's Crossing in Tops
ham. that the Highway Commission
had recommended that an underpass
be constructed at this crossing but
that the Public Utilities Commission
failed TO give the necessary permits
sion. The facts in the case in this
connection are as follows:
The Highway Commission on Feb
10. 1918. did petition that the grade
crossing in Topsham known as Mer-
rill's crossing be abolished and sub
mitted plans for the change of the
highway, three courses being laiu
out. the estimated cost being re-
spectively s30,472.75. $27.1so.13 and
s27.7S4o7.
The Public Utilities Commission on
April 16. 1918. gave a decision which
contained the following:
That the petition be dismissed.
for the reason that upon investiga-
ton, it appears that granting the
same would result in exceeding the
appropriation made by the State for
the purpose mentioned and the
statute under which these proceed
ings are brought"
All of which simply means that no
money was available for the abolish
ment of the crossing. although every
one agreed that it was a dangerous
place and should receive attention.
The Public Utilities Commission
had previously-on Oct. 9, 1911
issued the following order, based on
the recommendation Of Chief In
spector Elmer E. Parkman. who had
inspected this as well as all other
grade crossings in the State:
