THIS SOLDIER
GRAVES HOME
Is in the Engineers and Finds the
Hardest Work Coming After
tho Armistice Is
Signed.

The erroneous idea that as soon as
the armistice was signed, the war was
over, and everybody could instantly
leave the sword for the plowshare, OF
the home garden, is not confined to
home folks on this side Of the Allan
tic, evidently.
Some Of the soldiers are reported
to have become very homesick and
q letter received by Miss Mary Wolf,
of 1127 Main street, from her brother
here and now in the goth engineers,
Corroborates this.
"Since the armistice was signed, we
Rave been around saw mills, building
new ones and putting railroads across
land that is mostly swamp" he writes
and then describes cutting timber for
lumber and repair work on roads.
While watching for the sailing lists
posted to include their regiment, he
says:
1--WE wait and no sailing list IS COM
ii e. but instead another bulletin stat
ing we have done our WORK well-but
tere is more work to do and we must
wait. Having done this, our sailing
is on the knees of the gods.
He said they are now forbidden to
shout in the mess hall: 1--WE want
to go home. To hell with the roads.
Our roads need it more than these. y

Those communities where the Vic

Alkali in Soap
Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully, II
you want to keep your hair looking its
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 mulsifed cocoanut oil (Which
is pure and greaselcss), and is better
than the most expensive soap or any,
I thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub it
in. 1t makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out easily
removing every particle OF dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get nlulsifed cocoanut oil at
any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and few
ounces will supply every member OF the
family for months.

Governor McDougal's Letter.
The letter which has been sent t.
every bank in the seventh federal re
serve district by Mr.. Jas. B. Nc
Dougal, the governor of this district
follows:
Reports continue current, indi-
eating that in some communities
there is disposition on the part
of the banks to underwrite the
Victory Liberty loan without en-
gaging in an intensive popular
campaign.
May ! take this opportunity to
impress upon you the necessity
and the importance of securing
the widest possible distribution
of the Victory loan.
For this reason, should there
be a general disposition on the
Fart of banks to underwIits The
offering, the result would be
nothing snort OF puOiic caiaNh
ity.
On the other hand, with the
bonds lodged in the hands Of the
Iic-individuals, firms and
corporations-the banks will be
left in strong position to meet:
First: Future temporary re-
quirements of the government,
which we are officially advised
must be met through continue
ton of the sale of treasury GER
tificates of Indebtedness; and
Second: The legitimate and in
creasing requirements for gen.
eral business purposes.
Success in full measure can
only be attained through a wide,
general distribution of the Vic
tory loan, and we earnestly re-
quest your efforts with view
to achieving this end.

WHY EGGS WERE NOT FOUND
Commission Men Discover Farmers
Were Selling only Hens Which
Were loafing on Job.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
When Missouri entered upon her
vigorous poultry culling campaign she
unawares deprived the commission men
of a considerable source Of profit.
They had formed the habit Of taking
as "clean velvet the eggs USUALLY
from one to two dozen In each crate),
laid en- route from the country to the
central market.
This winter, when the manager Of
one Of the poultry firms which buys
the surplus from Missouri focks no
ticed that his boys" were not turning
in the customary number Of "frees"
he at once suspected that someone
connected with the plant was appro-
priating the eggs.
He promptly started an investiga-
ton which reached all the way from
Chicago to Missouri before the guilty
party was found When the investiga-
tors reached Missouri they soon found
that the farm bureau of this and other
Missouri counties had been carrying
on an active poultry culling campaign
and that the farmers and poultrymen
were selling the buyers only the hens
which neither had laid or which were
now lOafing on their jobs.
The manager of the Chicago house
now knows why there Is such "slim
picking" in his crates.
