The best way is to divide the front
and back hair into from four TO six
strands and to moisten each strand
separately from root TO tip.

ROCK ISLAND
Is INTERESTED
Railroad II Said to BE Looking for
Chance to Get in on Petch's Nau-
WOO Interurban and Link Up
With St Louis.

NAUvOO. ILL.,, March 15.--It iii
generally rumored here that the Rock
Island system is behind the move
ment promoted by c. H. Petsch Of
Minneapolis. to construct an electric
line between East Fort Madison and
Nauvoo, for which subscriptions are
now being taken. 1t is claimed the
Rock Island system wants to get into
st. Louis from Burlington, running
on the Illinois side OF the river. The
installation Of such line would open
up territory that would be valuable
to that great railroad and give them
an excellent north and south route
into the Missouri metropolis.
That the rumor that the Rock
Island Railroad company is seeking
an entrance into ST. Louis from Bur-
lington via NauVoo is within reason,
was the belief expressed by railroad
men here last night, but they regard
such move, If it ever happened, to
be years distant They declared,
however. that through the building Of
such a line the Rock Island would
establish a valuable feeder to it's
east and west main line while max.
ing important connections with it's
lines here.
1t is also known that the Rock
Island Railroad company has har-
bored such route into St Louis.
This is partially proven by the fact
that it now routes thorugh passenger
trains over the Burlington railroad
from st. Paul unto st. Louis. But the
freight traffic would be the greatest
advantage in such a line
c. H. Petsch, the promoter men
toned, has been working for years in
trying to connect. Nauvoo, which is
without a railroad, with East ForI
Madison, hamlet on the Santa Fe
across from Fort Madison. Local
railroad men contend that if such a
line is completed it will in time be
sought after as a branch by some OF
the large railroad systems as it
enters good territory.

February 20, 1920, at the age of rs
years. Mr.. Stone came to Iowa and
engaged in business as local editor Of
The Gate City at Keokuk in 1868. He
removed in 1879 to PEORIA Ill, where

and has made this his home until the
time of his death.
In 1870 Mr.. Stone was united in
marriage to Miss Ella M. Knight, a
sister of Miss Elizabeth A.. knight
and Mrs. Virginia knight Logan, who
/ together Win MIS-. olOue, SURVIVE
him. Mr.. Stone comes Of Scotch
Presbyterian ancestry, with which
church he was identified as a member
for many years. He loved the noble

exchange for the permanent bond
when it is ready for delivery.
The First Bond.

In making exchanges on the first
and second As. the treasury depart
ment has ruled that deliveries of per
manent bonds will consist of first
and second AVS, unless the holder
specifically requests otherwise. As
there is no advantage in possession
of the per cent bonds. it is expected
that by making exchanges in this
manner they Will be practically elirni,
mated from the market
Of the first 31a per cent Liberty loan
bonds to the per cent bonds of the
Second Liberty loan. The second As
are the original second loan. There
is every advantage in converting
these to the AZ per cent bonds OF
the third Liberty loan. as they retain
their original maturity dates.
The first As have been without an
interest coupon since last December;
the second As since November. This
interest will be fully adjusted on the
exchange into permanent bonds.
With these issues out Of the way,
there remains only two of the gov
eminent war issues to be exchanged
into permanent bonds. These are the
fourth 4A's, the original bonds on
the fourth loan, which will be ex-
changed October Is next, when their
final interest coupon natures, and
the first second AS. the first Lib.
erty loan converted to the second
loan and thence to the third. These
will be exchanged December Is next.
Bonds of the first Liberty loan
were issued In original form when
originally put out. Both classes of
Victory notes. the AXIS and ANS,
also have interest coupons attached
running to maturity.

New jerseys Attack.

! WASHINGTON, March 15.-The
supreme court today granted the ap-
lplication of New Jersey to institute a
suit in the high tribunal attacking
constitutional prohibition.
! The court granted the state permits
sion to file bill Of complaint against
federal government officials, charged
with the enforcement of prohibition
| The proceedings are similar to those
brought by Rhode Island, which are
now awaiting the final decision of the
court.
Chief Justice White asked the gov
eminent and New Jersey to expedite
argument in this case, expecting that
final decision on the Rhode Island and
other cases already argued would be
delayed until the New Jersey suit is
heard. .'
| The government then asked that the
New Jersey and other appeals reach
| ing the court, be heard Monday,
March 20.
| Four more appeals attacking con-
Institutional prohibition were submitted
to the court today and the government
Joined with the liquor forces in asking
that arguments also be advanced to

A new angle of attack appeared in
an appeal of William G. Street, New
York, who seeks to have the Lincoln
Safe Deposit Co. prevented from re-
moving his liquors from their vaults
under provision of the Volstead law,
suhjecting all personal liquor to sci
lzure unless it Us kept in a private

of a large brewery Corporation.

The object of the proceedings is to
knock out the prohibition amendment
and the Volstead enforcement law. A
permanent Injunction restraining the
federal government from enforcing
prohibition in New Jersey Is asked in
the bill of complaint.
The basis OF the complaint was
that prohibition was not a valid sub.
ject for constitutional amendment
and that it infringed on state SOW
ereignty. The case probably will be
heard before March 20, as the court
takes a recess on that date.
