to pass without n grand celebration
in Nauvoo. And they were some
great doings here, too. The two
home bands were employed, barbe-
cues with beeves and porkers arrang-
ed. large floats on which girls dressed
in white, with red and blue ribbons,
representing the number of states
and the Goddess of Liberty; human
foot races and all kinds of games;
all kinds of shooting of fire crackers
and other noise making devices. And
then the celebration ended with a dis
play of fireworks and a grand ball in
the town hall. Those were the days
of real sport. Right after sunrise
our rural brothers and sisters began
arriving to spend the day with US and
enjoying our hospitality. The saloons
and business houses were gaily deco
rated with the stars and stripes and
bunting, and the wet goods houses did
an enormous business throughout the
day n evening. How dear to the
hearts of many remaining Nauvoo cit
liens are the scenes of those days Of
liberty and happiness, but which are
now beyond recall.
Only n of the four new business
overtures to be launched in Nauvoo,
has bloomed forth at this time. The
others may follow soon.
EVERYBODY who wants to be busy

now can be so in Nauvoo now, for
there is much work of various kinds
to do these days.
All in Nauvoo are ready for Mr..
Petsch to show his hand and make
the initial move to begin work on the
proposed interurban railway line from
Fort Madison through Nauvoo and on
to Keokuk. Nauvoo has lone her
financial part towards the enterprise
and we are promised hat the cars
will be running by Christmas time.
It looks like work ought to commence
soon if mat is the case,
Now is the time to begin swatting
the flies to keep down the prolific
crop that visits Nauvoo at this sea-
son of the year. Keep swatting and
don't wait for your neighbors to dc it
all.
The Nauvoo red and black raspber-
ry will follow right ON the heels of
the strawberry crop, but it is report
ed that this crop will also be pretty
short.
The young lads in Nauvoo are pat
ronizing the old swimming holes on
the lake shore almost every evening.
1t is too bad that Nauvoo cannot
have a fine bathing beach for there
are several ideal places here for that
purpose

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 sharnpoos
contain too much atkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the lair brittle, and is very
harmful. Mulsihed cocoanut oil sham
poo (Which is pure and entirely grease
1ess), is much better than anything else
you can use for sharrpooing, as this
can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls
viii make an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily,
and nov every particle Of dust. dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and 1t leaves
it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy
to manage
You can get Mulsifed cocoanut oil
shampoo at most any drug store 1t is
very cheap, and a few ounces is enough
to last everyone In the family for months.

Treasury Department Says Way to

Another big pay day is due June Is,
and the worlds greatest banker Is
the paymaster. Uncle Sam will turn
over to those who invested in Lib
erty bonds of the first and Victory
loan issues the huge sum OF $685.
52S,4 This is the amount of m
terest which will be paid to the
people Of the nation. In the seventh
federal reserve district, which com
prises the states OF Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Michigan and Wisconsin, the
Liberty band holders will receive an
aggregate Of $20,48s,497.
That interest is as good as cash,
and the tendency Of the times, with
the spending ogry, still going on, is
10 squander this interest, but the
wise man will ~reinvest this Liberty
working for him, according to w. 3.
Bosworth. executive secretary Of the
government savings organization Of
the seventh district. .
Everyone is complaining about the
high prices. but the people, as a
whole, do not seem to be willing 10
help bring down the H. C. L. We
must work and save. We must pro
duce more, but more important still,
as pointed out recently by R. C. Lett
ingwell, assistant secretary tof the
treasury, we must consume less. It
is not enough to save unless those
savings are safely invested and it Is
for this reason that the treasury de-
partment has adopted the issue of
savings securities, war savings
stamps, and treasury savings certin-
Gates, as a permanent policy.
THE wise person, with an eye 70
the future, will take this opportunity
on June Is, when the Liberty bond
investors Of the seventh district re-
osive their interest on the first and
Victory loan issues, to reinvest that
interest in war savings stamps or
treasury savings certificates. Now
that the treasury department has per.
mitted the purchase of the 800 and
$1,000 treasury savings certificates TO
be bought on the partial payment
plan, this Liberty bond interest TO

William Fox, Shirley Mason and Pearl Doles Bell are a strong combi- nation. This has been proven in vari- ous screen successes. Now another film hit has been produced by this trio -'Love's Harvest'-which forms the screen vehicle for Miss Masons ap- pearance at Loew's Bijou theatre for the weeks opening bill.
 Miss Mason's new silver sheet ve- hicle is said to be entirely worthy of her-and Miss Mason to be eminently worthy of portraying the heroine Of Peorl Doles Bells novel, His Harvest, of which it is a screen versian.
 It is a story of love and the stage in Paris and New York. First. a girl finds herself victim of her fathers cruel legacy in being bequeathed like any piece of property to man she has never seen; and later she has to choose between a man who has opened to her stage career and her obligation to man who loves her Miss Masons inn personation is said to be delightfully."- uipuant with moments of convincing seriousness and dramatic force.
 Although she has been on the stage since she was 4 years of age, Miss Ma on must be considered something of discovery At the age of 19 she is be- ing hailed by some critics as one of the most beautiful women of the screen.

New York, May 29.-The government derives more than $50,000,000 annually in revenue from brokers licenses ana stock transaction in New York, says William H. Edwards. collector of inter@ nal revenue for this district. Six thou- sand stock brokers, he said, pay H. cense tax of $50 and in addition a spe- cial tax of $100 or $150. according to the salable value of their seats on local exchanges.
 Of the 4,oo0 commission brokersl those who are members of an exchange where produce or other wares are trade in, pay yearly tax of $50. A tuo-cent tax on shares traded in on the stock exchange nets the govern- nlent several thousand dollars daily. Unlisted corporations having home cffice in the United States are subject to the original issue tax of cents a share on all stocks valued at $100 or fraction thereof.
 The monthly sale of documentary stamps averages $30o0, 900, more than half of which is in stamps of $1.000 de. nomination, or approxim ately 1,500 stamp sales for stock transactions, MT. Edwards said. To supply the demand a reserve supply of stamps valued at $10,000,000 always is maintained in the custom house vaults.

OVER OCEAN IN AIR
 FOR 5CENTSAM|[E|
Use of Helium Gas Has Done Away With Danger
 From Explosion

Cambridge, Mass, May 29-A dirig- passenger service between New York and San Francisco is project in which war department officials would like to interest capital. with view to having an air fleet immediately available in case of war, according to Prof. Harvey N. Davis of Harvard University.
 Prof. Davis is engaged in expert work on helium gas for the depart ment, and is designing a plant to be built at Langley field, Virginia. where the expensive gas, after use In the. military lighter-than- air craft may be washed free of impurities and used again. Estimates by Col. William N. Hensley of the war department indi- cate that it will be possible for pas sengers to go by airship overland at a cost of about 5 cents mile, at a speed of 6S to 70 miles an hour.
 "Ihe advent of the airship as a reg uiar passenger carrier is much nearer than many persons in this country realize" said Mir. Davis. q shall be surprised if the coming summer does not see a line of airships in opera tion by an English firm between the United States and the British Isles and I have no doubt whatever that year from now will see regular weekly sailings.
 "By the use of helium all danger of disaster from explosions such as have wrecked big balloons filled with hydrogen will be averted. There will be no fear of ignition of the gas by bullets, lightning or sparks from the engine. In fact. it is pointed out that the engines may be placed inside the outer shell of the dirigible. and that except for observation purposes no car need be carried outside the big bag"

 The Ferris Wheel is another attrac. ton that acts alike both for young and old. while the Whip is an amuse- ment which offers clean entertainment for all who try it.

By Associated Press

Leeds, England. May Sir Arthur Shirley Benn, who was head of the British mission to the international trade conference at Atlantic City last fall, has just told the members of the Luncheon Club that he believed the United States and Great Britain would continue to pull together" If so he said, he thought they and their allies would be able to reconstitute Europe and get back to former conditions of trade
 A great many people had said there was no chance of Great Britain and the United States pulling together, be- cause they were too much alike-too impetuous and aggressive. He did not believe it. He had known America since 1877 and had never known better feeling to exist between Eng land and America than exists today among the people who counted.
 There were in America, he said, pro- Germans Sim Feiners and others wild men who were trying to uproot the whole American constitution" There were people who were working, with pro-Germans and Sim Feiners, to do all they could against England. But they would not succeed. he said. The class of people in America who were rescended from Anglo Saxon stock were not going to give up the gov- ernment of the country to any mixed cosmopolitan body of people like the bolshevists and their class who were making the trouble in America today

 London, May 1.-The Archbishop of Canterbury has expressed his envy and amazement at the way in which Ameri cans are subscribing money to foreign missions abroad. He said at the an- nual meeting of the Society for Promo ton of Christian Knowledge that the finances of the society in this coun- try were really in perilous plight while across the Atlantic they some- how had genius for raising sums of money for charitable and religious ob- jects which put England to shame.
