To Have Wavy Hair
Like Natures Own

Here's a brand new recipe of I'M
questioned merit, that you should
make note of, unless you are one of
the few possessors of naturally wavy
hair It's very simple, for all you
need do is to apply a little liquid sill
merine before doing up the hair-with
clean tooth brush-and in three
hours you will find this has dried in
the sweetest curls and waves i'm
aginable. They will be just like
Natures own, having no resemb.
lance to the effect produced by hot
iron, which is so obviously artificial
The application is really beneficial
to the hair and gives it that lively
lustre so much desired, AS it is SO
easy to obtain a few ounces of the
liquid silmerine from your druggist
sufficient to keep the hair curly for
many weeks-there's no reason now
for putting up with either that
straight, contrary hair or with the
curling iron nuisance. - Advertise
ment.

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 entire
ly greasless), is much getter than any
thing else you can use for shampooing,
as this can't possibly injure the hair
Simply moisten your hair with wa
ter and rub it in. One or two tea
spoonsfuls will make an abundance of
rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The
lather rinses out easily, and removes
every particle of dust, dirt dandruff
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
shampoo at most any drug store. 1t is
very cheap. and few ounces is
enough to last everyone in the family
for months. Advertisement.

PRICES SLIDING IN
| "a MIDWEST CITIES;
!. MANY SALES HELD

I CHICAGO, May 1S-A wave of
price cutting in retail clothing costs,
reaching from the Mississippi valley
to the Pacific coast, was reported to-
DAY. Dispatches from "a cities in that
territory told of promised reductions
in these necessities ranging from Is
per cent to minus profit.
Financial authorities here said that
the Indications were that the price de-
cline would be limited to ready to
wear clothing, principally women's
garments and silks. Shoes were in the
list affected.
Tight money and inadequate trans
portation facilities were cited among
the prime reasons for the mercantile
movement Delays in delivery of goods
in which much money had been tied
up, together with inability of farmers
to get grain and live stock to market
were said in many instances to have
worked a hardship on merchants.
An officer of one of the leading de-
partment stores of Chicago declared
that the price reduction now being re-
ported meant also that merchants
were trying to satisfy what he called
"a hysterical demand from the public
hor lower prices" These current re-
auctions, he said, might be only tenn
porary.
A financial authority here said that
81 reports of price cutting were depend
able they indicated tendency toward
a reduction in inventories. Though
they might be temporary, he said. 1t
was undoubtedly good, in that they
Suggested that merchants were going
ahead more cautiously. Sales are be-
Ding held under various names.

MAN BILL FAILS
Bill Fails of Favorable Action By
Committee OF Congress-Farmers
Disappointed.

Evidence of serious unrest and dis
appointment at the failure of the
Capper-Hersman bill to receive favor
able action by the committees of Con-
greS before which it has been pend
ing since last fall, was manifest at
meeting of farm organization repre-
ScntatiVeS, and Senator and Repre-
scntativcs Favorable to the bill, held
in the judiciary committee room, Sen
ate Office Building, March Both. This
Bill which is designed to lcgalizc CO.
operative marketing, has been given
wider approval and publicity by farm
ur:c;.nIZa, lions. and agricultural pco-
pie than any t''r' measure pending
in Congress sire the Daylight Saw
IN" law passed ever the Presidents
veto Ii It sur1n'r,.
Az the result OF this meeting rep
rc%cntntiTes Of the National Board of
Farm ORGANIZATIONS, the American
S Na,onai GsasEc S"vc Sent out ' no-
tees to thci, constituent members to-
day, notifying them that in spite of
I'LL efforts u, to this time this bill was
being ">mothcrcd in committces,' so
that they may take appropriate ac-
ton to impress, the necessity for this
Legislation on Senators and Represent
tativc>.
The arrest Of officers of milk pro-
duccrS' associations. the activities of
district attorneys, and the threats of
prosecution which have handicapped
cooperative organizations: in many
communities have brought about
condition which makes this legislation
imperative. The evidence is in hand
Of the holding back of many plans
for cooperative organizations which
could not fail to be of great benefit
to producers and consumers alike.
The claim that this bill is "class
legislation is completely met by the
reply that what the farmers ask is
to accord to their cooperative associ-
ations the same rights now granted
the joint stock companies under cor
poration law, so that farmers can
elect management to do for them
what is now done without question
by the management of great corpora
tions for their stockholders.
