Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

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 greaseless}, is much better than
anything else you can use for sham
pooling, as this can't possibly injure
the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoon
fuls of Mu1sified will make an abund-
ance of rich. creamy lather, and
cleanses the hair and scalp thorough
ly. The lather riIlses 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 a few ounces is
enough to last everyone in the family
for months. Be sure your druggist
gives you Mulsified.-Adv.

First Time
In 80 Years
He Is Absent

Today is the first time in thirty-nine
years that A. X Wilson OF. Topeka,
grand secretary of the Masonic grand
lodges of the state, is not attending
the state conclave. Mr.. Wilson is con-
valescing from a serious operation
performed in January-an operation
from which he was not expected. at
one time, to recover.
Thirty-nine years ago A. K. Wilson
was elected to the position of grand
secretary In all these years he has
been a familiar and almost indispens-
able figure at the state meeting. Re-
ports from Wichita today indicate
that only the absence of "A. X" mars

{ Located in South Dakota

The coupe, belonging to Thomas
Elwood, which was stolen Tuesday
evening 'of last week while Mr.. Ell
wood was attending the social func-
tion at the Legion Hall, has been
located in South Dakota. 1t has
been learned that two young men
had stolen car at Greenfield. To-
wa, and headed this way but were
forced, by engine trouble, to aban-
don it when near the Howard Nc
Call place. They then came on to
Extra and swiped the Elwood car
which was parked on the street
and resumed their journey to far
away lands. 1t is understood that
they left the Elwood car near Dell
Rapids, South Dakota because of
the burning out of the connection
in the auto, capturing another car
there and at last reports they were
still at large.

FIRE DESTROYS
POULTRY STATION
Early Morning Blaze Be
.yOnd Control Before Cit
liens are Aroused

Our people were awakened from
Sheir slumbers at $3.50 O'Clock
Wednesday morning by the furious
ringing of the fire bell. Startled,
shey issued into the street to dis
cover the location of the blaze.
The poultry station a few doors
west of this office was found to be
in flames. Tongues of fire were
issuing from the whole length of
the structure.
The fire boys were on the ground
IN an incredibly short time but the
fire had gained too much headway
before the alarm was given and the
building was almost consumed
upon their arrival on the scene.
The wall next the street is all that
rs left to show where it stood.
By strenuous efforts, Joe Shaw's
residence next door was saved, al
though damaged to some extent.
The windows on the east were
broken by the heat, and the out
side wall scorched and discolored.
The origin Of the fire is mys-
terry. No one was in the building
and it seems incredible that fire
could have smoldered in dry
wooden building so many hours
and then so suddenly enveloped
the building.
Fortunately a shipment had
been made the previous day and
there were no chickens in the
building, consequently the loss
was mot so heavy as it would
otherwise have been. There was
some insurance. Northup & Nor
thup will erect modern, up-to-
date produce station upon the
site.

INSTANTLY KILLED BY
KICK FROM HORSE
Father of Ten Children Met
Tragic Death at Home
North of Adair

George Faga, a farmer of Audu-
bon township, living near the Ger
man Lutheran church east of
Extra, was kicked in the forehead
by a horse Saturday and instantly
killed.
Mr.. Faga has long been a resi-
dent of Audubon county and has
been one of the family of Journal
readers for many years. His
death was a shock to his family
and friends, and leaves vacancy
which no other can fill.
He leaves a wife and ten chill
dren, three of whom are married,
besides numerous friends, to
mourn his untimely end.
Funeral services were held at
the home Sunday at 2:3O, con-
Quoted by Rev. Deletzke, pastor
of the German Lutheran church,
and he was laid to rest in the Ger
man Lutheran cemetery.

Large Crowd Attended
Military Funeral Sunday

Impressive military funeral SER
vices were held in the Presbyterian
church in Audubon Sunday after
noon over the remains of Thomas
Melville Rutherford who was
killed in action in France.
The capacity of the church was
overtaxed. The great crowd sat
in serious silence to catch every
word Of the beautiful sermon so
replete with coincidence for the
bereaved which Rev. William
Mack delivered from the following
text taken from John 1913:
"Greater love hath no man than
this, that a man lay down his life
for his friends"
Six uniformed pallDearers walked
beside the hearse as the long pro-
cession slowly wended it's way to
Arlington Heights where the re-
mains were solemnly lowered into
grave on a green hillside over
looking the dead hero's old home
town. After a salute was fired
over the grave, the bugler stepped
forward and blew the last sad call
which echoed among the hills and
died out far away over the fields
of waving corn.

CHRISTIAN CHURCH

The announcement which | sent
from Hepburn promising to be
back in the pulpit on next Sunday
calls for this further announce
ment, owing to uncomfortable cir
cumstances. Having. received a
message on Tuesday to come to
Winterset on business, | returned
to Extra Wednesday evening in
tending to make the trip on Thurs
day in time to return before Sun
day. Telephone communication
Wednesday night and Thursday
morning revealed the fact that
nothing could be done before Sat-
urday, but that there should be no
further delay. Consequently, it is
necessary for me to be in Winter
set Saturday in connection with
estate matters. If the weather
and roads are such that l may be
able to make the trip by auto, l
shall be able to be back for the
Sunday services but if not l may
not be able to get through our
business in time to get back by
train. l am sorry to have to
make this announcement but see
no alternative.
