In considering problems connected

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 sham
pOOs contain too much alkaH. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brit
tie, and is very harmful Mulsifed
cocoanut oil shampoo (which is
pure and entirely greaselessl. is
much better than anything else you
can use for shampooing, as this
can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls of Mulsified will make
an abundance of rich, creamy latl
er and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The Iather rinses ont
easily and removes every particle Of
dust, dirt, dandrHff 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 Mulsiffed cocoanut
oil shampoo at most any drug store.
II Is very cheap, and a few ounces
is enough to last everyone in the
family for months Be sure ynar

Flournay Cousin, negro. burn
ed to death in his bed at 1522IA
Third ayenue, Moline, Sunday night
while other occupants OF the room
ing house slept undisturbed ia
quarters adjoining those in which
the unfortunate man persisted.
The tragedy was not discovered
until last night, when one of the
rooners, John Banks, became curl
Gus about Cousin and went to visit
him. He found his friend lying face
down ON the bed.
Cousin was dead. The clothing
had been burned from his body,
which had also been severely burn
ed. There was nothing left of the
bed except the springs and the bare
frame. Except for q suspicion, no
enc knew OF fire until Banks told
about it last night. A few room
ems at the house had smelled smoke
Sunday night, had investigated
briefly without success and had re-
turned to bed
Ted Anderson, merchants po-
iiceman. also detected smoke when
he made his rounds Sunday night
He also investigated, but failed to
find . fire. Some occupants of the
rooming house declared Cousin was
under influence of liquor when ne
retired Sunday and they added that
he took a bottle OF whisky to bed
with him.
A verdict declaring death due to
burns accidentally incurred was re-
turned by the coroner's jury.

coal last spring when there was
danger OF a miners strike. Since
that time the amount has been
steadily increased until at present
the company has twice as much

This is considered particularly
fortunate just now in view of a
threatened railroad strike The
power plant in Moline Is one of the
largest of its kind in the country
and a shortage of coal there would
mean the cutting OF of power from

PRICE OF LAND TOO HIGH
TO BE GOOD
EAR RMING INV ECINE IN

AS a result of the phenomenal ad-
vance in Iowa land values during the
spring and summer of 1919, the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture, in cooperation with the
Iowa State College Of Agriculture,
made an investigation, which shows
that the prices at which farm land
was sold in many sections of that
State were too high to justify the
returns whcih can be made from it,
1t was found that the average value
of Iowa farm lands increased $121
per acre in the five years from 1915
to 1920, and that 500 of this in
crease occurred between March 1919
and March 1920, the twelfth month
inelud ng the period of the boom
Over 65 per cent Of the buyers and
over So per cent Of the sellers were
farmers, while contrary to general
belief perhaps, less than per cent of
the buyers and but a little over II
per cent of the sellers were real es-
tate men. The facts relative to the
per cent of return on investment in
these lands which were brought cut
make it clear that they are valued
n excess of their earning capacity
The investigators point out that with
land paying but per cent on capi-
talization, and loans running at
per cent or more, buying a farm or
a large margin of credit is a diff cult
undertaking for the farmer Of aver.

POLICE For THE FARMER


Representative Hadring of Warren
county, has introduced in the House
a bill to provide three companies Of
Ohio rural police to patrol country
roads and make life safe for the
farmer.
This measure should pass.
Today no citizen of the state has
less protection than the farmer.
Usually his home is isolated. The
nearest police official is miles away.
Frequently he might just as well be
off the earth, for by the time he is
summoned and arrives the culprits
have flown.
The farmer is exposed to every de-
gree of plupdering and outrage. His
crops, his horses, his automobiles are
stolen. Not infreqHeatly his house IS
burg larized. He is the criminals
easy prey.
Cities are provided with large po-
lice forces, The state militia is held
N reserve to protect the public from
mob violence and rieting. But for
the farmer is reserved the village con-
stable and the sheriff.
We went a long ways to make the
world safe for democracy.
But we've sadly overlooked the
farmer.
Let's make the country safe for
him
