The latest outcropping of the case
is the announcement that tomorrow
night a benefit performance is to be
given by Mrs. McCloy in the Harris
theatre, New York, for the purpose
of raising money to aid the OutcaI'
veterans camp.
Still believing that the organiza-
Ition Mrs. McCloy represents is ir-
responsible and that the existence OF
|such a veterans concentration camp
in this county is against the best IN
I~terests of the county, American Lee
lgion, County Chairman, Joseph Il.
.Decgan, has taken up omorro
nights proposed benefit perfor-
nance with the New York City
American Legion organization. He
has presented full data on the sub
iect to the service division and *
pccts the New York Legion to come
out in active opposition today or to-
morrow.
The Outcalt camp consists OF a
twenty acre tract leased by Mrs. Nc
Cloy in her own name, Chairman

eral buildings formerly used for a
s"anatorium and which now mousse
the remaining veterans gathered in
by the society. At n time there
were thirty-five men but the number
is now reduced to about fifteen.
While the American Legion of
Middlesex county firmly opposed the
establishment of tho camp and re-
fused to contribute to it's support, it
furnished transportation back home
to a number of drifters discovered
in the ranks of veterans at the camp
and still stands ready to send pen
niless men to their homes. One man
was sent to Texas, one to Scotland,

Alkali In Soap
Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully
if you want to keep your hair looking
its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much aikali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle,
and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo (which
is pure and greaseless), and is better
than anything else you can use.
Two or three ~teaspoonfuls of Mulsi-
fled in a cup or glass with a little warm
water is sufficient TO cleanse the hair
and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten
the hair with water and rub it in. 1t
makes an abundance of rich creamy
lather. which rinses out easily. remov-
ing every particle of dust. dirt, dand-
ruff and excess oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly. and it leaves the
scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky,
bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get Mulsified %cocoanut oil
shampoo at any pharmacy, it's very
cheap, and a few ounces will supply
every member of the family for
months. Be SURF your druggist gives
you Mulsified.

SURPRISE DUE
EASTERNERS0 ON
MONTANA CROPS
St. Paul Banker Says Yields
Better Even Than
Reports.

Bankers and business men of the
middle west and east are due for q
big surprise when the threshing re-
suits from Montana come in, accord
ing to j. G. Barta, secretary of the
Capital Trust & Savings Bank of st.
Paul, who arrived in Great Falls Tues
day night after an automobile trip
| through eastern and central Montana
with j. L.. Humphrey of Great Falls.
state manager of the company.
Although it is generally known by
business men of the Twin Cities and
eastern points that there is a good crop
in the state, the heavy yields are 60
ing to be a big surprise, Barta said.
II have made the trip through Mon
tana in other years, in 1919 and 1920
said Barta. Comparing the fields ]
have seen in this trip with my former
to be a tremendous crop. Everywhere,
people are having big yields.
The wheat growers of the south
ern part of the state have not yet be-
gun the harvest on an extensive scale,
but we heard no complaints of a labor
shortage and the indications were that
there will be men as the call comes
from the harvest fields.
THE railway situation offers some
thing Of a problem to the grain men.
but i am confident that this will be
greatly cleared within the next few
DAYS. At the st. Paul shops Of the
railways and the st. Cloud shops of the
Great Northern, / am old that there
are the normal forces at work and
these shops are turning out many
cars that will be available for the
demands of the wheat shipper.
Good as are the crops this year, ]
do not believe that they will be suf-
ficient to place Montana farmers in
many cases entirely in the clear. 1t
will take continued effort and con-
tinued hard work with the reward of
good crops to do that. The only way
that Montana will beat her way back is
to walk with care at this time.
The tendency is going to be when
the money comes in to spend 1t for
new cars, for this for that-pleasant
things to have. but not necessities. If
that proves the case, / can not but see
that there will be foreclosures and that
banks that have had money loaned for
n long time will have to protect them
selves"
In his trip, some of the finest fields
he saw Barta said, were those east OF
Great Falls towards the Highwoods.
Barta will continue this morning to
Missoula, accompanied by Humphrey
who will preside at the state sessions
Of the Montana Farm Mortgage Bank
ers' association. Several bankers of
the city will also leave for Missoula
meetings of the state bankers asso-
citation. A special car will bring Q
large group If bankers frop st. Paul
and Minneapolis to the Mo&ana meet
ing, Barta announced.

A flow of gas, estimated by reports

wal struck by the Rainbow Oil com

well had showings Of oil. these show
ings being also found in the Rainbow
well.
Should this gas prove similar to
1853 W, it will mean much in the
development of plants for the re-
covery of the gas, he said. Recovery
by the absorption process is practlced
with satisfactory results in Wyoming
fields. where the gasoline content is
three-tenths of a gallon for each thou
sand cubic feet, whereas tests have
shown the Louis well gas to carry a
half gallon a thousand.
The heavy rains have made travel

The Gladys Belle well on section

With the crop harvest in Montana
a week nearer completion, the most
sanguine reports of several weeks ago

been found unjustifiable and in some
sections of the state production has

Livingston, Aug. 15.-A new species
of grasshopper has been discovered at
Cooke City in this county. The new
pest is said to be a deadly destroyer

Professors F. S. Cooley and J. r

lege at Bozeman are now at Cooke

The strange insect is said TO have
been observed first near G~rasshopper

announced that insects, frozen in ice
for hundreds of years in the glacier
were not grasshoppers at all but an
unclassified insect. Specimens of the
insects were recently taken from the
glacier and shipped to Washington,

and considering the fact that the ele-
vators are leased for the ensuing year
at a figure that may pay the expenses
OF the receivership, it is the auditors
unbiased opinion hat more than 71.92
per cent will be available for unsecured
creditors.
Three Plants Sold
Stock notes amount to $69, 55O.17,
and of this amount. $780, 900 has been
set up as a possible realization which
appears conservative as approximately
$4,000 of them are in the nature OF
judgments and renewed notes.
1.-Two or three elevators were sold
during the year at more than their
deprecated value, SO it is reasonable
to assume that most of them would
sell at a figure somewhere around their
deprecated value. Taking into conside-
ration the fact that there is a posi-
bility of a good crop this year at the
various stations it would appear to the
auditor that if the proper party could
be interested the whole line could be
sold at a figure in excess OF the
amount hsrein set up as a realiza-
ton.
Expenses for the year may seem
a little large but that is accounted for
partly by running the elevators prior
to lease being given to the Northern
Grain and Warehouse company. and
partly by efforts made at %reorganiza-
ton. The expense for the latter six
months has been cut to the minimum.
1t is gratifying to know that even now
the unsecured creditors have an in
terest of 1892 per cent on the dollar.
The deficiency is approximately $4,000
and if the Lion Bonding company bond
of $40. 900 could have been collected,
the unsecured creditors could have
been paid dollar for dollar"
