The Agricultural Conference

The conference of farmers called by Secre-
tary Wallace at the suggestion of President
Harding will be one of the most important that
has assembled in Washington for some time.
Agriculture in this county and abroad is badly
demoralized and restoration of its prosperity IS
of vital importance to the whole world. A real
zation of the Importance of the agricultural in
dustry to the welfare of the whole country seems
to have taken possession of the official mind, and
same remedial plans are expected as result OF
the Washington conference.
In many quarters it is believed that the con-
ference should have been held many months ago.
The delay in calling conference probably was
due to lack of understanding of the real situa-
ton, or to disposition of mind which took for
granted that the farmer could extricate himself
from tight position without public co-opera-
ton and help.
1t is much better to take a sympathetic view
of the agricultural situation than to encourage
an apathetic attitude that will result in COM
plete prostration of that industry, which today,
as it always has been in the past is the very

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 alkali.
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
One or two teaspoonsful of mulsi
fled will cleanse the hair and scalp
thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair
with water and rub il in. 1t makes
an abundance of rich, creamy lather,
which rinses out easily, removing
every particle of dust. dirt, dandruff
and excessive 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 few ounces will supply
every member of the family for
months. Be sure your druggist gives
you Mulsified.-Ad

of our national prosperity and of our
individual welfare. If his industry is permitted
to languish, the nation is neglecting the under
lying source of its wealth.
If the Washington conference succeeds in
giving to the agricultural situation the necessary
relief and betterment, the reaction upon the
whole business of the country will be immed-
ate and salutary. Every farsighted business
man is glad that President Harding called the
conference and hopes that the causes for the
stagnation of the farming industry will be dis
cussed and remedies found that will restore it to
a flourishing condition
Secretary Wallace believes that this year will
be better one for the farmers. The paralyzing
effect of the sudden drop in prices, he believes
is wearing off and farmers are looking to the
future hopefully.
Congress has indicated willingness to
enact such legislation as promises to be helpful"
he said few days ago.
Farmers are coming to see more clearly that
the task of putting farming on a sound basis is
really up to them and that through organization
they can reduce marketing costs. In this they
will have increasing help from the department of
agriculture and the various state agricultural col
leges which now understand they must give the
farmer the same sort of help in marketing that
they have given him in production.
Everything considered, therefore, we can
enter the new year in spirit of hopefulness and
good cheer. | see nothing which indicates boom
times for the farmer in the near future but
there does seem to be promise of better times
both for the farmer and those whose business is
largely dependent upon him."
