REMEMBER AND HELP OTHERS
TO DO so

In present conditions one easily
may overtax his memory. There
are. however, certain things It
should profit us to remember and to
see to 1t that others bear them In
memory. Here are some Of them:
The oil lease situation should be
cleaned up. Investigation should be
thorough and dispassionate. Justice
should respond promptly and ef-
fectIvely.
We should remember that many.
many barrels Of liquor have been re-
moved from government ware
houses, that IT is time someone was
punished for this: let's not forget
that. nor permit the government to
forget IT.
We should remember that we are
more concerned in stopping boot
Logging than in deriving revenue
from fnlng bootleggers; there seems
to be some doubt of that in enforce
mont circles, but not in the public
mind.
We should remember that such a
report as that from the grand jury
on the Forbes scandal should not go
into a pigeonhole. that it will be a
shameful travesty of justice IL those
charges are not sifted to the bot
tom and the people be shown what
the siftings are.
We should remember that we are
living in the time of big wind of
denunciatlon, when some evidently
hope to get away under cover of the
noise, time which President Cool
idge declares is testing our citizenry.
We must not be too busy with
other matters. too much confused by
clamor, too engrossed with pleasure
or too bigoted by craftsmanship to
fail rs remember these things and
remind others, if it takes all sum-
mer.

A BUSINESS Man in the Sc
(The Optimist)

The farmer, the grocer and the
Gamer have q loyal and understand
ing champion in Senator Bert NJ.
Fernald of Maine. A successful far
mer, and Gamer, Senator Fernald is Il
business man of ability and eXper-
.ence-one of the few in the Senate
And he regards legislation from the
point of view of business man
rather than from that of lawyer.
AS a Gamer of Maine sweet corn,
lie has introduced his product
throughout the world. Maine canned
corn does not owe its enviable pres
tige so much to the favoring in
fluences of soil and climate as to the
successful preservation of the deli
cate fiavors of fresh corn achieved by
Senator Fernald and other leaders Of
the industry in that state, and to TIE
cleanliness which they havo estab
liShed.
Not only has he built up an i'm
portant business for himself. but lie
has largely aided in the develop
ment Of "A great industry, an indrs
try that supplies stable market for
the product of Maine farms and adds
greatly to the prosperity of the farm
ers and Of the whole community.
During his term as President of
the National Gamers Association he
originated the scientific resc arch
work of that organization and dill
much to increase it's strength and
prestige as well as to promote con-
structive publicity.
He has had broad experience in
public affairs. serving one term as
representative in the State IegIsla-
tire and two terms as State senator.
He was Governor of Maine in 1909
10 and has represented that State in
the Senate since 1916.
He is connected, either as chair
man or member. with various i'm
portant Senate committees, and is
very active on the Interstate Com
merce Committee. for which his
business training has admirably fit
ted him. He is well equipped to
deal with all commercial questions
and. as a matter of fact. would make
d great Secretary of Commerce.
Mr.. Fernald is the first senator to

WHAT ABOUT vALuArIoN7

Governor Baxter appears to have n
little pardonable curiosity respecting
the basis for tina government report
that In this State. where the popu-
Iaticn has increased but three per
cent. in a decade. the taxable pro-
perty has more than doubled. Most
Of us would like to know upon what
basis the government experts" have
figured It out.
The Governor Is right In caution,ng
against basing calculations on ficti-
tious values. The government should
be willing to cooperate with the
State to the extent at least Of i'm
parting its sources OF information so
we might do little figuring for our
selves. It would not be strange II
the Governor has some doubts re-
specting the accuracy Of this finding,
which does not show the increase in
nom taxable property for the like
period ~ great as he thinks there
are reasons to suppose it is.
He takes occasion to say that

FRANkNESS BETWEEN ENG
LAND AND FRANCE

While the French government un-
doubtedly has known all along the
cause of England's attitude on the
reparation problem, appreciates fully
the apprehension entertained by
English trade interests respecting in
roads into their old-time supremacy,
the frank statement Of the British
premier to the French premier should
help clarity the situation. The
French and English people should
by this exchange of views arrive
directly at better understanding of
the influences at work.
Macdonald frankly tells Poincare
that the English feel apprehension
respecting the military and aerial
establishments France is5 maintain
ing. the interest she is taking in Ger
tain other countries and the financ-
ing she Is doing for them the while
the English are striving to find
funds equivalent to the amount Of
interest France owes England and
does not pay.
In closing the British premier
says: 'In my judgment 1t is these
states of opinion which have vitiat-
ed our relations in the past. 1t is n
thoroughly unhealthy condition.
which gives me much concern and
which ! venture to believe disturbs
YOU. too
Good. straight talk. 1t ought to
meet the eyes of the French people
and enable them to see the situation
from the English angle and learn
how better to meet the conditions.
Furthermore the reply of Poincare
reveals no annoyance at this frank
Eess and while saying little that he
has not said before reiterates the
declaration that France is seeking
no German territory and is alb
solutsly peaceful in giving military
assistance to other countries and
expresses the wish that England
also would cooperate with those
countries toward the maintenance
of peace in Europe.

Cccoanut Oil Makes
A plendid Shampoo

II you want 10 keep your hair in
eoon condition. be careful what you
wash il with.
Many soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much free aIkali.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle and is very harmful. Mulsi-
fed cocoanut oil shampoo (Which is
pure and entirely greaseless.) is
much better than anything else you
can use for shampooing, as this can
not possibly jnjure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with wa
ter and rub it in. Two or three tea
spConfuls will make an abundance of
rich, creamy lafher. and cleanse the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The lath-
er rinses. out easily, and removes every
particle of dust. dirt, dandruff and
excess oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and It leaves it fine and
silky. bright, fluffy. wavy. and easy to
manage.
You can get Mulsiied cocoanut oil
shampoo ct any drug store II is in

but seems fairly representative of

It should be spurred to activity
by public sentiment. Considering the
fact that Daugherty has been in
vestigated within a year or so. sug-
gests that some OF the underbrush
was then disposed OF and that the
hearing should get to business with
out delay and stay on the job over
time. Such an investigation must
hamper the work of the Department
of Justice and should be gotten
through with the utmost dispatch
