TOWNER OPPOSES
: SEMDINGMEH SOUTH
Congressman From Eighth Dis
trict Can See No Good in
Training Hawkejes in
Warm Climate.
(From a Staff CorreepondtnO
De Moines, la., July 16. (Special.)
Congressman Horace M. Towner
of the Eighth congressional district,
is raising the question why the "Na
tional Guard should be trained in the
south, rather than in the north. Rep
resentative Towner has announced
tltat he would put up a strong pro
test against this plan with the War
department. "What good reason can
be giren for fending Iowa guardsmen
into camps in ;he aouth?" asks Judge
Toner. "Jt U well understood that
the National Guard is to be sent
aboard as toon as practicable. Then
why send them to a southern climate
instead of training them in the north
and getting them hardened to the
ort oi climate they will have to en
dure in France? I can see no good
veason for sending Iowa men south
and I shall protest as strongly as I
know how."

LODGE SAYS DRAFT
CENSUS IS PADDED
Senator Declares Selection of
National Army So Ordered
That the South Is
Favored.
(Br Associated Piwm.)
Washington, July 16. A resolution
by Senator Brandegee calling for in
formation regarding the census bu
reau's population estimates for the
army draft was adopted today by the
senate without objection after Sena
tor Lodge had Ueclared the popula
tion figures for the north were "pad
ded" and other senators had com
plained, of alleged injustice of the
estimates.
Senator Brandegee presented state
ments that estimates had been in
creased for the first figures for north
ern and eastern states and lowered
in those of southern states.
"From the astonishing population
figures," said Senator Lodge, "it is
apparent that northern states and cit
ies census estimates have been pad
ded in order to make their army draft
heavier, while those of the southern
states have been reduced. It seems
when the northern and eastern states
are being most heavily taxed they
must also give more of their men for
soldiers than the southern states." ,
Senator Brandegee and Lodge also
complained against proposed exemp
tion of aliens from the draft. The
latter urged additional legislation by
congress to provide for drafting for
eigners. Butte Metal Trades

(Br Associated Pre.)
Washington, July 16. Major Gen
eral Goethals has postponed his plan
for commandeering today of private

tracting immediately for building two
government ship-building plants.1 He
acted at the request of Chairman

wants to lay the matter before the
directors of the emergency fleet cor

the fleet corporation, it, is understood,
will insist that the general manager,
General Goethals, build more wooden
ships than he has provided for. It is

Alkali Makes Soap
Bad For Washing Hair
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The test thing to use is Just plain
mulsif ied cocoanut oil, for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap, and beats the most ex
pensive soaps or anything else all
to pieces. You can get this at any
drug? store, and a few ounces will
last the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with wa:
ter and rub it in, about a teaspoon
ful is all that is required. It makes
an abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking,
bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to
handle. Besides, it loosens and takes
out every particle of dust, dirt and
dandruffs Advertisement.

MANY LANDS HAVE
LIBER1TS BANNER
Of Seventy-Eight Separate
Governments on Globe,
Twenty-Seven Headed
by Presidents.
By A. R. OROH.
Fellow citizens of the land of the
free and the home of the brave, let us
give a glance at the governments of.
the world and see how far democracy
already prevails among humanity.
There are seventy-eight separate
governments upon this old globe.
Twenty-seven oi these governments
are headed by presidents, elected by
tne people.
The other rulers of governments
are as follows: Seventeen kings and
one queen, six grand dukes and five
ordinary, garden-variety dukes; five
sultans, four emperors (including our
dear frierd, Wilhelm), two princes,
two ameers, one czar (since Nicholas
lost his job, one bey, one empress,
one shah, one maharajah, one grand
duchess, one kahti and one soveieign.
Subtracting the twenty-seven pres
idents we have fifty-one not-elected-
by-the-people rulers lef t,in the world.
And of these fifty-one seventeen are
in the' German empire I Wilhelm
counts twice, for he is emperor of
Germany and king of Prussia. There
are three other kings in the German
empire, six grand dukes, five ordi
nary very-day dukes and a prince.
Germany's allies, Austria-Hungary,
Turkey and Bulgaria, supply one em
peror, one sultan and one czar, re
spectively, to the rostjr of autocracy.
America Leads.
Twenty-one of the twenty-seven
presidents are on the American con
tinent. In the Old World they have
a president in France, Switzerland,
China (last week at any rate), Li
beria, Albania and Portugal.
Are there any presidents in the
German empire? Not so you can
notice it. How about Austria-Hungary?
Nary a president Well, then,
Turkey? No, for great is Allah.
Outside of Germany and its allies,
the autocratic rulers are found chiefly
in countries that still grope in heath
en darkness. There is the Empress
Uizero-Zeodita of Abyssinia and the
Ameer Hibulla Khan of Afghanis
tan, and the Ameer Seid Mir Alim of
Bokhara, and the Khan Asfendiar of
Khiva, nd the Sultan Seyyid Taimur
bin Turke of Oman, and the Bey Mo
hamed 1.1 Nasir of Tunis, and the
Sultan Khalifa bin Harub of Zanzi
bar. I'll bet you never even heard of
half ef those countries.
What's that you say? You say
with a bottle or two of ice cold Pablo.
Pablo, the pure non-alcoholic thirst
quencher, is the delightful hot weather bever
age because it cools and satisfies immediately.
Its good old "hoppy" flavor delights and refreshes.
Pablov brings invigorating comfort any time.
The Happ-
is the season's most popular beverage. The
goodness of sparkling Pablo is more important
because Pablo is healthful Drink as much Pablo
as you desire. You can't find a more enjoyable
drink. Pablo chases away hot weather fatigue."
Its snappy hop flavor adds zest and jov to any
occasion. Keep Pablo on ice in the home
for your own use and for unexpected company
Pablo gives delight and joy. By the Case from
your grocer or ice cold at any good drink stand.

England has a king and the British
empire an emperor. Oh certainly, a
king and emperor in name. But in
name only. George is a nice chap,
really a very nice man to meet, and
they do say his potato patch, is doing
fine. But as far as having any real
power is concerned, why everybody,
including the king himself, knows he
hasn't any. But he's a nice man, a
very nice man. I saw him once, rid
ing to the opening of Parliament,
don't you know, and he smiled quite
democratically in my general direc
tion. Yes, really.
And, oh, yes, we mustn't forget in
our roster of autocrats to mention the
illustrious and never-to-be-remem-bered-or-pronounced
name of the
Maharajah Dhiraja Tribhubana
