MONEY FLEECED FROM MANY BY FAKEDJIGHTS Headquarters of Promoters Are in Muncie Victims of "Frame-up" Testify. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., April 22. .Two men today informed federal authorities that they had been "fleeced" of $20,000 by alleged "fake" fight and wrestling promoters who had their headquarters at Muncie, Ind. Each said he lost $10,000. One of the men was a resident of northern Indiana and the other of Illinois. The former man was taken to the Marlon county Jail, where the alleged promoters are confined. He identified some of them as those who "faked" a fight at Logansport. H. H. Watson, postofflce inspector, was notified this afternoon that Arthur Betts had been arrested at Decatur, 111., on the charge of having used the mails to defraud. Betts is said to hare been a tout for the men who are charged with having operated the Muncie "fleecing" scheme. More Arrests Expected. One after another victims of the alleged "frame-up" are appearing in "Indianapolis to tell how they were done and to view the men in the Marlon

county jail. More arrests are expected. The man who is supposed to have been at the head of the alleged "fake" game has not been arrested. Federal authorities believe that disclosures already made will show that the alleged "fleecing fraternity" of Muncie has made the biggest "cleanup" of the kind in the list of such schemes in the United States. Victory Gardens lbtK and anol er. 1:44.1 r . wouldit do us arm harm I'll U w i THE SONQ OF THE HOE The whole family is happy because1 of that fresh, crisp home-grown food. Now, everybody get a garden book by sending a two-cent stamp to the National War Garden) Commission, at Washington. Garden cities are blossoming all over the Central West and great activity in home food production in that section of the country has been reported to the National War Oarden Commission of Washington. Tha campaign for Victory Gardens this year has gone over the top and when the count is made it is believed there will be found to be more Victory Gardens than there were war gardens-. The determination to "carry on" and follow up the first "victory with defeat of old General Hunger has taken hold of the American people, according to reports. Along with other railroads which are cooperating in the Victory Garden campaign the Rock Island lines are spreading the message of home food production along their lines; and at the request of L. M. Allen, passenger traffic manager of this road, posters were placed in stations along the line and a large consignment of garden booklets forwarded by the National War Garden Commission hare been distributed. Down in Oklahoma the Indians of the Five Civilized Tribes, who did fine war garden work last year, are following this up in their Victory Gardens; and at the request of Gebe E. Parker, superintendent, they have been furnished with garden books by toe Wr Garden Commission. Boys Could Tell Tall Ones In Days of Civil War, Too Ben Duke, a member of Sol Meredith Post, O. A. R. Monday was talking about the case of a returned "hero" who was courtmartlaled for telling lies about his prowess in France. "They used to have boasters in the old days, too," eald Duke. "I remember one Civil War veteran who got religion at a revival, Just after the war, and was confessing ' his sins. 'Oh, Lord,' he said, 'Thou knowest I have slain hundreds of men, and waded up to my kneeB in blood, but ' "At this point there was a commotion in the back of the church. It was the veteran's captain, who happened to be there and who had fainted. So I guess we could tell 'em tall in the old days, too." RUSSIANS IN CRIMEA PARIS, April 22. The port of Sebastopol In the Crimea has been occupied by Russian Soviet troops, according to a dispatch to the Journal des Debat3.

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 Just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless)' and is better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use. One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water, and rub it in. It 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. a few ounces will supply every member of the family for months.
