a resolution adopted by the board of vor of lt thoh nf rnm,-, c-rtnj

county . commissioners, the Improvement to be constructed under state financial aid. Tbe commissioners' resolution provides for a bond issue of (60,000, to bear interest at the rate of six per cent It is expected the contract for the improvement will be let at the April meeting and letting

of the state highway department. The proposed improvement will begin a short distance of what is known as the old Valley House railway crossing and will extend south to the north corporate limits of the village of Camden. The driveway will be 17 feet wide, including a six-inch concrete curb on either side. The commissioners proposed bricking the highway last spring, at which time landowners ntered a vigorous protest. It Is said some opposition stni exists. Start School Orchard. Dixon township centralized schools will establish an orchard, which will provide practical . knowledge of orcharding for the pupils and also furnish fruit for the girls' canning clubs and cooking classes. The agricultural class will take car of the orchard. E. A. Holcomb, principal of the schools, and the junior class; are responsible for the innovation. Varieties of apples, peaches, pears, plums and cherries will be planted. The trees will be donated by the Ernst Nurseries

company, local concern It is expect

ed the planting will be started at an early date. Monroe township centralized schools bear the distinction of establishing the first fruit orchard as a feature of

school work in Preble county. The orchard was planted a few years ago and is one of the show spots in the

northern section of the county. It has proven to be of; vast benefit to " the

schools in many ways, according to

school authorities. Auto Factory Adds

Completed last fall, the Washington

Motor Car company will in all probability build a 100-foot extension to its factory this summer, according to

'company officials.

Officials state that orders have been

placed for parts and equipment for a

half hundred cars and production on a large scJe is expected to begin this year. The company has turned out

one complete car and the second car is nearinr completion. The number of

orders on file for the factory's product is very gratifying, officials say.

objectors can be found. It is the general opinion among all classes of people that the city's business now receives more prompt and careful attention, -that responsibility for official acts is now definitely placed, and that for every dollar of taxes paid the city a full share of service or material is given the taxpayers.

Prior to the adoption of ' the city

manager form of government, Kalamazoo was governed by a mayor and common council, together with many

semi-administrative boards and commissions, making it difficult to trace authority and responsibility. With the growth of the city and the corresponding increase in number and in

tricacy of city affairs, the system had

grown so complicated and cumbersome that the city business was wrapped in red tape and delay to

such an extent that relief of some

form was imperative.

Adopted Three Years Ago. In 1917, following a thorough investigation and consideration of the benefits that would accrue to Kalamazoo by the introduction of the new forui of government, a new charter was prepared and presented to the electorate. Early in the spring of 1918, the citi zens, by a vote of more than three to

one, adopted the new charter, and it

became effective April 1, 1918. The new charter provides for a manager, who i3 the administrative head of the government, to be ap

pointed by an elective commisson of seven members, one of whom is the mayor. The commission is the legislative and policy determining body. The size of the task of governing Kalamazoo may be appreciated when it is known that it is a city of 43,858 persons (census of 19201 and has an assessed valuation of $60,587,442. It has been found that the new charter gives the city a simplified governmental machinery, wherein authority and responsibility are definitely placed and through which the city's business is transacted with the promptness and careful attention characteristic of private corporations. A few outstanding facts attest the financial success of the project. Kalamazoo's bonded indebtedness, $881,675, is the lowest of any city in the state of Michigan, and the tax rate, 90 cents per $100, is the second lowest. In two years a total of $49,000 has been returned to the sinking funds

and the remaining deficit of $20,000 ( will be cleared up this year. Municl-i pal improvements costing upwards of j $55,000 have been made without issu: ! ing bonds. I Spirit of Harmony.

Cocoanut Oil Makes A Splendid Shampoo

If. you want to keep your hair in good condition, be careful what you wasi it with. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo (which is pure and entireiy greaseless), is much better than anything else you can use for shampooing, as this cant possibly injure the hair. Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it it. One or two teaspoonful of Mulsified will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo at most any drug store. It Is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family for months. Be sure your druggist gives you Mulsified. advertisement.
