President "Wilson laid aside the cares of state today to see the Democrats and Re DUblicans of the House of Represent atives struggle through their annual baseball game, which went for six and one-half Innings and was staged for the benefit of the American Red Cross. For once there was no debate as to the winner. The official scorer says the minority representatives had 19 runs to 5 for the majority party play ers and nobody disputed him. Besides the President, Vice-President Marshall, Speaker Clark and many other high Government officials were gathered at American League park, and they appeared to find keen enjoy- ment in baseball as played by the se lected representatives of the people. The players, too, enjoyed themselves until the novelty of running the bases and chasing the ball was supplanted by weary muscles and shortening breath. Officially, the game was called on ac count of darkness, though play ended long before the sun went into eclipse. Madd's) Delivery Pnszllng-.

The Republicans went right along piling up runs and they settled th contest in the fifth round. With the bases full. Pitcher Mudd came to bat. Delaney went over from his position at third base to give McClintic some pointers on what to throw the Re publican pitcher. Mudd responded by bouncing a hot one off Delaney's shinns. clearing the bases. Miss Rankin, Mascot.

WALLA WALLA, Wash . June 8. Special.) "A grave situation Is brought to a head by the high-handed action of the authorities here," declared George P. Hampton, director of the National Farmers' headquarters at Washington, D. C. in expressing resentment at the action of the citizens in barring the grangers from tne high school. "The Administration is tired of having local organizations take it upon themselves to decide questions of loyally or disloyalty.-' Hampton asserted that he is a personal friend of the President. Most of the grangers left Walla Walla last night and the remainder went today. Indications are that a bit ter fight will be carried into all the subordinate granges of the state. Hampton, who took over the running of affairs after the trouble Thursday night when grangers were ejected from the High School, put Grange Master William Bouck into the background and did the talking. He will visit' most of the subordinate granges in the next few weeks.-. The 75 so-called loyal grangers, those who repudiated the Non-Partisan League, have agreed to stay in the organization and will carry their fight to the locals, in an effort to weed out the Non-Partisan sentiment. His death is supposed to have resulted from a mental and physical collapse, following the action of the grand jury, No inquest was held. Mr. Landees says that he makes his statement in justice to Dr. Harris. In part, it is as follows: "Even though the grand jury heard only the testimony that was offered on behalf of the prosecution and as foreman I was denied the privilege of calling other witnesses than those who were brought before us. enough came out to convince me that the charge was unwarranted. The vote by the grand jury on the ndictment is said to have stood five to two. TOTAL ECLIPSE AT ORLANDO Phenomena Begins at 5:44 o'Clock and Ends at 7:20. ORLANDO, Fla., June 8.

Use Cocoanut Oil for Washing Hair If you want to keep your hair in good condition, be careful what you wash it with. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle and is very harmful. Just plain mulsified cocoanu oil (which is pure and entirely grease less) is much better than the most ex pensive soap or anything- else you can use for shampooing, as this can't pos Bibly injure the hair. Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls 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 evenlv, and 1 leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage. Tou can get mulsified cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to las everyone in the family for months. Adv. COTTAGE niKKSB BY ANY OTHER NAME IS JLST AS GOOD. FREE COOK BOOKS to every reader of The Oregonian.
