NO MORE GRAY HAIR


1t is easier to preserve the color of
the hair than to restore it, although it
IS possible to do both. Our grand
mothers understood the secret They
made and used sage tea," and their
dark, glossy hair long after middle life
was due to this fact. Our mothers
nave gray hairs before they are fifty,
but they are beginning to appreciate
the wisdom of our grandmothers in
using sage tea" for their hair, and are
fast following suit. The present gem

BANK GUARANTEE
Law IS UPHELD
Injunction Plea OF National
Financial Institutions Is
Denied

ST. PAUL, Mimi, May 21.-The rul-
ing of Judge Hook of the United States
court of appeals, in which the order of
the federal circuit court restraining
the officers of the state of Kansas from
carrying into effect the Kansas bank
deposltors' guarantee law was vacated,
has created much interest in banking
circles, particularly in the southwest.
The injunction to prevent the law
from becoming effective was obtained
by the Abilene, Kan, national bank.
acting for all of the national banks of
Kansas. These organizations claimed
7 that as the law did not allow these in
stftutions equal rights with the state
banks, it was legislation which dis
criminated against them, as depositors
would naturally prefer banks where
deposits were guaranteed and also that
they were not given equal protection.
Judge Hooks ruling was that there
was no merit in either contention.

PICKETT ASHAMED
OF BILL HE FATHERED

Local oilmen have been greatly en-
couraged by reports from Washington
to the effect that Congressman Pickett,
who introduced the Objectionable bill
that bears his name. has been converted
to the view of the Californians
Captain John Barneson is in receipt
of a telegram from members of the
California delegation in the national
capital stating that they have been
given assurances by Pickett that he
would not have introduced the measure
had he realized the injury it's passage
would inf1ict upon oil operators
The bill has passed the house and is
now before the senate committee. The
attitude of Congressman Pickett, it is
believed, will induce the senate to
kill it.

CROPS ARE IN
fine SHAPE
TWO GOOD RAINS MAKE EVERY.
THING LOOK BRIGHT AND HAPPY.
This will be a Great Year for Texas
Corn After the Good Rains Of this
Week. Wheat Good Quality.

Good rains have certainly bles-
sed Randall County the past
week. The soaker of Saturday
being followed by a good rain
Sunday night, has made crops
look fine. Corn is going to be
excellent this year. Alfalfa has
been good, and while the wheat
crop was some what short as in
nearly every state, the quality
is excellent.
a review of the crop condi-
tions of Texas for this year is
summed up by a correspondent
of the Manufacturers Record
as follows
This year every part of Texas
seems to be in an ideal condition.
The northeast has never looked
finer, and throughout the length
and breadth of the vast empire
the outlook for every kind of
crop has never been more excel
lent, Rains have been abundant
everywhere, and there is no spot
droughth-stricken. There have
been no disastrous floods and
no untoward conditions at any
place outside of some little tenn
porary damage done by the late
spring frostS. Wherever neces-
sary, replanting of corn and cot
ton was done, although most of
the damage caused by the spring
frosts was nothing like as great
as feared at the time of it's Oc-
currence.
