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 grandmothers
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 have gray hairs be-
fore they are fifty, but they are begin
ming to appreciate the wisdom of our
grandmothers in using sage tea" for
their hair, and are fast following suit
The present generation has the advan,
tage of the past in that it can get a
ready to use preparation called Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur. As a scalp tonic and
color restorer, this preparation is vastly
superior to the ordinary sage tea made
by our grandmOthers, and it can be
bought for so cents and 81 a bottle at
almost any first-class drug store, or will
be sent direct by the Wyeth Chemical
Company, "A CortIandt St., New York

AS against this the defendants here
claim that NJ. L. Peck, the widow and
administrative, was properly served
with the summons in the foreclosure
suit and hence she is bound by that
decree and that in any event the
plaintiff here could not recover for
any amount which he paid to her.
However, if the amount paid was ap-
portionable at all among the Pecks
there is nothing in the pleadings here
by which the court could make such
an apportionment The defendants
here do not in their answer dispute
the amount of the payment; they
only contest the liability or compul-
sion of the plaintiff to pay at all. If
they intended to attack the part Of
the payment going to Mrs. Peck, the
widow, they should have framed their
pleadings accordingly, but they have
not done so.
OF course by settling the suit with
the Pecks without notifying the de-
PENDANTS here and calling upon them
to defend in that suit the plaintiff as
sumed the burden in this case Of
proving paramount title in the Pecks,
to which he yielded, but the superior
estate of at least Lloyd and Elmer
Peck is established beyond question,
because the court never acquired
jurisdiction over them to divest them
of their property.
The Judgment is affirmed.

Threatened With Rabies

Mr.. and Mrs. j. G. Harry re-
ceived word from their daughter
Mrs. +. Van Netten and husband
at FL Paso that they had been
threatened with rabies.
Sunday morning, March II,
Mr.. and Mrs. Van Netten were
awakened by their pet bull dog
which was licking their hands in
most atfectionate manner.
They noticed that the dog acted
queer and saliva was running
from his mouth, and his lower
jaw was partially set.
A veterinary surgeon was sum-
moned and the dog was pronounc-
ed in the last stages of rabies,
and ordered killed. MIR. and Mrs.
Van Netten were unfortunate
enough to have some sores on
their hands at the time, and
these, were the dog suffering
from rabies, would inocculate
the poison. They were advised
to take the pasteur treatment at
once, which they are doing.
Mrs. Harry went to Ell Paso
Saturday evening, and letter
from her to her husband the fore
part of the week, stated that the
son and daughter were still free
from the disease, and may escape
it altogether.

POLL TAX WILL Be
DELINQUENT APRIL |
Some School Districts Must Make
Levy Of at Least is Mills
SCHOOL ELECTION
TO BE HELD APRIL 8

To the voters of Otero County:
The county superintendent Of
schools is responsible for the col.
lection or poll tax in that it is
his duty to see that schoo! direc-
tors perform their work in &C.
cordance with the school law.
In obedience to legal instructions
clerks of the school boards have
heen urged to vigorously push
tax collections until April 1st,
and until the election of direc-
tors. AT that time, all who have
not paid poll tax, will be given
public notice that at the end of
thirty days they will be subject
to suit in the name of the district,
and that no property, not except
ing personal property will be ex-
empt from attachment. Are you
as citizens going to force your
school officials to bring suit
against you for the sum of one
dollar when the tax goes directly
into your school fund for the
benefit of your children?
Many schools districts have
not enough funds to run an eight
months term. Such districts
need TO increase their school levy
at least to fifteen mills, if neces-
'ary, to have eight months every
year. Notices for special levy
election were sent to clerks of
the school board who should have
pasted them in time for the cleo
tion to be held April 3. If they
were not pasted it is not yet too
late and most sincerely urge you
to do it, and give your children
better opportunities this coming
year than they have ever had.
Sincerely yours,
LACY SIMMS,
County Supt. of Schools.

A TRIP 70 THE WHITE
SANDS Of ALAMOGORDO
A Jolly Bunch Made Footprints in
the Sands of-New Mex.
WELL FILLED BASKETS
FURNISH FINE SPREAD

bountlfulIy flled hampers,
canteens gurgling with cool.
sparkling water. q coach and
four" glouious moonlight
night, a congenial crowd of
frolicsome fun-loving individ-
uals, a twenty mile ride over
New Mexico's characteristically
good roads, and finally the sight
of one of the New Worlds seven
wonders" made a trip to the
White Sands, the great gypsum
beds of New Mexico, a ne'er.to-
be-forgotten incident in the life
of Young America.
Young America, upon behold
ing the sands" allows his
imagination to play a little:
Now he is one of caravan of
travellers on Sahara's barren
waste; now he's standing upon
the crest of bounding wave Of
the mighty deep, viewing about
him the foam crested manifesto
tion Of the great strength of wind
and sea; now he's an explorer
in search of glory and those
things which mans imagination
has pictured in the yet unknown
while about him are heaps of
natures blanket, now folded
neatly, now spread in confusion,
yet always pleasing to the eye;
now he's a bird-man soaring
among the clouds.
The Sands" unlike our fertile
plains, are unmarried by hands
(or foot) of man. Or rather
were" than are" for upon the
occasion of a recent sojourn there
Waite Tinklepaugh marred the
serenity and beauty of Natures
work, he leaving the ash from his
pipe and T. D. Anderson, for
reasons unknown, took off his
shoe, while |. Allen Austin
departing, left behind him
footprints in the sands of-New
Mexico. T. B. White, having
wandered off to himself, came
by chance, upon the aforesaid
footprints and when later found
by Pauline Bemis was laboring
under the delusion that he was
tracking white elephant. The
delusion was at once dispelled
and the white elephant proved
to be the remainder of the crowd
who would persist IN following
the Babes in the Sand.
At target practice Mary Simns
and Donna Givan proved conclu-
sively that Waite Tinklepaugh
and I. ID. Anderson were easy
marks. About this time |. A.
Austin took to the Woods and
later he and Iona were found
around the lunch baskets and
partaking of the fluid that does
not usually intoxicate.
May Pierce and Leo White
proved to be the ''softest" snaps
thus far disclosed by the much
abused kodak. Waite Tinkle-
paugh took the pup" by reason
of his unlimited capacity for
fruit, several times rushing in
to procure the same where
angels fear to tread" Query:
How much fruit could Waite
eat if he were right fat?" 7. ID.
A. proved to have developed the
greatest capacity for sand, prov
ing beyond doubt B. Franklin's
assertion that "a full sack can't
bend"
A crowd of bedraggled indi-
viduals resolved at last to rise
and report" to their various
homes, the result of which wise
action was attested to By the
presence Of the tired and weary
next morning. x

town?' inquired Aufgang.

TOWN. inquired Aufgang.
"Nothin'." said the black
smith, except lot of crazy
people around here have taken
the notion that We don't need any
town and are sending all their
money away to millionaires who
run the catalog houses. Course
they've got to come to me and
I'm here yet just because the
catalog fellows haven't devised
way and means for shoeing
horses by mail. But when they
do I'll have to Hit too"
Henry was astounded.
:Why, I'd no idea" he COM
menced.
Course you hadn't" rejoined
the blacksmith. Course you
hadn't, you hadn't an idea.
You don t think. Well you had
better do so now. Where are
you going to sell your butter and
eggs? Can you sell 'em to the
mail order houses? You can get
rid of your wheat at the elevator,
I
but you won't have any fun any
more in this town visiting with
your neighbors cause there isn't
any town and the people you us
ed to know have all gone away
to some place where they can
make a living"
Pretty soon the town will be
all gone. Then your good roads
will be gone, too. And you can't
bring your mail order jewelry
and castings to town to be re-
paired. If your mail order shoes
don't fit you'll just naturally
have to squeeze your feet and
bear it. If your mail order
clothes which you buy sight un-
seen aren't what you want.
what are you going to do about
it?"
The blacksmith paused. 1t
was a long speech for him and it
had got to Aufgang.
Business is business" finally
said Henry.
"Yes and foolishness is foolish
ness" answered his friend.
You may think it's business to
kill off your town, but l don't.
Think it over, Henry, think it
over"
Henry did think it over as
he drove slowly homeward with
the dressed poultry and eggs
which he intended to sell to his
friend. the storekeeper.
AS he neared the house his lips
moved. Business is business"
he said to himself, 'and self.
preservation first law. We've
got to preseve our town and our
neighborhood and our good roads. |
That's business"
The next day he called a meet
ing Of his brother farmers for
miles around and they all came.
After the meeting Henry in
vited them all TO stay to supper
and after supper there was big
bonfire out in Aufgang's yard
near the we'll.
In that bonfire were consumed
