in a city with the rapidly changing con- ditions that mark the growth of Bir- mingham. Competition may come in at any time, which would naturally reduce the prices of the present company The city should carefully consider every phase of the proposition before signing, for this is a very serious question to the citizens of Birmingham"
 q am inclined to favor the contract between the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company and the city of Bir- mingham, under certain conditions" said Capt. F. J. McCrossin. "In view of the proposed concessions, I think the 10 year contract fairly reasonable. I would say this, however, if the contract is granted it should be on the further condition that we get a more prompt, efficient and cleaner car service. The matter is one that calls for careful investigation on the part of our city commissioners and every detail should be duly considered before the deal is finally consummated. With the present light before me, I favor the contract with the above additional conditions.
 'I favor the proposed contract on the grounds that it is a step in the right direction" said Dr. J E. Robbins of the Cunningham hospital staff. "Of course, l have always considered the people of Ensley entitled to cent fare and that should have been granted long ago. How ever, realizing that the proposed contract aap xpit other rpfprmg and reduction in price of the commodity sup piled by the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company, which means big reduction in the revenues of the com pany, I am of the opinion that the pro- posed contract Is fair and reasonable at this time. I think the concessions made the company will help matters consid- erably and have a tendency to improve exSiting conditions"
 R. DuPont Thompson, Attorney: "I am unalterably opposed to the prop osition of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company to the commission CTS on the 10 year contract basis. I do not believe that the commissioners should buy concessions with a 10 year contract, which should be made willingly by the company that has been nourished by the goodness of this city Into powerful, resourceful, selfish corporation. The com missioners, I am sure, will repudiate any such transaction as proposed by that cor poration."
 Roy c. Armstrong: q believe the con- cessions of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company for 10 year contract are sufficient to cause the com mission to look with favor upon it. The concessions offered, it must be admitted, are rather costly to the company. The people who secure the reductions in that proposition I believe would favor It."

 "On the whole We believe the prop osition to be a good safe investment We believe from a thorough inyesti- gation that the Everglade Land Sales company is absolutely reliable and that every buyer can count with cer- tainty on the company carrying out every guarantee and promise in it's literature, maps and contract. The comDany's standing i3 unquestionable and the buyers on the Davie expert mental farm with whom we talked state that the company had met every requirement. in putting in the canals, laterals and improvements on that tract, which is completed and has been turned over 10 the buyers, en- iirely free from water and with the land ready for planting of crops. The improvements on the Royal Glade tract as planned, will be as good or better than on the experimental farm. where owners can get s125 an acre for their land today.

 While we did not go into the in, vestigation of the company's land farther west as closely as the Royal Glade tract Gin which all the Canapea buyers are locatedl we will say that it all looks equally good, only further from the coast, but the soil Is deeper the further out one goes.

SAGE TEA WILL
 DARKEN THE HAIR
Restore Faded and Gray Hair to Natural CoI0r-Dan-
 druf Quickly Removed

There is nothing new about the idea of using sage for restoring the color of the hair. Our great-grand- mothers kept their locks soft, dark, and glossy by using sage tea" Whenever their hair fell out or took on a dull, faded or streaked appear ance, they made a brew of sage leaves and applied it to their hair, with wonderfully beneficial effects.
 Nowadays we don't have to resort 10 old time, tiresone methods Of gathering the herbs and making the tea. This is done by skilled chemists better than we could do 1t our selves, and all we have to do is to call for the ready-made product, Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem edy, containing sage in the proper strength, with the addition of sul- phur, another old-time scalp remedy.
 The manufacturers of this remedy authorize druggists to sell it under guarantee that the money will be refunded if it fails to do exactly as represented.
 Don't neglect your hair. Get bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur today, and notice the difference aft CT a few days use.
 This preparation is offered to the public at fifty cents bottle, and Is recommended and sold by all drug gists. 539.

As a means of reaching those buy CTS of Eyerglade land whom they have not had a chance to see personally. Messrs. Willis Wilkey and Frank Hill- man have furnished The Sonora News with the following signed state ment regarding their trip to the Everglades. where they went as rep resentaiives of clubs Of Cananea buyers:
 Not being able to see quite a num- Der Of the members of our clubs We take this means of giving an account of our trip 10 the Everglades and report on the company's proposition
 We arrived in Miami Thursday evening and the following day were taken out on the cOmpany's boat up the Miami canal. There were eigh- teen investigators in our party, all Investigators and club representa- tives like ourselves. This trip up the Miami canal was one of the many evi. dences Of the entire practicabillty of the drainage of the Everglades. The work is in competent hands, Engineer Wright. formerly of the reclamation service of the United States govern ment, being the supervising engineer Some miles up this canal We had to stop on account of q big dam having been put in to raise the water so as to float the dredge working above. Be sides this we saw the locks that have been put in on the North and South Lauderdale canals. and along some of the canals and laterals We saw the water running fast enough to turn a mill wheel The work already done and results accomplished are all that anyone needs to see to know that it will be a perfect success. The loca- tions of all the Cananea buyers are as good as any on the entire Royal Glade tract, in fact their location Is the near est to Miami. and being about the same distance 10 Lauderdale, the 10. cations are. if anything. the best on the entire tract. The land is prac- tically uniform, perfectly level. with scattered hammocks here and there. No one need have any fear about a hammock being on his location, as they are quite desirable Being two or three feet higher than the sur rounding ground and covered with trees, which afford an already pre- pared shade, easily cleared if de- sired, and make an admirable place on which TO build house.

SUNK BY OUTSIDE FORCE
Naval Board Completes Examination
and Makes Report of
Findings.

The United States battleship
Maine,@wirichs sank beneath the wa
ters of Havana harbor in February,
1898, as result of an explosion,
was blown up from the outside. This
was announced by the naval board
which has been examining the wreck.
The finding confirms the report of
the original Investigators who made
a superficial examination of the
wreck shortly after the disaster.
The statement given out by the
navy department is brief. Secretary
Meyer does not believe it necessary
to issue any extended explanation of
the boards conclusion beyond the
fiat statement that an exterior explo-
sion was responsible for the loss of
the warship and the loss of many
men.
Secretary Meyer announced that
there might be a further statement
on the report of the board after il
Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1911-12-13
BIG BUTTER PRODUCT.
Iowa's Record for the Past Year
Best in Her History.

More butter was produced in Iowa
during the year ending Nov. /, 1911,
than ever before in the history OF
'fIrfle state, according to figures in the
twenty-fifth annual report of the
state dairy commissioner, filed with
Governor B. F. Carroll by w. B.
Barney, state dairy and food COM
missioner.
The report registers an increase
in the total production of the state
of 2,7S3,6S4 pounds, which dairy
men believe is due to the compaign
for better dairy products which has
been waged by the state in recent
years.
Fayette county led all other Iowa
counties in total butter production
during the year with 1921, SIS
pounds to its credit.
The average price of butter, the
report shows, was 26.13 cents, which
is 1-2 cents less per pound Ian
last years average. Mr.. Barney ex-
plains this slump in price as being
due to the large quantity of butter
of poor quality held in storage which
was thrown upon the market last
year.
Commissioner Barney reports that
he believes the dairy trains which
were run through Iowa on several
different roads last year accomplish
ed a great work.
Because the department will make
another report before the state legis
lature convenes, but few changes II
the statutes were recommended. The
report urges that the milk license
law which at present is applicable tG
cities of a population of 10000 ant
over, be made to apply to all cities
and towns. This change, Mr.. Bar
ney points out, would result in
considerable increase in revenue TO
the state. A total of 1910 milk Ii
censes were issued up to July 4
1911.
Mr.. Barney also believes that tn
! state should require operators OF tn
Babcock test to take out license t
cost $3.50 per year. There are 2,4O
operators of the Babcock test il
Iowa at present.
