PICKED team
BEAT THE SCRUBS"
High School Boys Clashed In The
First Practice Game of The
Season.

In fast scrub game at Ninth ave-
nue. and Oak street yesterday after
noon the picked team of the High
School squad got the best of the
scrub team by pushing the ball over
the goal one time. This was the
only score of the game, which was
played without regard to time and
was only lengthy scrimasage prac-
tice. Frank Lieberman of Tulane
University, former High School
football star and captain of the 1909
team, played with the scrab team
which included ten l. omi8ing fight
ers whose experience is somewhat
fist team.
All attention was centered on the
working of the first team machinery
which Coach Bassett is carefully
building UP with hopes of taking a
state High School championship this
season. The first team showed speed
and plenty of courage, but they are
still without the grace and assurance
OF good football players In fact
there is plenty Of room for improve
ment not only among the back field
players. but in the linemen as well
AS practice makes perfect-and
Coach Bassett intends giving his men
plenty of it-this lacking qualities
which detlact from the teams eff
ficiency will be worked out in time
for the first game. Fumbles among
the back field men were very notice
able.

A Harmless Way TO

\ Little Sage md Sulphur Makes GRAY
Hair Vanish-A Remedy For All
Hair Troubles.

! Who does not know the value of
sage and sulphur for keeping the lair
dark, soft, glossy and in good cpndi-
tlon? AS a matter of fact, sulphur
is natural element of hair, and a
deficiency of it in the hair is held
by many scalp specialists to be con-
nected with loss of color and vitality
OF the hair. Unquestionably, there is
, no better remedy for hair and scala
, troubles, especially premature gray
ness, than sage and sulphur il prop
erly prepared. The Wyeth Chemical
Company of New York put up an
ideal remedy of this kind, called
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem
edy, and authorize druggists to sell it
under guarantee that the money will
be refunded If it fails to do exactly
as represented.
If you have dandrEff, or + your
hair is thin or turning gray, get bot
tie of this remedy from your drug
gist today, and see what it will do for
you.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle, and is

gists. Special agent, Mann-Tank-

The geology and underground wa

of the various rivers and creeks of the
state. The report also contains a dis

LOSE THEIR Cash
Kansans Lose in Land SWindling
Operations of Martens.
John P. Berg, Former Wealthy
Farmer, Now Bankrupt.
HE JOINS CHURCH
SwindIer Sings in Choir to Get
Anaheim Money.
Topeka Man Bobs Up as limo
cent Note Purchaser.

Hutchinson, Kan, Oct 11.-As a di-
rect result Of the alleged swindling
| operations of Henry ]. Martens, whose
land schemes caused heavy loss to q
good many Mennonite farmers of neal
Hutchinson, John p. Berg, a Mennon-
| lite ranchman who moved from kan
sas to southern California, is now
bankrupt.
Mr.. Berg was one of number OF
farmers who were persuaded by Mar
tens, it is alleged, to buy tracts OF
| land, which later proved to belong to
others. Mr.. Berg invested all his
property in the Martens scheme, and
when the bubble burst he was left
/ bankrupt.
Martens was prosecuted for his al
legged shady manipulations. He had
an office in Hutchinson for a time
He was a member of the Mennonite
| brotherhood, and through that means
was able to get a foothold for his deals
among that usually cautious and wary
! class of citizens.
In an account of his manipulations
in California, the Los Angeles Tim es
says:
"A little more than three years ago
a man giving the name of Henry J.
Martens dropped into the Anaheim
neighborhood. He joined the Anah eim
church, sang bass in the choir, and
was a constant attendant upon divine
services. After he had sufficiently in
gratiated himself into the good graces
of the people he unfolded a Kern coun-
ty land scheme, it is alleged. So win
ming were his ways that he induced a
number of the ranchers in that section
to purchase tracts which he represent
ed to be worth from $50 to SIS an
acre.
HE dwelt at length upon the bar
gain he was Offering his friends and
at last a dozen of the farmers bought
on contract various pieces of real
estate. Berg and his wife executed
three notes for $500, $500 and 1920 re-
spectively, and gave them to Martens.
1t is said in several other instances
the ranchers not only gave notes as
part payment on contract but ad-
vanced money to Martens to bind the
sale. There is a suit now pending in
the federal court to prevent the col
lection of a note for $4,000 given by
an Anaheim rancher in the same
scheme.
After the real estate transactions
were closed the notes given by Berg
and his wife were transferred to the
Topeka bank, and by that institution
transferred to c. E. Gau1t, who ap-
pears in the case as an innocent pur-
chaser.
''Soon after the execution of the
notes, and before anything in the shape
of a provisional deed had passed from
to the various purchasers, the
land was levied upon and sold under a
blanket mortgage and the investors
had nothing left to show for their
money and evidence of Indebtedness"
