Although the fertilizer sales are
heavy thus far there has been very
little actual placing of fertilizers on

More Bills Coming.

Several important measures are
slated for introduction in the legisla-
ture during the coming week. Among
them will be the Johnston BILL Gre
ating a general drainage board for
the delta, defining how drainage pro-
jects shall be divided into units, and
reciting in detail plans for the recla-
nation of swamp and overfowed
lands in the wonderfully rich and fer
tile delta. This bill is essentially an
administration measure, the plan pro-
posed has been agreed upon between
Governor Brewer and its author, and
it is believed that it will be passed
with very little opposition.
The measure framed by the various
patriotic organizations of the state
looking to the preservation of the old
capitol, will be introduced in both
houses. An earnest effort will be
made to get an appropriation sufi-
cient for the thorough repair of the
ancient structure, cost of which is es-
timated at $4,000 In view of the
likelihood of a Court of Appeals be-

Governor Brewer left last night for
Water Valley where he spent today
investigating the Illinois Central
strike situation at that place. He will
return to the capital early Tuesday
morning, and later in the week will
pay a similar visit to McComb City.
There has been very little serious
trouble at Water Valley since the
inception of the strike, and it seems
that the strikers are a much more
peaceable set at that point than at
McComb City, where there has been
more or less disorder and lawlessness
for the past three months. In recogni-
ton of this fact, only small military
force has been maintained at Water
Valley, and during his visit Governor
Brewer will determine whether the
continued presence of the troops is
necessary. The local authorities
county and municipal, will be asked
whether, in their judgment, they feel
able to cope with the situation with
out the use of troops.
Water Valley is the old home o.
Gov. Brewer, and he represented that
county in the upper branch of the
legislature at the beginning of his pc
litical career He is intimately &C
quainted with majority of the citi
zens there, including the strikers, ant

fluence is so strong that an appeal TO
preservation of law and order with
out the presence of troops will prov

METALS ONCE RARE NOW
IN COMMON USE.

A few years ago such metals as
tungsten, vanadium, silicon, tantalum
and many other rare and costly met
ais were unknown outside of scien-
tific circles, but now we are all fami-
liar with tungsten lamps, which have
revolutionized the lighting world, of
vanadium steel which had made pos
sible the automobile, and we are quite
we'll acquainted with other new met
ais, once so rare and unknown.
Only a few years ago many of these
new metals were deemed worthlss
Their value in the commercial world
remained undiscovered and the ores
were not mined. In Colorado the
miners used to throw away what they
called blackjack" but now they are
searching the dump heaps to collect
this valuable ore because they recog-
nize it as wolframite~ tungsten ore.
Tungsten leaped into prominence a
few years ago when 1t was first used
for filaments in incandescent electric
lamps. 1t was found that the new
metal could be used in place of car
bon for the lamp filaments, giving
three times the light of the old lamps
for the same amount of current, and
this new light was almost pure white
instead of an orange-red color. Tung
stem has also many other valuable
uses. In the form of sodium tung
stem fire-proofing of value is pro
duced. Tungsten brought joy to the
heart of the housewife in that it fixes
dyes so that wash goods will wash
Silk merchants rejoiced for othel
tungsten salts added weight to silk
Tungsten steel is extremely tough
Proiectiles made from il have pene
trated through Ia inches of the bes

needles are the best on the market.
Tungsten is now mined in Arizona
California, Nevada, Montana, Idaho
and Colorado, which produce 60 pc
cent of the output. The tungsten bel
in Colorado is three miles long an,
eight miles wide. The market TO

had chosen to represent that state in

been ANONYMOUSLY thrown out of that
body. and delegation of anti-La Fol-

Spooner said to the writer, I'VE have

Wisconsin Senator was seeking the
destruction of the party. His work in

that La Toilette was building up a

There is nothing new about the idea

kept their locks soft, dark and glossy
by using sage tea" Whenever
their hair fell out or took on a dull,

made brew of sage leaves and ap
piled it to- their hair, with wonderful
beneficial effect.
Nowadays we don't have to resort
to old-time, tiresome methods of gath

This is done by skillful chemists bet,
ter than we could do it ourselves, and
all we have to do is to call for the
ready-made product, Wyeth's Sage

sage in the proper strength, with the
addition of sulphur, another old-time
scalp remedy.
