American Boy Scouts, 800, 900 strong,
are to have an official arm-a special
model .22-calibre Remington UMC rifle
says dispatch from the New York
headquarters of the organization. For
long time the boys have been drilling
with broomsticks, stats and a variety
of guns. Now every scout is to be arm
ed alike with real "grown-up' model
firearm.
OF course, the scouts will not be al
lowed to use the guns except when in
charge of competent instructors. They
will be taught to know and to respect
firearms and will be shown how to avoid
the accidents that sometimes happen
even to adults who have just picked
up" gun knowledge.

To the Democrats of Louisiana.

At the recsnt meeting in Chicago OF
the Democratic National Committee II
was decided to appeal TO the Democrat
&c press of the country to open theli
columns to popular subscriptions to the
fund necessary to defray the Legitimate
expenses of the campaign of Gov. Wood.
row Wilson and his running mate, Gov.
Thomas r. Marshall.
By the action of the convention at
Baltimore and by the position since
taken by its nominee the party has vol
unfairly cut itself off from the financial
support of the money power and the
predatory interests. Gov. Wilson has
declared his intention to scrutinize the
subscriptions to the end Of rejecting
those which bear the faint of selfish
corporate interests.
The Democratic party stands reso-
lutely against the corrupt use of money
in the campaign. But vast sum will
be required to meet the legitimate
needs of the militant Democracy in the
pivotal States which will decide the
complexion of the next National Ad-
ministration.
To raise that sum by popular sub
scription in every State in the Union
will not be a difficult task. -Four years
ago, when prospects were finitely less
fattering, the Democratic masses of
Louisiana subscribed SIS, 900 to aid the
Democratic campaign. 1t was by far
the largest subscription of any Southern
State. 1t ranked with the subscrip-
tions of the three or four States in the
whole country which stood at the head
of the roll of honor. 1t gave Louisiana
one of the prominent seats at the coun-
sci table of the National Democracy.
Louisiana ought to do as well in 1912
as she did in 1908.
As the Democratic National Commit
teeman from Louisiana and as a mem
Der of the Executive Committee which
Gov. Wilson and Chairman VIM. F. Nc
Combs have selected to manage the Ma
tional Campaign, have opened through
the columns of the States and the
Shreveport Times, subscription lists for
this purpose.
l earnestly request every Democratic
newspaper in Louisiana to reproduce
this address and similarly to open its
columns for subscriptions, each of
which, if transmitted to me, / shall be
glad also to acknowledge in the States.
appeal to every Democrat in Louisi-
ana, whatever his station, for his CO.
operation in this movement. There
will be no limit on the amount OF indl-
vidual subscriptions. Whatever any
Democrat feels he is able to give, be it
large or small, will be gratefully ac-
cepted, duly acknowledged in the col
umns of the States and the Shreveport
Times and promptly transmitted to the
National Committee.

WEATHER CONDITIONS.

The storm that was yesterday over
northern New Mexico has moved to
western Iowa and has caused rains on
the eastern Rocky mountain slope and
in the Missouri and upper Mississippi
valleys and the southern portion OF the
lake region. The following heavy rains
are noted, in inches: Davenport, 1872;
Kansas City. lis; Des Moines, 11G;
Valentine, 100. An area Of high pres
sure and generally fair, cool weather
overlies the Rocky mountain region
and the Pacific coast, though a rise in
temperature IN the northern Rocky
mountain districts has resulted from
the northwestern low which is central
over northern Saskatchewan. The
eastern movement of the Iowa low and
the advance Of the western high will
be attended by rain and colder weather

BEAUTIFUL HAIR
At SMALL Cost
A Simple Remedy Beauties
the Hair. Cures Dandruff.
Stops Falling Hair.

What a pity it is to see so many
people with thin, wispy hair, faded or
streaked with gray, and realize that
most of these people might have soft,
glossy, abundant hair of beautiful color
and lustre if they would but use the
proper treatment There is no neces-
sity for gray hair under sixty-five years
of age, and there is no excuse for any
one, young or old, having thin, stragg-
ling hair, either full of dandruff or
heavy and rank smelling with ex-
cessive oil.
You can bring back the natural color
Of your hair in few days and forever
nd yourself of any dandruff and loose
hairs, and make your hair grow strong
and beautiful by using Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Hair Remedy. For gener-
atoms common garden Sage has been
used for restoring and preserving the
color OF the hair; and Sulphur is recog-
nized by Scalp Specialists as being
excellent for treatment Of hair and
scalp troubles.
If you are troubled with dandrufl
or itching scalp, or if your hair is
losing its color or coming out, get &
| fifty cent bottle Of Wyeth's Sage anC
Sulphur from your druggist, and notice
the Improvement in the appearance OF
your hair after few days treatment

contract much corn.
Out of 20 hog reports, AZ say to 20

Mothers-in.Iaw In Dickens, Time.

Nowadays it is regarded as utterly
incorrect to speak of stepmother as
"mother-in-law." But anybody who
does can plead plenty Of literary au-
thority. .'Mother-in-law" WIS good
English in this sense as well as the
other in 1916. and both Fielding and
Thackeray have it. "Father-in-law'' is
used by Shakespeare both for wifes
father and for a stepfather and In
this sense it can be quoted from Dick
ems and George Eliot But the general
agreement in modern times to stick to
''stepmother" Is wise avoidance OF
confusion.
