THE RETALIATION GAME

California is the head of the
champion list when it comes to
boosting. There isn't a thing
from its jumping fleas to it's raisins
that don't get a'boost. The funn y
part Of the thing is that the
boosters on The other side expect
the rest of the world to boost with
them. While Nevada is but a
couple Of hundred miles away the
people on the other side put in as
many knocks as the Nevadan
boosts.
Take the potato business fer
instance. Wnen the season is new
and the prodr ce man in California
has plenty he finds worms and
other troubles in the Nevada
tuber. When he is cleaned out
then he comes over to Nevada and
begs carload so that he can fill
his order.
1t is with keen pleasure that we
watch the sunburst Nevada farmer
soak the California about fifty
dollars per ton for his daily spuds.
At the rate the, spuds are selling
they equal the price of the famed
oranges of the Califoria side. We
eat his orange, his raisins, his
adulterated wines and never raise
kick. but when he treads on the
spud crop something happen s.
While the high price of potatoes
hits the Nevadan in the stomach
at the same time it brinds bacl
some of the golden money that
we paid for imitation goods. The
retaliation game is a dandy

them below the belt with. -Ap

How brief is the summer on the

keith Pritchard in TIE Wide World
Magazine. Snow does not melt
till July; then with rush nidsum-
mer comes. Grasses and leaves grow
almost visibly, the wild cotton soon
filings out its little white pennons,
millions of berries ripen on the
ground, the loon cries, the ptaI-
migan calls, and you may even see
a butterfly balancing in the warm
wind. But then also wakens the
countless army of huuchbacks, lean
and gray mosquitoes, piping blithe-
ly for blood. So summer reigns.
Then suddenly one day at the end
of August, after the sun has sunk

GRAY HAIRS VANISH.
If You Use a Harmless Remedy Made

A feeling of sadness accompanies the discovery of the first gray hairs which unfortunately are looked upon as her aids of advancing age. Gray hair how ever handsome it may be, makes a person look old. We all know the ad- vantages of being young. Aside from the good impression a youthful appear ance makes on others, simply knowing that you are Hooking fit''gives one courage to undertake and accomplish things. So why suffer the handicap of looking old on account of gray hairs, when a simple remedy will give your hair youthful and color and beauty in a few minutes time?
 Most people know that common gar den sage acts as a color Testorer and scalp tonic as well. Our grandmothers used a Sage Tea" for keeping their hair dark soft and luxuriant. In Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Hair Reme- dy we have an ideal preparation of Sage, combined with Sulphur and other valuable remedies for dandruff, itching scalp and thin weak hair that is split at the ends or constantly coming out A few applications of this valuable remedy will bring back the color, and in a short time it will remove every trace of dandruff and greatly improve the growth and appearance of the hair.
