LEE COUNTY
CROPS HURT
BY RAINFALL
MUCH COTTON WASHED AWAY
Reports Are Not Very En-
COuragiDg
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

Leesburg, Ca, April 30.-From re-
ports received from practically all
sections of this county the loss by
the recent heavy rains, which were
felt here during the first three days
of last week, will be very great. Es-
pecially has the early cotton been
damaged
In fields where there was slope of
any marked degree the young cotton
, has been washed up very badly. So
badly in fact that in many places the
cotton has been plowed up and is be-
| ing replanted. This necessitates de-
lay in the handling of this crop and
also an additional expense that serves
to reduce the profits made on the crop.
| 1t is not from one isolated section
iof the county but from many that
these reports are received, so that
the loss in this county alone as the
result of the rains will probably be
pretty heavy. 1t will undoubtedly re-
suit in the diminishing of the amount
of cotton planted

YOUR GRAY HAIRS d.
QUICKLY VANISH
If Yea Use A Harmless Remedy Mad1
From Sage.

A feeling of sadness accompanies
the discovery of the first gray hairs
which unfortunately are looked upon
as helalds of advancing age. Gray
hair, however handsome it may be,
makes a person look old. Aside from
the good impression a youthful APP
pearance makes on others, simply
knowing that you are looking 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 ina few days time?
Most people know that common gar
den sage acts as color restorer and
scalp tonic as well. Our grandmothers
used a Sage Tea" for keeping their
hair dark. soft and luxurant. In
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem
edy We have an ideal preparation of
Sage. combined with Sulphur and 9TH
er valuable remedies for dandruff,
itching scalp and thin, weak hair that
is split at the ends or constantly COM
ing out. A few applications of this
valuable remedy will bring back the
color, and in short time it will re-
move every trace of dandruff and
greatly improve the growth and APP
pearance of the hair.
Get a fifty cent bottle from your
druggist today and notice the differ
ence in your hair after few days
treatment All druggists sell it, under
guarantee that the money will be re-
funded if~the remedy is not exactly as
| represented. Special agents, Murray

Complaints Are Very GCnGf-
al Locally

Farmers coming to Amerieus yes
report considerable cotton dying n
the fields, after a good stand had

This disaster is attributed to the
recent heavy rains, which washed the
cotton fields badly and to succeeding
cold mornings.
In some localities the young cot
ton has died to such extent as will
necessitate replanting, entailing ad-
ditional cost and labor
Corn has been damaged recently

DEEP WATERWAYS
w 0ULD LOWER
COST OF LIVING

Little Rock. Ark, Sept. ga deep
waterway from the Great Lakes to the
Gulf of Mexico would lower the cost
of living to the millions of people in
the mississippi valley and eventually
to the whole population of the United
States.
This statement was made in the op-
ening address of President William K
nual convention of the gulf deep wa
terways'r association here. Illness
made it Impossible for. Kavanaugh to
read his address and President 8. e.
Conway of Chicago performed this du-
tV.
The project would benefit the coun-
try more than the Panama. Canal, de-
clared Havana ugh, and he suggested
that the workers and machines en-
ployed the isthmus be transferred
FROM the canal to the Mississippi riv
er. The deep waterway would cost
considerably less than the Panama
Canal. said Kavanaugh.
a very important phase of this deep
waterway" he declared. has been in
dicated by the recent record brealing
floods in the Mississippi valley. These
floods have been more damaging than
any before.
1.-THE opening of the Panama Canal
Is a mere bagatelle compared to this
completed project. I do not believe
that the canal will be of that benefit
to the people of the United States that
its cost would indicate unless this
deep waterway is quickly completed
The argument that the deep water
ways would lower the living cost was
based on the report of o. P. Austin,
expert of the commerce and labor de-
partment at Washington.
THE average price of transporting
wheat railroads is 10 cents per
bushel for 1 900 miles ON the ocean
one cent per bushel for 1000 miles, .
said Austin.
President Kayanaugh also showed
that the real rate in the Great Lakes
was 8 1-2 times greater.
