Had His Eye On the Boat.

Alexander Carr has a reputation as
a wit and story teller only equaled by
his reputation as an actor. His latest
story was told the other night and
runs as follows:
Two Hebraic gentlemen, friends of
long standing, went to the lake and
each hired rowboat for a trial of
skill and strength. In the middle of
the lake one tipped over his boat and
sank from sight. Coming to the sur
face close to the bow of the other
boat he shouted:
'Tkey, Ikey, save me, can't swim!"
Carefully holding the boat a few
feet away from his drowning friend,
the other looked on unmoved.
Again the unfortunate one sank be-
low the surface, and as he came up
for the second time repeated his cries
for help.
"A third time he came up, and then,
as he started to disappear from sight
for the third and last time, his friend
shouted:
able, IL you don't come up again
can have your boat?"

THE FIRST GRAY
HAIR SIGN OF AGE
Easy Way to Preserve Natural Color
OF the Hair and Make Il Grow.

A harmless remedy made from
common garden sage, quickly restores
gray hair to natural color. The care
Of the hair, to prevent It from losing
It's color and lustre, is Just as impor-
lant as to care for the teeth To keen
them from discoloring. Why spend
money for cosmetics and creams to
improve the complexion, and yet neg
lect your hair when gray hair ls even
more conspicuous and suggestive Of
age than wrinkles or a poor complex
ion? Of the two, 1t is easier to pre-
serve the natural color and beauty OF
the hair than It is to have good COM
plexion.
All that is necessary is the occa-
sional use of Wyeths Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy a preparation Of
common garden sage and sulphur,
combined with other valuable remedies
for dry, harsh, faded hair, dandruff
itching scalp and falling hair. After a
few applications Of this simple, harm
less remedy, your hair will gradually
be restored to It's natural color, in a
short time the dandruff will be re-
moved, and your hair will no longer
come out, but will start to grow as
Nature intended 1t should
Don't neglect your hair, for 1t goes
further than anything else to make or
mar your good looks, You can buy

DAMAGE TO
CROPS IS
NOT GREAT
WHEAT, OATS AND HOPS ALL SUF.
FER SOME BUT FIRST REPORTS
WERE MUCH EXAGGERATED
FRUIT CROP HELPED.

A canvass Of the condition OF tn,
grain crop throughout the Willamett,
valley reveals the fact that the dam.
age done to the oat crop by the recent
rains has not been so heavy as at first
estimated This grain will not be fit
for milling purposes but It's value for
feeding has not been materially re-
duced. The oat crop of the Willamette
valley is Of superior quality for mill
ing purposes and when It is taken out
OF this class It will reduce the price
which 1t brings in the markets. The
prospect now is that all Of this grain
will be safely harvested without fur
ther loss, as the recent warm weather
has thoroughly dried out the shocks
and threshing has begun again.
The condition of the wheat crop is
not so good as the oats. From one
fourth to one-third of the wheat crop
was unthreshed at the time the rains
began and of this portion very little
will be Of first-class quality. Some of
1t was in the stack and some of the
shocks were capped, which will be Of
good merchantable quality, but of that
standing in the shock the kernels are
soft and many Of them have sprouted,
which will render the wheat of no
value for milling purposes, but only
good for feed. This loss will not be
serious as there is always large
amount of wheat used for feed.
The present favorable weather is a
boon to the farmers and fruit growers,
who are taking advantage Of 1t by
rushing their harvesting with all pos
sible haste.
