HOGAN BREAKS BIG
TRUST CONTRACT
Railroads Forced TO Continue
Regular Excursions.

without litigation, but simply by
the quiet intimation that he had cogni.
zance Of the illegal compact, Attorney
General Hogan restored to the peo'
pie Of Ohio, and more especially the
farmer, the railroad excursions, and
removed once and for all time the
most powerful menace to the continu-
alton of the cents mile railroad
rate In Ohio.
The matter was first brought to his
attention by a man who told him It
was impossible to get special rates
for large excursion parties. and that
the roads had discontinued the run.
ming of excursion trains. Other bits
Of evidence indicating that an illegal
agreement had been entered into
came to General Hogan's ofiice. and,
putting them together. he discov'
efed that Ohio railroads had agreed
with the Central Passenger associa'
tion to crexte dissatisfaction with the
low rate law. by discontinuing excur'
sions. The reason to be assigned was
that Il was Improbable to continue
them 90 long AZ the low rate was In
effect.

few remaining luxuries left to the peo-
pie Of moderate means. Thousands

ing luxury and convenience. The
agreement made by the railroada- was
clearly in violation OF the antitrust
law. 80 he informed the concerns that
unless the contract was annulled he
would prosecute. The railroads re-
Piled that the attorney general had
not stated exactly the facts. and they
declared there was no such agree
ment. General Hogan remained firm
In his stand that there was. Railroad
officials ridiculed him. and then the

railroads yielded and excursions are

SCHOOL CHILDREN
who Left Exhibits With Mrs. Atwood
Can Secure Them From Her

Because of the fact that there was
a Misunderstanding among many Of
the Mt. Vernon school children, many
OF them did not get premiums on ex-
cellent work at tho Knox county fair.
Under the impression that Mrs. Ira
Atwood, who had charge of the de-
partment in which their work was
shown. could enter their exhibits, they
did not appear In person to make the
entries and, consequently, they were
not eligible to compete with other ex.
hibltors who personally entered their
exhibits.
All school children that had exhib.
It's at the fair can secure their work
by calling at the home OF Mrs. Atwood,

In this camragn the issues lie between the forces OF
Representative Government and Popular Government.
In Representative Government only part of the people

In Popular Government all the people have influence
because their executives and Legislators do dare

.0LD-T|ME| REMEDY
DARkENS THE HAIR
Gives Color, Lustre to Faded and
Gray Hair-Dandruff Quickly
Removed.

For generations Sage and Sulphur
have been used for hair and scalp
troubles. Almost everyone knows
the value of such a combination for
keeping the hair good even color,
for curing dandruff, itching scalp
and falling hair, and for promoting
the growth of the hair. Years ago
the only way to get Hair Tonic of
this kind was to make it in the home,
which was troublesome and not al
ways satisfactory. Nowadays, almost
an up-to-date druggist can supply
his patrons with a ready-to-use pro-
duct, skillfully prepared in perfectly
equipped laboratories. !
An ideal preparation of this sort
is Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy, in which Sage and Sulphur
are combined with other valuable
remedies for scalp troubles and thin,
weak hair that is losing it's color or
coming out. After using this remedy
for few days, you will notice the
color gradually coming back, your
scalp will feel better, the dandruff
will soon be gone, and in less than
months time there will be Won
derful difference in your hair.
Don't neglect your hair if it is
full of dandr1ff, losing it's color or
coming out. Get a fifty cent bottle
of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur from
your druggist, and see what a few
days treatment will do for you. All
druggists sell it, under guarantee
that the money will be refunded if
the remedy is not exactly as repre-
scented.
