Groundkeeper. Get Busy.

The groundkeepers spread dainty nap
kins over the bases and pitchers box at
the start of the intermission, and these
coverings were about as useful as cam
brio handkerchief over the business end
of hydrant.
Umpire Connolly, after waiting twenty
minutes, decided to go on with the game.

deep with mud, and mammoth puddles
dotted the outer gardens.

threw out Milan at third. as Clyde was
stuck in the mud up to his shoe tops

Krichell came to bat in the Browns
third, and Hughes had delivered three
balls, it started to pour down cats and

A HARMLESS way. TO
DARkEN THE HAIR.
A Little Sage and Sulphur Makes
Gray Hair Vanish-A Remedy
For All Hair Troubles -1->

Who does not know the value of
Sage and Sulphur for keeping the
hair dark, soft and glossy and in
good condition? AS a matter of fact,
Sulphur is natural element of hair,
and a deficiency of it in the hair is
held by many scalp specialists to be
connected with loss of color and vi
tality of the hair. Unquestionably,
there is no better remedy for hair
and scalp troubles, especially prema-
ture, grayness, than Sage and Sui
phur, if properly prepared. s.
The Wyeth Chemical Company of
New York put out an ideal prepara-
ton of this kind, called Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, in
which Sage and Sulphur are combin-
ed with other valuable remedies for
keeping the hair and scalp in clean,
healthy condition. H. -. -. E.
If your hair is loosing it's color
or constantly coming out, or if you
are troubled with dandruff or dry,
itchy scalp, get fifty cent bottle of
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur from your
druggist, use it according to the
simple directions, and see what a
difference a few days treatment will
make in the appearance of your hair.
All druggists sell 1t, under guaran-
tee, that the money will be refunded
If the remedy is not exactly as rep

EASTER CANES

: 15 Z - *
sYNHE people fof Holland are not
much given to change, and If
you should, chance to visit some
OF the eastern provinces about Easter
/ time you would find the children Of
the peasantry following some. of the
old customs that have been In practice
for hundreds of years.
One is called the SPAIN Paschen.'.
which really means Palm Sunday, and
for whole week before Easter the
boys and girls go from house to house
begging for eggs.
They sing as they walk and carry the
palm paschen, a long stick with a
green wreath on the end, in their
hands. These are the words Of their
song:
Palm, Palm Sunday! @
Hei-koeerei! az
Soon it will be- Easter,
And we shall have an egg
One egg, two eggs.
The third egg is the Easter egg.
They knock at every farmhouse and
are very seldom sent away empty
handed.
When they have collected as many
eggs as they wish they boil them hard,
stain them brown with coffee or red
with beet root juice, and when Easter
day comes they carry these eggs to the
meadows and play what they call the
"Eiertikken."
This game consists Of sitting on the
grass IN circle, each child knocking
his egg against that OF the child next
to him or her It is usually done SO
that only one egg is broken, and the
owner Of the whole egg is winner Of
the broken one.
The game ends when there are no
more eggs to break.
Another Easter game played in the
Netherlands on Easter Monday is call.
ed the ''Eiergaader." For this the inn
keeper provides the eggs He, with all
the people, go to the village green,
where the eggs-perhaps twenty five in
number-are placed at equal distances
along the road. The distance between
each is about twelve feet. "
In the middle Of the. road is tub Of
water. In which floats the largest apple
to be found. Two men are chosen.
One with his arms tied behind his back
must eat the floating apple to the last
bit before the other picks up, while
running, all the eggs and arranges
them In basket. ~
The one who finishes his task first
Is the winner and has the eggs for a
prize. 50
You can imagine the fun they have
with the man who tries to eat the APP
pie. 49,
The egg dance is a pretty custom,
which may still be seen in some parts
Of rural Switzerland. .>. as
A number Of eggs. perhaps hun
dred are scattered over level space
and covered with sand Then a cou-
pie, taking hands. dance over them
and if they can finish the measure
without breaking an egg they are be-
trothed, and not even the most obdu-
rate parent can separate them.

CIVIC MORALITY LOW IN OHIO
Where Womans Suffrage Has Just Suffered Defeat
Which Is Temporary Since it Will Be Brought Up
Again Under the Referendum

will again be submitted to the people
of the state for a vote.
There is a lot of good natured fun
novelists but the truth is that the
state, as a commonwealth, is unusual
in it's high level of intelligence.
Hoosiers think for themselves
And desire, if they are so permitted,
to perform their civic functions in
accordance with the dictates of en-
lightened common sense
That is one reason why the Progress
sive party has made such Roadway in
Indiana.
Indianians recognize the benefits of
organization for one thing and have,
at the present time, one of the strong
est organizations of Progressives in
the country
And they have, also, one of the
best systematized suffrage bodies in
the Franchise League.
The state is fortunate, for one thing,
in the location of it's capital.
Indianapolis, in the center of the
state. is the radiating center for the
activities of it's citizens in every field
of publicity and social propaganda.
And it has the greater advantage of
being the metropolis.
In Ohio Columbus, it's capital, is
more or less negligible.
Cincinnati, the states metropolis, is
located in it's South Western corner
and is more Southern in complexion
than not.
The state, in fact, lacks homogene-
ity, since it's population in the
north and south of the state varies
widely as we'll as in it's eastern and
western confines.
1t does not, because it cannot, con-
centrate it's activities as can Indiana.
And that's a reason why the suffrage
amendment lost out.
But it's only temporary defeat.

That there is nothing new under the

vaudevillains played melodiously on
hand-saws and alarm clocks.
While the bill is we'll balanced it is
the truth that the star of the week
end aggregation is a certain imperson-
ator of a rural character-not having
a corrected program at hand the name
is not possible to record at this writ
ing-who is genuine comedian and
as funny as some other performers
try to be and can't.
This man is the best feature of the
program for the latter half of the
week. He very cleverly portrays a
character of this sort-essentially
green" with sort of unsophisticat-
ed shrewdness and natural wit-and
without exaggeration. His perform
ances on the hand-saw are curious, and
