Lar D DRAINAGE A NECESSITY
Well Drained Soil Will Give Best Re.
turns-Care Should be Exercised
In Laying Tile Drains.

Reply to j. G. Tally, Stevenson, Ala.
Drainage comes first, IL the land
needs It, and tile drainage Is the mod
ern and sensible way Of draining. II
the soil Is low in humus, stable manure
or vegetable matter must be added;
IL 1t is lacking In one or more Of the
elements of plant food, these must be
supplied In commercial fertilizer.
stable manure and legumes; IL It Is
sour, an application of lime is nee
essary; IL the soil is compact and there
is hard pan, deep plowing must be
done. But If it needs drainage, stable
manure, commercial fertilizer vege-
table matter, lime, and deep blowing
will be of little avail
There are many thousands OF acres
of land that are dry enough to induce
farmers to try to farm them and are
wet enough to soak all the profit out
Of cultivating them. Drainage on
such soils is very urgent.
Drainage may be very simple or a
very complex problem 1t may require
exact engineering so that every avail
able inch Of fall may be utilized or the
location Of the tile may be'so apparent
that the average practical farmer can
easily locate it with the eye. Between
these two extremes there are cases
requiring varying degrees OF skill.
If it is a complicated proposition the
services Of reputable engineer should
be secured; II there are merely wet
spots In your field, or II your field is
wet with plenty Of fall. you should
be able to locate and lay your tile with
no difficulty by following the methods
outlined in the Uniontown, Alabama,

FINDS AIS LoNe-LosT RING
Man Gets Wedding Band Buried In
Sand Three Years at kIns's
Beach In Massachusetts,.

Boston, Mass.-Three years ago
this summer ]. Franklin Brown, now
head bookkeeper In shoe factory at
Chelsea, lost wedding ring while
In bathing on Kings Beach, Swamp
soft. Today he has the ring, and be-
hind Its restoration is story Of
bit Of detective work.
Two weeks ago Arthur Getchell,
mail clerk in the Lynn postofice, was
rolling around on the beach in q
bathing suit when the sandy recess
In which the ring had lain hidden for
three years was exposed. The only
clue to the identity Of the owner was
an inscription on the inside which
read, From Flossie to Frank, Oct. ii,
1905"
How to find the owner on such a
meagre clue, when thousands bathe
on the beach every summer, was the
problem. For week Getchell
searched every place that he could
think Of. Then, remembering the
old adage about two heads being bet.
ter than one, he consulted a friend,
George F. Alley, and, out of their
conferences, a. bright thought popped
forth: "Why not look up the marriage
records on that date"
That settled It, They found
Frank and Flossie were married
and Frank lived then at SO Essex
street, Lynn, from where he was
traced. Flossie. before she became
Mrs. Brown, was Miss Lauckner of Al
Porter street, Lynn.

formal announcement of his candi-
dacy was made today by Jno. l.. Nc
Laurin, former United States senator

opened with eulogy of the late SEN
ator Green, as conscientious public
official. whose influence did much to
prevent factional bitterness. The
statement then goes on: 81 am en-
terlng this race in the hope that
can in a measure fill his place and
prevent this county and State being
torn to pieces through class strife"
Mr. McLaurin announces that if
elected he will go to the senate un-
trammeled by any aifiliation with
either side in the recent campaign
which, he says, has divided the legis-
lature on factional lines. at seems
to me-" he says. that / can serve a
good purpose in trying to bring about
harmony between the executive and
legislative branches of the State gov
ernment"
The announcement continues:
There are many public questions
that wish. to discuss-the waste of
our phosphate interests, better schools
and roads.
II can not see why we should spend
$l,00O,000 out of the State treasury
In building new asylum. Why not
sell the state farm, where they are
making cotton in competition with
cotton farmers and use that money :?
Put some convicts to mine phosphate
work the asylum farm and feed the,
inmates, and others on the public
roads. There is great profit in con-
Wet labor. Why lease them out to
Northern mill owners? | say utilize
1t ourselves and get the profit. The
State will treat these poor unfortu-
mates more humanely than those ac-
tuated by selfish greed Many things
of this kind run through my mind as
1 write. and l promise you that if I

will be done every minute of the time

SAGE TEA WILL

VIZ Quickly Removed.

There is nothing new about the idea of
using Sage for restoring the color of the
hair. Our grandmothers kept their hair
dark, glossy and abundant by the use of
a simple "Sage Tea" Whenever their
hair fell out or took on dull, faded or
streaked appearance, they made brew
Of Sage leaves, and applied it to their
hair with wonderfully Beneficial effect.
Nowadays we don't have to resort to
the old-time tiresome method of gather
ing the herbs and making the tea, This
is done by skillful chemists better than
we could do it ourselves; and all we
have to do is to cali for the ready-made
product, Wyeths Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy, containing Sage in the
proper strength, with the addition of
Sulphur, another old time scalp remedy.
NIhis preparation gives youthful color
and beauty 10 the hair, and Is one Of
the best REMEDIES you can use for dan
druif, dry, feverish, itching scalp, and
falling hair. Get fifty cent bottle
