Little Rock, Oct. 6.-Commissioner Page has returned from tour of in- spection of the zinc district of North Arkansas, and reports greater acti- vity there than ever known in it's history.
 It is a remarkable fact, and one that has never before been published that the output of Boone, Marion, Newton, and Searcy counties, in ac- tual tonnage, for the first nine months of this year, is equal to the total shipment of the seven preceding years. Following is an official state ment for the last nine years, of the tonnage and value of zinc ore shipped from North Arkansas:

sume their appointed roles. Mean while Russia whose armies, for five months, have been retiring, have be- gun an energetic offensive along a wide front from Riga to the south west of Wilma and according to unof- ficial reports has already met with considerable success. This however, is denied by Berlin which says that all the Russian attacks have been re- pulsed.
 On the western front the big guns are again attempting to level the Ger man entrenchments presumably in Ar tois and Champaign. In some sec tions there has been infantry fighting with a trench or a few yards of a trench changing hands, this being par ticularly the case in the areas where the allies have made their gains and where the Germans are trying to wind back the lost ground.
 The British fleet is almost constant ly bombarding the German positions on the cost of Belgium.

COTTON JUMPS $2,

After Early Climb Market Suf-

New York, Oct. 5.-An additional advance of approximately $2 bale re- fected a further scaling down of crop estimates in the cotton market this morning, but attracted heavy realizing as well as some selling for a reaction under which about half the gains were lost with the close steady, Is to 23 points net higher, January closing at 12.98c.
 The market opened firm at an ad- vance of 24 to 37 points in response to higher Liverpool cables, bullish overnight advices from Southern spot markets, the unfavorable showing of the weather map, which indicated more or less general rains and a light frost at Oklahoma City and predic- tlons of bullish weekly report to- morrow. There was a good deal of realizing and considerable Liverpool selling around the initial figures and prices soon reacted 9 or 10 points from the best. Prices during the middle of the morning sold 40 to A points net higher, or up to 13c for December, l3.20c for January and 13.47c for March.
 This represented an advance of full ly S6.50 a bale from he low level of last Friday and realizing again be- came heavy, particularly from Wall street sources. Buying continued ac- tive and there were many predictions around the ring of ultimately much higher values, but the decline carried December off to 12.79c, January to l2.96c and March to 13.23c. or some 20 to 24 points under the high level of the morning during the late trading.
 Liverpool c&bled that the South was showing more anxiety to sell and that the advance had checked consumption, but there seemed very little selling in the local market and there were ru- mors that spinners were buying De- Icember on the early advance.

Up to Sept. 1, 1915, the total ton mage shipped is estimated at 5400 tons valued at S270,OO0. It is estimated that there will be approximately 10,- GOO tons shipped this year, or twice as much as has been shipped in the az gregate since records have been kept. This will be worth about half mil lion dollars. at the present price of zine.
 There is a notable increase in the mining activity in Searcy county, which has not heretofore figured very extensively in the shipments. Many old mines are being repaired and re opened. and new mines are being opened up. New mills of 200-tons ca pacity are being installed at the Churchill property, 16 miles from Marshall. at the Bennington mines near Gilbert, and the Maumee mine fifteen miles North of Marshall.

MURDOCK'S LIGHT
Retiring Kansas Congressman
Believes in Progressive Party.
He Says Democratic Disruption
Will Mean Its Triumph.
BACK TO NEWSPAPER GAME
He Returns to His First Love
Without Regrets
And Will Devote Time to Edit
ing Wichita Eagle.

Washington, March with the
end of the Sixty-third congress today,
Representative Victor Murdoch of
Kansas, Progressive leader in the
house, dropped his official toga and
returned to private life. His valedic-
tory message was as follows:
II am going back to the writing
game That IS where 1 belong. L
have a lot of lecture engagements this
spring which will keep some of the
newspaper harness off of me for
awhile. But eventually L expect to
have my full newspaper weight against
the collar, as editor of my paper in
Kansas. I leave public life without
any regrets or personal ambition.
II believe the Progressive party will
survive and eventually triumph, GER
tainly it's principles and ideals. think
the first step in that direction will be
disruption in the Democratic party,
which is not a year away. In fact 1t
has already started.
You can make an independent
voter out of a partisan but you can
not make a partisan out of an indie
pendent voter.
G. o. p. Split Forever.
The disruption in the Republican
party is therefore permanent. And
party will be permanent. Out Of the
breakup of the two parties will grow
a great Independent vote which will
be the basis of a new party.
This evolution may be slow but a
reformer without patience is unworthy
of the name.
THE first great step-a step already
partly taken in the mass-is the crea-
ton of independent thinkers, an indie
pendent sentiment, a great mass of
independent voters. Until this is ac-
complished real reform will be de-
layed. But this metamorphosis of Vot-
ers is already in evidence. 1t is grow
ing particularly in the Democratic
party. Protest against the party label
as such is increasing. The indepen-
dents are increasing by thousands.
Their votes will soon be controlling"

Don't Stay Gray! Nobody Can Tell
When You Darker Gray, Faded
Hair With Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and abundant
with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair fell out or took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect. BY asking at
any drug store Tor ''Weyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" you will get a
large bottle of this oldtime recipe,
ready to use. for about so cents. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty to
the hair and is splendid for dandr uff,
dry, itchy scalp and falling hair.
a well known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur, because it darkens so natural
Iy and evenly that nobody can tell it
has been applied-it's so easy to use,
too. You simply dampen a comb or
soft brush and draw it through your
hair, taking one strand at a time. By
morning the gray hair disappears; af-
ter another application or two, it is
restored to its natural color and looks
glossy, soft and abundant.-Adv.

2,40O per cent on the investment.
Richard Sharp of near Larned
threshed four wheat stacks and they
netted 100 bushels of wheat. Cattle
had been running to the stacks or
probably the yield would have been
greater. He expects to have more of
the stacks threshed. The high price
of wheat makes it worth while, if his
first average holds out.
