FALL GRAIN CAME THROUGH
WINTER IN SPLENDID CoNDI-
TIoN AND UNHURT.
FARMERS ARE ALL BUSY NOW
Every Available Acre will be Sown-
Crop Conditions Throughout Entire
Northwest Reported Good.

The rain of this week has caused
everyone to feel happy as It's one of
the essential factors in bountiful
harvest this fall on Camas Prairie. Not
that crops at present are needing rain,
far from that, but merely that the rain
will help to. insure a bumper crop.
Those who have had an opportunity to
go out on the prairie and get glimpse
of the fall sown crops bring back the
most encouraging reports. Fall sown
grain is looking fine and never was
better at this time of the year.
1t was feared for a while last winter
that the small amount of snow which
fell would not protect the winter grain
but it appears that there mas been alb
solutely no injury on this account
though perhaps some of the crops which
were put in late in the year were in
iured somewhat but to no great extent
As whole the crops could not look
better. The steady cold which visited
the prairie during the month of Decem
ber froze the, ground deeper than fol
some years before and there was nc
freezing and thawing to injure the
crops. This deep freezing had another
good effect in mellowing the soil ant

Last Saturday evening the ladies of
the Rebekah lodge gathered in the of
flee of DR.. jackson and as John Byers
was passing called him in and made
him stay in the office until about 9
o clock when the whole crowd went
up to the hall and John complied with
the secret formalites of admittance
for himself and as he was being admit
ted the ladies rushed into the ante
room of the lodge.
The unexpected and pleasing visit of
the ladies was next revealed to the
lodge which soon concluded the forma-
lities of the session and joined the
ladies in the ante room. The crowd
then went into the lodge room and en-
gagged in pleasing amusement and
games and in the meanwhile a party

sumptous lunch ready to refresh the in.

AS soon as the lunch was prepared
and the tables were set the crowd filed

presided as toastmaster and contribut

calling upon several members of the
lodge to add to the entertainment OF
the fair guests. After everyone had
dined, conversed and laughed for some
time the meeting was adjourned to the
lodge room and the fun and pleasure
still continued, everyone dancing un
til midnight.
Of course some of the lodge members
grin when they say they were surprised
and intimate that they were in on the
secret, but they have nothing to say
except that they had one of the best
times of their lives last Saturday night

Allen Working in Tailor Shop.
Former State Treasurer Allen and
Former Deputy Treasurer Coleman are
accepting the penalty of confinement
philisophically. They seem to genuinely
appreciate visit from friends, when in
tuition tells them idle curiosity has not
prompted the call. Neither is unduly
reserved and they converse with free
dom on subjects directly applying to
their trouble when the conversation
might appropriately drift that way.
Coleman is librarian and Allen has
been allotted to the tailoring shop.
Each is interested in the great nation
al game, and Coleman occasionally gets
into the lineup. Both were spectators
today. A visitor could not avoid being
impressed with the spirit of comraderie
manifested by the convicts. There
seems to be a disciplined cordiality
that is congenial. Warden Shook
abandoned the old stripes over a year
ago, substituting prison gray, with
loose blouse effect, which with hats of
diversified styles, gave the baseball
crowd today more the atmosphere of a
big gang of workingmen who might be
indulging in the sport during the noon
day rest. Dan Worth, who several
years ago killed Mclaughlin, miner
in feed yard at Lewiston after a ses
sion with alcohol during the dry
days, was among the liveliest on the
coaching lines today. He worked his
way during the excitement of the game
from the first base coaching lines
around to right field, and when Barker
hoisted the ball over the fence, Worth
in his glee poked fellow convict OF
the rival side quite emphatically in the
ribs.

GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA
TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR
She Made Up q Mixture Of Sage Tea
and Sulphur to Bring Back Color
Gloss, Thickness.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur. properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome. Nowadays,
by asking at any stose for "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you
will get O large bottle Of the famous
old recipe for about so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as 1t does 1t so naturally
and evenly. You dampen sponge or
soft brush with 1t and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. by morning the gray
hair disappears. and after another ap-

time they could only wonder how the
day OF battle was going. When the
forenoon was well advanced they saw
Germans advancing.
Jean, who can speak German,
called out, We are thirsty; please
give us something to drink. He was
heard by some officer OF uhlans, who
rode up, and. dismounting and cover
ing them with his revolver, asked
what was the matter.
I'VE are thirsty replied Jean.
The German looked at the little
group. He saw his countryman lying
dead with an empty flask beside him,
and guessed what was the scene of
comradeship and bravery which the
spot had witnessed. He gave instruc-
tons to an orderly, and wine was
brought and given to the two wounded
men. Surely, that Is q scene and q
deed which will wipe out many a bit
ter thought and memory Of war!
Just then the cannonade burst
forth again with tremendous fury, and
the German force which had come up
had to retire. Shells were soon burst.
ing all around, and fragments struck
the English officer. He became de.
lirious with pain, and the young
Frenchman, stir, feverish, and weak
himself, saw that 1t was necessary to
do something to bring the officer to q
place where he would be safe and
would receive attention.
Jean tried to lift the Englishman,
but found that he had not sufficient
strength left to take his comrade on
his shoulder. So, half lifting him, and
dragging and rolling him at times, the
gallant little piou-piou brought the
wounded English officer nearer and
nearer to safety and help The jour-
ney was two miles long! But

THE two men came upon some

they were recognized and taken in

strength left to shake hands and say
goodbye.

He is SOME CORN HUSKER
Michigan Man Claims Championship
and May Do Husking Act
in Vaudeville.

Grand Rapids, Mich.-P. z. Thomas
OF this city claims the championship
of Michigan for corn husking. He es-
tablished a new record this year on
the farm OF r. G. Brumm, near Nash
vile, in Barry county, when he husked
146 bushels in ten hours, an average
OF II 3-5 bushels per hour. or one
bushel to each 42-7 minutes. His
best time during the day was Is
bushels in 40 minutes.
Mr.. Thomas grandfather was an
expert husker and at one time did
even better than the grandson's best
record, 'husking 16S bushels in ten
hours. His father husked 147 bushels
in ten hours.
Mr.. Thomas has made a business Of
husking corn for II years. He says
the corn in Mr.. Brumm's field is the
best in which he ever worked. The
corn. is OF the Folsom yellow den;
variety, which was introduced into
this locality by W. H. Burd Mr..
Brumm's field contains S l-6 acres and
the total yield was LAB bushels, an
average Of 40 bushels per acre.
There is no question about the cor
rectness OF Mr. Thomas record. as
accurate time was kept on his work
and on the measure of his corn by
Mr.. Brumm. Mr.. Thomas says he ex.
poets to beat his own record and that
OF his grandfather next year. He may
