SOME MORE STATS AT
 CITY COUNCIL MEETING.
Chamberlin Throws Another Gas Bomb that Almost Asphyxiates
 Other Members With Rage.

In writing about the city council it is terribly hard to be serious. With out wishing in the least to say any thing ofTensively fippant, one finds it almost impossible to speak seriously of the actions of that body. With this introductory excuse in anticipa- tion let us proceed to tell what hap pened last night in few short words without levity.
 Mir. Chamberlin presented a com municatiOn protesting against the latest scheme for improving the school building. This communication is printed elsewhere verbatim so that all the people may see it for them selves. Councilman Daggett, from the chair, the mayor being absent, with offended dignity accused Chamb- erlin of impugning the motives of the council or officials or something. He and Councilman Borgen, indeed, got hot again with that internal Chamb- erlin. It was suggested that the com munication be tabled and Chamberlin be sQuelched but Mir. BOrgen evident lv misunderstood the cue and moved that the communication be filed. Mir. Borgen then delivered an address dur ing which he suggested that the men who do not pay direct taxes should keep their mouths shut. They are doing all the agitating, he said, and they have nc children, nor nawthin'. This is still quite serious in spite of an ominous feeling that the risible faculties cannot be restrained. The stormy petrel, Chamberlin, followed by declaring that the whole thing about schools was "schOOlbOy proposition" and he went on to sug- gest that one or two members of the council are trying to be bosses and to create dissension at every possible chance. He even spoke of being rid den over by the inner coil of the gov erning circle. Curtis Morford of the school board was asked for an opinion and. somehow, his views seemed to bear out what MT. Chamberlin said. At least, he stated that his recOm- mendation had been turned down and that it was probably too late now to offer others or the same. He thought the plans presented by Archi- tect Kingsley and accepted, but later abandoned, were superior to the ones afterwards accepted from Architect Winstedt. Mir. Morford went on to state his opinion that his idea of bringing down the old building was still the best one. It saved money and would permit school to be open on time. Indeed the member of the board seemed to be entirely at vari- ance with the obstinate ones of the council whose actions are usually dictated by the fact that someone they dislike has suggested something else. After listening to Mir. Morford Councilman Youngs said it seemed to be a makeshift" whatever plans were adopted. The bids for the work according to the Winstedt plans are to be received this evening when the council meets again. The water franchise was passed, and then came an ordinance providing against juries in misdemeanors in the municipal court. City Attorney COppernoll said something about Seward being the only city that had such a regulation. The fire protection ordinance passed it's first reading. Finis.

scalp itching and falling hair. Mixing
the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at
home, though, is troublesome. An easier
way is to get the ready-to-use tonic,
costing about 80 cents a large bottle,
at drug stores, known as "Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound" thus avoiding
lot of muss.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our youth
full appearance and attractiveness, By
darkening your hair with Wyeths Sage
and Sulphur, no one can tell because it
does it so naturally, so evenly. You
just dampen a sponge or soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at time; by
morning all gray hairs have disappeared.
After another application or two your
hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy,
soft and luxuriant. and you appear
years younger.-Adv.

Germany NOW RAS answer
OF j. s. ON EXPORT RIGHTS

Washington, April 22.-The Ameri.
can governments answer to the recent
memorandum of Count Won Bernstorff,
the German ambassador, complaining
that while the United States had fail
ed to maintain its right to export food.
stuffs to Germany, it had permitted
the shipment of arms to the allies, was
before the German government to-day.
The shipment of arms, the ambassador
asserted was not in keeping with the
real Spirit of neutrality
The American note which had been
finally written by President Wilson,
had been sent by Secretary Bryan to
Count Won Bernstorff who transmitted
it to the German foreign office. The
reply is regarded here as a carefully
framed statement of the position of
the United States and it is believed
will clear up any doubt that may have
existed as to that position.
