TEXAS NOT TO DIVIDE,
 BUT BILL SERVES PURPOSE

Austin, Texas, Feb. 16-The bill to make a separate state out of she Panhandle section of Texas, al- though buried in committee today and fated to die by sentiment for the grand old state" served It's purpose. This was, as 1t author, Senator W. A. Johnson, pointed out in the preamble of his resolution, to torce the redistricting of Texas in accordance with the last census.
 The charge was specifically made that liquor interests were largely req ponsible for the failure to redis.rict and give the Panhandle section fair representation in congress. A "slush fund to control state poli- tics" was mentioned. and the in J cbitants of the proposed new state of Jefferson wished to free Of such domination" it was stated. Immediately following the John son resolution, a redisSticting bill was introduced and today was be- iieved to be certain Of passage at this session of the legislature.
 The great size of Texas is known to every school child in America. The proposition to divide Texas tn- to two or even more states is not a new one. But this year the Sug- gestion was received with less ridi- cule than ever, and a few political wiseacres were willing to predict that in the not far distant future such a bill would have fair chance of passing the legislature.
 Senator Johnson's bill proposed to organize a new sovereign state out of the four western counties and the so-oalled Panhandle district. The preamble declared this section

NO EMPHASIZES NEEDED
 SAYS LITTLE NAVY CHIEF

Washington, Feb. 1o-Not jingle ba.tleship should be built by his country this year." declared Senator Jones, of Washington, in discussing the naval appropriation bill. T will not make any fight to prevent one or two battleships being built for several reasons. The most important is that the naval beard seems to wish to keep up . certain program and I have no wish
 e interfere with that. But as to the actual value of battleships, l do not believe that the construction of one, two, three or four battle ships this year would add material ly to the strength of the power of resistance of the United States
 This great war now raging in Europe, and for that matter all over The world has demonstrated ono thing very clearly and that IS that a little submarine costing perhaps two or three hundred thousand dol lars and carrying less than one hundred men, can with comparative immunity sink a big g-dreadnaught Of the enemy that cost $15,000,000 and carries a crew of about 1000 men. When struck by the torpedo from the submarine, incidentally, the big boat becomes a mere death trap for the crew, including the scores of officers which the government owning the dreadnaught had spent so much money to educate and train.
 "The greatest lesson which we have learned in naval welfare 30 far in this conflict, therefore, is tue power and effectiveness of the submarine. Yet that Is where the United states is weaker than in all most any other branch, always ex- cepting aeroplanes, where 1t is weaker than anywhere else. This country should profit by the lesson which the countries of Europe have spent SO much money to demonstrate the enormous value Of the sub marine to harass and pick off the big fighting ships of the enemy. We should proceed to equip our navy with large fleet of submarines and train a large number of men In the handling of these boats, and the accurate shooting of torpedoes from them.
 There is another item which should be included In the naval ap- rropriation bill. That is a liberal allowance for the building of more cOlliers and supply ships for the navy. I regard it as disgrace that this country had 10 charter ships flying foreign flags to ac- company our fleet on its trip round the world because we did not have supp ly ships and colliers IF the na- " or for that matter in tho Ameri- can registry"

4 NEW PASTOR
 FOR DOUGLAS

One of the most interesting in- cidents connected with tke sailing Of an Alaskan ship was the farewell rendered the Reverend and Mrs. Martin L. Larson and hrle daugh- ter Bertha, when the s. ; Jeiler- son left Seattle for Douglas last Wednesday night.
 Rev. Larson who has been pas tor-of the Swedish Lutheran Geth- esemena church in Seattle for the past twenty-one and one half yeas was called by the Lutheran mission board of the AugustanS synod Of North America for the field at Doug las and together with lis wife and daughter and all their worldly eff fleets embarked for the trip to the Lorth.. Over two hundred of his former congregation were at the pier 10 wish them God speed, and as the boat cast off her lines, the assembled friends sang one of their departing pastors favorite hymns. Each person present wore a beautiful marigold and the travel CTS were presented with many beau tiful floral offerings.
 In taking up the missionary work at Douglas, MT. Larson succeeds the Rev. Warmanen who had left the field some years ago, since which time the mission has been vacant.
 This is the only Swedish mission in Alaska and the new pastor w,'l have jurisdiction over the whole Of tue territory, and will be at the call of any person who may be in need of his services throughout the district. It is the intention of Rev. Larson to give services in English and Swedish each Sunday, alternat- ing the language each service. He Is Q graduate of the AugustanR col lege and Theological seminary at Rock Island, III. He Is a great student and is able to perform the pastoral services in the pursuit of hia duties in Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, Danish and German.
 This is the third trip that Rev. Larson has made to Alaska, the first being twelve years ago, and the one prior to the present about year ago, when he came north to look over the field. He Is very en- thusiastic over the work, and ex- poets 10 especially serve the towns of Douglas and Treadwell, Juneau and Ihane, and will make frequent trips to Petersburg and Ketchikan.

TURN HAIR DARK
 WITH SAGE TEA Grandma kept her locks dark, glossy and thick with a simple mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur.

The oId-tirne mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur for darkeninS gray, stresI<ed and faded hair is grand mothers treatment. and folks are again using 1t to keep their hair q. good. even color. which is quite se:- sible. as we arc living in an age when a youthful appearance is of the great est advantage.
 Nowadays, though, we don't have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the nussy mixing at home. All drug stores sell the ready -to-use product called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound'' for about 50 cents a bottle. It is very popular because nobody can discover it has been ap- piled. Simply moisten your comb or a. soft brush with it and draw this through your hair. taking one small strand at 8 time: by morning the gray hair disappears, but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sul- phur is that, besides beautifully dark ening the hair after a. few applica- tions. it also produces that soft iustre and appearance of abundance which is so attractive; besides, prevents dandruff, itching scalp and falling hair

HEALTHY HAIR,
 SOFT, FLUFFY
 AND LUSTROUS

Many women envy the pretty hair of their friends without ever inquirlnS the reason why their own is not as at tractive. Rats pads and switches are far less assistance towards line head of hair than daily care and atten- ton.
 The natural secretiOns of the scalp often clog the pores and root glands until they cannot possibly carry out their functions. Ordinary combing and brushing does not get down to the real roots of the hair, and something more is needed to properly keep the hair and scalp in health and Vigor.
 Parisian Sage has been recognized for many years as one of the most valuable hair tonics and is daily mak- ing new friends because of it's un- doubted efficiency. the ease with which it may be applied and its cheapness.
 Faded, dull or hfeless hair is quickly restored to its natural beauty: dan druff disappears like magic, while otl- mess and stickiness vanish after a. few applications, leaving the hair perrnan- ently strong, glossy, soft and beautiful
 Do not wait until your hair is in really bad condition before doing any thing to keep it. Lee &s Osgood or any drug counter can supply you with Parisian Sage. It Is such a helpful toilet necessity that you cannot afford to do without it.

ANOTHER rNTEROc PANIC
 WATERWAY SUGGESTED
Secretary Bryan Would Get Option on One with Nicaragua and Costa Rica.


 Washington. Jan. 25.-Suggesting that it was not unlikely that the
 United States some time would build
 another inteTOCeanIC waterway to sup
 pIement the Panama canal, Secretary
 Bryan tonight explained that he re
 garded it as a wise precaution for the American government to negotiate treaties with Nicaragua and Costa.
 Fsica. giving this country an option
 on q canal route across that section of Central America. He also spoke of the importance of a naval base in the Bay of Fonseca and announced that the state department was prepared to treat for this with Honduras, Salvador and Nicaragua
 Any great enterprise like the Pan anna canal" said NIT. Bryan, involves uncertainties. For a long time the
 route across Nicaragua. was regarded as the favored route. As g. matter of business il is wise to provide against contingencies. Anybody who is inter ested in so large an enterprise as our
 canal at Panama can afford to pay q small amount for this additional r0ute'
 The secretary explained at length the purpose of the pending treaty with
 Nicaragua which. in it's original form awakened a protest from Costa Rica
 as we'll as Honduras and Salvador. He expressed the opinion that these pro- tests had arisen from a, misunder- standing of the purposes of the United States and thought the situation had now been clarified by the announced purpose of the American government to treat li5erally with Honduras and Salvador for their rights in the Bay Of Fonseca and with Costa Rica sep arateIy for her portion of the river San Juan. which forms a part of one of the suggested routes.
 As a result of these treaties the United States by the payment of s, 3,00O,000 to Nicaragua and about half that amount to Costa. Rica, would ob- tain an option on any canal route across those two countries.
