Almost every one knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compounded,
brings back the natural color and luster
10 the hair when faded. strealsd 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 drug store for 'wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" you will get a
large bottle Of this famous old recipe
for about 90 cents.
Don't stay gray! Try It! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened

appears. and after another application

''As an instructor in geography. the

that Il has begun to take fits proper place

edge OF history" says Claude S. Briggs.

"Unnumbered bsttlefields which figure

Of Our country famous landmarks that
are rich in associations both in war and
in peace, are too frequently located so
as to be difficult of access from rail-
roads, but they are within easy and con-
venient reach OF the man with a motor
car. II he cares to visit them.
Every community in the United States
has in It, or near it. some landmark that
has played an important part in either
local or national history, and the grow

objects can be traced TO the fact that
more and more people are able to reach

Big Crowds at All
Openings in Major
and Minor Leagues

That base ball has not gone back is
evident from the size of the crowds
throughout the country. 1t is admitted
that the expenses are greater than ever
before, but 1t must also be admitted that
the attendance has increased accordingly
There is not a minor league in the coun-
try that did not surpass all previous rec
ords for opening day attendances, and
In many cities where the attendance was
rot so good throughout the 1914 season,
the attendance figures surpassed any
thing in the clubs history. Some of the
major league clubs did not draw so well
in the opening day games. but that was
not for lack of base ball enthusiasm
Since the magnates, in their, efforts to
get all there is out OF the public. have
started playing interleague games they
seem to have taken the edge off OPEN
ing day, which In the past was a gala
day throughout the circuit. Major league
crowds are large on an average, but iso-
lated instances OF exceptional crowds are
not so noticeable. In the long run the
attendance at major league games is in
creasing, and this season should be one
OF the best the game has ever known.
The minor leagues are generally the first
TO show signs of the bad times, but this
season their success presages great
things for the game.

OVERLAND ROADSTER
WINS IN OKLAHOMA

A stock Overland roadster won the
racing championship of Oklahoma. de-
cided by ninety-nine mile contest. held
under the auspices of the newly-formed
Southwest Race association. A large field
of Sfteen entries competed for the COW
eted title.
Large stands which had been erected at
several points around the two and one
half mile course were crowded with spec
tators. Hundreds had made the trip
from northern Oklahoma and Kansas
to attend the two-day meet, the first Of
it's kind ever held in the state.
There was n great local rivalry over
the championship event. as all of the
cars were owned in Oklahoma and the
drivers were Oklahoma men. Several OF
the cars, however. had been specially
constructed for racing. Others were prac-
tically rebuilt for speed.

REQ TRUCKS CARRY BIG
LOADS OF MILK AND CREAM

Ira Wilson. dairymen OF BEDFORD, Mich.
says It would be impossible to do with
horses what he does with motor trucks
Not only would 1t be impossible for hte
horses to cover the ground the motor
trucks do, but the slow pace of the
horses would render the entire PROPOSE
ton out of the question.
Mr.. Wilson carries milk. not only from
his own but from surrounding dairy
farms on contract with =, the Detroit
Creamery company on basis Of so much
per 100 pounds per mile.
His present equipment is two REQ two
ton trucks-and he has an order for q
third. Each OF these trucks covers ninety
miles every day and carries, instead of
it's rated two-ton load. from three to
three and one-half tons OF milk.

Quoting series Of interesting expert
ments on the streets of Omaha with the
Maxwell %.
A Maxwell mounted on a big wagon
truck, has been connected for stationary
engine work and operates a sawruill. a
pressure pump and an emery wheel. A
rear tire has been removed and the belt
runs from that wheel to the pulley shaft
which operates all the machinery The

another Maxwell car. This gives another
demonstration Of Maxwell construction.
The big truck is hitched directly to the
rear axle of the machine and the axle
bears the full strain OF the load. On
this car is a big sign bearing the query,
is this axle strong enough for you?"
The object of this demonstration is to
illustrate the possibilities for making use
OF the modern motor car for stationary
engine work on the farm In a similar
demonstration at Chicago recently the
little Maxwell pulled truckload of nearly
1000 pounds, and it will be demonstrated
this week that the car develops ample
power to run any ordinary farm machin-
