FORD'S GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

Week of October 18th, B. H. Frazee
presents the funniest farce in 20 years,
A FULL HOUSE,
by Fred. Jackson. Direct from the Long
acre theatre with its entire original cast
and production.
"A Full House" trimming over with
fun, and the most captivating comedy
New York has known in years, comes to
Ford's next week with the entire original
cast.
This merry play kept the Metropolitan
laugh lovers busy during the six success
full months at the Longacre theatre.
1t is sponsored by H. H. Frazee, fore
most producer of laughter plays, and is
from the pen of Fred. jackson, young
magazine writer, who shows refreshing
novelty in creating new devices to COM
pei laughter of an audience.
New York took it from the start, every
newspaper declared it the funniest farce
seen in years, with cast strong enough
to bring out the light and shade of the
thousand farcical situations in the piece
that ran on Broadway six merry months.
Its many merry complications begin
with possession of travelling bag, caught
up during wreck by young lawyer,
and found in his possession he is accused
of burglary, and its takes many perplex-
ing scenes to finally unravel the mystery
and put things straight.
"A Full House" has the advantage of
the same company seen in it during its
six months run on Broadway. The en-
tire performance will be seen exactly as
presented at the Metropolis.
Matinees-W Wednesday and Saturday.
Admission Is and 80 cents.
Evenings Soc. rs cents and $l.OO.

Secured.
Jaskson.-The right of the State of
Tennessee to escheat a tract of land
in Obion County thai was sold by a
negro, William Brooks, to w. C. Far
ris was the legal question argued in
an interesting suit heard in the court
of civil appeals. The case is styled

acre tract of valuable farming land.
which he claimed to have come into
possession of by the death Of his wife,
Maria Greer, whom he had deserted.
He sold the land to w. c. Farris for
$50 per acre. Since then Farris has
received $1,000 in rent from the place,
besides selling valuable timber from
it. Then the attorney-general of the
state brought suit against Farris on
the grounds that the negro from whom
he had bought the land had secured
the deed fraudulently. In the chan
Gerry court Of Obion County the defend
ant won. Chancellor C. P. Mckinney

abandoned his wife that act did not
prohibit him from coming into owner

MORNING SMILE ALWAYS BEST

Every One Should Try to

things are said which cause unpleas-
ant recollections when, an hour later,
the day is in full swing, and the mind
has lost its abnormal sensitiveness.
Happily, the haste that engenders
satirical gibes also serves to mitigate
their severity, and by the time the FAM
lily is assembled for the next meal,
much that was said in haste at break
fast is forgotten. But not all of it. A

1t is this occasional shift that con-

way to petty annoyances at breakfast
time. One way to avoid 1t is to get up
ten minutes earlier. This affords time

SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR
DARKENS YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look Years Younger! Try Grandma's
Recipe Of Sage and Sulphur and
Nobody VIII Know.

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 we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy" You will get a
large bottle for about 50 cents. Every
body uses this old, famous recipe, be-
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair. as it does it
30 naturally and evenly. You dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time; by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
and glossy and you look years younger.

Penny Pains Conscience.

Because she cheated" the weighing
machine in the Union Pacific depot
here out of penny more than year
ago, the conscience of an Abilene
woman has been bothering her ever
since, according to letter received
by G. w. Mills, the company's agent
here.
In her letter the woman stated that
more than a year ago she and her
daughter were in the depot waiting
for train. The daughter placed
penny in the weighing machine, and
after it had registered her weight, and
before she stepped from the machine,
the mother stepped on also, and was
weighed free. This worried her SO
much that she inclosed stamp il the
letter, and asked Mr.. Mills to place
penny in the weighing machine, thus
easing her conscience.-Junction City

MORE POTASH COMING.

American crops and soils are still as
hungry for Potash as before the out
break OF the European War, which
curtailed the Potash shipments.
Some Of the Fertilizer Companies
are trying to induce farmers to buy
the ohe-sided low Potash or no Potash
fertilizers of generation ago. This
means fertilizer that is profitable to
the manufacturer, but not the best for
the farmer. When the Syndicate in
1910 started the direct sales of Potash
to dealers and farmers at reasonable
prices, Potash sales increased SIS per
cent. In one year, clear proof that
farmers know that Potash Pays. They
know that Potash gives good yields,
good quality and resistance to plant
diseases.
Many Of the Fertilizer Manufacture
ers are willing to meet the farmers
wishes and sell him what he thinks he
needs. These manufacturers are now
willing to furnish as much Potash as
they can secure. They offer goods with
per cent, and even In some cases 10
per cent. Potash, II the farmers insist
on It.
Shipping conditions are improving.
more Potash Is coming forward al
though the costs Of production and
transportation are higher The higher
price Of fertilizers Is not due wholly
to the slightly higher cost Of Potash.
Much of the Potash that will be used
in next springs fertilizer had reached
America before the war started.
There is no substitute for Potash.

tilizer Of twenty years ago than we
