great hour at Bethlehem where she
had gone with Joseph. A census was

crowded: no lodging places remained;
no kindly homes opened. The only
place for Mary was in the underground
stable and ~storehouse in the rock, or,
possibly, In the great yard, among the

not so uncomfortable as some might

A beautiful picture is drawn in IN
OF the gospels Of an angel announcing
the birth Of Jesus and a multitude of

The story continues, how the shep-

Mary and Joseph fled to Egypt for

fails to awaken the best emo

Is it strange that this story never
grows old? 1t is the most wonderful

IF HAIR Is TURNING
GRAY, USE SAGE TEA
Cont Look Old! Try Grandmother's
Recipe to Darken and Beautify
Gray, Faded, Lifeless Hair.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and abundant
with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair fell out or took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect. BY asking at
any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy" you will get a
large bottle of this old-time recipe,
ready to use, for about so cents. This
simple mixture car be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair and is splendid for dan
druff, dry, itchy scalp and falling hair.
A well-known druggist says every
body uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur,
because it darkens SO naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has been
applied-it's SO easy to use, too. You
simply dampen a comb or soft brush
and draw it through your hair, taking
one strand at a time. By morning
the gray hair disappears; after an
other application or two, it is re-
stored to it's natural color and looks
glossy, soft and abundant. Adv.

The annual report Of President H. IT.
Nudge to the stockholders of the Roch
Island railroad contains a chapter entitled
"a Twelve Year Review" In which he
says:
1t has been estimated that the enforced
reduction in rates and the steady increases
in wages and taxes would reduce the Rock
Islands net revenue last year on the basis
OF the business of 1918 by about $40. oOO. ODN.
President Mudge's analysis shows that the
operation Of these factors on the basis of
the 1914 business, cut the Rock Islands
net revenue over $50 % 900. This tremen-
dous ~shrinkage Is mainly due to six fac
tors, zone of which, let 1t be observed by
critics of our railroads, Is subject to the
control of the railroad management.
These factors are:
Il, Arbitrary reductions by state and
federal commissions.
20. Wage increases demanded and en-
forced by labor unions.
"3. Higher costs of all forms Of material
and supplies.
"a. Increased operating expenses made
necessary by state laws. Three hundred
of these avs affecting the Rock Island
system have been enacted in the last live
years, most Of which are political Gre
ations, devised to make popularity fol
politicians.
IS. Increased taxes.
&c. Increased cost of capital"

are based are taken out of the reports re.

"State's Rights" Is Doomed.
From tho Kansas City Star.

It would be a happy thing If there could
be uniform procedure in all courts. state
and federal. The processes or ways of
administering justice go to the very root
of Justice itself. To ave varying and con-
ficting processes or codes of procedure Is
to have varying and conflicting Justice.
The lack of uniformity in the making of

A great obstacle to progressive state
action, designed to set right a wrong

forbids child labor.

SCHOOLS LIKE DENMARk'S
FOR lnE UNITED STATES

= ' y Y ' '
That the Danish Folk high schools for
sgrownups," which have made possible
the recent wonderful development in
rural Denmark, a be successfully
transplanted in modified form to the
United States, Is the conclusion reached
by H. w. Foght Of the United States
bureau Of education in a bulletin just
Issued. Mr.. Foght has studied both
the Danish schools and American rural
conditions at first hand, and he believes
that what the Folk high schools have
done for rural civilization in Denmark
they a do for the United States.
The place to introduce the new type
Of school is the region know as the
south Atlantic highland, according to
Mr.. Foght, embracing all of West vir-
Binia, AZ counties in western Virginia.;
Is in western North Carolina, n four
IN western South Carolina; 25 in north
srn Georgia; II in northeastern Ala
bama; 4b in eastern Tennessee. and 36
IN eastern Kentucky. It is not that
| these sections are necessarily behind
pther parts Of the country In education,
though much illiteracy prevails, but
that the peculiar local conditions de-
mand some institution like the Danish
| ychools.
There are already a few Folk high
| ychools in the United States, estab-
ished by Danish immigrants. While
| grave difficulties have been experienced
by these schools, Mr.. Foght Is Of the
| opinion that they are due to certain
special causes that could easily be
overcome in a real attempt to adapt the
! Folk high school to American life in the
mountains.
1.-The Folk high school spirit has
emancipated the agricultural popula-
ton Of Denmark" declares Mr.. Foght
"It has at least made country people
the peers of their city brethren. They
have become leaders in affairs, in pro-
duction, in distribution, In politics

ARMoRED CAR IN WARFARE
European Armies Have Found 1t OF
the Greatest Value in Their +
Operations.

Although an engine new to warfare.
the armored motor car has proved ex.
tremely useful, especially for outpost
and scouting duty. Fast, silent, and
mobile, it covers a vast amount of
ground on the splendid roads. that
crisscross the field of war in western
Europe. Most of the cars are incased
IN a light frame of tough steel plate
that ranges in thickness from three
s~lXteenths Of an inch to a quarter Of
an inch, and that is impervious to rifle
and machine-gun fire. All the vulner-
able parts of the motor, such as the
radiator and, steering gear, and in
some of the newest cars the wheels,
are protected by the steel covering.
The wheels, both wood and wire, are
said to Withstand the toughest sort of
usage. Accidents to the tires are
much less common than anyone would
expect. The cars carry a light arma-
ment-one or two machine guns SO
mounted that they can be swung
through a complete circle-and a
large supply of ammunition. The
crew, which may number from four to
eight or more men, are armed with
rifles and revolvers. Some of the cars
have a steel superstructure that rises
from the chassis frame high enough
to enable the crew to stand upright,
and that is capped with a domed roof,
from which bullets and shrapnel usu-
ally fly off at a sharp angle without
even denting the steel.-Youth's Com.
