GREAT CROWD SEES CARNIVAL

The Great Wortham Carnival COM
pany, which is showing in this city,
had record-breaking crowd for a
carnival in this city last night. The
character of the shows attracted
some of the best people Of the city,
who as a rule never attend carnival
attractions.
The Chamber of Commerce is to be
congratulated upon securing this at
traction for the week, and if good
weather prevails, all previous records
for attendance will be broken. The
shows are so far above the ordinary
carried by carnival companies that
there is no comparison whatever,
and every one is clean and moral.
The management has left nothing
undone for the comfort and convent
ence of their patrons, and deserves
the warmest commendation for the
manner in which everything about
the grounds is conducted.
The Wortham Shows arrived in
this city very highly complimented
by people in other cities where they
have shown, and they are living up
to that reputation here.

BAND PLAYED FOR VETERANS
Director Montin and His Men Most
Cordially Received.

Perhaps the most appreciated con-
cert given by the Fifth Field Artillery
Band was that given at noon at the
Confederate Home.
Opening with southern melodies,
the old folks were doubly affected as
their old-time familiar songs were
so beautifully rendered. Especially
affected were they when the boys
sang "Old Black Joe" and when Di-
rector Montin played as a solo, "Su-
vance River" and when immediate
ly afterwards Dixie" came, the
change was remarkable and spon-
taneous.
The climax of the concert was
when the band stood and played
THE Star Spangled Banner" an old
veteran came out with Old Glory, and
at the close of the music addressed
the band boys, and told them that
while once upon a time they fought
for a principle, they only recognized
one government and one flag. The
band boys gave them great cheer.
Before leaving the home the old men
and women gave rousing cheers for
the band.
The following donated cars to take
the band and visitors to the home
w. R. Roberts, Don Lacy, Mrs. Wal
ter Gilbert, Mrs. n. B. Feagin, Hal
Spragins, Mrs. c. l.. Anderson, Mrs.
DR.. Chivers, Mrs. Sid Underwood,
Mrs. McClaine and Mr.. Reeder.
While the old southern melodies
We're being played, many Of the aged
inmates were in tears, and it is safe
to predict that never was more ap-
preciative audience assembled to pay
tribute to a great band. The event
was one of the features Of Style
Show Week, and will live long in the
memory of everyone present.

WILL REMINDER CITY
BEFORE DIRECTORY CENSUS

Col Z. L. Gregory of the Ardmore
Statesman appeared before the city
commissioners last night asking them
to get the houses OF the city renum-
bered before the census taking of the
new directory begins. The commits
sioners decided several months ago
to have the houses of the city re-num-
bered and have purchased the numbers
to go on the houses. They even secured
two men to take charge of the renum-
bering a week ago, but the director of
the work secured a better job and quit.
Colonel Gregory is very anxious to
have the numbering done before the
compiling of the names for the direc-
tory is undertaken. The city commits
sioners after deliberation appointed
committee of three consisting of the
city engineer, the building inspector
and the fire chief. to take charge of
the REMEMBERING of the city and to
have it done at once.
The city commissioners promised %
buy a liberal number OF the direc-
tories for the different departments
of the city. believing that they should
do everything possible to help in get
ting the new directory for the city.

Yesterday was another day of fea-
lures at the Style Show. The city,
as on previous days, entertained
many out-of-town visitors, and the
merchants had very attractive dis
plays in their show windows.
Three excellent concerts were play
ed by the Fifth Field Artillery Band,
one in the morning, at the junction of
Main and Washington streets, and
the afternoon and evening concerts
at the tent where the automobile
show is being held. All three con-
certs were heard by large crowds
who were very generous in their
applause for the efforts of Director
Montin and his men.
The auto show was perhaps the
center of more interest yesterday
than any other feature, the classy
cars on display attracting prospective
buyers and spectators. The associa-
tion deserves great credit for this
remarkable display, which would
have been much larger had weather
conditions been different the opening
days of the show.
AS special attraction the Bust
ness Mems association has arranged
for another concert by the band to-
night at the High school auditorium,
which will be the end of the musical
program of that organization in this
city. AS an added attraction, the
Fifth Artillery Glee club will sing.
The club is composed of members of
the band, and they will render solos,
quartettes and trios.
The Business Mems association de
serves a great deal of credit for the
manner in which it has conducted
the first annual Style Show. Not an
feature has occurred 50
far to mar the pleasure of the thou
sands of out-of-town visitors who at
tended. Today and tonight will wit
ness the end of the Style Show, and
it will come with regret to the many
visitors who have spent the week in
the city.
Nothing but favorable comment
was heard from any one. The show
was a revelation to the out-of-town
visitors who were not prepared to
see it carried out on such an elabo-
rate scale, and Ardmore has received
a great deal of favorable advertising
as the result of the efforts of the
Business Mems association. Elated
over their first effort, the officers
and members of the association an
nounce that their next years show
will be on more elaborate scale,
and will surpass anything of the kind
ever given in this or adjoining states.

In the Cuarettes wood, west Of the

through the French line defending
Verdun was made by the Germans
this morning in a dashing attack with
flame projectors. East Of the Meuse
there was no fighting during the
night, although the artillery kept up

May Change the Line.

San Antonio, Tex, April II.
General Funston announced
today that a change will be
made soon affecting the line of
communication between Co.
lumbus and Pershing's advanc-
ed forces. He declines to state
what the change was, but bar
ring the free use of the Mex
lean railroads, it is assumed
that it has been decided either
to reinforce the line materially
or shift it to a shorter route.
If the plan is shifting, it in
wolves great difficulties and
some danger to the advanced
detachments. 1t is pointed out
that the removal of the thou
sands of men between Colum-
bus and Satevo must be accom-
plished either by moving them
laterally toward the east, or by
returning to the United States
and re-entering at the new bor-
der base.

Ell Paso, Texas, April l2.-
That the American expedition
ary force has penetrated lar be-
yond Parral and is near If not
actually at the Chihuahua-Du-
range border line, is indicated
in code dispatches received this
afternoon by private concerns.
1t is said that the Americans
had a temporary base near Par
raj and toward the end of last
week, the motor trucks had de-
livered supplies there. This is
the first authentic information
coming from the flying columns
in several days.
1t seems certain that Villa,
if he still lives, has passed into
the mountain Businesses of Du-
range, and that he is in posi-
ton to get in touch with the
scattered bandit forces of that
district.

LADIES'! SECRET TO
DARKEN GRAY HAIR
Bring Back it's Color and Lustre
with Grandma's Sage
Tea Recipe.

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and luxuri-
ant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur
recipe at home, though, is troublesome.
An easier way is to get the ready -to-use
preparation improved by the addition of
other ingredients, costing about SO cents
a large bottle, at drug stores, known as
"Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Compound"
thus avoiding lot of muss.
While gray, faded hair is not sinful we
all desire to retain our youthful appear
ance and attractiveness. By darkening
your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound, no one can tell, because it
does it SO naturally, SO evenly. You
just dampen 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. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound is delightful toilet requisite.
1t is not intended for the cure, mitigation
or prevention Of diesase.

BENEFITS FROM HAVING
COUNTY REPRESENTATIv

Farmers institutes are as a rule
especially successful and helpful in
counties employing agricultural rep
resentatives.
This is the opinion of farmers, who
as institute conductors and instruc
tors have worked with agricultural
representatives in wisconsin.
Il was out a week with one of the
agricultural representative" said one
institute worker, land we drove from
town hall to church and to rural
school and held our meetings. The
county man had made all arrange
ments, he knew what the people
wanted and the conference hit the
nall on the head every time
That is the way it works. The a
grlcultural representative is the local
personal agent to find out what is
practical in the communities and
what each community needs. The
program of each institute is arranged
accordingly and there is no shooting
wide of the mark in what they really
want to know.
This fall Agricultural Representa-
tive R. A. Kolb of Taylor county will
hold a blowing contest in one of the
towns of his county and one of the
farmers institute conductors will he
present to assist in the demonstra.
ton. During the remaining days of
the work this conductor will go with
Mr.. Kolb to a number of communities
and talk upon swine management,
continuing the Introduction of the
Tamworth breed of hogs in that
county. Thus, two birds will be hit
with one stone. Taylor county will
soon be ready to market straight cars
of hogs of one breed and the hogs
will be of better quality due to bet
ter notions of swine management.
Thus aimless and expensive adver-
Using is done away with Better at
tendance will be secured owing to
close range rather than long range
advertising.
The Agricultural representative is
on the job after the institute is over
and gone and an effective follow
up cinches the interest started at
the institute and get thins done. So
the institutes materialize to the good
of the farmers and the county.
