the Day When william johnson
and r. Norris Williams
Meet.

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-On the courts

resenting the east and the west. will

ttonal champion in the feature match
of the day; Peck Griffin. national
doubles champion, will tackle George
M. Church, western and northwestern
champion; R. Lindley Murray, nation
al indoor champion. will oppose Wat
son NJ. Washburn. former '.met"
champion and Willis E. Davis, nation
al clay court champion, will meet
Karl Behr, former middle states cham
pion.
Interest is centered in the last
match Of the day when Johnston and
Williams meet. The national cham
pion defeated the Philadelphiau in
the championships last year, but lost
to him on several other occasions.
Many are picking Williams to defeat
the Californian in his start toward
number one In the ranking this year
The Pacific coast recquet wielders
are slight favorites to win the inter
sectional matches. The terrific hit
ting of Davis. Murray and Roberts
should give them the edge If Williams
succeeds in holding Johnston in the
feature match.

Only Connie Macks Athletics. With
Record Of Fifteen Straight

Middle Mark.

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-With Row
'and's Chicago White Sox now in the
lead, the American league standing
today shows the unique situation of
seven teams with averages of better
than 500. BY their thirteenth straight
victory yesterday the ST. Louis
Browns climbed just above the fifty
fifty mark. Only Connie Mack's Ath-
letics, with record of fifteen
straight defeats to date, are below
the line.
Bill Donovan's demoralized Yam
KEGS tumbled another notch in losing
their seventh straight game and a
visit to Ban Johnson, as well as a
hurry call for all Yankee talent dec
Grating the bushes was the result.
Urban Shocker, the sensational To-

mond, have been ordered, despite pro-
test by their International league
owners, to report to Donovan before
the end Of the present series.
The National league race takes on

ELECTRICS TO
PLAY MADISON
keokuk Team Will Attempt to Even
UP for Defeat Of Last
Sunday.

Fort Madison Gem City: The Keo-
kuk Electrics are coming back to
Fort Madison next Sunday afternoon
with blood in their eye and with all
of the star baseball talent Of Keo-
kuk and vicinity In their makeup,
intent on destroying the Fort Madi-
son Athletics. 1t is their intention
to get" Fort Madison, and that they
will exert every bone in their body
to do so is certain.
Manager Kern will be equally pre-
pared for the invasion of the re-
venge seeking Keokukians. He is
strengthening up his line for the at
tack and is assuring the fans Of the
city that his team will lose only after
a hard battle, but he adds-with a
knowing look-'"They won't lose"
The game should be one of the best
that has been seen on the local dia-
mond this season. The fact that
Keokuk feels the sting of playing
second to Fort Madison in the mat
ter of baseball has prompted the
great rivalry between the two cities
that now exists.

ADJUSTMENTS.
BURLINGTON Fair,

The few people from this vicinity
who were fortunate enough to attend
the 1915 Tri-State fair at Burlington.
Iowa, were amazed at the magnitude
of the proposition, which had been
built in so short time.
Although the advance notices de-
scribed the fair in glowing terms, the
reality was SO far beyond the expec-
tation OF the public that all who visit
ed the fair were simply astounded and
nothing but words of praise wore
heard for the gigantic effort of the
business men Of Burlington, the farm
ers of Des Moines and adjoining coun-
ties and the able manner in which
the fair was carried out.
Especially noticeable, was the clean
wholesome manner, in which the fair
was conducted Not one thing of an
Objectionable character was permitted
and the proper preparations were
made in advance to protect the public
from imposition of any kind.
It will be remembered that on
Thursday when the crowd completely
filled the spacious emphitheatre, the
boys peddling refreshments tore down
the price schedule cards and proceed
ed to clean up" at the expense Of the
patrons. The plain clothes" men
stationed in the stand were soon on
the job and after making the boys
hand back the overcharge, they were
elected from the grounds and the an
nouncer called attention to the fact
that the price Of pop is five cents,
don't pay any more" and this is only
fair example of the thorough man
agement of the fair in all departments.
ment that the 1916 fair which opens
August 18th and continues to the 18th
Is one hundred per cent bigger and
better than last year. This does not
seem possible but We will have to give
them the benefit Of the doubt after the
big surprise of last year.-Advertise-

IF HAIR is TURNING
GRAY, USE SAGE TEA
Here's Grandmother's Recipe to
Da-ken and 6eautify
Faded Hair.

That beautiful, even shade O. dark,
glossy hair can only be had by brewing
a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Your hair is your charm. It makes or
mars the face. When it fades, turns
gray, streaked and looks dry, wispy
and scraggly, just an application or
two of Sage and sulphur enhances its
appearance a hundredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the tonic;
you can get from any drug store so
cent bottle of "Wythe's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" ready to use. This
can always be depended upon to bring
back the natural color, thickness and
lustre Of your hair and remove dand-
ruff, stop scalp itching and falling hair.
Everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur because 1t darkens so natur-
ally and evenly that nobody can tell it
has been applied. You simply dampen
songe or soft brush with it and draw
this through the hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the gray
hair has disappeared, and after another
application it becomes beautifully dark
and appears glossy, lustrous and abun-
dant.-Adv.

American sand American History.

Gutzon Borglum's criticism that Americans do
not know American history is merited, the morc's
the pity. If our people were more familiar with
the story Of their country, how its foundations
were laid and how its greatness was reared, they
would realize il was built up on principle that
has suffered immensely for the last three years.
They would know that until 1913 there was no
time in the history OF the country when the title
OF American citizen not the greatest safeguard
an individual could have; it meant security every
where. 1t doesn't any more. They would also
know that the spirit Of the Americans who made
this nation the greatest in all history was not
warlke, but devoted to justice, and right; it did
not seek peace in ignoble submission to imposi-
ton America grew great because its people
were not too proud to fight; were slow to wrath
but we're resstless when once aroused to action
and could not be brought to rest quietly under
injustice. That spirit is not dead, but 1t has been
chloroformed and kept stupehed for the last three
years Just now il shows signs Of awakening
Let Americans get better acquainted with their
country's history and the experiences in Mexico
and elsewhere will not be repeated
