ABOVE these three virtues, the citizen
must possess three additional virtues
which. while not SO fundamental in
character, are scarcely less necessary.

martial spirit or q wave Of popular
sentiment may sweep men from their
nresides to the battle front, but edu-
cation for citizenship aims to give to
the individual the power to live for his
country day by day and to labor un-
ceasingly for its welfare without the
aid that comes from a tide Of public
feeling. The native impulse, with its
note Of s~elf-oblation and self-sacriice,
which leads to p~arentage must be con-

Dunaway's Coonery Robbed.

Sharp Dunaway's coonery and 'possum ranch was broken into Friday night and more than 40 animals were stolen or escaped. Sharp is considerably worried today, as he expected to reap quite a harvest from the sale of the animals. The fact that none of the coons or 'possums have been seen in the neighborhood today leads MT. Dunaway to believe that robbery has been committed. Arkansas Gazette.
 Mir. Dunaway is well known here and was a visitor to Ozark about two weeks ago in the in- terest of a book, ''The Life and Speeches of the late Senator Jeff Davis," of which he (Duna- way) is the author.

PRONOUNCING
 MEXICAN NAMES

There has been a great deal of discussion as to the proper pro- nunciation of Spanish words since the Mexican crisis has be- come general topic in the United States and The Spectator editor having spent many months among the natives of our Spanish speaking countries in the service of the Federal government as we'll as on matters of private business, we believe we are sufficiently conversant with these Spanish names to impart to the public some information that will be exceedingly helpful.
 Owing to the fact that accent ed letters are not used in the average American newspaper office it is practically impossible to print accurate and proper in- structions as to the pronuncia- tion of Mexican words in the English alphabet The Spanish alphabet contains twenty-five letters and has neither an "x' or Wv" There is what is called an 'enyah" which is made with a double curve over the letter 'n." The Mexican language is almost wholly derived from the Spanish, yet there is a great difference in the pronunciation of two languages. The same is true of the Philippine language. In Spanish the vowels a, e, |, O, u-are in some words accented and in other words they are not. Pronunciation of the word de- bends wholly upon the presence or absence of the accented letter. The letter ''e" in certain words is accented, which changes it's meaning to the same as soft s. "
 Where there are no accented letters, the following rule will invariably apply: Every syllable is distinctively pronounced. and in all words the accent falls on

New Candidate Out.

Elmer Morrell of Franklin county, has entered the race for state senator and spent last week in the western part of the county in the interest of his candidacy.
 MT. Morrell is young man of ability and is most favorably known throughout his home county, where he has lived all of his life and where he has the confidence and good wishes of all of his friends. He will spend much of the time in Crawford county and will endeavor to make a thorough canvass of this section of the district. Mulberry Democrat.
The Spectator., 1916-03-14

next to the last syllable, unless there appears in the word an accented letter, and in that case the accent or emphasis, falls on the syllable containing the ac- cented letter. English news papers not using the accented letters makes it a prac tical inn possibility to pronounce correctly unless a person is somewhat familiar with the Spanish lan- guage.
 Here is the proper pronuncia- tion of some of the more import ant Spanish letters: "a" as ah, "b" as bay, 'c" as say. d" as day. "e' as aa, "j" as hu and wh, K" as kee, ''P' as ellie, y" same as i which is called "ee." "J' takes the place of K" in all instances, For in- stance, Mexican in Spanish or Mexican is spelled "Mejican. !" "V," except at the beginning of word, has the sound of "b." '" The word Havana, in Spanish is spelled with b." as "Ha- bana."
 There is also III" (double D in the Mexican alphabet. It is pronounced as "e.' For in- stance, Villa, is pronounced "Vee-ah. :" Where ever the ''rr' (double ''r") appears, trill the ''rr' like the local telephone exch hange girl does in "thr-r-r-ree."

FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies Are Using
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Hair that loses its color and luster,
or when it fades, turns gray, dull and
lifeless, is caused by lack of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made
up mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beautiful,
and thousands of women and men who
value that even color. that beautiful
dark shade of hair which is so at
tractive, use only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture by asking at any drug store for a
50-cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" which darkens
the hair so naturally. so evenly, that
nobody can possibly tell it has been
applied. Besides. it takes off dandruff,
stops scalp itching and falling hair.
You just dampen n sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand
at time. BY morning the gray hair
disappears; but what delights the
ladies' with Wyeths S, Sage and Sulphur
is that, besides beautifully darkening
the hair after few applications, it
also brings back the gloss and luster
and gives it an appearance of
abundance.-Advs

to meet informally and become real
friends instead of knowing each other
merely as manikins in the official
punch and judy show.
The tendency to stay awhile and
talk, instead of merely sending the
footman in with card. has led to the
revival of the teatable, which had long
been discarded by official society
Following the White House precedent
OF really serving something to eat in
stead of merely a nibble and n napkin,
these teatables are being more and
more generously laden.
THE regular feed is also a promi-
nent feature this season of the COM
ing out parties of the numerous Wash
Iington debutantes. Each official per-
son who comes to Washington seems
/ to bring about five persons of the fem
mime gender, most of whom are more
or less burdened with social ambition.
Naturally, this heavy importation of
feminine loveliness causes a chronic
stringency in the man market. The
! first requisite of social success for a
debutante in Washington is a follow
ing OF males who own dress suits and
can dance. AS result. the Washing

ciated individuals in the country. lie

must be seen to be appreciated-and
is not always appreciated then. This
is evidenced by the fact that the wives
of some foreign diplomats have prac-
tically given up formal entertaining
because of their inability to appreciate
the unconventional hilarity of the
young men who swarmed their draw
ing rooms and could not always be
identified by means of the invitation
list.
Most of these volunteer society men
are college boys. young fellows in the
government employ, students for mill
tary examinations and others of a
carefree and happy-g go-iucky status
who are naturally inclined to regard
society as their oyster.
