Disappearance of tie Dinosaurs.

One of the most sudden changes in ami
NAL life revealed in geologic history took
place about the close of the Mesozoic era,
or age of Reptiles" as it is sometimes
popularity called. In Mesozoic time the
most powerful animals were huge land
reptiles, known as dinosaurs, whose bod
les have been found in abundance in the
Rocky mountain region. At or near the
end of Mesozoic time these great mon
sters suddenly disappeared from the
western country, as well as from the re-
mainder of the world They left no de-
scendants but in the following Age OF
Mammals" or Cenozoic era, their places
as rulers of the earth were taken by the
mammals. The cause of the disappear
ance of these great reptiles has been
matter of rather truitless speculation.
ANY explanation which will be acceptable
must also account for the disappearance
of a great many forms OF animal lie
and the great modification Of most OF the
others. both on land and in the sea. Some
general cause which would bring about
changes in climate and other conditions
of life seems to be a necessary part OF
any satisfactory explanation.
One of the regions where dinosaurs
fingered long in swamps and river flood
plains was in northwestern New Mexico,
though apparently that was not their
last stronghold. The same region, now
included in San Juan county, has long
been well known to students Of the past
life of the world, because it has fur
nished the best and most varied remains
of a primitive mammal fauna that came
upon the scene soon after the dinosaurs
disappeared. 1t is extremely interesting
to find the contrasting vertebrate lite OF
the Mesozoic and the Cenozoic cras in
single district and in successive deposits,
all laid down by streams on land.

SAGE TEA DARKENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't Stay Gray! Here's an Old-Time
Recipe That Anybody Can
Apply

The use of sage tea and sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother's time
She used it TO keep her hair beautifully
dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever
her hair took on that dull, faded or
streaked appearance, this simple mixture
was applied with wonderful effect
But brewing at home is mussy and
out of date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for 50,cent bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compuond,'
you will get this famous old preparation,
improved by the addition OF other ingre-
dents, which can be depended upon to
restore natural color and beauty TO the
hair.
A well known downtown druggist says
il darkens the hair so naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has been
applied You simply dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one strand at
a time. By morning the gray hair dis
appears, and after another application or
two, it becomes beautifully dark and
glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
is delightful toilet requisite for those
who desire more youthful appearance,
1t is not intended for the cure, mitiga-
ito nor prevention of disease-Adv,

People Like to Have Their Names Re
membered.

One of the many things which has con-
tributed to the success of George c.
Boldt. the well-known hotel man, is his
ability to remember the names of his
guests. A writer in the December Amer
Jean Magazine tells how he does it. He
says:
Early in his hotel experience Boldt
discovered that there is no item of cour-
tesy which pleases a guest much more
than simply to be remembered, to be
called by name. And SO Boldt made a
special effort on this point. Finding
that he was rather lacking in this phase
of memory, he set out to develop his
mind in this direction.
"He found that even the simple pro-
cess Of repeating a name over to him
self two or three times helped tremen-
dously. You are introduced to man,
and are apt to be looking at him so in
tently that you do not even hear his
name when it is spoken. Boldt always
made il a point to catch the name-to
have il repeated if necessary. Then he
said il over TO himself two or three
times, while associating it with the mans
face and with his general appearance.
He made a mental picture to himself Of
the way the name would look when writ
ten out"

Owner of Large Cattle Ranch

Chicago, Dec. 6--That the nations flu

production being made profitable to the
farmers" and that on an average for
twenty years, it has not been profitable
were statements made to-day by Ed

the National Conference OF Marketing

"The question Of privately owned and

Mr. Lasater, ethan whether a navy shall

with the defense Of our national honor
and rights the other with whether there
is to be anything worth defending.
"The Romans occupied the world for
generations as rulers; from nation OF

Their wheat fields yielded more than
thirty bushels an acre, and, we'll nur-

world When the scepter of power passed
to other peoples, the Roman fields yield
ed only three bushels to the acre of
shriveled, chsffy grain. As their wealth
had increased the people had become
money and power mad and the dominat-
ing element of their population congre-
gated in the cities, leaving the farms TO
be titled by hired or slave labor and in
stead of farming they mined their soil.
Mr. Lasater pointed out that this coun-
try could see parallel in Rome's story,

Gas a nation we cannot tolerate an
agency operating between producer and

entitled. We the common people, whom,
according to Abraham Lincoln, the Lord
loves because he made so many of them
acting through government agency,
must have a thorough investigation OF
all problems entering the production and

therefrom. Thus livestock production so
essential to the feeding of our people and
to the restoration of soil fertility, may
be saved to our nation"
