to continue to rise, the prices are
moderate.
Turkeys, for instance, sell from y
to 81 cents. They are of extra hne
quality this year and in sizes Just
suitable for the average family; that
is, eight to twelve pounds. The great
big Toms can be bought cheaper,
but are usually too big for the fam
lily. M
Geese and ducks range around ~
and p cents a pound and are also
fine birds, freshly killed and picked.
Chickens are about 70 cents.
If you want sausage for stuffln it
costs ~ cents a pound. Pork loms,
hind quarters or fore quarters OF
spring lamb will form the meat course
for some people. These cost, re-

you have committed still graver
crimes against this nation for the
purpose of helping Germany in the

ry on the war, and that our laws are
still binding Notwithstanding the war

The Department is proceeding OF

out presuming to form final JudS-
r1ent on the insufficient facts now at

j view that the ship falls within
the category of vessels that should be
visited and searched to determine
whether it actually was Of belligerent
character. The fact that there pro-
badly were no Americans aboard the
Cvmric. that she did not carry 'S-
sengcrs and that she was heavily
laden with war material for the al

pires is question. Before the last ship
ment was received it looked very much as
tho the next weeks issue would have to
be postponed. Paper houses all over
were lmportuned for supply and fl
nally two small shipments were obtained
to last until the mills should deliver a
carload to one or the other of the Job
bers. Conditions are almost incredi-
BILE and unless something is done soon
the price of paper will go to such a
point as to force many papers out of
existance.
With regard to the claim made by
many that the paper manufacturers
have arbitrarily forced the price of print
up and shortened the production with
intent to increase profits, there has been
a Federal Commission appointed to
investigate costs and profits of the
paper making industry. The Commits
sion will meet next week in Washington
and all newspaper publishers, manufac-
turers and others interested in the in
vestlgation are invited to be present. 1t
is question whether anything will
come OF the investigation. Possibly
some regulation of exports of paper may
be attempted but there is little immed-
late relief to be looked for.

# HAIR IS TURNING
GRAY, USE SAGE TEA
Here's Grandmother's Recipe to
Darker and Beautify
Faded Hair.

That beautiful, even shade of dark,
glossy hair can only be had by brewing
q mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Your hair is your charm. It makes or
mars the face. When. it fades, turns
gray or streaked, just an application or
two of Sage and Sulphur enhances its
appearance hundredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the mixture;
you can get this famous old recipe i'm.
proved by the addition of other ingredi-
ents for so cents a large bottle, all ready
for use. It is called Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound. This can always be
depended upon to bring back the natural
color and lustre of your hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it dark
ems so naturally and evenly that nobody
can tell it has been applied. You simply
dampen sponge 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 beauti-
fully dark and appears glossy and lus-
trous: This ready-to-use preparation is
2 delightful toilet requisite for those who
desire dark hair and youthful appear

state and about thirty-fve are now
pending final action. Reports from
Iowa where game preserves have been
established for number Of years are
to the effect that wild game has in
creased about double.
The purpose of establishing game
preserve is to protect the wild game.
Here the birds and wild animals could
be left alone to increase. The Mime
apolis branch have promised the Mic
ollet county branch of the Minnesota
Game Protective league that in case
a preserve is established in this coun-
ty a number of quail and pheasant
would be sent here from the state
farm at Lake Minnetonka. The game
would be given careful attention by
local sportsmen and in the winter
shelters would be built for the birds
which winter here, In case there
should be scarcity of food small grain
and other feed would also be furnish
ed. I m.t,
The idea of establishing a game
preserve is noteworthy and should re-
ceive the cooperation and support
of all true sportsmen.-St Peter Herald.
