Portland. Me-. May l7.-Elec-
tric and steam car traffic center
ing in Portland has been par
alyzed BY the floods that have
been caused by the heavy rain
fall which has prevailed in the
past 81 hours and damage
amounting to thousands of dol
lars has been done by washouts,
flooding of cellars and wrecking
of bridges. In the town of Var
mouth an area of more than
eight acres in the center of the
village is covered by water.
Passengers on the electric rail-
road running through that town
between Portland and Bruins
wick were transferred by row
boats across the flooded tract.
The public library is completely
surrounded by water and in
accessible. The family of David
Morrison was taken from home
in boats and removed to the
house Of a neighbor.

THE VILLAGE EDITOR

Even zeal and industry has its
drawbacks, it seems.
Over at Prentice, Messrs. Grimm &
Prentice are getting out one of the
best and newsiest papers that reach
our exchange desk. In spite of the
fact that the town is rather small,
they never fail to fill the NeWs-Calu-
NETS pages with live news and de-
scriptive articles. News is an elusive
article sometimes, and doesn't hap
pen on demand, but has a way Of
running in bunches.'' One of the
things that at times makes some ed
ltors peevish, drives some to drink,
and others to selling gas carts, is the
fact that one week we are worried to
death with what we have to leave
out and keep everybody pacified and
the next week we are distracted with
the proposition of getting the pages
flned up some way, and getting the
rag out some time before the week
is over.
Brother Prentice has an easy-flow-
Ing pen and possesses an unfathom-
able we'll of fine language such 2
thing as dearth of news doesn't

bother him at all The fact that IN
such times he doesn't fall back up
on the convenient, almost life-saying
boiler plate doesn't seem to be
fully appreciated by all his readers,
however, judging from the following
poetic effusion, received from a Prem
tice citizen, and which We give space
as rather a good joke on our indie
fatigable brethen of the pencil push
ing fraternity:
Of all the men that WELD the pen
Our scribe is quite the latest,
For every thing on foot or wing
He makes out quite the greatest.
How can it be the smallest tree
Is larger than another
And every man from Pat to Dan
Is greater than his brother?
When facts are bare the words to
spare
Ut this he has no lnkllng,
But like bell that's shaken we'll
He makes a steady tinkling.
About barn he tells a yarn
A story big as thunder,
And of a mead Of which / read
He makes monstrous blunder
With eagles spread he makes head
A floWery bed Of ease,
Through all the things that trouble
brings
Full many joys he sees.
Through time until thy sheet to fill
On words thou dOst not llnger,
Though still afar from guiding star
Aim there a hopeful finger.

LADIES'! LOOK YOUNG,
/. DARKEN GRAY HAIR
Use the Old-time Sage Tea and
Sulphur and Nobody
will Know.

Gray hair, however handsome. denotes
advancing age. We all know the advan-
tages of youthful appearance. Your
hair is your charm. It makes or mars
the face. When it fades, turns gray and
looks streaked, just few applications
of Sage Tea and Sulphur enhances it's ap-
pearance hundred fold.
Don't stay gray! Look youngl Either
prepare the recipe at home or get from
any drug store 50-cent bottle Of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound"
which is merely the old-time recipe i'm
proved by the addition of other ingredi-
ents. Thousands of folks recommend this
ready-to-use preparation, because it
darkens the hair beautifully, besides no
one can possibly tell, as it darkens so
naturally and evenly. You moisten a
sponge or soft brush with it, drawing this
through the hair, taking one small strand
at time. By morning the gray hair
disappears; after another application or
two, its natural color is restored and it
becomes thick, glossy and lustrous, and
Won appear years younger.
oVyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
Is d delightful toilet requisite. It is not
intended for the cure, mitigation or pre-
ventioa Of disease.

nlOnI1I hTlnM of last issue to actual ono
subscribers ......... O+O

Republican voters of the assembly
district comprised of the counties Of
Rusk and sawyer have two Lady
smith men to select from for the
nomination to the lower house of
the state legislature-V. V. Miller
and Fl. w. True.
Both are good men and we believe
will conduct clean campaign, such
as will reflect credit on both vic
tor and vanquished when the voters
have had their say. That is the kind
Quoted; nothing is to be gained by
anything else. In the last issue of
the Reporter, which is published at
Hawkins, attempt is made to bellttle
and ridicule the candidacy of Mr..
Miller because of the fact that he is
secretary of the Rusk County Fair.
This article probably made some
votes for Mr.. Miller in that section
of the county in which the Reporter
any from him. It is to the credit of
Mr.. True that he expresses unquali-
fled disapproval of attempting to
conduct a campaign on such lines.
Mr.. Miller has made an efficient sec
rotary of the fair, which is not to
his dis-credit; nor either is it quail
fication or disqualification for the
office of assemblyman.
We believe Mr.. True would be a
very good man for the district to
send to the assembly at this time.
His ability as business man cannot
be questioned. There is no pressing
need, or general demand, for any
new or reform legislation: what this
district does need is a man at Madi-
son Of good, sound business judgment
who will be on the job all the time,
to work for legislation needed to
promote the development of Upper
Wisconsin, a man who will devote
his time and ability chiefly to fur
thering the needs of his constituents,
rather than to politics. This need is
well expressed in the issue of the
Rusk County Journal of July 81, 1916,
in the following language:
AS we understand it, neither Rusk
nor Sawyer county is interested in
promoting any great innovation in
legislation. We have had new laws
enough, in general, and there Isl
little call for new legislation ex-
cept in the way of promoting the
settlement of the newer portions
of the state, a thing which has
heretofore been neglected. What this
district needs is level headed man
who has the best interests of Up
per Wisconsin at heart and who will
work faithfully to that end. Aside
from that, the main thing needed at
this time is economy in administra-
ton"
H. W. True admirably fills these
essential needs. We believe the vo-
ters would make no mistake in send
Ing him to Madison.

Allies Landing Forces.

Berlin, Jan. 14 by Wireless to Say from Sofia say that information has been brought there by person who left Saloniki on Jan. to the effect that the allies contin- ued to land forces on considerably increased scale at SaIoniki ana at Or fano Bay, fifty miles northwest of Saloniki. Despite the heavy forces a1- ready landed and concentrated in the Salonili camp, no purpose of taking the offensive has yet been displayed on the part of the allies who accord ing to this informant, have completed their second line of defense and are working actively to finish the first line.
 The allies at Saonili are said to have grown exceedingly optimistic and their officers express the belief that they can make a second Ypres of Saloni<i.
 Other despatches from Sofia give details of the attack by the squad- ron of twelve German aerop1anes on the British camp at killindir, near Saloniki, on which occasion, it is stated, several conf1a grations were started by the dropping of incendiarv bombs. Details also are given of the attack by French airmen two of whom Were forced to descend.
