They Knew His Record

The Anti-Saloon League OF Colo
RADIO, issued its report just before the
election, in which it endorsed or
''black listed" candidates as best
suited its purposes.
1t endorsed and lauded Honest
John" Noonan, the Republican can
didate for district attorney; and OF
Frank Delaney, the Democratic can
didate, it said: People of the dis
trict know his record" or course, the
intent of this statement WAS to throw
out the inference that Delaney's rec
ord was bad one. But like all the
other disreputable slurs handed out
by Noonan and his followers, it made
votes for Delaney. Yes; the people
of the district knew Frank Delaney's
record and acted accordingly.
There are all kinds of ways of fmak-
ing a more or less honest living and
being member of the Anti-Saloon
League is one Of them.

In Russia more than half of the
number of horses taken to the war
have trotting blood in their veins.
Many registered trotters of Orlotf or
American origin are enlisted in the
cavalry and artillery regiments.
Some OF them had fast enough rec
ords. The Imperial Board Of Horse
Breeding after two years experience
of the war says that the progeny OF
developed speed horses have demon
strated much more endurance and
stamina than other breeds. The gov
ernment will, after the war, apply

Ladies! Darken
Your Gray Hair
Look Years Younger! Use Grand
mothers Recipe Of Sage Tea
and Sulphur and Nobody
Will Know.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair to its nat
ural color dates back to grandmoth-
er's time. She used it to keep her
hair beautifully dark, glossy and at
tractive. Whenever her hair took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, 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out Of date.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 s0-cent bottle Of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" you will get this famous old
preparation, improved by the addi-
tion of other ingredients, which can
be depended upon to restore natural
color and beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair 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 your hair, taking
one strand at time. By morning
the gray hair disappears, and after
another application or two, it be-
comes beautifully dark and glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire a more youth
full appearance. 1t is not intended
for the cure, mitigation or prevention
of disease.

National Swine
Growers Meeting
] In Chicago Today

The National Swine Growers as
sociation, the body which staged the
highly successful National Swine show
in Omaha, October 2 to 7, last, will
hold its annual meeting in Chicago
today The unanimous sentiment of
the officers and members of the ma
tional ASSOCIATION is for the holding of
the 1917 show in Omaha; in fact,
realizing that the horse and mule
barns on the South Side rank as the
best hog pavilion in the country and
that this city is the logical center of
the greatest porcine stock belt in the
land, the majority favor the Nebraska
metropolis as the permanent show
locale.
E. z. Russell, associate editor of
the Twentieth Century Farmer and
superintendent of exhibits at the 1916
show, probably the busiest man on
the grounds and one who had as
much to do with the success of the
swine classic as any other individual;
Everett Buckingham, chairman of the
executive committee, and w. H. She'll
berg, superintendent of concessions,
are representing Omaha at the an
nual meeting OF the national body.
Swine breeders and local business
men are confident they will be sue
cessful in bringing the 1917 classic
to Omaha.
The financial report covering re-
ceipts and disbursement of funds at
the 1916 show was sent out to the
subscribers to the show last week
The receipts were $l2,85715 and the
disbursements $12,7Sl, leaving bal
ance of $75.4S in the bank.
The members of the executive
committee are: E. Buckingham,
chairman; A. c. Davenport, E P.
Peck, G. J. Ingwersen, A. c. Smith,

0lympics Are to Take Place of
Contests Heretofore Held
at Flag Raising.
PRESIDENT FOR NEW PLAN

The annual class scrap" at Belle
vue college is to be abolished.
For years there has been the class
scrap between the sophomorcs and
freshmen before Thanksgiving. The
Doane game on the Saturday before
Thanksgiving has always ended the
football season at Bellevue. On one
OF the nights i'll the week following,
just before Thanksgiving, was staged
the fight, With the introduction Of
Thanksgiving football games the last
two or three years the battle has been
postponed until after the holiday, but
it has always been held nevertheless.
Bellevue college students have al
ways maintained that their class fight
was the most picturesque Of any in the
state. The custom has been for the
sophomores to put up their flag on a
pole on the campus just after dinner
lin the evening. Just on what evening
they intended to put it up was always
kept secret.
As soon as the freshmen found out
about it they launched a drive against
the sophomores assembled about the
pole. All night long the battle ragged,
or until the one side or the other gave
up. One attack after another was d.
rected against the defenders: rein
forcements were often brought up,
and strategy was employed to sepa-
rate the sophomores from the pole.
The defenders camped about the
pole all night about huge bonhres.
Custom decreed that whichever side
had possession Of the flag the next
morning at sunrise-or at 7 o'clock
was the winner.
Now it is proposed to abolish the
