NEW LIQUOR BILLS
TO COME UP FRIDAY

Jackson, MSS, Feb. Pit is prob
able that on Friday an effort will be
made to have the liquor bills introduc-
ed in the house made the special or.

In as much as the newspapers have
been granted permission to have a
representative appear before the Ii
quor traffic committee of the house
Thursday evening at 1880 O'Clock, to
speak in reference to the bill prohibit
ing the publication of liquor advertise

that the liquor bills will come up unit

of the champions of the bills to have
them be considered together.

Try Grandnother's Old Favorite
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and sulphur, properly COM
pounded, brings back the natural color
and luster to the hair when faded
streaked or gray. Years ago the only
way to get this mixture was to make it
at home, which is mussy and trouble
some. Nowadays, by asking at any
drug store for "Wyeths Sage and Sui

bottle of this famous old recipe, inn
proved by the addition of other in

Don't stay gray! Try it, No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
Your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two your hair becomes
beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.

The Change of Flags
Some fifty-odd former sons of Aus
tria, Hungary, Greece and most of the
other countries of Europe foreswore
allegiance to king and emperor to-day
ard legally took shelter for all time
under the eagles wings. Half a dozen
or more applications were rejected be-
cause the court was not satisfied en-
trely as to the length of time the
applicants had been residents here.
Oddly enough, most of the would-be
new citizens of the United States were
AustrianS; one was Greek, one was a
Canadian-but there was not a single
German in all that big crowd. One

The Argument Session
Prior TO the opening of naturaliza-
ton court Federal Judge c. B. Wilmer
heard argument on the petition to
quash the action in trespass brought
by Attorney Earl T.. Rem for William
r. Watson against the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company. Watson, who was
hurt at the Lucknow shops, has sued
for 100000 damages and the action
was brought in the Federal court be-
cause of the interstate commerce con-
neCtions of the railroad company. The
company, represented by c. II. Berg
ner, wanted the summons dismissed
because service on the defendant had
been made after the return day, the
day set apart for the sheriff to report
OF having made service of the sum
mons, had passed. Mr.. Rem con-
tended that the defendants endorse
ment on receipt of the summons was
sufficient under the 1915 practices act
to warrant the court in dismissing the
plaintiffs rule and to permit the case
TO go on the list.

Mrs. Elizabeth Derby, representing
some religious and charitable organ

few women to appear before the State
Board of Pardons, to-day won a rec
ommendation for pardon for Charles
Miller, Chester county, convicted of
forgery. Miller was twice refused par
don. but Mrs. Derby secured q rehear-

plea for pardon. She contended that
there had been a mistake in identi-
fcation and after considerable discus
sion was Informed by Lieutenant
Governor McClain that she could in
form Miller that the board would rec
ommend n pardon.
Mr.. McClain said that her case had
the merit of persistence as well as
some other points. and that while he
did not let his heart sway him in par
don cases. he felt the action war
ranted.
The board heard two applications
for communication of death sentences

Poems Need Relief
Supplementing reports that the po-
litical situation in Mexico was of more
importance in comparison with the
economic conditions and the ravages
of the typhus epidemic which has been
sweeping through the central states,
an American mining official received
messages to-day that relief was ur-
gently needed if thousands of the
poems in Durango, Coahuila, Aguas-
calientes, San Luis Pntosi and Zacate-
cas- were not to perish
These messages stated that there
were between 1000 and 5000 cases
of typhus in the city of Aguascalientes
and a similar proportion in almost
every city of Importance in Central
Mefflico. including Queretaro. The man
who received these messages is the
head of a concern with very large in
terests in Mexico and which in normal
times employs several thousand Mex
lean workmen. He said that as far az
the lack of food was concerned, he had
tried to do something toward relieving
the distress of his former employees
by sending corn and beans to points
where the destitution was worse.
81 found" he said, that my efforts
were more provocative of i'll than
good If ! sent carload of corn to
help out a hundred of my former en-
ployes, ii would be besieged by mob
of thousands and would prove merely
the cause of a riot in which nobody
would get much of anything"
The Carranza officials are making
strenuous efforts TO send food into the
stricken districts and to check the
ravages of typhus. but the disturbed
conditions in the country are proving
a serious handicap.

Colonel Asserts Wilson
Is Sinking in Laying
Crisis Before Congress

Oyster Bay N. Y, April 19.-Colo-
mel Roosevelt believes that President
Wilson is failing to perform his duties
of leadership in calling joint session
of Congress to lay before them the is
sues of the submarine controversy with
Germany. He feels that the President
is shirking his responsibilities and
that, Furthermore, he has only himself
to blame for the position in which the
nation now finds itself.
Word reached Sycamore Hill of
President Wilson's action in this new
est phase of the submarine issue last
evening. Colonel Roosevelt was great
ly interested in it, and. while he re-
fused to make any comment for pub
lication, his opinion can be definitely
set forth.
1t is known that Roosevelt blames
the present troubles of the United
States, as we'll as all of those of an
International nature which have come
TO pass since 1912, on President Will
sons foreign policy. A strong foreign
policy would have prevented the sink
ing of the Lusitania, believes Colonel
Roosevelt; it would have prevented
other incidents humiliating and disas-
trous to this country and which oc
Cured before the Lusitania tragedy,
and it would have made impossible
similar succeeding tragedies that have
followed the Lusitania disaster.
Colonel Roosevelt condemns Mr..
Wilson's action in now summoning
joint session of Congress to put the
U-boat issues to them, for one reason,
because he believes it is the duty of n
leader to lead. and for another because
you cannot conduct the affairs of a ma
ton by town meeting. Further than
that, the colonels opinion was that
Congress cannot wisely determine the
issues wholly created by the authori-
tative arm of the government.
1t is the eX-President's belief that
under the constitution the President is
directed to conduct negotiations with
foreign powers, and by that token he
is the one who should assume the
leadership of the United States in all
problems affecting so Vitally the honor
and dignity of the nation.
The colonel has indicated before
that a weak foreign policy causes more
wars than it prevents. and the word
cowardice has appeared in more than
one of RooseVelt's recent statements
dealing with President Wilson's hand
ling of Mexican and European affairs.
The colonel views Mr.. Wilson's ac-
ton in keeping with the Wilsonian
fiorid style, whether written spoken,
or acted, as it has been manifested
during the past year or more, and he
feels that Mr.. Wilson's policy has been
one of the diluted milk and mush, and
his failure to put the country in
State of preparedness at such a criti-
cal period in it's history has been one
of the evil byproducts of this policy.

CORN TESTS IN KANSAS.
Varieties Best Suited to individua
Sections Of tho State.


Sections Of tho State.
Tests conducted by the agronomy
department of the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college which cover period
Of five years will prove valuable to
Kansas farmers in determining the
varieties Of corn best suited to indi-
vidual sections Of the state.
"No other crop is Influenced as much
by soil and climatic conditions as
corn" says B. s. Wilson, assistant In
cooperative experiments. Because of
the radical variation in soil and eli
mate In Kansas the results obtained at
the agricultural college or the various
substations may not apply to condi-
tions in other parts Of the state. Ex-
periments show that the variety most
commonly grown in a section is not al,
ways the best one, nor is the variety
that does well In eastern Kansas al.
ways the one to grow in central Kan
sas. Varieties known to limited sec
tions of the state have been tested and
found to be adapted to much larger
area and to outyield many Of the
standard varieties.
"1n northeastern Kansas the Boone
County White. Reid's Yellow Dent and
Hiawatha Yellow Dent did well The
Shawnee White gave promise of being
superior variety for growing In that
part Of the state. In southeastern Kan
sas the commercial white made the
best average yield for the more fertile
types Of soil, while the Pride of Saline
proved to be best adapted for the up
lands. Freed's White Dent made
good comparative showing on very thin
soil types in that part of the state. In
central Kansas Pride Of Saline, Iowa
Silvermine and Kansas Sunfiower
made the usual comparatively high
average yields, although because Of ex-
ceptionally favorable conditions larger
growing varieties outyielded them in
some of the tests"
For western Kansas Freed's White
Dent. Colby corn and the Sherrods
White Dent proved to be superior va
rieties The latter varieties are best
adapted to the western one-fifth of the
state, while the Freed's is one of the
best varieties for growing In westcen-
trail Kansas. 1t is an exceptionally
good yielding early variety for growing
in any part Of central or eastern Kan,
sas
In order to obtain Information re-
garding the varieties Of corn best
adapted to the various sections of the
state and the different soil types there
in, the agronomy department is coop.
