T0DARKEN HAIR
APPLY SAGE TEA
Look Young! Bring Back

and Attractiveness.

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea with sulphur added, will
turn gray, streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just
a few applications will prove reve-
lation II your hair IL fading. streaked
or gray. Mixing the Sake Tea and
Sulphur recipe at home, though. Is
troublesome. An easier way is to get
a 50-cent bottle Of Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound at any drug store
all ready for use.' This is the old
time recipe improved by the addition
Of other ingredients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful. we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness BY darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound.

en- q sponge or soft brush with 1t and
draw this through your hair taking
one small strand at a time; by morn

and, after another application or two,
your hair becomes beautifully dark,
glossy, soft and luxuriant.

THE FARMERS ARE THINKING.

There is evidence all over the state
that the farmers are doing some
thinking for themselves, and that they
are thinking to some purpose. That
is all that is necessary to the proper
determination Of some of the import
ant questions now before them. Tho
managers Of the Nonpartisan league
reached their recent stage Of influ-
ence in the affairs OF the state
through the too ready acceptance by
many Of the farmers Of statements
made to them, the assumption. with
out independent investigation. that
the statements were true and that the
men who made them were honest and
reputable mon.
There is . marked change in the
situation. Townleyism 10 not having
everything it's own way. The people
are displaying interest. They want to
know. They are asking inconvenient
questions, and they are not satisfied
with either evasion or abuse. They
want answers, and tho answers are
not forthcoming.
So long as the league bosses were
opposed in public only by those who
were known from the beginning to
have been distrnstful of them, the
work was all uphill. Statements Of
fact made by such men were dismiss
cd on the ground that they were
prompted by hostility. and. in a good
many cases. that settled it. But that
situation is changing. 1t has already
changed. League members them
selves are asking questions and de-
manding answers. Local men in ev-
cry community, some Of them league
members and some Of them not, but
men who are known and respected by
all Of their neighbors, are participat-
ing in meetings and setting forth in
a very pointed manner what they
know about the infamous methods
which have been adopted to hood
wink the farmers, to exploit them. in
order that a handful Of professional
agitators may live on the fat Of the
land.
1t is one thing for Towniey or Bow
On to tell the people at a meeting that
soma man in a distant part Of the
state who opposed boss methods is a
crook and q CRATER and the hired SER
want Of "big business" It is an en-
tirely different matter to make state
ments Of the same sort against the
local man. the neighbor Of every
member Of the audience, the man
who. whether as merchant, farmer or
otherwise. has been known to every
one in the community as a straight
forward, honorable man. And the
agitators are confronted by the neces-
sity Of condemning men Of this class
before their own neighbore, or Of
keeping STILL And in either case
their course is fatal
The farmers are taking interest.
They are displaying disposition to
Investigate. And II they will Just
keep that up there need be no fear as
to the result

REGISTRATION OF VOTERS.

Tuesday OF next week Will be the
last day on which voters may register
for tho city election. The law of
North Dakota differs from. the laws of
any other states in that it is not nee
essary for the voter to appear at the
voting place in order to register. Most
Of the registration work consists in
the copying Of names from the old
! books into the new. This Is done by
the members Of the registration
boards, and In most cases 1t is done
without any act whatever on the part
Of the voter, and very often without
his knowledge. There are hundreds
of voters in Grand Forks who have
never been near the registration
place. and yet who find their names.
/, they do not know quite how, safely
and properly on the list when they
come to vote.
The process is very simple. The
last voters list Is taken as the basis.
Many Of the persons whose names ap-
pear on that list are known to all the
members of the board. Many others
are known to one or more members.
The name Of every person who is
known to the board to be = legal voter
and to be residing still in the precinct.
is copied from the old list into the new
one. The names Of those about whom
no one present has information are
omitted. Thus, when a man has lived
many years in the same place, his
name appears automatically on each
list, and he does not concern himself
in the matter at all.
The voter who is not registered may
still vote, but he must Swear his vote
in" That 10 always to be avoided
II possible. first because it consumed
time on q very busy day. and second,
because II IL now always possible to
obtain the necessary witnesses just
when they arc wanted. One recent
case of this kind is recalled. Within
q few minutes Of closing time man
presented himself at ono Of the poll
ing places to vote. It was found that
he was not registered. He was not
personally known to anyone in the
room. and. while every person pres
ent was convinced that he was legal
voter. mono Of them could swear to IT,
Had there been more time witnesses
could have been secured. but there
: was no time for this before closing
time. The man lost his vote.
;. Persons who have lived long in one
n1aca and have vofsd ra~,,la r1v mn =,
be practically certain that they are
registered. Newcomers, and those who
have moved from one precinct to an
other since they last voted should
make it a point to see that they are
properly registered.
{. The voter must be a citizen of the
United States. and must have lived in
the state one year. In the county six
months. and In the precinct 80 days.

THE BOARD OF REGENTS,

If the obviously proper course with
reference to the state board of re-
gents had been followed the educa-
tional institutions Of the state would
have been saved weeks of confusion.
1t Is a perfectly understood fact that
the objections which have been raised
against the manner in which the
members Of the present board were
appointed are purely technical The
legislature of two years ago intended
to provide for the creation Of board
Of regents. The governor intended
to appoint the members Of the So
called old board. And the senate IN
tended to confirm those appointments.
All Of this was intended, and it was
supposed that 1t had all been done
in a perfectly legal and regular man
ner. II is claimed that there was a
technical trregularity in the manner In
which the appointments were made,
and that the appointments were
therefore void.
In view Of the facts the effort to
oust tho members because Of the tech
nicality looks like pretty small busI-
ness. But political exigencies existed
and these had to be met. It was de-
terminsd. therefore. to get rid Of the
old board and appoint a new one.
Granting this action to be proper,

THEY SANG THE MARsEnLA1s

SANS VI rNAk6SElLLAlS.
The dispatches tell us Of the singing
of the Marseillais by the French in
habitants Of the villages Just aban-
doned by the Germans in their retreat
when fellow countrymen and their
British allies followed to occupy the
territory from which the enemy had
fled. One can we'll imagine 1t. With
out actual experience of similar char
acter we can appreciate but di1nly the
real spirit which animated the inhabi-
tants of that war-stricken strip of
earth, but we can understand that
the, arrival of their friends, and the
sight Of their own flag floating once
more over them must have been an
occasion of profound emotion, and
one can imagine that the people
would enter into the singing Of that
stirring hymn with their whole souls.
The inhabitants of that territory
have been under the domination of
foreign and hostile power for 81
months. The Germans made quick
work Of their advance on Paris-not
as quick as they had hoped and not
quite quick enough. but they moved
rapidly, nevertheless. The stubborn
Belgians shocked and amazed the
Germans by resisting the invasion of
their country. Their little armies
were overpowered, and their fortifica-
tions were pounded into dust. But
their resistance caused delay. That
delay was sufficient to permit Exit
chener's contemplate army Of some
10000 men to arrive on the scene.
That force scarcely made a good
mouthful for the advancing giant,
nevertheless it took little time to
masticate it. and this caused further
delay. In the meantime the French
had organized their defense, and on
the banks of the Marne they turned
the enemy back.
The positions to which the Germans
fell back have been held without very
great change until now. Lines have
been Strengthened out here and there,
and OF late the Germans have been
yielding ground quite steadily. But
the allied advance at any point has
not been great. But the work that
has been done during the past year
IL bearing fruit. and the retirement
Of the Germans shows that the point
has been reached where they must
choose between the breaking Of their
lines and their withdrawal.
The result sis that many SQUARE
miles of territory and scores Of vii.
lagos have been abandoned by the
invaders. and the French viii feel.
without question, that svsn though
the price paid for this victory hss
been a tremendous one, what has
been gained is wet1 worth all that Il
has cost. The fruits of this succesu
are not to be measured merely in
terms Of square, miles, but must be
constdsred IN relation to the strength
|sning Of the ,pational spirit Of the
|yictors. IN the confidence that win
