Dupes Of Organized Business.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Nov. 16.-Brand-
ling farmers and factory workers OF
America "dupes of organized business
President A. C. Townley, of the Farm
ers Non-Partisan league called on or
ganized labor here today to join with
the farmers to help win the war and
a rairer share In what they produce.
! 1--WE farmers produce ,twenty-nine
billion dollars worth of farm products

600 ooO, 900 for it or about s31S.22 net
! for each farmers family.
"Who gets the other s20,000O0O, 900?
Labor doesn't get it and We don't get
lit. Labor says we get it. The same
! token of business tells the farmer that
! he gets all the difference between the
cost. of shoes, clothing and machinery
! and the exorbitant price the farmers
and other consumers of this country
| have to pay for them.
We get eight to ten cents a pound
for pork. You pay 35 to 40 cents. The
! packers say labor absorbs the differ
ence.
Turning to Gompers Townley said:
Il want to know. Mr. President, if
Won fellows have got that money!"

The same is true of wheat. The mil

| When we ask business why we have
| to pay so much for machinery they

get it.
| when we complain of high and
even higher freight rates, business

| have expensive wives and need the
money.
1.-THE time has come for US to under
stand each other. We are at war and
the governments interests, as well as
our own, demand that we wipe out
this nefarious profiteering system
which starves amid plenty and retards
progress and delays the success of the
war"

FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies are Using
Recipe of Sage Tea and
CuIphur

Hair that loses its color and lustre,
or hen it fades, burns gray, dull and
lifeless, is caused by lack Of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made
up a MIXTURE of Sage Tea and Sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beautiful,
and thousands of women and men who
value that even color, that beautiful
dark shade of hair which is attractive,
use only this oid-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition of other
ingredients by asking at any drug
store for a 50-cent bottle of "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" which
darkens the hair so naturally, so even.
~, that nobody can possibly tell it has
been applied. You just dampen a
sponge Or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time. BY morning
the gay hair disappears; but what
delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and SULPHUR Compound, is that, be-
sides beautifully darKening the hair
after few applications, it also brings
back the gloss and lustre and gives it
an appearance of abundance.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
to impart color and youthful appear,
ance to the hair. It is not intended
for the cure, mitigation or prevention
of disease.-Adv.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. lam
swering the assertions made by Claus
Spreckels before the senate commit
tee which is investigating the sugar
shortage that discrimination was
shown by the food administration and
otherwise attacking the food admins
tration. its policies and methods. Her
bert c. Hoover yesterday gave the fol-
lowing statement TO the press:
Anything which l have to say TO
Mr. Spreckels statement will be said
in due time 10 the senate committee.
"SpreckeIs Is sore"
To-day IL requires no proof from me
to establish the fact that Claus Spreck-
els, a leading sugar refiner, is sore at
the food administration and the sugar
commissions and would like to see it
and them destroyed.
Il realize that Mr.. Spreckels' bal
ance sheet will not look so good TO him
as it did last year, for the refiners'
prices for sugar have been regulated
and furthermore his balance sheet
would have looked much better to
him this year if the price OF last Au-
gust had not been reduced and held
fast in the face Of partial shortage
that promised a fair opportunity for
80 cents a pound sugar and much in
creased profit to the refiner. Mr..
Sprecksls therefore has reason to feel
badly.
Finds Sincere Patriots
There are other citizens some Of
vIOyo Dou fool opd othorS IF whom
will feel the same way and can, no
doubt, entertain the public by direct,
ing assaults against the food admins
tration as Mr.. Spreckels has done.
While many feel badly and more will
feel badly, still the great majority of
the men and women of our business
community and of our farmers are sac.
rificing individual and personal pro-
fits daily to the necessities of the ma.
ton without complaining. Many are
sacrificing more than their money,
they are offering to the sacrifice their
sons.
Shortage Three Months
I'VE have had two months Of par
tial sugar shortage, October and No.
vember, and we shall also have De.
cember before relief from the new
crop arrives.
THE American people have had five
hundred thousand tons of sugar in
those two months, and that is 70 per
cent Of the normal supply in each
month, October and November. and,
If cars are obtainable, they will have
20 per cent of the normal supplies in

WALL & DOUGHERTY TAKES
ON HOLIDAY APPEARANCE

Wall & Dougherty's jewelry store,
in the Young building, this morning
blossomed forth in splendid holiday
style. Beautiful large poinsettia plants
decorate the store, and from their set
ting behind miniature trellis-work, add
their Christmas cheer to the beauti-
full displays throughout the store.
Hawaii, being a land of sunshine the
whole year, does not furnish as much
Christmas atmosphere as some of the
mainland states, yet poinsettias are
abundant here and make excellent dec
orations as a visit to Wall & Dough
erty's will show.

From the People

Augusta Ark, May 4, 1917.
 We, the boys of Augusta do hereby wish to express to J. Ross Chambers, the editor of the Free Press of Augusta. our apprecia- tion CD for the patriotic feeling he has shown his friends and subscribers by discharging MT. Cox, his assistant, for doing that which every patriotic American boy has done or sEould do.
 When our country called for volunteers to defend the stars and stripes MT. Cox signed up just as 60 or 70 other boys did here. MT. Chambers was out of town when the petition was cir culated, and when he returned and MT. Cox told him of his hav- ing enlisted, but that he would be here for about two months probably before it would be nee essary for him to leave and that he would like to continue with his job, and that he would work at least another week so that an- other man could be seucured in stead. MT. Chambers inform. ed him that another man had better be secured while the getting was good, and he employed another for the place.
 Again thanking @ the Free Press editor for his interest in Company A, Sd Arkansas Regi- ment, etc.
 Respectfully,
 A Recruit.
