the battle Of Aboukir bay he was made

the Same time granted him a pension

Such pensions and rewards sound
enormous compared to those of this

which Britons put upon valor and their
belief in the old saying that to the

STATEMENT OF CLERK CARLIN
SHOWS INCREASE OF $22, 1896.

City Clerk T. H. Carlin at the reg
ular session of the city council Mon
day evening, presented a statement
of the Indebtedness of the city of
Oskaloosa for the fiscal year from
March 81, 1916 to April 1. 1917.
The statement shows an increase
of the net Indebtedness of $22, 1886.
This increase represents the cost
of the sewer extension and sewage
plant northeast of town;
purchase of hospital ambulance and
police patrol, and claims paid for
damages and purchase of land.
Without the expense of the above
items the city would have
had substantial decrease in the to-
tai debt for the year.
The statement in detail, compared
with that of 1915, is here given:

EASY TO DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
You Can Bring Back Color and Lus-
tire With Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can
tell, because it's done so naturally,
so evenly. Preparing this mixture,
though, at home is mussy and trou-
blesome. For Sc cents you can buy
at any dry store the ready-to-use
preparation, improved by the addi-
ton of other ingredients, called "Wy-
eth's Sage and Sulphur Compound"
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 all gray hair
disappears, and, after another appli-
cation or two, your hair becomes beau
tifully darkened, glossy and luxuri-
ant.
Gray, faded hair, though no dis
grace, is a sign of old age, and as we
all desire a youthful and attractive
appearance, get busy at once with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
and look years younger. This ready
to-use preparation is a delightful toi-
let requisite and not a medicine. It
is not intended for the cure, mitiga-
tion or prevention of disease. 72

WANTED-LOT BUYERS
WITH MONEY TO BUILD

Calipatria is the one place in I'm
perial Valley where real estate ac-
tivity is active-and active along le-
gitimate lines. Since the first of the
year, J. A. JOHNSON, sales agent
for Calipatria Town and Farms, has
sold Al lots, all of which were pur-
chased with the object of improve
ment, either with business blocks or
residences. Not one lot was bought,
SO far as the purpose of the buyer was
disclosed, with the thought Of specu-
lation uppermost in the mind of the
purchaser. In every instance the
tuyer was influenced to purchase
either for personal use or in order
that he might build for rental pur-
poses.
From applications for business
houses and residences now on file in
the office of T. A. JOHNSON, it can
be stated as fact that if building
were upon each of the lots sold since
the first of the year, everyone would
be occupied and the demand not sat
isfied.
Those not personally acquainted
with conditions in Calipatria and the
North End generally are, of course,
unable to realize the progress going
on in this section Of the Valley. This
summer and fall, with the products
CT 10000 acres of matchless soil your
ing into Calipatria, the business of
this city will more than quadruple,
and the demand for business houses
and residences will more than double
the price of every piece of improved
property here.
If you are prepared to buy lot
and improve it with a business house
or residence, we want you in Cali
patria.
For further information call on or

Several Of these posts are ready to
be set in place. Without the heavy
foundation, the posts weigh 1900
pounds, and the foundation pillars
add $50 pounds each to the total.
Fourteen feet high and two feet
in diameter at the paneled base, the
posts taper gracefully to the top. Each
post has four sides, paneled, and the
base contains panels for the street
names.
Various methods of finishing the
surface were tried by Manager Carl
Arfwedson of the concrete company,
hut the plain stone effect was finally
chosen by the authorities.
When these posts are in place and
the globes in service Brawley will be
cne of the best lighted cities in the

Twentyeight of these ornamental
posts will be required for the paved

Farewell Lecture of Revival.

Mr.. Brown has made many friends

already. The pastor, Rev. w. G. Con-
