FROM ONE POTATO.

MT. Fred Caring, supervisor of Co., conino county, has shown himself to be some potato raiser this season. One of the specialists of the Agricul- tural Extension service of the Uni versity visited Peter Rencher, the well-known potato grower of Apache county, and was given a single po- tato of the White Victor variety which Mir. Rencher had grown and improved by his careful methods. Not wishing to waste the fine speci- men, the potato was carried in suit case to Flagstaff and turned over to MT. Caring, who planted it on dune 13. It was cut into single eyes, mak- ing several hills. No irrigation was given and the ground in which it was planted had been given no special preparation. On October 13, the crop from the one potato was dug, yielding 40 pounds of potatoes, 35 pounds of which were of marketable size. Truly these are days of potato conservation when one potato given the right care, returns forty fold.

HOPI INDIANS LOYALTY.

Leo Crane, superintendent for the Hopi Indians at Keams Canyon, was in Gallup last week and reported that the Hopis bought $2700 worth of Lib erty Bonds, mostly of the $50 denomi- nation; some of the bonds were for s2O0. One old Indian by the name of Wapa bought bond and to make the first payment took the coin buttons off his coat. This old man is quite poor, but he was anxious to do some thing for the government. When a boy he was captured by the Mexicans and taken into Sonora, Mexico, where he was held as a peon a number of years. He enjoyed the liberty under this government and to express his

The bill will come up automatically without reintroduction, at the next session, and the agricultural interests of the country are hoping that it will re- ceive the approval of Congress.

T0POCK BRIDE GUARD
 HAS BEEN REMOVED

The guards who have been stationed at the Topock bridge since May 1 of this year were removed yesterday at the oredr of the Mohave County Board of Supervisors.
 This action was taken after delib- eration by members of the board, who came to the conclusion that the San Bernardino Supervisors have not kept faith in the matter of bearing half of the expense of keeping the guards at their stations.
 The guards were placed at the bridge in May at the joint request of the Defense Committees of both Cal ifornia and Arizona, the understand ing being that each state was to bear half the expense.
 Since the guard was established Mohave County has been paying the salaries of the men. Acquisition on the San Bernardino Board for their half of the salary money has been ig- nored, and at the meeting of the Mo have Board the first of the month the action to remove the men from the bridge station was taken.
 There has been misgivings regard ing the feasibility of removing the guard from the bridge, as it was known that very little "booze" was brought into the state through this gateway while the guard was station ed there.

SAGE TEA DARKENS !
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't stay Gray! Here's an
Old-time Recipe that Any
body can Apply.

The use OF Sage Rnd Sulphur for re-
storing faded. gray hair to its natural
color dates back TO grandmother's
time. She used 1t to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and attrac-
tive. 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 a SO cent bottle Of
-Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com,
pound" you will get this famous old
preparation, improved by the addi-
ton of other ingredients. which can
be depended upon to restore natural
color and beauty to the hair
A well-known downtown druggist
says II darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell Il
has been applied. You simply dampen
a sponge or soft brush with II and
draw this through your hair. taking
one strand at a time. By morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two. It becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
is a delightful toilet requisite for
those who desire a more youthful ap-
pearance. 1t is not intended for the
cure, mitigation or prevention OF dis
ease-Advt.

VIRGINIA CAPTAINS :
FATE Is UNKNOWN
No Trace Found of Master of
Torpedoed City Of
Memphis.
BY JUDsON C. wELLIvER.

LONDON, March 20.-Nothing. has
been heard from any source regSrd-
ing the fate of Captain Borum, of New
York, and four Americans and four
other sailors of the City of Memphis.
A British patrol boat picked up the
captain'S boat, which showed signs
of having been hastily abandoned.
The occupants had left their over
coats in the boat. Fifteen men OF the
Vigilancia, including several Ameri-
cans were drowned.
1t is hoped Captain Borum is now
on some friendly craft wirhout wire
less, but it y possible he has been
captured by German submarine.
British officials are unable to explain
why the captain and nen should have
abandoned the ships papers, which
were found in an empty biscuit tin.
Submarine commanders, anxious to
get all information possible regarding
American vessels now in the Atlantic,
might hold Captain Borum aboard the
submarine and pump him and then
put him in with some other crew.
A dispatch from Plymouth says
fifteen members of the crew of the
Vigilancia lost their lives when the
steamer was torpedoed by a German
submarine. The survivors were in
lifeboats from Friday morning until
Sunday ternoon. -

Among those drowned were several

with the weather clear, when the
ship was struck by a torpedo on the
starboard side near the No. 3 hatch.
Two torpedoes were fired at the
steamer, but the first passed harm
Iessly astern. Between seven and ten
minutes after the steamer was struck
she foundered.
Two lifeboats were lowered from
three men got into them. Owing to
the swell of the ocean, however, TWEEN
'ty-fiye men were thrown into the wa
ter. The boats of the captain and the
mates picked up ten of the men, but
the other fifteen were drowned.
Followed by Submarine.
Captain Middleton says he saw no
submarine during the attacks, but
that one of the engineers thinks he
saw a periscope. The captain saw
two oily streaks on the water about
thousand yards from the. steamer,
which he took to be the tracks OF tor
pedoes. The Vigilancia was flying
the American flag and had her name
and a nag painted on each side.
Speaking of his experience in the
boat, Captain Middleton said:
after rescuing as many of the
crew as possible in the boats We had
biscuits and water. At night 1 fired
distress signals. Several times by the
glare of the lights 1 saw a sub
