How THE FARM BUREAU HELPS

The Farm Bureau of Maricopa coun-
ty is maintained for the benfit of the
farmers of the county. The intent is to
serve as a bureau of information for
those who for one reason or another
desire information on subjects pertain
ing to agriculture or livestock
The bureau does not pose as teach
er, and in no wise proposes to usurp in
any manner the functions of the Col
lege of Agriculture, the extension de-
partment or the experiment station
The bureau proposes to serve as me-
dunn of exchange between those farm
ers who have made a success of their
business along the various lines of
agriculture, and who have, in achieving
their success, acquired experience, and
those who need help which can be rem
dered by those who have It. The farm
bureau is simply the medium of eX

A considerable number of bulletins
and pamphlets relating to agriculture,

There is a possibility that Phoenix

letters from Raymond and Whitcomb
of New York city, stating that Mr.. and
Mrs. c. B. Sayre, were due to arrive in
Phoenix on the twenty fourth of this
month, and that everything possible to
make their stay pleasant, should be
done. The letter states that a trip to
Roosevelt dam will be in order, short
~ after they arrive.
There is a possibility that names
have been mixed, and that Mr.. and
Mrs Francis B. Sayre, may be con-

property was injured by the flood
waters caused by the dumpage of garb-

the damage and that the dumpage had
no effect. The Jury disagreed

GRANDMA USED SAGE
TEA TO DARKEN HAIR
She made up a mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur to bring back color
gloss, thickness


Common garden sage ibrewed into
heavy tea with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and lu xuri
ant, remove every bit of dandruff, stop
scalp itching ana falling hair Just a
few applications will prove a revelation
If your hair is fading, gray or dry,
scraggly and thin. Mixing the Sage
Tea and Sulphur recipe at home,
though, is troublesome. An easier way
is to get the ready-to-use tonic, costing
about so cents a large bottle at drug
stores, known as 'Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" thus avoiding a
lot of muss.
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, no one can
tell, because it does it so naturally, so
evenly. You just dampen a sponge OF
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning all gray
hairs have disappeared. and. after an
other application or two. your hair
becomes beautifully dark. glossy, soft
and luxuriant.

Falls, Mont. The following month he
read IN the papers that farmer riding
along the banks of Milk river had
found the body of johnson.
AT once the fear of arrest began to
weigh upon him. He had assumed the
name of William Mckay and had en-
countered none who knew him as
Poplinski. But he felt that he was too
near the scene of the killing and that
ultimately he would be discovered and
taken back to stand trial for the muir
der of his neighbor.
Drifts to the West
from Great Falls he went to North
Dakota, where he remained two or
three years and then he drifted west
In August of last year he reached
Flagstaff and there he secured employ
ment with the Flagstaff Lumber com
pany. He went into the woods as a
lumberjack. One week ago last Friday
he came to Phoenix and secured a
room at the Arizona Lodging House
He was without employment and he
feared to seek work, fearing he would
be recognized. And yesterday morn
ing, after many nights of worrying.
he decided to give himself up and let
tile law take ITS course.
Early yesterday morning he called
at the police station and asked for the
chlef. Twice he returned and each
time said he wanted to see the chief
personally. At nine O'Clock he stepped
into the station for the third time and
that time found the head of the de-
partment in his office. With tears
rolling down his cheeks and in a voice
Oh
he poured his tale into the ears of
Brisbois. And then he declared he felt
a load had been lifted and that he
didn't care what became of him. Chief
Brisbois assured him that if he had
told the truth. and he believed he had
no jury would find him guilty of
murder and that he had done the best
thing possible under the circum-
stances.
Poplnski was born in Minnesota in
| 1883, of Polish parents. His mother
died before he went to Nashua, and at
the time he killed Johnson, his father
was living in Minnesota, as were also
three brothers and four sisters Since
1913 no word has come to him from
any OF his relatives and he does not
know whether his father is still alive
| or whether death has taken any of his
brothers and sisters
