SHE DOES NOT LIKE
HIGH SCHOOL LOCATION

Editor Reflector Like the loca-
,tion Of the high school? should
say not. 1t would make the high
school look like an oyerstuffed
sandwich; and the two grade build
ings like the waterworks attached
to a factory. Abilene would be the
laughing stock of the state Who
gets the money If we don't have to
buy any land? Would have to build
pretty close to the moon to stick
$4,000 in there if we did our
worst. The taxpayers will circulate
petitions to hold the building until
we get another board of education
II they attempt to do 1t. | offer my
services free to help and | am one
of the best trust busters in town.
The most sensible place for that
high school is on the hill facing
south on East Eighth street. 1t
would command the most beautiful
view OF woods, fields, river, other
IOWuS, elC., anu WOuid pV 80 mp
alton to any student Just to look
out from the campus. Mr. Nlchols
mentioned this site at one time and
somebody Immediately began to say
that he had land up there that he
wanted to sell Now | don't think he
did. but supposing he had any in
terests there he would be gentleman
enough and citizen enough to sell
1t right. / know that ! have no land
nm there-that ! am sure of; but If
/ had building site to select 1t
would be up there.
We lave voted to build schools
enough now and any attempt to stick
the grade children in place out
of the air behind big high school
building will meet with strenuous
opposition from everybody. This
building cannot be located in the
center of town anyway we can Tx
1t. Every year the outdoor life is
talked of more. We want room for
nice drive, nice approach, a
shady pleasant lawn, some seats
around in pleasant places; II we
can't have this why not buy a
brick block down town and be done
with It? l have been on trains and
heard people say when they caught
sight OF the county farm buildings,
"Oh, what pretty place. What
farm is that?" How many people
who go to Kansas City ever notice
the Spaulding business college? Yet
it is a fine building. How many
transients or people not in touch
with labor questions ever notice the
splendid Labor Temple in Kansas
City or know how it looks, or where
it is located? Why? Because they
had to sandwich these large build
ings-we don't.
Now IL this is three blocks east
Of Buckeye what of it? And If that
does not suit the majority, what is
the matter with our late city pur
chase, the city park? Seems to ms
it ought to do the taxpayers sons
good. 1t has not yet. Put it GU
there. Fix that artificial lake. Wei
all help build it. Let's see a proper
bit OF civic spunk and pride abou
this thing and do it right. The wo
men got the credit Of putting thi
through. stay with it, ladies, big
little and middle sized. These mel
need help and ought to have it, Let
get the worth OF our money, Nov
don't all say. no at once. $50, ~,

SAGE TEA TURNS
CRAY HAIRDARK
rs Grandmothers Recipe to Bring
Back Color and Lustre to
Hair.

That beautiful even shade of dark,
glossy hair can only be had by brew
ing d mixture Of Sage Tea and Sui
phur. Your hair is your charm. It
makes or mars the face. When it
fades, turns gray, streaked and looks
dry, wispy and scraggy just an appli-
cation or two of Sage and Sulphur en-
hances its appearance a hundredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the tonic;
you can get from any drug store a 80.
cent bottle Of Weith's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" ready to use. This
can always be depended upon to bring
back the natural color thickness and
lustre of your hair and remove dan
druff, stop scalp itching and falling
hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage and
Sulphur because It darkens so natural
ly and evenly that nobody can tell 1t
has been applied You simply dampen
sponge or soft brush with It and
draw this through the hair, taking one
small strand at a time; by morning
the gray hair has disappeared. and af.
ter another application 1t becomes
beautifully dark and appears glossy,
ustrous and abundant.
