Doubtful About Il.

Nath Taylor could neither read nor
write, but he put one over ON the city
preacher that he engaged to marry
him. Nath had for . long time con-
templated marrying. but never had
the nerve to inquire into the neces.
sary legal formalities. A preacher
from the city happened to be visiting
on the farm where Nath was en-
ployed. When Nath learned of the
presence Of the preacher In the house
he decided. to go up and inquire just
what had to be done. When Nath
reached the front steps his courage
left him, and there Mr.. Smith, his em.
ployer, found him. Nath explained his
mission and the preacher was called
to enlighten him.
And SO you wish to get married.

A Fair Opponent

The News has maintained throughout
the county division struggle that it is a
question for the people Of the proposed
new county to decide. If the people
who own property there and who will
have to pay the taxes desire to shoulder
the burden of county they should be
permitted to do so, and this part Of the
county should have no voice in the mat
ter. But We have heard SO many d.
vergent opinions on the subject from
the people of that section that we are
still in doubt as to the real sentiment
of the majority. For the present it is
dead issue. If it is to be revived two
years hence, let the people of that dis
trict prepare themselves by taking a
bona fide vote of the property owners
PRESIDENT and nonresident alike, for it
is question of taxes) to ascertain the
will of the majority. If a majority are
found to favor it, then Weld county
should withdraw its opposition and per-
nit the people to govern themselves. =
Weld County News.
The above is just as fair and square
as we could ask. The doubt expressed
about the sentiment of the people of
this section, is the only excuse for con-
tention, and that is not material now.
If our friends in Greeley will all come
to the same fair proposal, we believe
the most rabid county divisionists will
say, 80 be it,.

HIGHSCHOOLP DELIGHTS AUDIENCE
Pupils Reflect the Results Of Good Training BY Devoted Teach
es and incidentally Secure a Good Boost
for the High School Treasury
Play Followed by Box Social Which Helped 10 Swell Receipts

OF course all Raymer knew more or
less about the high school play, "Her
Gloves, and the majority.of the popu-
lation were out to see the production.
OF course all expected that the exhibi-
tion would be well worth the money,
but few were prepared for the excellent
way in which the play was rendered.
Proceeding the play the high school
orchestra favored the audience with
: some music by introducing the public
to this new musical attraction which
the school has acquired during the past
few months. Here was surprise, in
deed, to find that under the skillful in
struction of Mrs. Hewitt, the young
people had developed in such short
time SO as to be able to give such har-
monious and well rendered music.
The play itself was Of the humorous
style, full of laughable circumstances,
and was well memorized, skillfully
played and each player sustained his or
her part clear to the end with splendid
effect.
For pupils that have done so little of
this sort of thing in the past, we feel
that we have all reason to be proud of
the young people and that their teach
ers must have done great deal of hard
work to bring about such happy results.
The town orchestra furnished music
of high class between the acts, max
ing the usually tedious interval Of such
preparation, seem short by reason Of
their efforts.
The bo4 sociable following resulted
in a considerable addition to the funds
which will be used as needed for the
benefit Of the different school activities.

brought into court the plaintiff admit
ted that 35 cents had been paid, and
later admitted that 13 cents of the
amount claimed was not due because

could be rendered is q cents. Justice
Sides awarded the plaintiff 22 cents

So Naturally that No

You can turn gray, faded hair beau

"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound"
at any drug store. Millions of bottles of
this old famous Sage Tea Recipe, i'm
proved by the addition Of other ingredi-
ents, are sold annually, says a we'll
known druggist here, because it darkens
the hair so naturally and evenly that no
one can tell it has been applied.
Those whose hair is turning gray or
becoming faded have surprise awaiting
them, because after one or two applica-
lions the gray hair vanishes and your
locks become luxuriantly dark and beau.

This is the age of youth. Gray-haired,
unattractive folks aren't wanted around,
SO get busy with Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound tonight and you'll be de-
lighted with your dark, handsome hair
and your youthful appearance within
few days.
This preparation is toilet requisite
and is not intended for the cure, mitiga-

BRITISH TANKS

Greatest War Picture Ever
Made of Battle of Ancre to
Be at Unique

After repeated efforts to get the
great film feature depicting the one
actual photographed episode of the
war in Europe, Con Martin has sue
ceeded and on the evening of Oct. 10,
next Friday. the official British war
seizures, 1.-The Tanks will be shown
to the fadysmith public at the Unique.
OF this picture the indianapolis
News says:
Nothing SO tensely gripping so ilor-
ribly realistic, has been seen in IN
dianap9lis before as the official Brit
ish war pictures, "The Tanks in Ac
ton at the Battle. OF the Ancre," pre-
sented by the War Relief Fund
through the Pathe Exchange, and
which had their premier in Indian
apolis, at the Circle yesterday.
Care has been taken TO impress the
spectator of these war pictures that
they are real and not cheap imita-
ton of the real thing, as SO many
of the so-calied present day war pic
tures are Every phase OF the every
day life Of the fighting soldier of the
present world war has been caught by
the camera his work, his few pleas
ures and even his actions under fire.
throughout the pictures, though, the
thing most evident is the seeming hap
piness of the soldier, his cheerful OPP
timism, as proved by his smile every
time the camera catches him Off his
guard In the scenes showing the
tanks the novelty of seeing something
the like of which has never been seen
before furnishes the enjoyment.
Two performances at the Unique
will give Ladysmith people an opportu-
nifty to see them just as they were in
the big cities.
