SUFFERS BROKEN ARM

Leo Gordon, who is employed by
Sherman & Hancock at the Red Barn
had the misfortune to break his right
arm between the shoulder and elbow
Morday afternoon about 4:S0 o'clock
He and Miles Leedom had gone north
of town to haul a couple of loads OF
hay to the barn, and they crossed on
the dam in the A. X. Wood pasture
just north of town. They were on
their return and Mr.. Leedom had
crossed the dam in safety, and when
Mr. Gordon got on the dam the wagon
seemed to slip and slide and finally
it went over, and he made jump,
but he fell into tue from. wheel Of the
wagon and his arm was broken about
midway between the shoulder aud the
elbow. Mr. Leedom got Mr. Gordon
on his load and brought him to town
Immediately, and DR. Master of Car
ter was summoned and he reduced
the fracture. At this writing Mr.
Gordon is getting along as well as
could be expected. This accident is
rather tough on Mr.. Gordon, but he
can be thankful he escaped as luckily
as he did.

OUR RED CROSS IS
NOT AIDING ENEMY
NATIONS NOWADAYS

Patriotic Americans VINO have been
heIplng the Red Cross have Of late
peen making anxious inquiries as to
whether the humanity and the neutral
lty OF the Red Cross would constrain
IL TO send food, medicines and hospi-
tai units to Germany.
1 want to give to help our boys,
and the stricken people of France and
Belgium and Serbia" many a one has
written in; but l don't feel like doing
anything if the Germans get part of

Americans need be under no appre-
hension. Not cent OF Red Cross con-
tributions is going to Germany, or has
gone there since the war was declared
by the United States. General Per.
shing is now In Europe to convey to
the kaiser Uncle Sans S. compliments in
the form of shells and American bay
onets, but the Red Cross has no part
in that except to care for such OF Gen.
eral Pershing's men as may need care.
The matter of sending Red Cross
supplies to Germany was brought up
in the recent Red Cross war council
In Washington. Charles d. Norton.
one of the members, answered inquir.
les thus:
The answer is exceedingly simple.
We do not purpose to be tried for trea.

and comfort to our enemies. We mean

ported this view. He said that when
wounded Germans fell into the hands
of the American Red Cross they will
get the same treatment as our own
men: but that it would undoubtedly
be treason to send supplies to Ger
many as we did before we were fore
ed into the war.
So Americans can give freely, know

CULTIVATION MAKES
POTATOES THRIVE

Rast Lansing, Mich, June 10Th.
Gardeners and farmers who haze pota-
to crops coming on will find il to their
advantage, say potato specialists OF the
Michigan Agricultural college, to cult
vate thoroughly their gardens and
fields.
THE cultivator should be started as
soon as the potatoes are up sufficiently
to show the rows plainly, according to
the potato men, 1T is assumed that
narrowing has been done as described
in previous article. The first time
the cultivator is used it should be run
close to the rows and deep. This is for
the purpose of loosening up the soil
and putting it in a condition suitable
for the soil bacteria to work TO best ad-
vantage. A small amount of soil should
be thrown around the plants to cover
and kill any small weeds which may
not have been killed by the harrow.
"After the first time over, the cult
vator should be run more shallow to
avoid breaking off the small rootlets.
The frequency of cultivation will de-
pend upon the nature of the soil, the
persistency of weed growth and the
amount of rainfall. AT least three things
should be accomplished by cultivation.
The weeds should be kept from grow
ing, the soil moisture from evaporating
and the surface Of the soil kept loose TO
facilitate aeration. The plant food will
be liberated more freely, and plant
growth stimulated to greater degree
if the surface OF the soil is kept open
and porous, than will be the case if it
is permitted TO become firm, or baked.
Cultivation should be kept up as
long as it is possible to get between the

IF HAIR IS TURNING
GRAY, USE SAGE TEA
Here's Grandmother's Recipe to
Darken and Beautify
Faded Hair.

That beautiful, even shade OF dark,
glossy hair can only be had by brewing
mixture OF Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Your hair is your charm. 1t makes or
mars the face. When it fades, turns
gray or streaked, just an application or
two of Sage and Sulphur enhances its
appearance hundredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the mixture;
YOU can get this famous old recipe i'm
proved by the addition of other ingredi-
ents for so cents large bottle, all ready
for use. 1t is called Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound. This can always be
depended upon to bring back the natural
color and lustre of your hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it dark
ems so naturally and evenly that nobody
can tell it has been applied. You simply
dampen a sponge or soft brush with it
and draw this through the hair, taking
one small strand at time; by morning
the gray hair has disappeared, and after
another application it becomes beauti-
fully dark and appears glossy and lus
trous. This ready to-use preparation is
a delightful toilet requisite for those who
desire dark hair and a youthful appear
snce. 1t is not intended for the cure,
mitigation or prevention of disease.

Bed Cross Trench Work.

Red Cross surgeons and orderlies
give first aid to the wounded In little
underground dressing stations in the
front line trenches. In these dark, wet
places, cold and iii-ventilated, it is
sometimes necessary to perform major
operations-such as an amputation, for
instance. War records in France show
that as many Red Cross workers as in
fantrymen are killea by enemy fire in
the trenches. Red Cross field service
requires courage OF the highest order.

RED CROSS NEEDS FUND

Throughout Country
New York and Chicago Will Give at
Least SAC, 900, ooo-Every Region
Must Be Generous Now.

Uncle Sam is calling for Red Cross
fund of 100000 900 to enable the Red
Cross to give the proper care to the
sick and wounded, the homeless and
the desolate, when his men get into
the fighting in earnest. New YORK city
has promptly pledged itself to raise
one-fourth of whatever sum is needed
and is now collecting the money. chi
cago has been asked for something be
tween 100000 and $1O,0OO,OOO, the
levy based on population and credit
rating.
Mr.. o. B. Towne has been appointed
by Washington as director OF the heu
Cross war fund campaign, for the cen
trail division, and has opened drive
for the money in nine states.
The money is being raised by sub
scription among the various chapters,
and il has been arranged that each
chapter shall have one-fourth Of what
ever sum it raises. Mr.. Towne hopes
that the country will raise enough to
give the national organization its full
500 900 900 over and above what the
chapters retain.
The Red Cross is compelled to raise
its fund from the people because it
has so small an endowment fund
less than $4,000, 000-while Japan. for
instance. has more than $4,000 600 in
her fund, the income from which pays
all expenses.
The money is necessary to keep up

the first two or three civilizations, only
the surface of the soil should be stirred.
Much harm is frequently done, especial
