BARNETTS PROPHECY

"Dr. Frank Willis Barnett, with un- shaken faith and confidence in us as a race, like thousands of other high class southern white men, happened to be on the scene: he took our part--de- most needed time. He said that the negro has. been, is now, and always will be- loyal to this government, and can be depended upon absolutely dur ing this war. Dr. Barnett did not stop with this statement but he came among us to encourage us and to see that we were properly informed He spoke in our churches, schools, halls and in private conferences with those of us whom he thought could be trusted to take patriotic message to the masses and to make known rhe programme of our government in the winning of this war, and to bring about an honorable peace.
 When one considers how we'll the negroes in Jefferson county have played their part since war was de- clared, in the conservation of food, the work of the Red Cross. buying of Thrift Stamps and Liberty Bonds and how he is working now six days in a week and longer if need De- on the farm, in the work shops, and especially in the coal mines, to end this destruc- tion of humanity, I say, when all of this is considered, no one will say that Dr Barnett made mistake when ne spoke for us as a race
 We thoroughly understand today that this is our country, and that Old Glory is our flag, and we will wade through hell before the Stars and Stripes shall trail in the dust. We are not dreaming now we know that the Kaiser is not in love with us, and that he does not believe in God. If he did he would not destroy the large

Grandlna's Recipe Of Sage

Almost anyone knows that Sage Tea

brings back the natural color and lus-
tire to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to
get this mixture was to make it at
home, which is mussy and troublesome
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth IS Sage and Sui
phur Compound - fou will get large
bottle of this old time recipe improv-
ed by the addition of other ingredients
for about so cents. Everybody uses
this preparation now, because no one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plieation or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy and
you look years younger. .Wyeth IS Sage
and Sulphur Compound is a delightful
toilet requisite. It is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention Of
disease.

army program be developed under a
comprehensive plan which will best util-
ize the resources Of the country.
"From the outbreak of the war Mr..
Stettinius has been in full charge of
the allies purchases in this country and
has been responsible for the develop
ment of the production of war material.
His intimate knowledge of war 'condi-
tions in Europe and in the United States
as related to industry and the practical
means he has used to accomplish his
plans prominently qualify him for his
position.
"Mr Stettinius will assume his new
duties at once and establish his office
in Washington.
While his purchases will be distinct
from the navy purchase system, his ap-
pointment makes him practically a mu-
nitions director.
This step, it is anticipated, will kill
the Chamberlain effort to pass a muni-
tions director bill.
Stettinius, one of the country s money
kings, has long been associated with
j. P. Morgan and company. The enor-
nous contracts financed through the
house of Morgan were in Stettinius
hands and his intimate contact with all
war factories and his recognized busi-
ness ability are considered certain to
go far in sweeping aside the halts and
chickering's heretofore existent in war
purchases.

STATUS
NOT YET SETTLED
Government Ownership Must
Await Wars Conclusion
It Is Decided

| Washington, Jan. 25.-The question
of government ownership of the rail
roads must wait until after the war
members of the house interstate com.
merce committee have agreed.
| As result of the committed IS hear
| ings a substitute for the administra-
tion s railroad bill has been prepared
| by the committee and it declares
"nothing in the act shall be construed
tas expressing or prejudicing the future
policies OF the federal government con
cerning the ownership, control or reg
ulation of carriers"
This provision was added as an
amendment to the last section of the
administration s bill which many con.
sidered was planned as a government
ownership '1oop hole" This section
originally provided only that the fuel
control shall continue as long after the
war as congress shall desire.
The house committee believes the act
is expressly emergency legislation en-
acted to meet conditions growing out of
the war; and that it is not wise to
connect up government Legislation with
| it now.
A change was also made in the com.
pensation plan by the substitute bill.
improvements shall be charged up
to tie railroads, the original bill pro-
vided and the house committee wants
to add to the original compensation plan
some recompense in dividends for inn
provement investments.
This additional dividend would be
determined by the interstate commerce
commission, the substitute bill provides.
1t also expressly states that the roads
shall be returned in substantially as
good repair as at the beginning of the
federal control, or just payment shall
be made therefor.
Changes were also made in the tax
alton of the carriers.
All extra war taxes and other federal
taxes are to be deducted from the
amount of compensation the roads will
receive from the government but all
other taxes shall be paid out of rev.
enues derived from railway operations
while under federal control.''
The $500,000,0 900 revolving fund may
also be used to make up any deficit in
the compensation fund, the house COM
mittee provided.
The new bill provides that the presi-
dent may prescribe a system of com
pensation for the disability, OF death of
employees or he simply may turn over
the work to the employees compensation
commission.
All claims so paid are to be taken out
of operating expenses.
