AN IMMENSE CROWD
GREETS SPEAKERS
1000 People Attend Liber-
ty Loan Meeting
Here.

II there ever was any doubt that
the hearts and souls of Ohio county
people are in this war to win it was
dispelled by the immense crowd that
gathered here yesterday to hear the
Liberty Loan speakers discuss the
importance of the bond sale Between
1900 and 1000 people gathered in the
public square at the opening OF the
meeting. On account of the great
crowd present it was necessary to
hold the meeting in the open air, and
the first speakers appeared upon the
balcony of the court house.
The 1876 Infantry Military band
from Camp Taylor came down, and
added inspiring music to the occa-
sion. The band was composed of 26
pieces, and was under the direction
of Emory w. Clark. The band rem
dered a number of patriotic airs, that
were pleasing and inspiring to the
audience. . rs-
Mr.. John H. Barnes introduced the
first speaker, Capt. Nash, of Camp
Taylor, who made brief address
that stirred the great crowd present
to earnest enthusiasm Capt. Nash
told his hearers that we might have
lost all the wars in which we have
ever engaged and still live, but if
this war was lost all was lost
The principle speech was delivered
by Col. E. T. Franks, of greensboro,
On account of the fact that he is
speaking daily in the interest of the
bond sale, Col Franks could not speak
in the open air, and delivered his ad-
dress in the court house. Every
valuable space in the court house was
crowded with people who were anx-
ious to hear the well known speaker.
Col. Franks struck straight from
the shoulder. He told the people
frankly that on the battle line in
France the Allies were being pushed
back inch by inch, foot by foot and
mile by mile, and that the greatest
sacrifice must be made by the Amer
lean people to check the victorious
onslaughts of the Huns. He said the
American people had been asleep at
the post while the Hunnish hordes
were undermining their liberties, and
must awaken to their duties before
the clock struck the doom of Democ-
racy to the free people of the earth.
Many people said Col. Franks made
the strongest speech ever delivered
in the court house, and the aroused
spirit of the people after coming
away from the hall demonstrated that
his pointed shafts had hit the mark.
We may not say just what the sub
scriptions amounted to at the close of
the meeting, but we can state that the
fondest hopes of the Liberty Loan
Organization were fully gratified,
even beyond that looked for.

Hun Coup Is Prevented.
During a battle usual stories al
ways crop up, but the following is
one which the correspondent heard
from an unquestionable source and
it is said to have been verified:
In one of the periods when the
American engineers and their Cana

driver was in the uniform of Brit

for the commanding officer. He was
taken to Canadian officer nearby.
The staff officer ordered the COM
mander TO retire four kilometers, say

For some reason the Canadian COM

SAGE TEA DARKENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't stay gray! Here's a simple
recipe that anybody can apply
with "a hair brush.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to it's natural
color dates back to grandmother's
time. She used it to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and attrac-
tive. Whenever her hair took on that
dull, faded or streaked appearance,
this simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
prt-of- date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for bottle Of "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound you
will get this famous old preparation,
improved by the addition Of other in
gradients, which can be depended up
on to restore natural color and beauty
10 the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair 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 your hair, taking one
strand at a time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, it becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
Tor those who desire a more youthful
appearance. 1t is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention Of
disease. e.s
