800 0STRICHES TO Be BUTCH
Erred AND SOLD IN ARIZONA
Cotton Is More Profitable Than the
Big Birds Is the Opinion of the
Western Ranchers.

GLENDALE, Ariz.-More than
$4,000 pounds of ostrich meat is to
be sold to the people of this part of
Arizona by order Of the state food
administrator. 1t will be supplied by
the slaughter of 800 ostriches on
the ranch of J. E. Cogdell, who has
found that the growing of long staple
cotton is more profitable than ostrich
culture.
Most of the flocks that were form
erly found in the Salt River Valley
have been sold or turned loose t.
shift for themselves. Only a few
years ago there were 5000 to 10000
of these giant birds on the ranches
and farms of this section. Ostrich
eggs were served daily on the tables,
and use of ostrich meat was not at
all uncommon
Some regard it as a possibility that
the ostriches which have been let
loose in the foot hills and the uncul-
tivated parts of the valley will be-
come adapted to the wild life and
increase in numbers. But coyotes and
other depredating wild animals are
so fond of the eggs and young os-
triches that it is deemed improbable
that they will long exist in their I'M
domesticated state.

GRANDMA USED SAGE
TEA TO DARKEN HAIR
She mixed Sulphur with it to
Restore Color, Gloss,
YouthfulnesS.

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea with sulphur added, will
turn gray, streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just
a few applications will prove a reveal
ton il your hair is fading. Streaked or
gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sui
phur recipe at home, though, Is trou-
blesome. An easier way is to get a
bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound at any drug store all ready
for use. This is the old-time recipe
improved by the addition Of other in
gradients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. By darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,
no one can tell, because it does it so
naturally, so evenly. You just dampen
a sponge or soft brush with 1t and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time; by morning
all gray hairs have disappeared, and,
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy
soft and luxuriant.
This preparation is a delightful toilet
requisite and is not intended for the
cure, mitigation or prevention OF dis
ease.

of the train shed itself was deepened
by smoke. The sudden contrast made
it impossible for him to see the empty

that his engine crashed into them

GEORGIA SECOND IN
FOOD AND CATTLE
TEXAS LED SOUTHERN STATES
IN 1917. THE NEW ENGLAND
STATES UNDER GEORGIA.

Figures just available at the fed
eral department of agriculture show
that, with the exception of Texas,
Georgia led all southern states in the
value of agricultural and animal
products for the year 1917.
Leading States.
The department estimates the val
ue of Georgia's animal and crop prod
ucts for the year at $605, 100000.
The four leading Atlantic seaboard
states were New York, $500, 100000;
Pennsylvania, $685., 900, 900; Georgia,
S605, 100000, and North Carolina.
$483, 100000.
The products of the strictly south
ern states, exclusive Of Maryland,
West Virginia and Kentucky,
amounted to a grand total of more
than four and half billions.
Georgia alone produced more than
all the New England states with their
total of $481, 100000. Crop and ami
NAL products of six western states,
Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico
Wyoming and Idaho, were only
S459, 100000 as compared to the
Georgia production. The agricultural
and crop products of Texas for the
year amounted to $1,045, 100000,
Texas being largest in territory and
cotton and cattle production.
The following figures for the pro-
duction in 1917 are given by the de-

short time crowd of several thous-
and was menacing the prisoner.
With one rush the thousands
charged the score of police and sail
ors clustered about the shivering
prisoner. Forming a rink like steel
the little body resisted the surging,
angered mob. The uproar was at its
height when one of the policemen
slipped through the crowd and put in
rush call for the mounted police.
Under their escort the prisoner was
taken to the police station.
Cops Fight Pitched Battle.
Shortly after II o'clock last night
negroes from all sections of the city
modified 800 strong and marched
down Twenty-fifth street to make an
assault in force on the police, who
had been gathered from every sta
tion-house in the city.
Reaching Twenty-ffth and Wash
ington avenue the blacks split I'D in
bands and marched west. The first
gang of about so was met by the po-
lice at Twenty-sixth and Ellsworth
streets. The cops and bluecoats open
ed fire as soon as they met and hot
pitched battle was fought
The cops succeeded in driving the
negroes back and scattered them,
making many arrests. Part of the
gang re-assembled in a large lumber
yard at Twenty-sixth and Ellsworth
streets, where from behind the high
piles of lumber they continued to
fire at the police.
Mobs Wreck Homes.
Mobs of youngsters wrecked the
deserted house, where the colored
family had fed in terror the day be-
fore. A gang of boys broke in and
completely wrecked the interior. Not
a policeman appeared during all this
time and hundreds of mothers and
relatives cheered the lads in their
work of smashing the interior of
these dwellings. Other similar acts
were reported through the day, but
no arrests were made except those
of negroes who were found to be
carrying concealed weapons and who
had made threats against their white
neighbors.

Swallowed the other matters coming
before the house of representatives

of apparently minor Importance the

Mr.. Wright, in opposition to the
measure, took the opportunity to ex-
plain his views on the general policy
Of salary increases.
"The high cost Of living is non
sense to large extent, and this argu-
ment is being used for many pur-
poses" said Mr.. Wright. "My family
lives on sixty dollars month and
lives we'll. Ny wife and l do most

statement that the high cost of living
was "rot."

RACE PREJUDICE IS
RAMPANT In NORTH
NEGRESS MOVING INTO WHITE
SETTLEMENT CAUSES BLOODY
RIOT IN PHILADELPHIA.

PHILADELPHIA, Penn.-Violent
race riots which began Saturday and
continued to a late hour on Sunday,
gave that district the appearance of
Petrograd during the Russian revolu-
ton. Three negro men were killed in
the constant battling between the
whites and blacks and nearly fifty
were wounded. Armed crowds on the
streets fought with one another con-
tinuOusly, while many snipers, sta
toned on housetops and behind clos
ed shutters, kept firing at the crowds
along the streets. Not in many years
has Philadelphia been the scene of so
much disturbance.
The situation was still critical last
night. Two hundred and fifty po-
licemen from all districts in the cen
trail and southern parts of the city
patrolled every street, but the snip
ing continued. The Home Defense
reserves were modified in the Sew
enteenth district police station at
Twentieth and Federal streets. Com
mander Payne, commandant of the
Naval Home, held a force of 200 ma
rines in readiness to answer at a
moments notice should the police
need them
The police were unable to estimate
the number of injured. Many OF
those who were hurt were hiding in
their own homes or else were secret
ed by their friends. 1t is believed
that several of the snipers were. shot
from the street, but have not receiv-
ed medical attention.
Negroes Invade White Section.
The whole trouble is the result of
the purchase of the house at 1886
Ellsworth street by Adelia Bond, a
colored woman. This is a white
neighbOrhood, which has been grad
ually encroached upon by negroes, a
situation giving rise to much discon-
tent among the white householders.
The Bond woman moved in last We'd
nesday and Immediately her white
neighbors began to demonstrate their
hostility
Exactly what happened on Thurs
day and Friday is not known. The
negro woman says that her house
was attacked several times by white
people, that garbage was scattered on
her front steps and that bricks were
thrown through her windows. This
the police deny.
Negro Shoots White Woman.
John Williams, negro, came along
the street scraping, bowling and smil-
ing to every one on the street. Sud
denly, without a word or any warn
ing he whipped out a revolver and
shot Mrs. Sarah Abrams, forty-seven
wears old, who was sitting at the win
dow of her home. The bullet entered
her right arm, which was crossed
over her heart.
\ gathering of enraged white men
and women swiftly reached the scene.

August, 1914, when the fever ran
through the city. Everywhere there
were flags and flowers.
The following description of the en-
try reached here this evening from the
Berlin correspondent OF the Nieuwe
Rotterdamsche Courant:
"The entry of the guard regiments
through the Brandenburger gate was a
remarkable manifestation OF national
sentiment. The pressure in the streets
was 80 great as to endanger life. The
march of the entering troops in regular
formation was at first impossible.
Eventually men from the entering
troops had to be told off to assist in
making a way for their comrades. No
where had cordons been formed in ad-
vance, not even in front OF the grand
stand, from which members of the Gov
ernment watched the spectacle, but the
mad throng was good humored and this
was shared by the troops in spite Of
their violent exertions and almost hope
less efforts to keep back the crowd.
.'In wave after wave the soldiers
struggled forward amid flags. greenery
and flowers. In front of the process
sion marched q row Of soldiers holding
high banners in the colors of the new
republic, black. red and gold. Then
came detachments representing regi-
ments Of all the Federal States with
their own colors in their rifle barrels.
First came the Bavarlans with their
blue and gold, fine fellows. still we'll
equipped, and many on horseback. 9th
ers were seated on caissons, which were
also covered with flowers and greenery.
Alongside many of the infantrymen
marched with their wives and sweet
hearts The cheering was not very loud
but ran as a murmur along Inter den
Linden, where all the windows, bal
comics and roofs were occupied by
spectators.
"Neither on the houses nor among
the incoming soldiers were any red flags
TO be seen. but from the Russian en-
bassy the symbol OF revolution was
flown. Some of the bands played
Deutschland ueber Allies others played
soldiers melodies, but not a single revo-
lutionary tune was heard.
