THE MULES TESTIMONY

The originator of widely known probation system, Judge William J. Pollard of St. Louis police court, is the subject of story that illus trates unique way of dealing out justice to minor offenders.
 A driver had been brought before Judge Pollard, charged with cruelty to animals. He had been driving a galled mule, but he had an expert witness in a veterinarian, who testi- fled that the sore on the mules back did not pain the animal in the least.
 The judge listened attentively to the long technical opinion and then demanded to know the mules where abouts. He was informed that he was harnessed to wagon that stood in front of the court house. The judge then ordered that court be adjourned for five minutes.
 He took his cane and proceeded to the street, went up to the mule and with the end of his cane gently touched the sore spot on the ami mals back. The mule promptly tried to kick the dashboard off the wagon. once again the judge touched the sore spot with his cane and the mule responded as before.
 Judge Pollard returned to the bench. The prisoner was called be- fore him.
 With all due respect to the ex- pert testimony you have introduced in your behalf to show that the mules back does not pain him, fine you $50" announced the judge. T just asked the mule if the sore hurt him and he said it did"-Case and Comment

 body can tell.

Hair that loses it's color and lustre or when 1t fades, turns gray. dull and lifeiess, is caused by lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful and, thousands of women and men who value that even color. that beautiful dark shade of hair which is so at tractive, use only this oid-time recipe.
 Nowadays we get this famous mix ture improved by the addition of other ingredients by asking at any drug store for a bottle of ''Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" which dark ems the hair so naturally, so evenly. that nobody can possibly tell 1t has been applied You just 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; but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound Is that. be- sides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications. 1t also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it an appearance of abundance. .
 Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound Is a delightful toilet requisite to impart color and youthful ap- pearance to the hair. It is not in- tended for the cure. mitigation or pre- vention of disease.

U. S.SENATOR BEN
 PULLMAN IS DEAD
HAS BEEN MEMBER OF CON- GRESs FOR LAST 24 YEARS FOUGHT FAITHFULLY FOR BIG NAVY.

Washington. July S.--United States Senator Benjamin R. Tillman, vet ersn of 24 years service in congress and chairman of the Senate Naval Affairs Committee, died at his home here carly today as the result of .cerebal hemorrhage suffered last Thursday The stroke completely paralyzed the left side and as the right had been partially paralyzed since a similar attack ten years ago, no hope had been held for Senator Tillman's recovery since he lapsed into unconsciousness last Sunday.
 As governor of South Carolina, as a leader in the Southern wing of the democratic party, as an active par ticipant in the last generations growth of the American navy, Sen ator Tillman has been prominently before the public for many years.
 Senator Swanson of Virginia prob ably will be his successor as head of the naval committee, to which Senator Tillman has devoted almost his exclusive interest in congression- al legislation for many ears. He had been it's chairman since 1913 and was one of the most ardent big navy advocates. being among the first to urge extension of submarine construction and government manu- facture of armor plate.
 Although Senator Tillman partially recovered from his first stroke of paralysis, his vitality was unable to withstand the last and most se- were attack All members of his family, except son who is suffering from a minor operation in southern army camp, were at the bedside at his death
 Senator Tillman's death promises an .unheval in South Carolina poli- tics He died in the heat of a pri- mary campaign, in which his long time political opponent. former Gov. Cole NJ. Blease, was contesting for ! nomination to the senate. Saying that he desired to continue giving his country and state during the war the benefit of his long experience with naval affairs. Senator Tiliman recently revoked decision not to he a candidate for reelection.

WATCH FOR THE SWEET POTATO
 WEEvlL

Buy and eat Arkansas sweet pota- toes eaiy. Plant aotaing bat Arkan- sas grown slips This is the advice given, to the peepse of the state by George G. Becker. Entomogolist. Uni versity of Arkansas, because the sweet potato weevil. a destructive in sect which is spread by being carried in shipments Of sweet potatoes and sweet potato slips. has long beea known to occur In Texas and Louis jana and is npw dangerously close to the Arkansas line and may prove dangerous menace to Arkansss sweet potato growers.
 Nature of its Damage
 The sweet potato weevil and it's larvae bora into vines and roots of the sweet potato and the larvae or grubs work their way down the stem of the vine of the sweet potato where they cause their greatest damage. Here they tunnel out in all directions. leaving their burrows filled behind them with a powdery looking excre- ment. Sweet potatoes may become 30 badly infested that they are rejected even by hogs, and weevils may be come numerous enough in q field so as to make the crop q total failure
 Tn order to avoid the introduction of this pest the State Plant Board at its meeting held in Rogers. Ark. on March 18th enacted most drastic rules which call for the destruction of all sweet potato slips and other products coming into the state and found to be infested with the weevil consequently, the safest plan is to buy the home grown products and thus stop shipments from questionable sources.
 Every farmer will and it to has owr interest 10 keep constantly on tn, lookout for this pest and report ol send any suspicious weevil or pota toes immediately to the State Into nologist. University oe ArkansaA Fayetteville.

REDUCE SWEET
 POTATO LOSSES
IT IS SAID MUCH OF THE LOSS DUE TO DISEASES MAY BE
 PREVENTED.

Hv John A. Elliott. Plant Patholog'st
 Arkansas Agricultural Experiment.
 Station
 1 It has been proved by repeated ex- l periments that many of the diseases of the sweet potato can be controlled OF very much reduced by proper seed selection and treatment. and crop TO. tation. Clean seed planted in clean soil will produce clean crop. Badly diseased seed cannot os made safe by any treatment, and such seed should be discarded.
 Treatment For Sweet Potatoes. First. Choose seed that is as clean s-s possible.
 Second: Treat the seed. Treat ment: use care as this is very pois- onous). Corrosive subiimate 1 ounce. water gallons Let the potatoes soak for % to 30 minutes-not longer. ] Formalin may be substituted for cor rosiys-subiimate, in which case use l pint Of 40 per cent Formalin in SO gallons of water. Soak for two hours not longer tCOrrosive-sublimate IS better).
 Third: Bed iu clean, disease-free sand which has not been used before and ia not from a field where pota- toes have been grown. If crop has been badly diseased. change the ioca- tion of the bed to clean soil.
 Fourth: Plant in fieid free from disease. If a field has produced a diseased crop. do not use it. for grow ing potatoes for at least two seasons. If this plan. is followed carefully a clean crop of potatoes should b. raised.
 Clean potatoes, carefully handled and stored in clean, properly ventilat- ed and heated houses. will keep with very little loss.
 Nematode or Eel Worm: This para site causes swelling and cracking of the roots. Treatment does no good Do not plant such roots. and do not plant root crops in infested soils.
 Diseases Spread By infected Seed
 Sweet Potato.
 Blacs Rot: This disease causes regular black spots on the roots. If bedded, the sprouts become infected and spread the disease to the field. ln- Pected plants produce diseased roots which. if stored, cause serious loss m storAae Infected roots are not ft for food Never bed such seed
 Mummy Rot: This disease causes sunkeh spots on the surface of the po- tato and may entirely destroy it. The Inside of the root is brown or black. 1t is spread in the same manner as black rot and causes heavy losses in storage. The disease does not injure the taste of the part of the root not destroyed. Never bed roots with this disease, as treatment will do no good.
 Soil Stain: This disease affects on- ly the skin, and infected roots may be bedded after being treated. If not treated the disease spreads and causes much loss due to shrinkage in storage.
 yeIlows or Wilt: This disease causes browning or blacken.ns of the inside of the roots and stems, and xilting of the vines. A cut end shows a dark ring on the inside. Treatment does no good. Never plant such seed.
 "Pit" or Pox: This disease causes pits and scabs on the surface of the potato. Badly pi.ted roots should not be treated. as the infection may be too deep to be resched.

an armistiee have been handed BY Gem
eral Diaz, the italian commander -in-chief,
to Austrian officers who entered the lines
bearing white flag. Official announce
ment To this effect was made to-day.
The conditions Of the armistice are in
spired by the principles Of President Will

profiting by the armistiee to withdraw
from difficult military situation.
Washington, d. G., Nov. 2.-An intima-

stice terms submitted by General Diaz to
the Austrians ii given in an official dis.
patch from Rome to-day, saying;
"The Italian victory il hourly assum-

diligence toward an enemy which up to
the last minute Of his domination has in
suited our women, devastated lands and
fought with the most barbarity, would
be a crime"
The same message reports that from
the sea TO the mountains three Austrian
army corps are in flight; that all roads
are open to Isonzo, the first place where
the Austrians probably win attempt to

Rome, Nov. 2.-The Austrians are fee

the Piave, according to reports received
here. They have abandoned a great
quantity Of war material in the region
of Udine, which was Italian headquar-

front the enemy is giving way before the
smashing blows of the allies.
When the Fadalto pass was taken, the
way was opened to Belluno and the Aus
trian armies were separated. Smulta-
neously the fourth italian army renewed
its fierce attack in the Monte Grappa re-
