Father CAUSES
BOOST IN PRICES

CHICAGO, March g. - Unsettled
weather and the. comparatively small
amount of understandable corn shown
n the government crop report tended
.oday to strengthen the corn market.
Prevailing moisture and warmth were
considered likely to diminish the sup;
ply of good grades. Besides. the need
Of a greater number Of ears to meet
rural requirements acted as further
handicap to the bears. Opening
prices, which were unchanged with
May 1927 IA, were followed by a
slight advance.
Seantiness of arrivals gave an up
turn to cats. Business was almost en-
tireiy local. After opening unchanged
TO 1-s off with May SO s-s to SO 1-a,
prices rose TO we'll above yesterday
finish.
Provisions weakened owing to no,
tice of the huge supply of cured meats
In the west. Higher quotas on hogs
were ignored.

Be PRETTY! TURN
GRAY HAIR DARK.
Try Grandmother's Old Favorite
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre 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 trouble
some. Nowadays, by asking at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" you viii get a large
bottle OF this famous old recipe, i'm
proved by the addition of other in
gradients, at a small cost.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does 1t so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound Is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire dark hair and a
youthful appearance. It is not in
tended for the cure, mitigation or pre-
ventfon Of disease.

they came out in a dozen or more
rowboats to meet the vessel on which
he travelled
He is in the hospital department Of
tie navy, being a registered pharma-
cist. and describes the hospital at
st. Thomas as a modern and up-to-
date affair, we'll equipped for the pur-
poses to which it is being devoted.
There are no wells on the island, he
states, and the population is en-
tireIy dependent upon cisterns for a
water supply, even these running low
during the long dry season. The is
lands are little else than mountains
towering two thousand feet above the
sea, and these eminences are being
strongly fortified by the military au-
thOrities.
He tells interestingly of the natives
and their habits and says st. Thomas
is a delightful place in which to live,
but expresses the hope in his letter
that he may soon be again with his
friends back in Georgia.

NANTUCKET, Mass, Aug. 2l.
I'M A story indicating that an
officer of one of the German
submarines operating off the Ameri-
can coast, may have attended a New
York theater on the night OF August
y, was disclosed yesterday by the
wife Of a we'll known New York
playwright and prominent member Of
the summer colony here. She was
among those whJ rendered assistance
TO the fishermen brought TO the is
land August II after a submarine
had destroyed their vessel the pre-
vious day off Georges banks.
One Of the fishermen, a member of
the crew OF the Lena A., told her,
she said, that he was questioned by
the German petty officer who board
ed the schooner. During the conver-
sation they talked Of New York and
the fisherman asked the German if
he had ever been there. The officer,
he said, smiled and took from his
pocket two seat checks, for Broad
way theater. dated Thursday eve
ming, August g. two days before the
1ttack on the fishing fleet.
In telling the incident, the woman
explained that the story had slipped
her mind until il was recalled to her
by reports from Washington that the
raiders we're believed TO have land
ed men on these shores. Her story
was corroborated by another promi-
neni resident Of the island who also
interviewed the fisherman.
