IS OFF TO THE WAR
COUNTY AGENT WIcKHAM LEFT
TODAY. HIS PARTING WORD. -.

Rex Fl. Wickham, county agent,
whose former home was in Missouri,
departed this morning to visit his
folks briefly, enroute to enter the ma
Wy. He enlisted some days ago and re-
ceived almost an immediate call to
duty. Before leaving Mr.. Wickham
said:
II want to express my gratitude and
appreciation to the Farm Bureau Mem
bers, Board of Directors, School Dis
trict Cooperators and all others who
have cooperated with the Farm Bureau
through me in any way whatever to
make the Bureau success and to car
ry out the government program for In
creased Food production. l also want
to thank the newspapers for the space
they have so willingly given in con-
nection with the war program which
thesfarm bureau has been carrying out.
hope, and know the above will give
the same cooperation to the County
Agent who succeeds me as they have
me. Through close and untiring opera
ton of all American citizens Uncle
Sam will be able to supply the food,
men and munitions necessary to con-
quer the treacherous huns. If the peo-
pie of the country will continue to
support and cooperate with the Farm
Bureau there is no doubt in my mind
as to the success of the institution.
The time is not far distant when every
farmer of the county will see the bene-
fits to be derived from the Farm Bur,
eau and will consider it privilege to
be member of same"

GRAY HAIR BECOMES
DARK AND BEAUTIFUL
Try Grandmother's Old Favorite
Recipe ofSSage Tea and ,-I9
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 troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" You will get large
bottle of this old-time recipe improved
by the addition Of other ingredients,
at very little cost. 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 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. thick and glossy and
you look years younger. Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound is a delightful
toilet requisite. It is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention of
disease. d
