According to one of the German
forestry journals, the Kaiser, in
1908, killed 1895 pieces of wild
game, including 70 stays, elk and
roebuck. At that time he had
slaughtered a total of 61,730 pieces
of game, more than 1000 of which
were stays, and was the leading ex-
terminator of wild life in the world.
AS a slaughterer of men, women
and children, since 1914, however,
he has been the foremost extermina-
tor of human life in all history.
FLOODS DID MUCH DAMAGE IN
SKAGIT VALLEY
Mr.. VIM. Stage returned from
Mt. Vernon, Wash, Tuesday where
he spent a week looking over and
estimating the damage done to some
of his real estate in that locality by
the December floods. He says to
repair the damage done will cost
several hundred dollars, but con-
graduates himself for getting off so
lightly. Many valuable farms in
the Skagit valley he states, were
practically ruined by being covered
several feet deep in sand. Many
of the dykes which hold back the
waters of Puget Sound will have to
be rebuilt at considerable cost to
land owners.

HAVE DARK HAIR
AND LOOK YOUNG
Don't Stay Gray! Nobody Can Tell When
You Darken Gray, Faded Hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur.

Grandmother kept her hair beautifully
darkened, glossy and attractive with a
brew OF Sage Tea and Sulphur When
ever her hair took on that dull faded or
streaked appearance, this simple mixture
was applied with wonderful effect. By
asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you will
get large bottle of this old-tim recipe,
improved by the addition Of other ingre-
dents, all ready to use, at very little
cost. This simple mixture can be depend
ed upon TO restore natural color and
beauty to the hair.
A Unknown downtown druggist says
everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound now because it darkens
so naturally and evenly that nobody can
tell it has been applied-it's so easy to
use, too You simply dampen a comb or
soft brush and draw it through your
hair, taking one strand at a time. By
morning the gray hair disappears; after
another application or two it is restored
to its natural color and looks glossy, soft
and beautiful This preparation is a de-
lightful toilet requisite. 1t is not intend
ed for the cure, mitigation or prevention
of disease.--Adv.

NEWBURY

Last Thursday evening at the response
of general invitation, 25 men met at
the home of j. b. Hale for double pur-
pose-that of meeting Foster L. Havi-
| land and his friend, Rev. Ernest A. Pres
sy, pastor OF the Trinity church. Wood
! ford, Portland, Me-; also that of talking
over in an informal way the best method
of forming a mems club in order that
our men can get together once 'in two
weeks the coming winter for social inter
course, touch elbows and get better ac-
| quainted After word of welcome from
the host, followed by few remarks from
Rev. Henry $. Ives, pastor of the Congre-
gational church, Mr.. Hayiland introduced
the speaker, Rev. Ernest A. Pressy, who
covered in his address the whole range
of human history, embracing with won
derful simplicity and clearness five great
epochs, which he separated into conquest,
faith, realization, inspiration and awak-
ening, surveying with fascinating con
tinuity life's activities for the past 5000
years and the impress of its heritage
upon the present period of world strug-
| gle for the liberty of man.
In an astonishingly few words Mr..
Pressy pictured the wonderful civiliza
tion existing among the Samarians and
| Akkadians, when at the beginning of the
period of conquest b.. G. 5000 the hordes
of Semitic people swept down from the
| highlands, overrun the MesoDotamian
valley and took the ancient civilization
in this cradle of the human race between
the Tigris and Euphrates.
| He lucidly portrayed the following pc
riod, the progress of faith, when arose
! citizen Abraham and a new phase of his
torieal progress was traced for 1000
years, to the beginning of the third pc
| riod, that of realization, remarkable for
| the rise and establishment Of David and
Solomon and showing of what Abraham
only dreamt was realized in the glories
of this new kingdom, preceding the fourth
| period of inspiration, evidenced MT by
material but by spiritual progress. Here
Christ brought the inspiration upon
which we live to-day.
! With marvellous clearness Mr.. Pressy
exhibited his perception as man and as
a student in bringing his hearers under
standingly down through the preceding
| years of this fifth epoch, that Of the
great awakening, when new start, a
new inspiration, began following A. d.
1000, when it was thought the world was
at an end and through the ensuing pc
riod of the birth of art, literature, build.
ing and the crusades to the present dawn
of a period of freedom, democracy and
civilization. Following the address light
refreshments were served, short speeches
were made by various ones and social
time was enjoyed by all Rev. Mr.. Ives

 ARRESTED FOR
 KILLING GIRL

Information received in Fairbanks from Chitina is to the effect that a messenger formerly connected with the Globe Messenger company here was arrested for the murder of Rose Hilbert, who was killed at Mccarthy few days ago. but was later re- leased. The man is believed to be Ernest Gerkin, who was formerly a messenger here, and who is known to be at Chitina or Mccarthy at the present time. The arrest. it is stat. ed, was made after another person. Joe Petrie, was found dead in his bed. and whose death is believed to have been caused by either pois. oning or smothering. A Jap is stat ed to have also been arrested in connection with the murder and the other supposed crime.
 But little is known of Gerkin here. He came to Fairbanks from Dawson a number of years ago and immedi. ately became interested in the mes. senger business. He left here for the coast last fall.

BIG SNOW WAS PREDICTED BY
 THE NATIVES

To old Valdezians and other resi- dents of coast districts. the present snow-flled streets of Fairbanks are a familiar sight, but to the average Fairbanksan they are something to remember and tell to future genera tions. For ''in the memory of the oldest inhabitants" speaking in the vernacular, Fairbanks never had such snow as that which has just fallen. The big fall of snow this winter was. however, predicted by the natives. They said last fall that 1t was certain to come after the caribou came down from tn, hills and overran the valleys, stat ing that that was a certain sign O. heavy snow.
 But Fairbanks is emerging from the drifts. Everywhere the snow shovel is in evidence, and a number of the teamsters of the city, al though unable to go outside of the city limits because of the snow are exercising their teams by hitch ing them to the snow blow. In this way a number of the principal streets have been cleaned so as to be passable for sleds.
 The blockade of the streets has been accompanied by a number of incidents which, when not serious are of an amusing nature. They have to deal chiefly with the upset. ting of sleds. Among those who tipped their sleds over in drift was Ben Hoerler, the water man. whose tank load of water was upset near the school house. The acci. dent took place during a recess and Ben therefore had plenty of help to right the sled. Several sled loads of wood are also understood to have turned over in the drifts.
