Arkansas BAND RETURNS
Played in Twenty Two Cities to IS,
900 People.
BY sERGT. H. c. WHITEHEAD.

> I
The An-Kansas band is back again
in Funston after tour OF the state
lasting from March to April 1. In
this time twenty-five cities were Wis
tied and thirty concerts played to ap-
proxirlately $4,000 people, to say
nothing of the thousands that heafo
the band in several free and short
street concerts. From every point OF
view the trip was an immense sue
cess. Not an empty seat faced the
band anywhere and everywhere the
people did their utmost to snow their
great appreciation of their Kansas
boys.
Leaving Cawker City. which con-
cert was reported in the last issue OF
Trench and Camp, the band went tto
Miltonvale where a very enthus1ast1c
audience packed the Community hall
to listen to one of the best concerts
given on the entire trip.
Autoing fifty miles to sauna, tne
band continued its journey westward
to Russell. where two concerts were
played to as many packed houses
The city of Wilson proved TO be one
of the Invest little cities included in the
itinerary. The Commercial club OF
Wilson induced Lieutenant Reese to
unload the band and put on a con-
cert between trains. 1t was Booster
and Trade Day in the city and great
number of people from the surround
ing towns and communities were there
to hear the free outdoor concert from
II to ~ They pulled a real recep-
ton for the boys; the high school was
there in force and their able cheer
leader kept the young pep at high
gear all the time. At a noon banquet
given by the commercial club. the
Girls Glee club sang a number of ex-
ceIlent selections and an hour later
was at the depot to give them sing
ing send-off.
At Ellsworth 5000 people heard the
band in two concerts. Thursday saw
the band in Great Bend, where it was
one of the main attractions at the ded-
ication of Barton eountys new quar-
r-million dollar courthouse. Gov
ernor Capper was there, and to say
that he was delighted with his boys
is not to do full justice to this popu-
lar Kansan- Hoisington. also of Bar
ton county, was the next to hear the
band, and despite the inclemency of
the weather turned out two packed
houses. Pratt, under the auspices OF
the Red Cross, entertained the band
Saturday and were entertained by an
outdoor concert played from the We
randa of the courthouse.

You cannot lose it,
You can't forsake it.
Tho you never use it,
1t still hangs to you
Wherever you go
What is 1.-THE Popcho.
It's always falling. slippy slidy,
Makes a man feel most untidy.
When you're marching in a line,
And you think you're doing fine.
Keeping step unto the Hip;
Then the Poncho starts to slip,
Slip and slide and fall and swerve,
Gets upon your mind and nerve.
Then you growl and argue and frown,
Shove it up, but it stili slips down

SAGE AND SULPHUR
 DARKENS GRAY HAIR
Brush this through faded, lfeless locks and they become dark,
 olossy, youthful

Hair that loses it color and lustre, or when it fades, turns gray, dull and up mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made us 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 a beautiful dark shade of hair which is so attrac- tive, use only this time recipe.
 Nowadays we get this famous mix ture by asking at any drug store for, a 50 cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" which darkens the sair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody can possibly tell it has been applied. Besides. it takes off dand- ruff, stops scalp itching and falling hair. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small stand at time. By morning the gray hair disappears; but what delights the ladies with Wyeths Sage and Sulphur is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it and gives it an appearance of abund- ance.-Adv... |. -.
