"The Only Road" is fascinating
photodrama of Southern California:

She and Bob become interested in each
other, which does not suit the plans OF
Ramon Lupo, a scheming lawyer. who
knows that the girl is the heiress to a

ARKANSAS WOMEN TO
BECOME RAILROADERS

The new school OF instructions for
women to be employed by the Mis-
souri, Pacific railroad, as announced
by ]. w. Dean. member of the council
and general superintendent of the
railroad, is the first of what will
probably have to be many such
schools ito fit women to replace men
called to the service. There will be
rs or 80 pupils in the school as a
beginning, and women will be taken
from it to fill positions as clerks in
the yards and offices as vacancies
occur after at least one month of in
struction.
II expect the school to open next
week. said Mr. Dean. "A railroad
man will be the teacher AS fast as
pupils fill vacancies more win be
admitted to the classes. Just now
all we have need for is clerks, but
If the draft makes further inroads
into our force we may have to use
women in other branches of service"

GRANDMA NEVER LET
HER HAIR GET GRAY
She Kept Her Locks Dark and
Glossy, with Sage Tea
and Sulphur.

When you darken your hair with Sage
Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell, be-
cause it's done so naturally, so evenly.
Preparing this mixture though, at home
is mussy and troublesome. For SO cents
you can buy at any drug store the ready
to-use preparation, improved by the add
ton of other ingredients, called "Wyeths
Sage and Sulphur Compound" You just
dampen sponge or soft brush with 10
and draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time. BY morning
all gray hair disappears, and. after an
other application or two, your hair be-
comes beautifully darkened, glossy and
luxuriant.
Gray, faded hair, though no disgrace,
is sign of old age, and as we all de-
sire a youthful and attractive appear
anee, get busy at once with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound and look years
younger. This ready-to-use preparation
is delightful toilet requisite and not

stock raising is becoming more and

territory south of Mason and Dixon's

Regarding diversification of crops
in the south, the review says:
THE production of peanuts from
Virginia along the Atlantic coast to
southern Georgia and across into
Oklahoma and Texas is becoming
matter of great import the product

voted to turn the amount of SIS over
to the Red Cross, that being the es-

day. Clerk Naylor presented the
check next day to the local Chapter
