nurse to the surgeon. "When he woke
up after the anesthetic and missed his
arm, he said quietly: They didn't get
both, did they? I've one still left for
the service of my country"
"Yes," nodded the surgeon, "the man
is made of hero stuff all through. He
rooted eighteen of the foe out of a
trench and marched them into camp
all alone, that shattered arm hanging
useless at his side"
Sergeant Dexter Marsh has some
thing on his mind,' said the nurse. He
keeps his eyes fixed with faraway
look, as if some haunting sorrow made
him forget everything else"
"Tell him the general is coming to
see him." advised the surgeon.

thanks when the nurse impaired the

COMB SAGE TEA IN
 LFELESS GRAY HAIR
Look young: Common garden Sage and Sulphur darken so naturally
 nobody can tell

Grandmother kept her hair beauti- fully darkened, glossy and abundant with A brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur Whenever her hair fell out or took on that dull, faded or streaked appear ance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. By asking at any drug store for ''Wyetn's Sage and Sulphur Compound" you will get a large bottle of this old-time recipe, ready to use, for about 50 cents. This simple mixture can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair and is splendid for dandruff, dry. itchy scalp and falling hair.
 A well-known downtown druggist says everybody uses Wyeths Sage and Sulphur. because it darkens so nat urally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied-it's so easy 10 use, too. You simply dampen a comb or soft brush and draw it through your hair, taking one strand at time. By morning the gray hair disappears: after another application or two. it is restored to its natural color and looks glossy soft and abun- dant Adv

MANY LENDERS
 CHIEF FACTOR
 LOAN SUCCESS

The following is taken from a Lib- erty Loan bulletin just issued by the general executive board:
 Aside from the primary considera- tion of obtaining the amount of sub- scriptions necessary to make the loan a success, the keynote of the third campaign has been made the greatest possible number of subscriptions. In tnlS respect the best figures recorded at Headquarters are from northern California, Stanislaus county, popula, ton 1910, 22,522, having reported f,103 subscriptions to date
 T. W. Hellman. Jr., chairman of the general finance committee of the twelfth district, on his return from Washington today. in a local inter view said in part: The idea is pre- valent all over the east that we of the west are not as awake to the seriousness of the war as We should be. and we must show them that they are wrong by the amount and num- bers of our subscriptions to the third Liberty loan
 "The best way to demonstrate to the country that the west is heart and soul in the war is by obtaining a greater proportion Of Liberty loan subscribers to total population than that obtained in any other section. l lnasmuch as the efficiency of the campaign will be judged largely bv the number of such subscribers. It l is urged that all corporations when entering their own subscriptions coy- erins subscriptions received from en- ployeS, customers or other individuals the number of individual subscrip- tions represented by their covering subscriptions be stated.
 The fiscal agent department os the federal reserve bank will send out circular letter requesting from the banks a summary of their sub l scriptions as entered showing the amounts and denominations of bonds required and number of subscriptions l represented, but the banks cannot. of course. give this information as to i the total number going to make up the amount of their subscription m
 less this information is filed with {; them by subscribing corporations" The population of Maricopa county in 1910 was SASS, and to give ns better per cent than Stanislaus county mentioned above. would re- quire 12.000 individual subscriptions To date we lack several thousand Of reaching this mark. Get busy. Proof of Vests Loyalty Oregon continues to set the pacs i for the twelfth federal reserve dis | trict, having been the first state to 1 win a state honor flag, the first state to officially report every county sub scribing it's quota, and having sub- scriptions actually on file with the federal reserve bank in San Fran cisco amounting to a considerably greater proportion of the states auota than in the case of any other state 1 in the twelfth district.
 ''Therell be few slackers there. "

advertising names of persons refus- ing to buy bonds came to light.
 In the Daily Observer, published at La Grande, the chief town of Union county, there appeared April a full page advertisement with the names of persons not on the third Liberty loan subscription list.
 The largest type in the composing room had been used for some of the names, and underneath, was a resolu- ton calling on patriotic citizens to refrain from business or social in tercourse with them. Sixty names, including all the prominent citizens of the county were signed to the resolution which follows:
 Resolved, that we, the undersigned men assembled, refuse to sell any goods or to buy anything from any slackers, and that we will not allow any such to enter our places ot business

ALEXANDER |S NOT NEEDED LIKE FOOD
Republican A. p. Leased Wire]

ST. PAUL, Neb., April 22.-Uncle Sam's urgent need for greater food production to help win the war was the reason Grover Cleveland Alexander, premier pitches for the Chicago Ma tional league baseball team, was named to 20 in the quota to Camp Funston, Kas., from this town on the morning of April 30.
 Alexander's call to the colors mem bers of the draft board here figured, meant just one more man for work on nearby farms. As a result, the ball player who stood eighteenth in the list of men in Class one, subsequently was placed as the ninth man in a quota of twelve.
 Nine men of the eighteen were in gagged in farm work. The board per- mitted eight of them to remain at their present duties. The other has enlisted in the Polish army.

BOXING AND BAYONETING

Says Benny Leonard, boxing instructor
at Camp Upton, 7th Division:
ITS incredible the way boxing has
taken hold of the men here. They're simply
explaining and illustrating the blows and
positions they hang onto every word and
watch my movements like cat watches a
mouse.
THE results of the instruction are
plainly seen in the bouts the men hold
in their barracks and the camp recreation
buildings, Instead of lowering their heads
fashion which is the style of the novice,
they square off and sail into each other
with heads erect and their guards up just
like real professionals.
I'm bayoneting where the boxing in
struction is particularly valuable because
the principles are so much alike, the re-
suits are even palmer. The men charge
the dummies with more dash than before
and they are sending their blades through
the figures of boughs and burlap with a
force that speaks volumes for the training.
When some of these men come back from
France our champions will have had to
improve nightly in the meantime if they
expect to hold their titles!"
