A Man Who Doe Thines.

One day last week, when returning
from McCracken, we dropped in on
our friend, Robert Start, who just
recently returned from a visit to his
son, James, at Great Lakes Naval
Training Station He was accompan-
led by his wife, children and Miss
Ruth Elmore, of McCracken. James
is certainly well pleased with his sail
or life and is longing for overseas
duty.
Mr. and Mrs. Start were in Chicago
the day the 1. W. W'stried to blow
up the Federal building.
We noticed a familiar figure drill
ing wheat just north of Mr.. Start s
house, and learned that it was our
friend of more than thirty years
standing, Miles Mulroy. Bob Informed
Us that Miles had been assisting him
on the farm since harvest.
When his nephew, James Start, en-
listed, and help being scarce, Miles
deemed it his patriotic duty TO do all
in his power to help increase the
wheat acreage, and Immediately after
harvesting In Ellis county, he left a
comfortable business in Hays and has
been blowing, listing, narrowing, drill
ing, In fact, general farm work This
is what we call doing a mans part in
helping to win the war when one is
too old for military service
Miles was born on a farm IN Wis
consin, grew to manhood on a Rush
county farm, proved up on an Ellis
county homestead, and moved to Hays
several years ago, where he has since
been engaged in business
Our friendship for Miles dates from
the days of prairie dogs, grass hop
pers, drouth and chinch bugs. We
have always found him honest, honor
able, and true to his high standards
of right and to his friends.
Miles has held the Office of repre-
sentative of Ellis county several times
and is candidate for reelection We
were a clerk in one of the sessions of
the legislature while Miles was a
member. Miles always talked and
voted right on all questions, was one
of the party leaders, and was consid-
cred one OF the ablest men IN the
legislature.
Here is q chance for the people of
Ellis county to send to the legislature
a tried and true one hundred per cent
American, and we believe they viii
do it.-LaCrOsse Chieftan.

WITH THE coLoRs IN FRANCE

France, Aug. %, 1918
Dear Mother and Dad:
l was discharged from the hospital
yesterday. Ny leg is very nearly well
now, and | feel fine and I was sure
treated ine too. You can't guess who
I saw down at Chateau. Therry-Bun-
ny Gross. saw him riding a big high
wagon; and when I hollered at him,
he jumped clear off from his wagon,
right on top of me. Maybe I WASH t
glad to see him, as he was the first
boy from Hays that had seen since
/ left home.
1 feel pretty blue tonight, when !
think of my chums up on the line,
and l hate to go back and see the
new faces, for nearly all the boys
have been with all the time are gone
either dead or wounded-but one
thing is certain, they didn't die for
nothing. / am in Paris, and was here
yesterday; and it sure is different
now, from what it was last winter.
was up on the big Worlds Fair Fer
ris Wheel, which is 800 feet high, and
you can see the whole city from there.
I have seen every thing now, that
didn't get to see last winter. The
Louvre, The Pantheon, The Eiffel
Tower, Notre Dame, The New Ameri-
can Church, The Arch De Triumph,
Napoleon's tomb, the Tuileries gar
dens, and a hundred others that are
known all over the world, and I am
staying only about three blocks from
the Opera that is known all over the
world.
Three days later.
Dear Dad: 1 am still IN Paris and
believe me have had a good time and
it is sure some place too.
I am going back to the front at
IL 80 this morning, to have another
ego" at the Boche.
It will seem kind of good to see the
old boys again, If there are amy left.
I haven't got very much to tell
you except that I have seen a lot of
Paris, and l wish I could stay here,
but l don't think the scrap will last
over year longer.
Well, must quit now and go catch
my train
With lots of love from

Hays High School Wa1lops Russell.
In a one sided game Friday on the
Normal grounds, the local highs
cleaned up on the Russell bunch IN
football to the tune of Sc to O. The
game was interesting for the first
three minutes but after Hays made
q touch down In that time, interest
Jagged. The procession became a
rival for that which the Germans are
making over IN France except that
the Hays boys were doing the rum
ming.
The game was called at 4 O'Clock
by Coach Speer of the Normal as
referee. Hays kicked to Russell who
time the home boys crossed their op-
ponents goal line for their first touch
down. Warren Grass kicked goal.
Subsequent plays were a repetition of
the first. Russell was clearly outcfass-
ed and was unable to make their
downs at any stage IN the game. Hays
generally made downs with an ad-
ditional ten yards for good measure.
For the visitors, Opdycke. captain,
made a good showing until he was
injured by a fall Boyd, who played
behind the line. was the star for Rus
sell, making several good but rather
high tackles. The team was not even
" balanced and showed lack of team
work. The visiting boys were also IN

freouencv of taking out time for
wind and slight injuries
The star for the home team was
Warren Grass at end position Grass

forward masses and raced down the
field for big gains time and again
with the speed of q scared jackrabbit.

Hospitality Of Omaha,

An unique letter was received by
Mayor Smith from Chief Red Fox
Skinhushu, Yakima Indian reserva-
ton, Tappenish. Wash. Chief Red
Fox wants to be the guest of the
city on an overland trip from Wash
ington state to Washington, D. C.,
where he has a message to deliver
from his tribe to President Wilson
His letter is as follows:
"My dear honorable mayor: My
cousin, Black Hawk, and myself, are
requested by our tribesmen to make
a trip on our Indian ponies to the
White House to ask the president re
garding our tribes and to ask full
citizenship. We first Americans
want to be like any other Americans
on American soil. We asks if we
can be the guests of your city on
cur arrival. We are asking the
mayors of various cities to welcome
us and put us up over night and our
two horses. 1t may be January first
part or March, 1919. Will you
kindly reply?"

few FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
Well-known local druggist says
everybody is using old-time recipe
of Sage Tea and Sulphur.

Hair that loses it's color and
lustre, or when it fades, turns gray,
dull and lifeless, is caused by a lack
of sulphur in the hair. Our grand
mother made up a 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 beautiful dark
shade of hair which is so attractive,
use only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous
mixture improved by the addition
of other ingredients by asking at
any drug store for a bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" which darkens the hair so
naturally, so evenly, that nobody
can possibly tell it has been ap-
piled. You just dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time. By morning the
gray hair disappears; but what de-
lights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound is that, be-
sides beautifully darkening the hair
after few applications, it also
brings back the gloss and lustre and
gives it an appearance Of abund-
ance.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
to impart color and youthful ap-
pearance to the hair. 1t is not in
tended for the cure, mitigation or
prevention of disease.-Adv.
