Rambling Around
Political Ranges

Government ownership OF public
utilities is becoming live issue,
so much that Senator Lewis would
put he present congress on record
as iavoring it, having Offered res
olutlon to that effect. The emergen-
cy OF war was ample reason for the
governments taking ovea' all the
great qualities temporarily. and
there was no protest. but now, al
! though the emergency no longer eX-
lists, their successful management by
government agencies has embold-
ened the advocates OF permanent
ownership TO ask for early action on
their program. It is one OF the pre-
dictions OF the politicians that gov
ernment ownership OF public util-
tiles will be the big issue in the 1920
campaign, the democratic party 60
ing on record in support OF it. and
the republicans taking the opposite
stand.
Florida makes the fifteenth state
to ratify the federal prohibition

now ratified the amendment are Ar
iona, Delaware Florida, Georgia,
Kentucky Louisiana, Maryland,
Massachusetts,, Mississippi, Montana,
North Dakota, South Dakota, South
Carolina, Texas, and Virginia,
Kansas women waged most sue

seat in the state Legislature. AS a
result OF the recent election nearly
half OF the county offices will be
filed by women when the changes
come in January.
Governor Horace T. Graham OF
Vermont, who is under indictment
for larceny and embezzlement OF the
states funds refuses to resign and
cannot be impcached as there is no
Vermont law providing for impeach-
ment. The people of Vermont proud
of the fair name of their state, are
in a very uncomfortable frame OF
mind.

GRANDMA USED SAGE
TEA TO DARKEN HAIR
She mixed Sulphur with It to
Restore Color, Gloss,
Youthfulness.

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea with sulphur added, will
turn gray, streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just
a few applications will prove a revela-
ton If your hair is fading, streaked or
gray Mixing the Sage Tea and Sui
phur recipe at home, though, is trou-
blesome. An easier way is to get q
bottle Of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound at any drug store all ready
for use. This is the old-time recipe
improved by the addition of other in
gradients. =
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. By darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,
no one can tell, because it does it so
naturally, so evenly. You just dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time; by morning
all gray hairs have disappeared. and,
after another application or two your
hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy,
soft and luxuriant. a
This preparation is a delightful toilet
requisite and is not intended for the
cure, mitigation or prevention OF dis
ease.

In this age of unrest when individ-

Such a spot / found in the Cora

bled about twenty children of differ

He was resentenced at the last term

were appealed to by citizens of the

One could feel His very presence in

Forest Notes

Most forest fires are due to ignor-
ance carelessness or righteousness.
Lookout men, whose sole business is
to detect and report forest fires, live
on many of the high peaks of Oregon
and Washington during the dry season
and have within their range of vision
most of the timberland of these two
states.
The forest service maintains /, $50
miles of trail in Oregon and 1880
miles in Washington for fire protective
purposes.
The net receipts from the national
forests of Oregon, Washington and
Alaska for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1918, were $633, 700 30 On II for
ests of the district the receipts We're
greater than the costs of administra-
ton. In amount of receipts from all
sources, the Whitman national forest
led the district with S97 ,66S 81. The
Tongass with $50, 6l9. "A and the Crater
with $S5, 025. 81 stood second and third
respectively
According to foresters, most of the
annual loss from forest fires might be
prevented by a little care on the part
of everyone using fire in the woods.
Be sure your fire is out before you
leave, is good advice and not hard to
take
American soldiers engaged in the
French forests write, There have
been no fires in these forests for
years. "
The hazel hoe is considered by forest
fire fighters as the best single tool for
digging fire line or trench. 1t is a
short broad bladed hoe suitable for
cutting weeds and small brush as well
as digging in the soil.
