News Budget last week, comes up
just as Robert S. Coleman. chief ex-

Otherwise they are invalid according

LAD|ESI SECRET To
DARKEN GRAY HAIR
Bring Back its Color and Lustre
with Grandma's Sage
Tea Recipe.

Common garden sage brewed into
heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and lux
uriant Mixing the Sage Tea and Sui
phur recipe at home, though, is
troublesome. An easier way is to get
the ready-to use preparation improved
by the addition of other ingredients
a large bottle, at little cost at drug
stores. known as "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" thus avoiding
lot of muss.
While gray, faded hair is not sinful,
we all desire to retain our youthful
appearance and attractiveness. by
darkening your hair with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one
can tell, because it does it so natural
ly, so evenly. You just dampen q
sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at time; by morning
all gray hairs have disappeared. After
another application or two your hair
becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft
and luxuriant and you appear years
younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound is a delightful toilet requi-
site. 1t is not intended for the cure,
migitation or prevention Of disease,

very valuable man on the News-Bud-
get, one of the best evidences of which
is the Journal publishers attitude.
And. while Mr.. BOlles is the highest
paid news writer ever employed on a
Rusk county paper. we know that the
tramp reporter can at moments
notice take any one of several much
higher paid positions on large dailies
where. however. the work would no
doubt be more strenuous.
We only hope that Mr.. Bolles will
like Ladysmith well enough to make
that his permanent home, where
he cannot help but be a positive force in
its development Knowing him as we
do, acquainted as we are with his ante
cedants, we are confident that the
tramp reporter will be as we'll liked
outside the office as he is within.

EITHER BE sHOT OR A FUGI-

Carl Lubnecht, the German Social
ist, has given to the world some good
advice for the American who has been
trying to stand as an advocate for
peace and to hinder all the war prep
arations as much as possible This is
food for the pacifist, too, who says he
does not care which side wins $50 long
as this terrible war is ended Herr
Iubnecht says:
In the turmoil of this world
war, all compromising breaks
down miserably. Whoever tries
to move between warning armies
will be shot from both sides-um-
less he saves his life by joining one
party or the other, when, how :
ever, he will be received, not as a
hero, but as a fugitive"
There is some considerable food for
deep thought on the part of our Wis
consin pacifistS and Socialists in this
Madein- expression of opinion.

THE TRAMP REPORTER"

THE Cur
"Cuttlefish'
THE Reporter.
Tramp Reporter"
THE Man Who Invented Newspa-
pers.''
THE Nondescript Reporter
THE REPORTER"
The above are a few recent express
siOns of fraternal love, to save moth
ing of such minor testimonials of af-
fecting as you lied, taken from Judge
Maloney's Rusk County Journal, the
paper that naively declares it doesn't
believe in bandying epithets.
Inasmuch as the above expressions
have been used rather indiscriminately
by Judge Maloney in attempted replies
Usher of this paper and our city edi-
tor. Stephen BOlles, we have been at
some loss as to the proper apportion-
ment of the hOnOrS.
Just where Judge Maloney gets the
idea that the News-Budget employs
tramp reporters we cannot say; per-
haps where he gets most of his ideas.
The publisher of the News-Budget
has worked all the time with the idea
of giving Ladysmith progressively
better paper. For that reason the
News Budget installed the first limo
type in Rusk county, and, last sum-
mer. the first multiple-magaZine GEM
posing machine in the county, and in
cidentally one of the latest, most versa
tile and expensive composing machines
built by the AIergenthaler company.
If the News-Rudget was inclined to
employ tramp reporters, the same in
clinatiOn of mind would have led to the
selection, no doubt, of a cheap, second
hand linotype such as some papers use.
With the installation of the new ma
chine giving our mechanical depart
ment better facilities for turning out
first-class newspaper, securing the SER
vices of the best possible news and adj
vertisement writer, even at some
ter cover the news of the city and
vicinity and also to give our advertis-
ers better service, was natural
sequence. especially as the growth Of
the city and our business made it inn
possible for one man to properly take
care of the details of business manage
ment and gather all the news that
paper here should have.
Our readers can judge whether, in
securing the services Of Mr. Stephen
Bolles. we have been able to accom-
plish the result desired IT is very
evident that the Journal has taken no.
tice. Mr.. Bolles came here with no ac-
quaintance with. hence no prejudice
against Judge Maloney, and proceeded
to dig up all the news he possibly
could, without malice or unprofessional
attitude toward our contemporary.
Very shortly thereafter. our news
beats" became so regular and numer-
Gus that the Journal varied its usual
nagging at the News-Budget, by taking
gratuitous slams at our reporter
While the reporter has enjoyed
the amenities that followed and has
ignored the personal insults directed
only at him, the persistence of thel
campaign OF unwarranted yillification
has called for some notice on our part,
even over Mr. Bolles' protest.
With experience on many publica-
lions Of national prominence, it is not
surprising that Mr.. Bolles has proven

am at now. I have seen as many
as 10 air battles in one day. Once
in awhile Fritz sends US a big one
just to say good morning. We had
our Christmas dinner today, March
81. We spent Christmas day at
sea. I am all dressed up today
for Easter. I have on a tin hat,
a pair of rubber boots and a week
old beard. I also have a gas mask
hanging on one shoulder where it
is handy. We all got sweaters and
knit helmets from the Red Cross
before we left the T. S. The he'll
met, I appreciate the most of all
on account of darn good reason.
I have had my hair all shaved
off"
