Almost everyone knows that Sage

ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streak

to get this mixture was to make it at
home, which is mussy and trouble
some.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" You will get a
large bottle Of this old-time recipe
improved by the addition OF other In
gradients, at very little cost. Every
body uses this preparation now. be
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as 1t does it
so naturally and evenly. You dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time; by, morn
ing the gray hair disappears. and aft
er another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
and glossy and you look years young

BURLINGTON, Iowa, June IA
The Commercial Exchange of Burling-
ton has resolved to fight any change
in the routing of the Burlington way.
This was the consensus Of opinion at
the meeting Of the exchange at the
Hotel Burlington when certain dis
closures were made by w. H. Hcl-
steen, one of the organizers of the
road.
Mr.. Holsseen explained that the
Burlington way extends now from ST.
Paul to New Orleans, despite the
fact that the original trail was from
Burlington to Beardstown.
A resolution was adopted that the
board of directors be prepared to
fight any move to take the Burning
ton way from this city and to make
an effort to see that Burlington and
all Iowa towns along the route are
represented at meeting to be held
In Rock Island in September.

Unexpected Flood in District Causes
Loss Of Half Million Dollars

Crops.

QUINCY, H., June 14.--Half mil
lion dollars was buried under muddy
waters when, at an entirely unexpect-
ed place, at an unexpected moment.
the Indian Grave levee broke at the
new pumping station at Bear Creek.
About 5000 acres of the -Inest
wheat and corn that has ever been
seen in the district IS entirely lost
Much of the corn promised to make
100 bushels to the acre, and twenty
fve to thirty bushels per acre was
a conservative estimate on most Of
the wheat. About 5000 acres is thus
far Inundated, but of this about 5000
acres were in cultivation. There are
about 20 900 acres in the district, but
it is divided by the levees parelleling
Rock Creek, and if these cross levees
hold only the 5000 acres will be inun-
dated
Part of the new pumping station
went out with the first rush of the
flood as it tore through the levee.

HENRY FORD
FOR SENATOR
Has Agreed to be Candidate on Non
Partisan Ticket, at Request
Of President
Wilson,

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service]
WASHINGTON, June 14.--Henry
Ford's decision to run for the United
States senate at the request of Presi-
dent Wilson, has created highly in
teresting political situation in con-
gress.
Ford, classed in the past as a re-
publican. will run on n6n-partisan
ticket. already endorsed by the demo.
Gratis of Michigan and his policy will
be to support the president.
Republican leaders here say that
Ford, if elected, probably will take
his seat on the republican side of
the upper house, while voting with
the democratic side. His liberal pol
icies, particularly in industrial queg-
tons will inject an element into the
senate that promises to develop new
and interesting debates. Ford is
aligned strongly with the president
on postwar reconstruction ideas.
Some hint of his program is found in
his official statement announcing his
acceptance of the presidents urge to
be a candidate when he said:
"There are exceptional opportun-
tiles for service to our people during
present and coming reimbursement
President Wilson recently declared
that after the war those who have
battled abroad will be impatient OF
the campaign slogans of both parties
and will demand of the leaders defin-
lite ideals that will give the working
man a definite place in the sun This
has also been Ford's industry policy
for some years. His appearance in
the senate therefore is looked upon
by some here as forecasting perhaps
the foundation for new alignment
in politics.
Surprise to Friends.
DETROIT, Mich, June 14.-Henry
Ford's announcement for the United
States senatorsfip in Washington
last night came as big surprise to
his associates here While politicians
have been after Ford for some weeks
past to get into the senatorial race.
it was thought he would continue
to remain away from politics. Ford's
decision was the result of action OF
democratic state conference in Lans-
ing Wednesday in extending his name
to the republicans as candidate
upon whom to combine. Judge VIM.
F. Connolly, who headed the move
ment, had just returned from Wash
ington and it is believed it was made
at the request of government leaders.
While republicans have taken no
action on the democratic offer, Ford
is regarded as sure winner.

something must be supplied. One OF
the best feeds at this particular time
is shelled corn. 1t should be in a SELF
feeder in a pen where the pigs can go
TO it and will not be bothered by any
of the rest of the hogs. This can be
arranged by a creep just large enough
to admit the pigs handily. Don't forget
that these little fellows grow quite
rapidly and from time to time the
creep must be made larger. After the
pigs are 4 or 5 weeks old. especially II
they do not have good grass pasture
the addition OF some shorts, tankage,
or oil meal is advisable. Nothing
would be better, however, than skim
milk. The s%elf-feeder in which IS
kept corr and other feeds should be
maintained right along up until wean-
ing time, and after that If the pig is
Intended for market purposes. Pigs
to be used for breeding purposes may
be kept on a self-feeder all the time
with splendid results, but in some
cases they get too fat and logy and do
not take the proper exercise. The most
profitable pig is the n that never
quits growing from narrowing tins
until he is driven over the scales.

PRODUCTION OF LIVE STOCK
Good Permanent Pastures, Leguminous
4. Crops, SiIo and Purebreds
i,F Are Essential.

Frorn the United States Department OF
Agriculture.)
Where live stock is a factor on the
farm, make every field hog-tight and
sheep-tight; have thoroughly good per-
manent pastures; grow leguminous
crops; build a silo and keep only pure
bred males. These five things are ab-
solutely essential in the economical
production of live stock. Of course,
this program calls for some labor ana
expense, but the permanent condition
of prosperity in the sections devoted
to live stock production is proof OF the
good profit derived therefrom.
