true, thinking that the big jam which
has been occurring every Saturday
was brought about by fight, o.
something, but the greater part Oh
the crowd were the we'll pleased Gus
toners of Col. S. J. Link, The l.. ".
White Company and other nearby
dealers and new subscribers to the
Press and Banner.
Always bad enough, matters have
grown ten times worse since Smiling
John Gambrell has taken the furni-
ture business of Col. Link in hand,
and has been making things look ar
tistic about the furniture window of
the well-known and greatly trusted
dealer in house plumber. Smiling
John is on the Job from early morn
ing until the whistle blows for six
o'clock, when he goes home a tired
man caused by handling the cheapest
but best furniture sold anywhere
around these parts.
A petition, therefore, is being cir
culated asking for traffic cop to
show the crowd how to get in, and
then get out, where the bargains are
in bloom. It is suggested to us by
Col. Link himself that Allie Smith
or: Dale Barksdale, who some years
ago were in the absorbing business,
and threatened to take over the Press
and Banner Block king, might find
time on Saturday afternoons to do q
little coping for the City Council if
the regular guardians of'the law: are
too busy to give the matter attention.
''No doubt" be says, "these gentle
men. would, feel: amply repaid by
simply viewing the great crowds of
handsome men and beautiful and
stylishly dressed women-the custom
ers who frequent this end of the
city. =: However that may be, the cop
is needed, and the petition will go in.

reinstatement in citizenship. His
counsel, in arguing the matter clai-
med that Brussel did not have fair
trial, as his attorney at the time was
not familiar with Federal court pro-
cedure. After imposition of sentence
the Lutheran Synod suspended Bus
sePs license to preach.
Brussel was born in Germany,
came to this country in 1919 after
completing, his theological education,
went to India in 1910, returned to
the United States in 1911,~ visited
Germany in May, 1914 and got back
to this country on the last German
liner to run the British blockade.
He was made citizen in 1916.

Just close your eyes and hold a

that ungainly, sagging cable swing

Bank corner to the Nation;.i
Bank building, above which is the
telephone Office. 1t is for. all the
world like the washline of some

in front of the National bank
building is pole, draped with
tangle of wires and cables, that
raises its unsightly length to tie sec.

the entry of the wires in a simple
and primitive manner through the
window. Already workmen are re-

THE RED CROSS ROLL.

We have no doubt that Alb
beville County will answer the
Third Roll Call of the Red
Cross heartily, generously. The
roll call was scheduled to be-
gin Yesterday and will con-
tinue until November a..
Plenty of time and more has
been set aside for the cam
paign, but citizens of this
county should not avail them
selves Of the time limit. The
county should put the roll call
across by Saturday of this
week.
The call is for membership
at one dollar per annum. we
don't believe that a single man
in Abbeville County who is ap-
preached will refuse to give
one dollar to this cause. We
don't believe there is that kind
of man in the county.
But do not wait to be called
upon. Hunt up the Red Cross
workers and pay your dollar.
# YOU can't find anyone to pay,
write, enclosing one dollar, to
Red Cross headquarters, Alb
bcville, and your name will be
enrolled. Do not lose an op-
porIunity to join the glorious
organization.

RUSS LEADERS
 FEEL ENTENTE
 MISUNDERSTOOD

Vienna, May 15.-(Correspondence of The Associated Press)-PoliticaI and military leaders of Russian or Greater Ukraine feel that they are not understood by the Allied govern ments CT the people of the Allied countries.
 "It is suspected by the Allies that we will soon join with Russia" said Premier Ostapincho in a talk with The Associated Press correspondent at Proskurov. This we will never do," he continued. We have got sense enough to understand that the Russians including the Tolstoys and all others are fools. Nothing good politically or socially ever came out of Russia or ever will. The Bolshe- wiki are fools too, whereas we are more European.
 Speaking along similar lines War Minister Schapoval, with whom the correspondent travelled for some time, said:
 Nobody knows anything about us nor seems to care. Please tell the people that we ara just like other people who live in the West. Tell the Americans that in them lie our hopes to found & new, prosperous and free nation."
 Colonel Stefaniev. who hanged sev- eraI Bolsheviki at Tarnopol, told the Associated Press correspondent that he had fought In the Ukraine for years and was willing to fight for the rest of his life to obtain independencc for his country.
 "we have been depicted as Bolshe- wiki and as anything you like to call us," he said. But we are simple country people who are determined to make our way in the world If the world refuses us liberty now it will have to give 1t to us later"
 Premier Ostapincho painted in glowing terms the present wealth of the country which abounds in coal, iron and agricultural productions but needs the productions of factories.
 ''We are able to buy more and to export more than the whole Russian Empire" he said.

C0MB SAGE TEA

 LuStre at Once.

Common garden sage brewed into a 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 improv- ed by the addition of other ingred- ients a large bottle. at little cost, at drug stores, known as "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" thus avoid ing a lot of muss.
 While gray, faded hair is not sinful. we all desire to retain our youthful apelrance and attractiveness By darkening your hair with Wyeth's g Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one can tell, because it does it so natural ly, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning all gray hairs have disaI peared. After another application or two your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant and you appear years younger.-AdY.

AHfBER'S ORIGIN ON
 IITHUANIA'S SHORES

The Eastern Baltic shore is the on- ly country in the world where the col lecting, digging and manufacture of amber is practical industry. The amber is found in the so-caI1ed blue earth" layers of, the tertiary period (the layers are from two to three and a half feet thick), not only on the beach of the Baltic Sea, but also in the Lithuanian interior. Even before the time of Herodotus, as shown by the excavations of Greece, Italy and Egypt, the Baltic amber was known to the ancient world. Today the prod ucts of amber such as necklaces, but tons, buckles, cigarette holders, etc. displayed in the shop windows of the local jewelry stores, come from Lithuania's soil.

 well: has he any further proof?"
 "Yes; he says he was not in your profession. He shows a place like a bank, swing doors, large hall, books Not a bank, think. Not a, lawyers 8 office. but has to do with law-the books have. It is by the side of a great building. He says he was there. Now he smiles. He knows you know"
 (Rupert worked at Butterworth & Co.'S the law publishers, in Bell-yard, w. C.. adjoining the Law Courts, in the Strand.)
 Would you kindly describe the spirit you seer" I asked.
 He is above the average height. Looks 9 or 23. Very slight beard. Skin clean and bronzed. He wishes me to point out to you that he al- ways had a. job to make his hair lie flat But he has a fine head. He laughs. What is he laughing at?''
 (Every detail correct, and the final touch more than convincing. I enter tained Dr. Clifford at Chesham on one occasion, who placed Rupert's head between his hands and said, You have fine head, my boy" Ru- pert always laughed when I remind ed him of this.)

 "Yes; he is fine speaker. He shows me himself making a speech, and again he laughs"
 (This was wonderful indeed! laughed heartily. The only speech my son ever delivered was at an en- tertainment at the Chesham United Free Church. The building was crowded. My seat was placed in front of the pulpit. To my utter as tonishment, Rupert was called upon to give a speech! I trembled for him. There was no need. It proved to be a carefully prepared reading, to en- able him to mimic his fathers idio- syncrasies and many weaknesses in the pulpit The audience screamed and roled about with delight. It was a masterpiece of mimicry at my ex- pense.)
