M A GOOD EXAMPLE

The first bale of cotton for the
season to be ginned in Harris
county was grown by negro liv-
ing on rented farm near Hous-
ton. The producer of the cotton,
Willie Whiting, worked hard to
make this record. After getting
the bale picked, he hauled it to
the city during the night, arriv-
ing at 2 o'clock in the morning,
for fear some one else would beat
him to the honor of selling the
first bale of Harris county cotton
this year. He was rewarded for
his labor, for in addition to re-
ceiving a good price for his pro-
duct, he was given a premium of
wide bonds are being assured for
$25 by cotton men.
The interest this negro has
shown in his work on the farm is
to be commended. He is the type
Of negro that is a credit to his
race. What the country needs is
producers, not agitators. There
is a place in the South for the ne
gro who takes pride in producing
and the farm offers him his best
opportunity to become economi-

Grandmother kept her hair
beautifully darkened, glossy and
attractive with a brew of Sage
Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her
hair took on that dull, faded or
treaked appearance, this simple
mixture was applied with wonder
full effect. By asking at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" you can get a
large bottle of this old-time recipe
improved by the addition Of other
ingredients, all ready to use at
very little cost. This simple mix
ture can be depended upon to re-
store natural color and beauty to
the hair.
A we'll known downtown drug
gist says everybody uses Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound now
because it darkens so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it
has been applied-it's so easy to
use, too. You simply dampen a
comb or soft brush and draw it
strand at time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears; after an.
other application or two. it is re-
stored to it's natural color and
looks glossy, soft and beautiful.
This preparation is a delightful

TWO STORIES OF ST. GEORGE

with a red cross on his shield, was
riding forth one day to john his
legion when he came to a city the in

to be offered as . sacrifice to appease
the creature and tho princess was
going weeping to her fate when ST.
George spurred his horse forward
and pinned the dragon to the ground
with his lance. This is the picture
one usually sees Of st. George and
it decorates one Of the coins Of Eng

believed to have been Christian
martyr who suffered under Diocle-
tian in the year $50. Old chronicles
state that st. George helped the
English forces II one Of the crusades.
Edward III was tho first to invoke
his aid when at the siege Of Calais

HIGH AND LOW EXPLOSIVES
Modern Gums Employ Both In Their
Work Of Destruction-Best Conn.,
pounds for Blasting.

Illustrating the differences be-
tween low and high explosives, Prof.
j. Young mentions that the low ex-
plosives are substances that burn
regularly in layers until consumed,
the rate being only few centime-
tiers per second. Such materials are
suitable for propellants in guns and
rifles, driving forward the shells
filed with more destructive COM
pounds, and the time of combustion
can be regulated for different lengths
Of gun by varying the size Of grains
or pieces of the explosive. High ex-
plosives detonate at rate ranging
from 5000 to 10000 meters per sec
ond. A wave or vibration set up by
shock or sudden heating, OF both,
runs through the substance, decom-
posing each molecule into its ele-
ments. True defamation takes place
only in definite chemical compounds,
such as nitroglycerin, trinitroto-
luene, and the like, but in porous
mixture with slower burning sub
stance, an almost instantaneous COM
bustion is produced, this rapid ac-
ton being usually called defamation,
These mixtures are of the class
mostly used in blasting. They are
less SCATTERING than pure compounds,
their rate of defamation being some
what less.

in this respect all attendance re-
cords will be broken. Reports
from all parts of the state show
that keen interest and enthusiasm

TOLEDO POLICE
STOP DEBS RIOT
Break Up Mob of 5000 After 1t
Attacks City Memorial
Hall.
ONE ALDERMAN IS ARRESTED
Crowd Storms Building, Breaking
Windows and Doors, Then Parade
Streets Shouting "To He'll With
ayor!"-Debs Not Present.

Toledo, o., April 1.-When they
we're refused admission by city officials
to Memorial hall, city building,
where Eugene V. Debs was scheduled
to speak, 5000 persons stormed the
place, broke windows and doors, and
then paraded the streets crying, ITO
hell with the mayor"
And all the time Debs was in bed in
a Cleveland hotel, too Ill to appear in
public.
A substitute speaker for Debs ap-
peared about 8 80 o'clock, but when he
attempted to make an address in pub
lie he was chased away by policemen.
More than seventy-five men were ar
rested, including Thomas Devine, So
cialist member of the city council.
Charges of melting riot were placed
against them, but after 300 policemen
had succeeded in breaking up the
mob the prisoners were all released
without bail.
Announcement that Debs would not
be permitted to speak was made late
Saturday night, after the Socialists
here had prepared to handle an over
flow crowd. The announcement APP
peared in the morning papers, and was
the first notice the Socialists had that
their meeting could not be held.
When the hour for Debs to speak
arrived there were at least 5000 men
and women congregated about the Will
liam Mckinley monument in Court
house park, across the street from Me-
mortal hall.
A man mounted the base of the
monument. "Well use Memorial hall
this afternoon if we have to wade
through blood to do til" he shouted.
A policeman grabbed him and he was
thrown unceremoniously into patrol
wagon. The man who essayed to speak
next also was arrested.
AS the crowd sensed what was oc-
curing the radicals began to boot
and boo the officers. Clubs were drawn
and the crowd was made to move.
Then came the parade through the
streets and cries of 'Down with the
mayorr' Hang him p "To hell with
the policel' and others of similar
nature.
It was after five o'clock before the
police were able to dispense the crowd.
Fist fights by the dozen occurred on
street corners. Hotel Hobbies were in
vaded by the malcontents. Street cars
were held up and threats of serious
outbreaks were to be heard on every
hand.
Mayor Cornell Schneider, who issued
the order preventing the Debs meet
Ing, in a statement said that hereafter
no meeting would be permitted any
where in the city where it is suspected
a man of radical tendencies will speak.

OVERHAUL THE
LEAGUE ARTICLE.
Major Problems Remain Unde-
cided; important Points Not
Even Discussed.
GUARDSDOCTRINE OF MONROE
American President Said to Be Safe
guarding Famous Policy With
Amendment to Be offered at
the Proper Time.

Paris, March 29.-Though the league
Of nations covenant now has been
completely oyehauled and partly re
cast. three major problems remain I'M
decided which have not even been dis
cussed at the redraftiig Sessions of
the league commission The problems
are:
1. The Monroe doctrine, for which
President Wilson reserved a safe
guarding amendment without actually
offering one.
2. The racial equality clause, which
the japanese still have "up their
sleeves" but which they refrained from
offering at the commission meeting.
8. The French proposal for league
of nations military staff, which would
prepare plans, and which the French
hope, would act, more quickly than the
league itself In the event of another
invasion.
The revised covenant now is in the
hands of a redrafting committee which
will incorporate the adopted changes
in suitable form Thus modified, the
draft will be subject to ratification by
the full commission.
The greatest concession to the Amer
lean Republican opposition is seen in
the insertion Of an absolute clause af-
firming that all members shall have
the right to withdraw from the league
whenever they consider this to serve
their respective national interests.
Here are the main decisions of the
league commission which the redraft-
ing committee will embody in the COW
enant:
1. Women may hold any Office in the
league. The proposal, made by Lord
Robert Cecil, was unanimously and en-
Enthusiastically adopted without discus
sion.
2. Colonel House and Messrs. Or
lando, SHUTS and Maxine were ap-
pointed to select a "capital' for the
league. 1t may be said in parenthesis
that judging from the composition of
this committee Geneva, Switzerland,
has the best chances to become the
seat of the league.
5. IL Will De ueHnlIely SLaIeQ IN the
covenant that no member nation can
be forced to take mandate for one or
more colonies. This was implied by
the original draft, but is now to be
specifically stated.
4. A special group of clauses will be
added referring to labor, commerce,
traffic in war material, white slavery
and drugs explicit directions regard
ing which will be left for future elab-
Grafton.
It is perhaps worth mentioning that
nothing is said about prohibition.
5. Member nations desiring to with
draw must give two years notice. This
is destined to forestall possible wars
arising over the secession of mem
bers.''
