The record of Captain Alcock and Lieu tenant Brown in flying across the At landc in sixteen hours, and the rec ord of the French Lieutenant Cahal, who flew up to above 33,000 feet may not be capable of much i'm provement in the near future, but there are other great things to be done, and proper incentive is being given to aviators to do big things"

 The work of putting a cement curb around the Green goes steadily on, the weather for this week having beer, most satisfactory for some time. The curb has been comp mpeted arund the lower Green and is well along on both sides of the upper Green. This curo not only sets a definite boundary to the edges of the green and gives 1t more finished appearance than it had before, but it puts an end to the I.-,4rg of automobiles across 1t which has been done by some drivers when it suited their convenience, and it will also end the parking of cars there, which course has been noted at times in the past.

SOUTHERN METHODISTS.

The Methodist Episcopal Church, South, was organized at 8 conference in Louisville "A years ago today, as result of the slavery agitation which had divided the Wesleyans of the Northern and Southern states. The slavery issue had been taken up by the Methodists as early as 1TSO, and al a conference in Baltimore that year it was resolved that all preachers owning slaves must set them free, and must urge laymen to do likewise. It was just 103 years ago. in 1S16, that the Methodist general conference passed an act that no slave-holder could hold any office in the church, except in those states where the law did not permit emancipation. The agitation grew more serious with the passing years, and in 1914 the gen eraI conference was largely occupied with the question. As a result the 13 annual conferences in slave-h old ing states decided that it was "neces- sary to unite in a distinct eccIesiasti- cal connection" In May, 1S45, dele gates from all the Southern states met in Louisville and launched the Methodist Church, South. Although more than half a century has passed since the close of the war, the Meth odists of North and South are still divided, the Southern church having a membership of over 2,000,000.

THE SUCKER CATCH.

The United States has many valua- bIe fisheries But all the salmon and cod and ma2kerel may not equal the great catch of suckers to be made this year.
 The pursuers thereo2 have their eyes firmly fastened or tlIe $2O. OOO 000, 900 which the American people have in vested n Liberty bonds They pro pose to transfer a. large portion of that amount to their own pockets.
 Many Liberty bond, holders who know. little or nothing about invest ments, are being told by smart talk CTS and willy Circularizers, that the Liberty bonds pay too little interest They are informed that they can swap them off for securities sure to pay very large interest and yet have their capital perfectly safe. These golden dreams are enticing @ great many people.
 Those who are not familiar with in vestments should realize two facts:
 1.--There is an organized effort of dishonest promoters to issue securi- ties of e!ther worthless or very doubt ful value, and exchange them for Liberty bonds.
 "A great many visionary and impractical people, who may be hon. 6CL put nave never 1lltLu6 d success anything yet, will try to get hold of this money, to put. into their wildcat SpeculatiOns.
 A vast amount of this Liberty bond money is going to be lost in these schemes and projects. This will be a damage to the country, because every dollar of existing capital is needed for the development of legitimate en- terprises,
 Of course it is not true that all new enterprises are either fraudulent or dan gerous. A great mapSf them are sound, and should have financial backing so that the country can be developed. But in the main these should be left to the bankers and business men accustomed to dealing with this class of propositions. Small | investors with little financial experi-
 ence do well to hang on to their Lib erty bonds

No. 3. Saving for Future Spending.
(Prepared by Savings DlVlsIen, United
 States IreaSuryN

(Prepared by Savings Division, United
 States Treasury.)
 An increase of production over con sumption is essential to provide to the country and to the indiv the capital with which best to solve personal. na- tional and international peace problems Everyone, within his means. should buy to provide for his real necessities and each one must wisely define for himself what are those present necessities. At the same time everyone should make provision for future necessities in the form of savings.
 Those who save by going without things they would like to have but which are not really vital at the moment to their efficiency, which includes real hap piness, should do with the conviction. as a British savings committee put It. that they are asked only to postpone their expenditures and meanwhile to lend their surplus earnings to the nation" By doing, moreover. they will refrain from using up much labor that IS needed for what might be called staple produc- tion-the production of food and every day necessities. It Is clear that if the well-to-do use their purchasing power to the utmost they will compete with their poorer neighhors for a limited supply of the necessities There are probably many who have not gained much higher wages because of the war and who therefore feel more keenly the wartime rise in the prices of their necessities. Some post ponement of expenditure in the non necessary field should be of economic help to those who find living over costly, and If the money saved Is invested in War Savings Stamps or government bonds 1t will both assist the economies of produc- ton and help the government carry out itB plans and show a healthy social con- scIOusness.

NO BOLSHEvISM
 IN UKRAINE

Stanislau, West Ukraine, April 12- tCorrespOndenCe of The Associated Press) )-"There Is no disorder and not bit of BoIshevism among us," Premier Isidore Holubowitz of the Ukraine, told the correspondent of The Associated Press the other day. "Only recently we expelled two agita- tors from Moscow who were disguis- ed as members of the Red Cross. We are very anxious to have an Allied Mission visit us and see the facts with their own eyes.
 Thus far The Associated Press correspondent is the first foreign journalist to be sent among us. We want the Americans to know us as a people who demand their rights and are willing to die for them We are just plain, common people without any aristoCratic frills.
 We believe that President Wilson s ethnology plan is the only possible settlement of all these disputes. We are willing to abc+ by any fair divis- ion by unprejudiced persons after they are properly acquainted with the subject.,'
 Premier HoIubowItz had been dis cussing with The Associated Press correspondent the failure of the AL lied Mission tc compose the differ ences between the Poles and the Uk- rainians over the Lemberg oil region which has been one cause of the fighting over the possession of the city of Lemberg. He pointed out that the Ukrainians declined to ac- cede to the request of the Allied Mis- sion to stop fighting. because they be Ieved the commissioners were dis posed to favor the Poles.
 ''As at present organized there are two Ukraines," resumed the Premier "One of these is composed of 5,O0O,- 900 Ukratnians in Eastern Galicia: the other of upward to 3O.OOO, 900 in the Ukraine prWinces of Old Russia Of which kieV is the capital. On January 3 We proclaimed a union of the two Ukraines and our present re- lation is that of federated states. At the head is a directorate of five of which one. Gen. Petlura. Is our rep resentative; while four other persons represent the greater Ukraine on the directorate.
 'Our relations now are largely a matter of exchange of commodities Greater Ukraine furnishes us with sugar, wheat, leather and money Nominally General Grekow Is at the head of the army, though ours Is sep arately commanded.
 For the moment we are fighting the Poles while the others are fight ing the BOlsheyiki. who are in pos session of Kiev However, there are among our troops many Cossacls from POltava and elsewhere. We are absolutely of the same race as the kiev Ukratnes, speak the same lam guage and have the same customs The only difference is in the matts~ of religion. We are largely Roman Catholics while the people of Greater Ukraine are orthodox However, every religion is free among us"

AN OLD RECIPE
 TO DARKEN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns Gray, Faded Hair Bark
 and Glossy.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly com pounded, brings back the natural coI- or and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which Is mussy and trou- blesome.
 Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for ''yyyeth's Sage and SuI- phur Compound" You will get "a large bottle of this oId-time recipe improved by the addition of other in gredients. 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 1t so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morn Ing the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy and you look years young er.-Adv.
