 During the month of January Deputy United States Collector of Internal Rev enue W. P. Hampton, assisted by Depu- ty Collector L. NJ. Ellison, captured and destroyed 36 wild cat distilieries and in doing so poured out Il, ,2S0 gallons of beer This would have made 975 gallons of whisky, which would have brought sl1 zoo to the owners of the stills if sold at the rate of sl2 per gallon. In addition to the destruction of the above amount of beer more than 150 gallons of white light hing" was also poured out by these two men.
 Not being satisfied with being uninvited guests at these "still'' parties, these of ficers decided to become automobilsts and during the month seized four auto mobiles transporting whisky on which the tax had not been paid. These cars are valued at S1SO0.
 It can readily be seen that not only the days of walking in and putting your foot on the rail while you slipped from a glass of bottled in bond, a cocketail or a bottle of Budweizer are but mem ories, but the cherished hope of a SUD- ply of wild cat is also about to go aglimmering.

 Simple Home Made Remedy

Mrs. l.. H. Boots, we'll known resi- dent of Buchanan county, la. who darkened her gray hair by simple home made remedy, made the following statement:
 Any lady or gentleman can darken their gray or faded hair. and make it soft and glossy with this simple rem edy, which they can mix at home: To half pint of water add l ounce of bay rum, one small box of Barbo Compound and 14 ounce of glycerine. These in- gradients can be purchased at any drug store at very little cost. Apply to the hair every other day until the gray hair is darkened sufficiently. This is not q dye, it does not color the most delicate scalp; is not sticky or greasy and does not rub off. It will make d gray haired person look 10 to 20 years yOunger"

The other evening she went to

wrote the stories which brought the
money for our organ. Is with us to-
night and I would like for her to come
up In front so that all of us may see
her and shake her hand"
Grandfather saw his grandchild ad-
vance to the front of the church and
also saw tie people begin shaking her
hand. lie had not heard n word the
minister had said, but still he had the
memory of camp meeting days TO in

One by one the great sluggers who

One.time Brave and Cardinal veteran
continues to be the vital factor he Is
toaay In the Dodger drive.
When Wilbert Robinson, desperate
ly I'm need of n seasoned first baseman,
plucked Honey from off the soapy
chutes that led to the minors, there
were many who feared Wilbert had
made a mistake, that Honey never
would come through and that 1t would
be many n day before Brooklyn would
unearth first baseman who could ap-
proach the veteran Daubert.
Ask any fan today, however, what
he thinks of Honey and undoubtedly
he would tell you that the big Pole
had filed Daubert's shoes more efii-
GENTLY; that, In fact, he would prefer
tn have Honey on the Dodgers instead
of Daubert, because Honey still Is ut

the freak delivery over n period OF
many years in the big show.
Jack Warhop. who used to sling
for the Yanks; Rhlnes of the old
Cincy Reds, and McGinnity of Giant
fame were pitchers who resOrted to
the underhand method of hurting q
baseball, and though there have been
II number Of pitchers who have tried
that style of twirling, the four men,
toned here rank as the peers of their
class.
Mays graduated to the Red Sox in
1915, coming up from the Providence
club. and right Off the reel he proved
n winner, winning "a games and los
ing but eight In his first season. His
delivery Is puzzle to American league
batters. and unless we miss our guess
he is going to be one of Ed Barrows'
best bets on the mound this season.
Mays has n fast ball, regardless Of
the fact that to the fan In the grand
stand II may look more like slow
one. His best ball Is known among
the members Of the Red Sox as the
screw ball, which is n new one. It
is so called because II Is alleged to
twist as do the threads of screw.
1t twirls sideways In coming up to the
batter, and when Ii is working good
IT breaks In toward the right-handed
hitters rather than away from them.

Power From Ocean Tides.

So far such little power as has been
distracted from ocean tides has been
insignificant. The rise and fall of the
tides Is not very great, even though IL
does amount to 20 feet In some places,
ana hence II any considerable power
is TO be obtained basins of large area
must be used.
BY damming the bay at Mont st.
Michel In France, where the tide rises
about ~ feet, IL Is estimated that
enough power may be obtained to op-
crate half of the industries of France.
A French engineer with vast powers
OF imagination has conceived the idea
of building bikes across the channel
and across the Thames estuary to
form two large tidal basins which may
be used alternately to furnish con-
tinuOus supply of power.

without friends died the other day. At

to make an address. Volunteers were
asked for, and when, after few min

and said:

DiSLIKES 16-PLAYER LIMIT
On Account of Numerous Injuries to
Men on His Team Manager Herr
Wants an Increase.

Eddie Herr of the Salt Lake Bees Is
one manager who absolutely does not
believe in the 16-player limit. Eddie
has had several crlpples on his team
during the past few weeks, and has
been handicapped In that respect so
badly that he is overanxious TO see an
increase In the player limit. At the
present time the Bees are in n rather
crippled condition, and Eddie claims
that, with the great Attendance going
on, there must be real playing as
return to the fans for their generosity
In turning out to the games. Eddie
says that the leagne Is drawing big
enough crowds to lift the ban.
