SUPERIOR SOUNDS THE
KEY NOTE TOR ALL THE DE-
PARTN1ENTS OF THE ORDER.

Concluding the preliminary excr-
ciscs. ID. G. Worthy Superior J. b.
Lawrence in n very forceful and elo-
qucnt manner delivered his annual
address in which he struck the key
note of the refrain which rung out
from every department Of the organi-
Zation. He expressed his delight at
seeing such Il large number of dele
gates from the subordinate tabernacles
He stated that Notwithstanding the
financial strain that during this year
fell upon fraternal and beneficial
organizations such as ours, that our
organization is still fully able to
protect the interest of every member
on our roll: that in our office there
is not single unpaid death claim
that heretofore we have done but lit
tie advertising in the newspapers,
but have been content to let our works
speak louder than words. That by
this means the people had seen the
merits Of our order and found their
way into our tents; that their has
been no complaints sent up from any
section of our jurisdiction but
through the entire brotherhood har-
mony and peace prevail; that the moro
new members in his opinion was the
need of the hour. The address was
received with rapturous applause.

DETROIT, Shirley and Ed
ma Luikart and the mother whose
hand nearly sent them to death were
reunited the other day. The two chill
dren were taken by their father to
the sanitarium at Ionia, to which a
sanity commission recently commit
ed Mrs. Luikart.
Emotion held back all but two
words.
"My babies? she exclaimed.
About her knees they wrapped
themselves. She tried to raise them
both to her heart, but her strength
was not equal to her desire.
Roy Luikart, whose faith in face
of desperate odds won the admiration
of a nation, sat silently during the
meeting. He said nothing until she
broke the silence.

U. S. DEAD TO REST
IN FRANCE TWO YEARS
$4,000 Bodies of American Soldiers
Must Remain as They Are Until
France Exhumes Her Own.

PARIS The $4,000 American
dead in France must be left in the
graves they now occupy until the
French are ready to exhume their
own dead, which it is hoped will be
before January L, 1922.
The foreign office had promised
to consider the latest request of the
American government for the return
of its fallen soldiers, but later the
following official announcement was
made:
cit has been definitely decided that
the allies who fell together for the
same cause should remain together
in death until circumstances permit
of the returning of the bodies to the
families for whom they sacrificed
themselves"
The proposed law specifies a delay
in exhumation of three years from
the PRONUNCIATION of the law.

SAGE TEA DARKENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't Stay Gray! Here's an
Old-time Recipe that Any
body can Apply.

The use Of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to it's natural
color dates back to grandmother's
time. She used it to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and attrac-
tive. Whenever her hair took on that
dull, faded or streaked appearance,
this simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for bottle of "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you
will get this famous old preparation,
improved by the addition of other in
gradients, which can be depended up
on to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. By morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, it becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire a more youthful
appearance. It is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention Of
disease.

81 A PAIR INCREASE
IN SHOES INDICATED
An Advance of Three Dollars Over
the Present Delivery Price Charg-
ed in Boston, Mass.

Despite Investigations
of the shoe industry by federal and
state governments, and despite ear
lier promises of leading manufacture
ers that the upper level in shoe prices
had been reached, indications are that
there will be further increases in
prices next year. Eastern manufac-
turers are taking orders today at So
over and above the price for which
they have just made deliveries, which
sets that advance as a base for the
spring market, and the stock for next
fall is being made at SIS to ST per
pair higher than present figures. The
general public will have a practical
demonstration of the new costs next
spring.
High grade shoes will have to carry
the weight of the burden. One of the
shoes selling in Boston last Septem-
Der for $12 a pair is being exhibited
and taken at SIS a pair today, and
the dealers declare that the retail
price of this shoe next September will
be $21 to $22 a pair.
Shutdown Is Suggested.
1t has come to such a pass here that
the dealers do not hesitate to express
the opinion that a complete shut
down of the shoe factories for
while would not be inimical to the
trade, but on the other hand, serve
to stay the upward tendencies of cost.

Takes Babies to See Insane
Mother Who Poisoned Them

"They are quite well, aren't they,
Roy?" she asked.
"The doctor says So" he said.
The privacy of little room at the
sanitarium was theirs for half hour.
Upon his return to Detroit Roy dis
claimed any purpose of ever re-es-
tablishing the former domestic rela-
ton with his wife. He announced,
however, that there was every prob
ability that an effort would be made
to obtain the release of Mrs. Luikart
from the state asylum.
81 can't think of ever living with
her again. l don't believe it would be
safe for the children" he said.
Iona heads had nothing but good
words, he said, for the conduct of the
mother since her confinement. He
was told she had no time since her
arrival shown any irrational symp-
toms. Her joy over the re-entrance
of the children into her life, while
unbounded, was free of any hysteria.

MEXICO IS SEEKING GERMANS;
RICH CONCESSIONS GRANTED
German Capitalists Plan to Take
$4,000 OF Their Countrymen Each
Year Into Mexic Republic.

pproximately 100000 acres of
Mexican land have been granted as
concessions to Germans to encourage
German colonization in Mexico, or
have been sold to German capitalists
who are working on plans to take
200 Germans a year into Mexico.
In addition to the concessions already
made, it is said that negotiations are
under way for an additional 1,000,-
600 acres of land in Mexico along
the Rio Grande, across the river
from Del Rio, Tex, and that vicinity.
The three largest grants thus far
made are to Arthur Won Magnus, the
German charge de- affaires ad inter
i'm in Mexico. His agreement with
Mexico provides for the accommoda-
ton of $4,000 colonists who will ar
rive at the port of Vera Cruz within
year. The Mexican government
guarantees them free transportation
to the Won Magnus grants and "all
facilities.

SALVACINC VESSEL
SUNK $50 YEARS AGO
TREASURE SHIP OF SPAIN, AND
ITS STRONGHOLD is SAID
TO BE FULL OF GOLD.

TOBERMORY, Scotland.-Salvage
operations on the galleon, De Floren-
cia, the treasure ship of SPANS I'm
vincible Armada" sunk off Tobermo-
ry $50 years ago, are beginning to
yield results. These operations were
begun in 1908. Recently several
breech locks of cannon, bits of the
ships hull and other relics have re-
warded the treasure hunters efforts.
The De Florencia was sunk by one
of the MacLeans of Morven, who fired
her powder magazine. If her main
stores are retrieved from the sea the
ship should yield a rich haul for, ac-
cording to contemporary chroniclers,
the ships stronghold was full of
gold, silver plate and jewels, includ-
ing a crown intended for the corona
ton of the Spanish nominees to the
throne of England. By covenant
made shortly after the wreck this
crown, if recovered, goes to the King
of England; but the rest of the treas
ure to the Duke of Argyll.
The explosion which sank the De
Florencia scattered the vessel and her
contents over wide area of sea bed
and that fact has so far baffled those
who have tried throughout the centu-
ries to locate the wreckage and treas
ure.
Invervaray Castle houses a beauti-
fully ornamented bronze ordnance
which was one of the galleon's fifty
two guns. From time to time blunder-
buses, swords, scabbards, doubloons
and pieces of plate have been brought
up.
The bits of oak found, believed to
be bits of the ships hull, are over
laid with a crust of compressed shell
as difficult as concrete to penetrate
and some time may elapse before it
is possible to reach the more import
ant part of the sunken cargo.

CUPID is WAITING ON
RATIFICATION OF TREATY
Sixteen Hundred Americans Prevent
ed From Marrying German Girls.

The delay in ratifying the peace
treaty is keeping 1000 soldiers in the
American army of occupation from
marrying German girls to whom they
are engaged.
The war department has issued or
ders that marriages to "frauleins"
prior to the treaty ratification would
constitute the grave military offense
of relations with the enemy" There
is nothing in the army regulations to
prevent engagement to marry.

SPRING SUITS WILL
COST MEN MUCH MORE
Retail Clothiers Blame High Prices
On Federal Excess-Profts Tax.

BOSTON, Mass.-Retail clothiers,
in accounting for the prevailing high
prices of mems clothing, at a hear
ing today before the commission on
necessaries of life, said that spring
suits would cost even more.
Federal excess profits taxes, pass
ed along by each handler of the
goods, were said to be largely re-
sponsible for the increased prices,
with advancing costs, including that
of labor, as an added factor.
The representatives of a wholesale
and retail clothing house told the
commission that increasing costs
would compel the company to charge
at wholesale next spring $50 for
suits now selling at S27 and $28.
