Sergeant Harmon
on Month Furlough


Sgt ohm Harmon, of the 126th in
fantry, returned to his. home in
Blackfoot Saturday on a thirty da,
furlough, after which he. will return
to Ft. Sheridan for duty. He was
one year in France with the famous
S2d division, the Wisconsin national
guard.
Serving in the Chateau Thierry
battle, the ST. Mihiel drive, the Ar
gonne drive and on the front in Lor-
raine. Sgt. Harmon gained four
citations, and came out with three
wound stripes. He was hit in the
hand by an explosive machine-gun
bullet, wounded in the head and
gassed. 1t is for treatment for the
gas that he returns to Ft. Sheridan.
The wound in his hand he received
two days before the armistice.
The sergeant said that in Chicago
he saw friends of his go to the Sal
walton Army for help. They had
jobs but no clothes suitable to wear.
The Salvation Army gave them each
'65 for clothes and six months to
pay it back in.
ANY soldier said Harmon, "who
coends his money on being dis
charged and then needs help to get
started, can get $65 for clothes from
the Salvation Army"

America First
Says Chairman Hays

Chicago.-(Special. )-C Chairman VIII
Fl. Hays of the Republican National
Committee gave the following state
ment to the press:
II agree with President Wilson that
the treaty will be ratified, but the rati-
fication will be accompanied by reser-
vations absolutely safeguarding the
full independence and freedom Of ac-
tion Of this republic. That is the simple
fact which the President may as well
recognize first as last. At present he
is only pounding against stone wall
of patriotism which has already be-
come impregnable and is daily increas-,
ing in width, strength and height.
"The committee reservations con-.
stitute the irreducible minimum Of the
requirements of substantial majority
Of senator's who cannot be coerced or
cajoled into violating their oaths of
office to hold America first. There is
no partisanship in their position. True,
every Republican senator without ex-
ception stands with the committee, but
because he is an American-not be-
cause he is Republican. I sincerely
believe further that an actual majority
Of the Democratic senators feel the
same way, and evidences multiply
daily that when the time comes a con-
siderable number will vote the same
way.
"It is for the President to determine
when the test shall be made. The
treaty will be reported out this week,
and vote can be had as soon as 1t can
be reached under the rules unless 1t is
delayed by senators acting under the
direction Of the President himself It
is simply now UP to the administration
to decide whether it will or will not
accept at once these essential guaran-
tees of American independence which
will unquestionably be promptly ac-
cepted by the other nations. It is i'm
perative that this matter be settled |
right. 1t ought, by all means, to be set
tied promptly The full responsibility
for any delay will rest upon the Presi-
dent, and him alone"

DR.. Flodquist Has
Gone to Convention

DIR. Flodquist and wife left Sat
urday afternoon for the chiroprac-
tors convention to be held at Twin
Falls on Monday, Tuesday and We'd
nesday. They took with them as
guests of the trip, DR.. Delay and
wife Of Arco, and expect to return to
Blackfoot on Thursday evening,
making the trip both ways in the
Flodquist white-cross car.
DR.. Flodquist says they expect
sixty-two chiropractors at the con-
vention, and he was put on the pro-
gram for a discourse on advertising.
He says he has always been too busy
to give much study to that matter,
and has left it largely to CHARGE and
sample advertising that he came
across. Since they put him on this
address he has been studying the
subject and has concluded that they
did him a favor to compel his atten-
ton to such an important matter that
Is so easily mis-managed.

Five-Year Old
Girl A Heroine

Before any help was summoned
The two-year old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
w. A. Clarke might have been
drowned Thursday evening when he
fell into an irrigation ditch near the
asylum, but for the prompt action
Of Cecilia Greenan; daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Owen Geenan, who jumped
into the stream and rescued the little
body gasping for breath.
Mistress Greenan is herself only
five years old. but she understood
the danger, knew what to do, and did
it. Several other children were stand
ing near unable to decide what to
do.
The incident is related by George
Armstrong, who happened to be near
enough to be attracted by the COM
motion. He said, however, that the
baby would almost certainly have
drowned had it not been for the
Greenan girls quick rescue. Mr..
Armstrong carried the baby to his
parents, and the youngster having
got his breath back. made speedy
recovery from the shock.

Secretary Of Treasury
and Patched Trousers

There is a wholesome sermon FOL
all of us in the report that the
secretary OF the United States
treasury will wear patched trousers
Why not? Some of the very best
men In the country have spent their
happiest and most active days in
patched trousers without the slight
est sense of humiliation.
Who can afford in these days to
point the finger Of scorn at the
shiny suit? 1t may encase a most
generous and useful citizen, or even
q great statesman.
Some people think II they cannot
have the same grade or quality of
everything they have been used to
having that they are suffering dis
tressing hardship.
It isn't so. 1t is mere idea.
Why should we not all surrender a
little more Of cur foolish pride and
waste little less of our scanty cash
in these abnormal days? Why not
make up some of the shrinkage in
our dollar by q shrinkage in our de-
sire for non-essentials?
We must have food, but must 1t be
the highest priced food? Why should
people pay $3.50 to IS for meal at
a hotel, when q substantial meal
with less style can be had for so
cents or $1.00?f
How are we going to bring down
the prices when we are buying every
thing in sight-exhausting the sup
ply both Of our commodities and our
cash?
Let us take the hint Of the sec
retary of the treasury and exchange
some of our watseful pride for few
wholesome patches of common sense.

SAGE TEA DARKENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't stay GrayI Here's an Old
time Recipe that Anybody
can Apply.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded. gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother's
time. She used 1t 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 a 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 70 restore natural color and beauty
to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
saws It darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampeR
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.--Adv.

petted and broken and groomed her
and she had grown so fond of me that
my whistled call would bring her gall

seemed to express my fondness.
"Mr. Purvis" was not an experienced

she liked a Iree head when we took
the road together, and let her have
her way.
Coming back we fell in with another
rider who had been resting at Sewers
little tavern through the heat of the
day. He was a traveller on his way
to Canton and had missed the right
trail and wandered far afeld. He had
big military saddle with bags and
shiny brass trimmings and a pistol in
holster, all of which appealed to my
eye and interest. The FLY was little
tired and the stranger and were rid
Ing abreast at a walk while Purvis
trailed behind us.
We heard a quick stir In the bushes
by the roadside.
"What's that2" Purvis demanded in
half-whisper of excitement. We
stopped.
Then promptly a voice-a voice
which did not recognize-broke the
silence with these menacing words,
sharply spoken:
"Your money or your lifer'
